The enrly returns ns they came In Tuesday
night were taken by telephone by n few ot j
the democratic leaders at the JacUsonlan
club. The first precinct reported showed a
heavy sain for Holeomb over Shields' vote
of a year aso , nnd the tidings swept away
the fears that had been entertained that j
everything might not be Just right for the
]
fulfillment of fusion hopes. The few men j
present set up a wild howl Hint swelled
the crowd somewhat. The next precinct re
port was In the enmo strain , nnd the ex
pression of approval became moro pro
nounced. As precinct after precinct rolled
In with favorable figures the torrent of
npplauso gathered force nnd continuity. An
hour after the first returns reached the club
rooms the party workers had It nil figured
out that they had not only carried the
county for the head of the ticket by 1,000 ,
but that every man on the fusion ticket was
elected. Success eeemed to make them rav
enous , and they claimed everything In
sight. They were not disposed to oven con
sider the possibility of the election of a
man on the republican ticket. They
cheered for the success of John
Power. Then they cheered for the success
of Broadwell. Then they gave Curtis n '
whirl and did not forget Hofcldt. Then they
cheered John Power again nnd again. Later
they wcro cheering for the fusion candidates
for the district bench , and even Carr got a
round or two. As the cheering progressed
It became moro fervent and discordant nml
boisterous and the excursions to the neigh
boring rofcctorlea became more frequent. As
the evening wore on the enthusiasm ran
higher and the revelers grow more noisy
and less Interested In the tenor of current
nows. The hall resounded with burlesque
songs nnd the operator could not follow the
click of the telegraph instrument. As the
effervescence of the enthusiasm were away
the numbers decreased and midnight found
most of the revelers dispersed to their homes
or elsewhere harboring the triumphant con
viction that they had elected every one ,
from Bryan for president down to Harring
ton for assessor. The pain at heart experi
enced by them on learning their mistake was
not the only pain that racked tho' frames of
Borne of them next day.
One noticeable effect of the returns was
that the heelers were knocked out completely.
Few of them wore to be seen around yester
day morning. Now and then one was found
mixed up In a crowd of Interested people
tolling Just how It all came about , but as a
rule the hustlers of one party were unable
to get around today because ot the excessive
exuberance of Tuesday night , and those of
the other party dreaded the disclosures that
promised to follow their coming ( Sown town.
Upon every corner was assembled a crowd
of citizens of the class that usually goes
quietly home election nlshts , content to
await the morning's revelations as to re
sults. They were down town early and were
eager In their Inquiries concerning the suc
cess of different portions of the ticket. Many
of the republicans were shocked to learn how
deeply the treachery of some who listed
themaelvffl In the registration books as re
publicans had penetrated and were relieved
as the returns coming in assured the suc
cors of the republican Judicial ticket and a
majority of the candidates for county ofllces.

There was n. well attended congregational
meeting at the Central United 'Presbyterian '
church Wednesday night for the purpose of
taking some action In regard to culling it
pastor to take the place made- vacant by the

compllnhed , There was a division of senti

appeared before the church. Itcv. Ilobert
Yost of St. Louis nnd Itcv. J. Prcssloy

In favor of waiting until Bov , J , Knox

FACTORS IN THE ELECTION
Bryant Holeomb and Stone Did Much to
Braca Up the Pnsionists.
EXPOSITION WRECK "WORKED" TO LIMIT
Trnllorniin Conrnc I'nranoil liy the So-
Culled "Patriotic I.enRiiem" Under
IetulerNhlp of .lohn IVcli -
nter nml Cadet Tnylor.
Thcro is no doubt that the final rallies
with IJryati , Holeomb , Stone nnd other
speakers lined up and braced up the fusion-
lets In this county and restrained many who
were disposed to conic over by reason of the
prevailing prosperity and Improved condi
tions. Jn addition to this , however , there
were local causes for the heavy vote given
to Holeomb and the fusion ticket. First.
Holeomb , or somebody for him , had pledged
the reversal of the supreme court decision
that placed the appointment of the Flro and
Police commission In the hands ot the mayor
nnd council. This pledge wan Industriously
circulated by the Hordmnnltes among police
men nnd firemen who had been discharged
by the present commission and every one of
these men devoted his best energy to sand
bagging the republican ticket with the hope
that ho would be rclnntatcd by the now Flro
nnd Police commission.
ltuuor .11 en Are United.
The brnwors and dealers In liquor gener
ally gave their support to Holeomb and the
fusion ticket with the same Idea In mind ,
believing that the new commission would
glvo them a wide-open town.
The killing of Jim Smith nnd acquittal of
Policeman Inda was used as a firebrand
among the colored people , who wcro led to
bellevo that Smith was murdered by Inda
and that the latter would bo discharged from
the force by the now commission.
Another factor that Impelled the colored
people to vote the democratic ticket was
Judge Gordon , who hnn posed ns a friend of
the lawless classes of both ocxes and all
colors. Uordon worked upon the credulity
of the colored people and Impressed them
with the Idea that they had been persecuted
and oppressed by the city administration.
The exposition wreck was worked for all
It was worth nnd several hundred employes
who had failed to get their pay wore duped
Into the belief that the failure of the expo
sition to draw attendance wan duo to the ex
posure made by The Boo ot the loose bus
iness methods and fake pretenses of the first
management of the enterprise. These people
ple doubtless took their revenge for a fancied
grievance by voting the democratic ticket.
The howl about alleged election frauds ,
ropentcrn nnd Imported voters , which had
no foimdatlco In fact , doubtless exerted an
Influence upor1 law-abiding citizens who gave
credence to the ott-repeatcd assertions that
the republican managers wcro Intending to
corrupt the hallot , just as many others did
to the ridiculous story that Mark Hanna had
s ent $00,000 to Omaha to carry the election
for Reese.
TrenclicrotiH "I'ntrlotle Ionsrnor . "
Last , but not least , was the treachery of
the leaders of the so-called Patriotic league
under the leadership of John L. Webster nnd
Cadet Taylor , whose handiwork Is visible In
the returns from the various wards in which
they have operated , ostensibly In support of
the republican ticket , while in fact they wcro
knifing it from lop to bottom. In South
Omaha these Patriotic leaguers , under the
leadership of Kelly , devoted their time and
energy to the nlection of Broadwell and Cur
tis , the democratic candidates respectively
for clerk of the courts and county clerk , for
whom they helped to roll up majorities of
nearly 1,000. The prc f. of thin perfidy is In
the vote for Curtis , who ran against llaverly ,
the most popular republican on the county
ticket , who was not offensive to any faction.
It I a fact known to the republican managers
that fully 300 democratic worklngmen voted
for Juclgo Ileese in South Omaha , but their
votes were off-set by the Patriotic league
bolters.
SOUTH OMAHAEWS
Generally speaking Interest In the elec
tion just over centered in the head of the
ticket and the race for clerk of the dis
trict court and sheriff , but any number of
poopio nero were oeopiy mieresieu in me
local rciturns and consequently Bought In
formation from the newspaper offices. The
fact that South Omaha was electing n police
Judge this fall , which Is out of the or
dinary , and the conditions surrounding the
placing of the names of two candidates on
the ticliot caused many anxious Inquiries
as to the result of this race. Patrick King ,
ono of the best known residents of the city
and a democrat , was a candidate , for the
office of police judge against W. S. Babcock -
cock , the present Incumbent. Petitions were
flloj by both these candidates , ns It IB only
by a recant decision of the supreme court
that the ofllco of police Judge was declared
a county Instead of a municipal office.
Judge Dabcock had only seven days In
which to make his canvass and he certainly
must be gratified at the result , as his oppo
nent's majority is only 8 votes. For
King there were polled 1.5G5 votes and for
nabcock 1,470 , a difference of S9. In case
there la no contest over this result Mr.
King will take his seat In January along
with the balance of the county officers.
Patrick C. Caldwell was elected a justice
of the peace , his vote being 1,320. Jacjb
I.uvy was re-elected by a vote of 1,329. For
constables Patrick Cnblll and James
Drablts were chosen , The first had a vote
of 1,399 , and the latter 1,357 to hie credit.
Lou Etter , ono ot the best known re
publicans In the city , was elected assessor
for the First ward by a vote of 830. His
opponent , Ralph Hall , received 480 votes ,
John Zalondok was chosen assessor In the
Second ward. His total vote was 385.
Theio wcro six candidates for assessor
In the Third ward und C. O'Brlrn won out
with a vote of 18S. In the. Fourth ward the
Interest In the selection of an assessor ap
peared to bo greater than the choice of a
judge of the supreme court. Many bal
lots were cast for assessor alone and this
action tended to the handling of many bal-
lota with but small reoultw. Joseph Car-
rolls wins the prize with a vote of 135.
