FRIDAY, APRIL H, 1900
The fact has again been demon
jstrated that you can't tell who is
elected until the votes are count
ed. _
Now that the elections are all
over, let’s take the result good
naturedly and settle down to busi
ness. _
There is at least one sign of
spring. The Little Rock ball
team is limbering up. They have
won two games from St. Louis.
Had you noticed itf Not a sin
gle county candidate who did not
announce in The Journal was
lucky enough to win in the recent
primary, barring those, of course,
who had no opposition.
The ticket nominated tit the re
cent primary is a very good one.
All the nominees are good men.
and while we <1 id not get our
choice in every instance The Jour
nal can and will support the tick
et from top to bottom.
Here’s a newspaper man's deti
nition of a gentleman credited to
an exchange: “A man that's
clean on the inside and outside;
who neither looks up to the rich
nor down on the poor; who can
lose without squealing and who
can win without bragging; who is
considerate about women, children
and old people; who is too brave
to lie, too generous to cheat, and
who takes his share of the world
and lets other people have theirs.
RESULT YET UNKNOWN
When The .Journal went to
r press at three o’clock yesterday
evening the official count of the
returns from the primary in this
county was just begun, and as
there was little prospect of the
Count being finished until late this
afternoon, (Friday) The .Journal
cannot give its readers the exact
result.
A summary of the unofficial re
turns is given our readers in sup
plement form with this issue, but
the official count may change this
considerably.
It is thought, however, *that the
state senatorship is the only place
which the < fficial count may af
fect. The candidates for senator
are so close it will take the official
to determine who is the winner.
RUMORS OF FRAUD.
A news dispatch published on
the first page indicates that the
election returns from some coun
ties have been “doctored,” to a
certain extent. The Journal
knows nothing about the truth
fulness of this charge, and only
publishes the report as it comes to
us. We hope, however, if fraud
has been committed in any county
| by any of the candidates or their
friends, that the guilty parties,
no matter who they are or which
I side they are on, will be severely
punished.
The man who doctors election
returns or alters a ballot in any
| manner whatsoever, is striking a
severe blow at the very founda
tions of the American government.
He is* worse than an anarchist, to
tally devoid of principle, and
should be severely dealt with.
The Journal believes, however,
that these rumors of fraud are
more or less exaggerated, and that
the situation will ultimately clear
I up satisfactorily to all con
cerned.
In tin; meantime, however, it
i would be well to keep a sharp
lookout for indications of fraud
and if any is discovered anywhere
along the line from constable up,
t'-ach the perpetrators a lesson
that will not soon be forgotten.
