During the campaign republicans boasted that the re-election of Philip H, Meyer, for Co. Commissioner was impos. sible. They boldly proclaimed that he was marked for defeat. To their disap. polntmeut, Mr, Meyer polled the largest vote of any, Mr. Meyer made a good record and the public appreciated his efforts. The defeat of Mr. Hampton was the surprise, The general impression was that he would lead, He is a good man and the county had need for his services, PATTON'S thousands defeated Heinle for senator. Heinle was faithful and true to the interests of the people, but had no money to throw into the cam. paign. To this stage has it come that the rich are overriding honest men, and the machine g2ts a senator whose only strength lay in the money he had to do his work. IN OTHER STATES The result can be briefly as follows : The democrats carried Alabama Ar. kansas, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Caroling, summed up Georgia, | South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Vir | PHILADELPHIA'S BIG VOTE ginta. Governors were elected in Ala bama, South Candina, Tennesses and Texas, The republicans Connecticng, Pennsylvania, carried Indiana, Colorado, y illinois, lowa, Massachusetts, Minneso. ta, New York, Rhode Island, South Da kota, West Virginia, Ohio, Michigan and New Hampshire. Governors were elect ed in Colorado, Connecticut, Massachus- eits, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. The democrats claim that they have elected their candidate for governor in California. They also claim Nebraska Both parties claim Utah. In Wisconsin the resait is likely to be very close as it is also in Kansas, GAINS IN NE® YORK Odell was re-elected Governor of New York, on the republican ticket by great. ly reduced plurality of only while Greater New York plurality for Coler, 129.000. The entire state ticket was elected, but democratic gains were made general for assembly and Congress, Later returns from New York indicate a very close vote and result is in dispute, owing to defective ballots.

That our ticket did not meet with defeat all through, is a great wonder and proves that there is a good, solid democratic following in our ranks that withstood the temptation to betray the party for filthy boodle.
