Vernon Banner North Vernon, Jennings County, Indiana November 5, 1890 110 Years Ago ~><~><~><~><~><~><~><~><~><~><~><~ THE STATE. LATEST RETURNS INDICATE A MAJORITY OF 8,000 DEMOCRATIC ON THE STATE. Both Branches of the Legislature Democratic. Latest reports from various parts of the State take nothing from the magnificent proportions of the Republican disaster of yesterday. The complete returns have been received thus far from about half the counties in the State and Grant is the only one showing a Republican gain, the majority there being increased about 175. At Republican headquarters, to-night, the election of the Democratic State ticket is conceded by from 8,000 to 30,000 majority. It is also conceded that the Democrats have a sufficient working majority in both branches of the Legislature to do most anything except to borrow any more money to carry on the State Government. In Marion county the majorities for county officers range from !,577 for Brown for Circuit Judge, to 3,227 for Taggert, for Auditor. The Republicans have elected Johnson to Congress in the Burnt District by 6,000, a Republican loss of 3,000. Waugh is elected in the Ninth District by a safe majority, and the Republicans still have a chance of pulling Wright through in the First. At Democratic headquarters the election of the Democratic State ticket is claimed by 17,000. The election also of eleven out of thirteen Congressmen is claimed, with a fighting show for Templeton against Waugh in the Ninth. As to the Legislature, Democratic claims are equally extravant. The Senate being claimed by a majority from sixteen to eighteen, and the House by from forty to forty-four. In any event they have enough for all practical purposes. The returns that we give from the county in this issue are not official, but are as accurate as we are able to give them without the official vote, which, we will give next week. The following is the vote by precincts, giving the majorities of those carrying the county: BIGGER TOWNSHIP CAMPBELL TOWNSHIP GENEVA TOWNSHIP Butlerville Precinct Queensville Prct.

Harrison's majority of 459 two years ago has been reduced to less than 300. The Republican county ticket was elected with the exception of John C. Cope for Auditor, who was defeated by Wm. A. Shuck, Democrat, by 43 majority. Irby S. Wagner's majority for Clerk is but 2. The majorities on the balance of the Republican ticket range all the way up to 258 for Wm. F. Welker, the largest on the ticket. Lincoln Dixon is elected as Prosecuting Attorney for the Sixth Judicial Circuit. He informs us that the latest returns give him a majority of 551 in the District. He carried Scott by 300 majority, Ripley by 125 and Jennings by 126. The latest returns that we could obtain in regard to Joint Representative is that Jasper N. Callicott has beaten Mr. Lett by a small majority.
