STILL IN IT.
TuesJay'a Elections Favorable to the Kt-
publican l'arty.
The elections hell throughout this
country l,it Tuesday reulbs in ii
toriesfor the Pcpuhlicun except in ti
few minor cases, Tho ntatea of Nt-w
Vork, Winconain, NtbraKka, Michigan
and Iowa have been the principal centers
of interest in the matter of fctato elec
tions and they have all Urn won bythe
Pepublicana by handsomu majorities.
The vob-H of the states west of the
Mirisissippi indicaU? that the eople of
that hi vt ion are laeaking away from the
free silver idea. In Minnesota, however,
the fusion candidate for governor was
elected, but the renowned champion of
free silver, Cha Town-. wa defeated
for congress.
coNuitrs
The Iiepubheans have g lined tenatora
in Wisconsin, New York, New Jersey,
Delaware and North Dakota. This in
sures the control of the senate to the lte-
puhlieans.
There was a slight loss in the nuiulcr
of Kcnublieau conreHsmrn from the
eastern section but enough have lieen
elected to give the Pepublicun a work-
ingmajority of about twenty-five, which
insures a support of the administration.
Wisconsin and Michigan elect solid dele
gations of Republicans to the lower
house, which means a loss of two D-ino-
crnts in congie.runen in this state.
sTATK.
The vote in the slate was very light
compared with two years ago. Pingrce
carried the state by a slightly reduced
majority but, when the proportional
vote is ligiircd in, lie about holds disown
with his vote of two yearn ago. The
li-gisluture stands as follows: Senate,
2'J IlcpiiblicaiiH, 'A Democrats; house,
D.'J Republicans, 7 Democrats. This In-
Hiires the election of a Republican sena
tor, but whether llurrows or Pack Is
not known at this writing.
rONUttKHHlONAo.
('ailos D. Shclden is elected from this
district by a majority of alsuit 10,000.
There was no cutting of him by Stephen
son men on account of the contest but,
to the contrary, in the county of
Menominee Mr. SheMen ran ahead of his
ticket. Mr. Sh Idea's majority in this
county was Ins, carrying every towu-
ship except Stambaiath.
Alexander Ma it land, the Republican
candidal for state senator rtTeived t
handsome majority In this county and
carried his district in roikI hIihih? as did
Sherman T. Handy, the candidate for
representative. Mr. Handy'a majority
will be close to :i,r00 in this district.
COUNTY.
The result of the vo'" upon tb county
oHiceis shows, a situation that is decid
edly mixrd. Prank W. Cole was ilo-
feated for clerk by "a large majority
and M. II. Moriarty and J. P. Corcoran
are lieu lor treasurer. Aioriariy wan
one ahead of Corcoran in the county
outside of Atkinson and everyone was
on the qui vive during the forenoon
Wednesday to get the let urns from that
township. They came, in time, showing
that Corcoran had a majority there of
one, which made the vote a tie in the
county. There vviM l a recount.
M. H. Waitc.the Republican candidate
for sheriff, was elected by a handsomi
majority, as was also Jackson for regis
ter of deeds, Mrs. Plewelllng for court
commissioner, Ira Jackson for surveyor
and CasMr Alerle and Sturgeon for
coroners. The light mi prosecuting at
torney was a hot one. Abbott lnat
I'lyer in this towu by but three majori
ty while Hyera carried Iron Kiver by
thirty-two. These renal In practically
decided the election of Ilycrs and lattv
return "how that bin majority m 87.
1I1K NKW OFKICH.I H.
M. II. Waite, IIih successful candidate
for Sheriff sneered himself in that olllee
and is well known to the wo pie of the
county as a careful aud ellicient olllcer.
The clerk-elect i a new man to the
xople as a county ollicial although ha
i well known jH-rsonally throughout the
county. Por the past four year he has
In n a resident of Stambaugh township
where he ha held the olllee of township
clerk. We sincerely hojie and we con
fidently expect that Mr. Wall will make
the county a careful and capable a
clerk as has the outgoing ofllcial, W.J.
Ilrown.
There Is ing a tie in the result of the
vote for treasurer, we cannot, of course,
intrixluee to our render the successful
man but we will say that should the n
count, which will be mado by the Isnird
of canvassers, show a 'majority for
cither man, we ran assure the eoplt'
that the successful one will serve thq
people well. Mr. Corcoran hn la id the
office four years Is forp iwv) the fact tlwt
he fame so near wiimixtf out last Tucs
day i nulHcient evidence that he did the
work well. Mr. Moriarty will do Just a
well us Mr. Corcoran and will give the
people a good, clean administration.
. I. II. Jackson succeed himself a
register, which fact is sulllcient of itself
to vouch for hi efficiency. Mrs. Plewel
ling is, we Itelieve, the first woman that
has Uvn chosen by tho Ko()e of the
county to 1111 any of the offices thereof
and we extend her our congratulations,
Casper Alierle, Rolert H. Sturgeon and
Ira Jackson make up the hil.mce of the
list. They are all good men and will
give sat U tuition.
Of course there nre disappointed ones
there always must U? In nuch cases.
There are broken promises and there
art? petty treacheries that are hard to
swallow, but the boys waged a fair light
and deserve the approbation of the
fteople for their manliness at least.
Jut to cull the attention of the
voters to a fact that may have escaped
their notice, we wish to pmut out the
utter fuUity of the prating of some
cronic on the other utile of tin county
who are continually raising tho cry that
the eople of thin side are monopolizing
the olllces. Mr. Aterl i the only
east side man elected. Waite, Wall, Ira
and Irving Jackson, Byersand Sturgeon
are all from the other side of the county.
The west skiers seem to be in it.
THE IRON MARKET.
The Cleveland Iron Trad Review's Ketumeof
the Week la Iron Circlea.
The record of iron ore shipment in
the fall season of 1807, lsth by water
and all-rail, vva passed in Octotwr,
Official figures just received show a total
wjiter shipment up to Nov. 1 of PJ.fllo,-
rU tons. Last year tdo total to the
same date waft 1 1,270,28:1 ton. Octo
ber shipments thia year were l,ool,41o
tons; last year, 1,102,712 tons. In
Novemler last year the total was alsuit
.)00,000 tons. Indication are that
thi will not be equah-d in the. present
month, and tat theie may be some
thing less than PV-j millions for the
total water movement of the season.

a few thousand ton of soft hematites

jumble. Pouts going to Dululh foi

what they could get. Thu from $1 the

John Dillon's New Play.
"Ilai tlctCi Road to SelUerville," Mr.
John Dillon' new play, 1 from the pen
of Dai rcl Macklin and is in four acts.
It tell an interesting story of contem
poraneous life, and while the happeuinga
are very exciting, they nre entirely prob
able. It in not best to give the story in
detail, e surprise in the development
of a plot add to theauditor'senjoyment.
The end of uncertainty is the death of
interest. Hiram Jolly, a gentleman
farmer, i blessed with a loveatue op
timistic nature, and is called "Uncle
Jolly" by all who kaow and love him.
He i spoken of a "Jolly Uncle Jolly"
localise of hi gtoi ion boyishness ami
unfaily good humor.
The age of sixty find him unmarried,
why, the play explain. He bait brought
up and educated the daughter of a
widow friend, and loving each othei,
they have become engaged.
The play contain le? incident of
their wedding day, which, niffico to say,
are varied, exciting and humorous.
Uncle Jolly's bride, a charming gill, her
mother, a nephew and niece, an old
friend, a young artit,iiu old ncrvitor,
a keeper in a burnt 'r asylum, and an
eccentric just Ice of the piece, ten charac
ters in all aid in a sei ies of Itewildering
ntul laughable incidents that make this
an rntertaining dramatic comedy. Mr.
Dillon and company wil' npirar in
"Hurt let Ph Koad to KelUerville" at
Crystal Pall on the evening of Novern-
tier lo and it i wise to secure neat
early. We ate assured hi manager ban
