FREELAND, PA., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1900.
ELECTION.
Not for many years past has there
been a more quiet election in Freeland
borough than that held yesterday.
The day was an ideal ono for political
purposes, the sun shining brightly until
evening.
The Republicans felt confident of
polling their usual vote, and in this
they were not mistaken, With two
Freeland candidates on their ticket,
they came voluntarily to the polls and
cast more straight ballots than they
have been doing for many elections
past.
With the Democrats the circumstances
were the reverse. Few of the party
men took more than a passing interest
in tlie election and no effort was made
to poll the regular vote. In fact, at
some of the polls of town the Demo
cratic voto fell off over 40 per cent.
The huge ballot alsp bothered the
average Democratic voter, and, as
straight voting would not give a vote for
the nominees scattered in other columns,
many ballots contained marks for but
few of the candidates.
The election passed off remarkably
quiet, and even in the evening, when
the national results came in, but little
feeling was manifested, the Republicans
accepting the verdict as a matter of
course and the Democrats showing very
slight disappointment.
Freeland gave Reese Lloyd, its towns
man. a majority of 457 in a total vote of
896 for clerk of courts. This is a flatter
ing tribute to the esteem in which Mr.
Lloyd is held by his fellow-citizens.
The total vote cast in Freeland for all
candidates is given in an adjoining
column, and the results in the nation
and the several states are published on
the fourth page.
COUNTY.
The entire Republican ticket is elect
ed in the county by majorities estimated
from 4,000 for Palmer to 11,000 for
Ferris. Many election boards did not
complete their work of counting the
votes until this morning.
The Workingraen's ticket polled a
heavy vote, Hincs for judge apparently
leading Martin on the Citizens 1 ticket.
The estimated majorities at noon to
day are:
President—McKinley, 4,500.
Congressman—Paliner, 4,000.
Senator— Drury, 8,500.
,J ndge—Ferris, 1 1,000.
District attorney—Jones. 10,000.
Prothonotary—Jackson, 8,000.
Clerk of courts—Lloyd, 0,500.
Jury commissioner—Thrash, 10,500.
The contest for minority jury com
missioner seems to lie between Muiderig,
Price and Gibbons, with chances favor
ing them in the order named.
LEGISLATIVE.
The legislative contest in tills district
between Messrs. Haworth and Sweenoy
was the closest in the county. The
Freeland candidate, however, was given
a plurality of 170 iu town, and this as
sured his oloction. Mr. Haworth's
plurality, with all districts heard from,
is 210.
Hartinan, R., defeated Boyle iu the
First district by 1,600.
Coray, R., was re-elected in the Sec
ond district by a majority of 2,000 over
LaFrance, 1).
Mahon, R., won in the Third over
Drover, I)., and Hendershot, C., by
1,000.
Burke, P., is elected in the Fifth over
liis opponents, Tighe, I)., and Strange,
It., by 300.

in the Sixth; majority will he small.

RESOLUTIONS.
Account of Death of Ilorouch Treasurer
ThoutuH E. Dttviet*.
Preamble. Inasmuch as the borough
of Freeland has, during the past month,
been called upon to mourn the loss of its
esteemed borough treasurer, Thomas
E. Davies, whose deatli leaves a void
in our community which cannot be
filled, casts a gloom over our entire
body, which has heretofore been bright
ened by his presence, and takes from us
an object of admiration and respect,
leaving but a memory of his virtues and
usefulness.
Whereas, It has pleased Almighty
God, in Ills all-wise jurisprudence, to
remove from among us our worthy and
honored borough treasurer, who "was a
faithful and honest officer, and
Whereas, The intimate relations held
with him in the performance of his
duties both while a member of this body
and while borough treasurer makes it
eminently befitting that wo should re
cord our appreciation of him; therefore
be it
Resolved, That while wo bow in
humble submission to tho Omnipotent
Being, whose handiwork we are, we
mourn his death as one of the greatest
losses our people could have been called
upon to bear, ns there has gone from
our midst a good and faithful officer,
one whose advice was often sought and
counsel accepted, one who was noted
for his perserverance, unceasing in his
ofTorts for the betterment of the com
munity, charitable towards his fellow
men, a kind and loving husband and
father and a man who was true to all
that was noble and good in this world.
Resolved, That in his death our
council has lost an earnest worker and
our community has suffered a bereave
ment which deprives it of one of its
most respected citizens, one who was
endeared to all by his untiring efforts to
promote the welfare of humanity and,
although he has gone to that Supreme
Deity who has called him, he leaves bo
hind him many pleasant remembrances
that shalUnot be forgotten.
Resolved, That wo tender to the be
reaved family our heartfelt sympathy in
this hour of their great sorrow, on the
dispensation with which it has pleased
Providence to alllict them, realizing that
this, their great affilction, will be borne
by them while time or memory endures.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolu
tions be spread on the records of our
council, that they be printed once in
the Freeland Progress, the Freeland
Press and the Freeland Tribune and a
copy be forwarded to the bereaved
family.
