These warrants that remained uncollected were not turned in because the Sheriff had obtained an extension of time to collect them, from the County Board, and is now col lecting them every day. No money has been, at any time withheld, and Sheriff Brisbin has made the largest collection of personal property taxes ever made tn this county. We nave not expected to sup. port Sheriff Brisbin for re-election, simply because we had a friend we preferred for the place; but if this is the kind of a fight to be made on him, sympathy for him will have a very strong tendency to draw us in that direction.

The regular Republican ticket was beaten, in Lawrence, by an independent Republican 'ticket. J. B. Bowersock was elected Mayor, by a vote of 723 to 464 for Mr. Kimball.

It appears that the extreme, fanatical prohibitionists captured the Republican primaries and nominated a ticket made up1 wholly of their class. The result was tne nomination of an opposition ticket, headed by Mr. Bower-sock, a prominent business man, who was supported by Mayor Usher, Judge Thacher and the Lawrence Jonrnal. Every candidate on the opposition ticket was elected, by majorities ranging from 200 to 401. The successful candidates are practical temperance men, but not fanatics.

Among the defeated candidates is W. A. H. Karris, who ran for city attorney, and was defeated by a vote of 423 to 738 for Mr, Borgholthaus. Champion.

There never is any excuse for bolting a regular nomination. We are glad that good reliable business men were chosen in Lawrence and that the fanatics were defeated, but the way to defeat objection-able people is to be on hand at the ty, and enables it to retire from the colossal banking business in which that the Free Press, and Pioneer it is now engaged.
