How Salishary and Elk Lick Voted.
The result of Tuesday’s election in
this borough is somewhat of a surprise,
as the whole Republican ticket, with
but one exception, was elected. Al-
though the borough is strongly Repub-
lican, our people have for a number of
years been electing as many, if not
more Democrats to office than Repub-
licans. Last year almost the entire
Republican ticket was defeated, and
the same result was expected this year,
but with all the hustling and h.rd
work that 8S. R. McKinley, D. O. ile-
Kinley, A. 0. McKinley, Adam Fogle,
8.0. Yewman and a few other fellows
who call themselves “Stalwart Republi-
cans” did for the Democratic ticket,
candidate, and that had to be done by
thie plumping process. The old gang
of kickers is sorely disappointed, while
the public is actually surprised that
they accomplished so little after work-
ing so hard. We knew that the kickers
had ! much of their old-time prestige
witi: the people, but we had no idea
that the voters would be as thoroughly |
onto the tricks of the old gang as the
vote indicates. The kickers had full
sway on the day of election, and prac-
tically no ¢Tort was made to interfere |
with their plans, but the people are
getting onto them, and their power is

Three years ago to-day Mr. Reynolds
held a high position in Washington un-

trict.and wants the Republicans, whom
he so long vilified,to give it to him,and a

that if they cannot control the nomina-

The purpose of the Inquirer to-day is
to destroy the Republican party in the |
county so that Democrats may again
come into power. The Inquirer has
not given the Republican candidates
for county offices an esrnest support |
for years, and during the campaign of |
1899 it is well known that the Inquirer
would have rejoiced at the defeat of |
the county ticket, and gave it the
weakest kind of support. The Inquir- |
