The slump from Ilolloway to
Wheeler in Nehawka. precinct alone
was sufficient to account for Mr.
Wheeler's majority.
A THOUSAND thanks to the honest
democrats who held oftlciol honesty
and capability above party, and as
sisted in the election of the republi
can ticket.
Who is Jake Eikenbaiy? Plaits-
mouth Journal.
I he editors of that paper are now
fully informed respecting Mr. Eiken-
bary's identity.
We wonder what the popocratic
candidates think now. since the elec
tion li over, and the workings
of the democratic machine are opened
up for inspection.
IT WAS a great victory to elect al
most the entire republican ticket
against the combined opposition of all
the political parties and sure-head
republicans, and shows conclusively
where old Cass stands.
J. C. COVALT defeated M. M. Beal
for assessor in the Fifth ward, EL Ofe
had one majority over Wurtenberger
in the Fourth, C. S. Twigs was eltcted
in the Third, Ruffner had 28 majority
over Weber in the Second and Uuth
mann SO over Smith in the First ward.
Harvey Hoixoway and his f needs
scored a big victory in this city. In
the face of all that malevolence and
hate could do, he cut down a fusion
majority of nearly a 100 to 25, and the
democratic ward, where he and Mat
Gering reside, gave Mr. Ilolloway a
majority of 30. If the fusion isla had
made the same 6ort of campaign out
in the county that was made here
Uolloway's majority would have been
several hundred.
In looking over the wreck of the
campaign, we find that the populists
were done to a turn, just as we ex
pected. They were used to elect a
democratic sheriff, and in return they
eol the marble heart. "Fusion," said
a prominent populist from out in the
county to The News today, "is dead
so far as Cass county is concerned. e
will either vote our own ticket or dia
band our organization. We have
been fleecwd, and it
again."

THE Journal, which has abused Ilol
loway scandalously for weeks, now
discovers that he was a good sheriff,
It also discovers that the efficient
offic9ra in the court house whom it
assured the public were under the
complete domination of the editor of
this paper, were all elected again

a deal at Nehawka. Neither the
sheriff nor any other officer, were
ever approached or had a favor asked
of them by us, and like the other po.it
ical clap-trap in the Journal, every
such statement was without a scintilla
of truth to back it.
TUESDAY'S ELECTION.
The election in Cass county Tncs
uay was one oi tne most hotly con
tested local elections ever held here,
and the result in the whole must be
gratifying to those who favored clean
politics and recognition of honest
omclals. lhe most venal uoscrupu
lous methods to encompass the defeat
of the republican ticket were resorted
to; no lie was too foul, no decoit too
shameless for the coterie of demo
cratic manipulators, headed by Sam
Chapman, Mat Gering, R. W. Hyers
and John Davies to resort to. Their
chief ambition was to defeat Spuilock I
for county judge, because a more pli
able man was wanted for that position
and because the sterling integrity of
Judge Spurlock waa distasteful to
them. Harvey Holloway's defeat
was aesirea ior s milar reasons
9 m ...
by the uosciupu.ous gang t.f pelf
hunter?, and its accomplishment re
flects no discredit on the best sheriff
iass county ever nao, woose every
official act was marked by it high
manly sense of honor and fidelity.
The democratic managers, as the
vote shows, sacrificed their entiie
ticket, in an effort to elect Mr.
Wheeler, and if the game is worth
the price they are welcome to iL
The republicans of Cass oouniy
having lost but one of the five princi-
pal candidates on their ticket, pre-1

will be overthrown.

must fail, as we can piove by the re
