Vickrey nosed out ahead of T. D. Deutsch by two votes while Snyder, independent, received eighty-eight or about one-half as many as the high man.

Mrs. Aggie Moomaw was elected superintendent as an independent; and A. B. Mc Coskey, for surveyor; and L. O. Tisdel, for coroner. It was not a good year for republicans in Scotts Bluff county. Lot L. Feltham who was county attorney resigned in 1893, and M. J. Huffman was appointed. He was

re-chosen in the fall election of that year, and W. H. Hulbert was elected judge.

The republicans had better luck in 1893, fur only one democrat, T. D. Deutsch for commissioner over George Lawyer, was elected. Two independents, Mrs. Moomaw for superintended, and J. W. Senteny, for sheriff, were elected. L. L. Raymond was candidate against Mrs. Moomaw, and Senteny had two opponents: John R. Stilts and A. M. (Dad) Carr. The republicans secured the rest of the county offices. L. O. Tisdel received a majority over both his opponents, who were W. J. Chambers and Henry Stevens.

The most marked contest seemed to be between the several candidates for clerk. J. H. Vickrey was re-elected by a plurality of thirteen over Martin Bristol, but lacking 103 of having a majority. L. A. Christian and D. D. Davis were candidates. Ed. Sayre was reelected treasurer in a contest against F. M. Sands. O. W. Gardner defeated J. M. King and Theo. Harshman for judge, while A. P. Kittell triumphed over A. B. McCoskey and T. L. Gilmore for survevor. Commissioners for 1894 were B. Decker, T. D. Deutsch and E. S. DeLaMatter. L. L. Raymond was chosen deputy county clerk.
