McHenry County. The result in this county, as n<ar as we can ascertain jt at the time of going to press, is as follows: McKinley, 5,040; Bryan, 1,359; Palnfer, 59; Levering, 75; Tanner, 4,990; Aftgeld, 1,909; Forman, 50; Gere, 75. The vote .for the other candidates for State, Congressional, Legislative, and County offices, will vary but little from these figures. Giving McKinley a clean majority of 3,556. - BOARD OF SUPERVISORS VICTORY! Proceeding's of the Annual September Meeting:, 1896. WEDNESDAY.

BEYANISM HE! WE IPED OUT. Anarchism Rebuked. A CLEAN SWEEP The Popocrats Buried so Deep that Gabriel's Trumpet will Fail to Bring Them Forth. THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN In Thunder Tones I ANARCHY & REPUDIATION TOO DEAD TO TALK. LET OLD GLORY WAVE. By her vote of Tuesday last McHenry has put herself solid in the Republican column, and put her seal of condemna­ tion upon Bryanism, Free Silver and Anarchism, and by a majority of 58 pronounces for Protection to Home In­ dustries and Sound Money. This, when we take into consideration the fact that four years ago she gave 69 Democratic majority, and that, she has been in the Democratic column for the past thirty years, at least, we have good cause to say WELL DONE McHENRY. No stone was left unturned by the over- zea ous B.ryanites, and no act was too low or-mean in the attempt to deceive the people by false statements and circu­ lars, posted up at the last moment, but the voters had been reading for them­ selves and were not so easily led by the brainless individual who pretended to control the votes of the town. The vote on President and Governor was eis follows: McKinley... Bryan........ 277 McKinley's majority, 57. Tanner > 334 Altgeld.... 276 Tanner's majority, 58. McKinley, 264 Electoral Votes. ILLINOIS TO THE FRONT "With 125,000 Plurality. NEW YORK 300.000 Wisconsin 100,000. SO IT GOES ALL ALONG THE LINE. COCK-A-DOODLE-DO- 0- O The Brvan and Altgeld Rooster sick Cause, an overdose of campaign litera­ ture issued by the Free Silver committee SENATOR CHANDLER'S OPINION Senator Chandler, of New Hampshire, gives his opinion of Tuesdays election as follows: "New Hampshire gave'2,000 foi Harrison four years ago, and now gives 25,000 for McKinley. There has been a political revolution in this country. The election of McKinley and Hobart appears to mean that free silver with gold sent to a premium is not sound but partial repudiation of public au^private debts, that protection by tariff duties is a settled American princi­ ple, that mobs in our great cities are to be suppressed by national power, that Venezuela is to be protected the Sand­ wich Islands to be annexed, and Cuba made free; and that the Democratic party has dissolved. That is enough for one election." Tljfe'eieetion on Tuesday last was a glorious victory, even better than the most sanguine could have hoped for. The Republicans swept the country with overwhelming pluralities, McKinley and Hobart carrying every state worth carrying. Even the solid South is broken. "The year 1894 is repeating it­ self in 1896, only more so. From the, forests of Maine to the utmost border West and South come tidings of great joy, rnd the hearts of the people, not Republicans alone, are glad with a migbtv gladness which recalls the fall of Richmond." As has been said this was a campaign of education, and the result proves that the voters all over the land have been reading and thinking for themselves, ft hen this state of thingH exists the re­ sult is sure to be right. The Inter Ocean in summing up the re­ sult in this State says: "Complete re­ turns from Chicago and Cook county, and almost complete returns from the other counties in the state, make definite the status of Illinois in the Republican column. In Cook county the Republicans gave McKinley a plurality of 71,052; Tanner a plurality of 50,906; all other state officers about the same plurality; elect all of the seven members of Congress 32 memoers of the Legislature, all the county officers, including all the county commissioners. This is bettertfhan the first claims, and the returns may be re­ garded as o#5cial. In the state at large McKinley will have a plurality of 125,000, and Tanner's plurality will be about 105,000. The Republicans elect seventeen of the twen ty-two Congressmen, and the Legislature will stand forty-three Republicans to eight Democrats in the Senate, and nine­ ty-four Republicans to fifty-eight Demo crats and one Populist in the House."

Final disappearance of the McHenry contingent of the Popocrat party. The Manx Shearwater. We have still within the limits of the British isles a few colonies remain­ ing of a small cousin of "the largest of sea fowles- typical representative of the great oceanic family of the Tubi- narides--the Manx shearwater. Driven from the island from whioh it takes it name, where once it bred in enormous numbers, the shearwater still congregates during the breeding season by thousands in Eigg, and iu smaller numbers in others of the western is­ lands of Scotland, Ireland and Wales, and has a home on one, and one only, of the Scilly isles, within a mile or two of the reefs of evil repute among which Queen Anne's fleet on its return from Spain, confused by continuous fogs, and believing itself far to the south off the French coast, found itself entangled with fatal results on the night of the 23d of October, 1707. The chief part of the island is cover­ ed with thrift, which has grown on the dust of its ancestors until it has formed a light, spongy peat of its own, extend­ ing in places to several feet in depth, honeycombed, more particularly at the eastern end, with burrows. On landing--though black backed and) herring gulls are in plenty, and the sea­ side rocks are dotted with puffins and shags--there is nothing to be seen which could suggest to an explorer un­ warned that he stands in the chief Eng­ lish breeding place of the most power­ ful and graceful on the wing, and--ex­ cepting perhaps its own smaller near relative, the stormy petrel--the most poetical in association of European birds. The shearwater during the nesting sea­ son is nocturnal in its habitB, leaving the nest, if at all, only after sunset, and returning before daylight.--Black­ wood's Magazine. The Childs Mansion. Wootten, the magnificent country house of the late George W. Childs, is to be torn down. Such is the intention of its owner, George W. Childs Drexel, who intends to erect On its site a larger and much more magnificent structure. This was the favorite residence of the late philanthropist, and it was there that he dispensed his superb hospitality to the salt of the earth. In that house, it is safe to say, more people of renown have been entertained than in any other private residence in the United States. The house itself is a splendid creation of the architect'^genius. Allied in style to the country habitations of the nobili­ ty of England, its surroundings of lawn and garden and farm are in full accord. --Philadelphia Inquirer.
