The Late Election.

The election on Monday in this city, was a
very quiet one. The number Of votes cast was
small-not two thirds of the voters coming TO the
polls. and many of those who did come. taking
very little interest in the contest The regular
democracy had their men busy as usual distribu-
ting tickets and urging voters TO the polls. The
Wings and Independent Democrats took things
generally very coolly.
The election was one Of merely local interest !;
and though some of the offices TO be filled were
of Importance so far as the interest of the people
of the county are concerned, yet as there was
not connected with the election, any question of
national or state Importance, on which Wings
and Democrats usually divide on the old party
lines. the desire was very general among The
Wings, that competent, trustworthy and accept
able men, no matter of what party, should be
elected. The leaders of the democracy had an
object TO accomplish, aside from all this. Their
right to govern had been disputed; their prerosa-
tivcs had been questioned. Some of their own
party had proclaimed themselves independent of
their dicta,ion, and declared themselves candi-
dates in opposition to the regular nominees of the
party convention. This was enough at once TO
SpiCdu IdiHl', put hic zap
tains of tens and fiftcs on the alert. They were,
in consequence, very busy few days before the
election in drilling the faithful, and whipping the
refractory into the ranks and on Monday they
were particularly active in getting all their men
TO the polls. This is all very ommendable--they
were working with an earnest will TO maintain
their disputed authority at time when all was
at stake; when they had every thing TO gain by
success-aud when defeat would have been their
utter ruin.
The wings can take courage from the result
They have felt and tested the strength of the en-
envy they have to contend with. With large
majority against them; without concert, with
out organization, without ticket of their own,
and divided even among themselves, as to the
best course to be pursued, they have with the as
sisance Of independent men Of the other party,
done more to weaken the influence and break
down the power Of the democratic leaders, than
in any half dozen contests heretofore. A few
mere such victories, as that achieved by them on
Monday will tell the tale so effectually as to leave
them very small occasion to rejoice over their
success.

A Challenge

Mr. Samuel I.umsden, of Cine innat, who has
JUS, returned from the s'Wori's FAIR" publishes
in the Cincinnati Gazette, challenge, in the sum
of ten thousand dollars, to the London Times, the
Commissioners Of the Fair, or others whom il
may concern in Great Britain, that they cannot
find an Englishman--a British subject-who can
equal in superiority of style, dclicacy of cxecu-
ton and perfection Of workmanship. articles
which were exhibited at the Mechanics Institute,
in Cincinnati in 1912.
Twelve judges to be apppoinled, approved prac-
teal mechanics--six from Europe, and six from
the United States. The decision of the majority
to be binding. The winner Of the ten thousand
dollars must bind himself to appropriate the mon
ey to some benevolent institution or object in Eu-
rope or America.
The Gazette endorses Mr. Lums,len that he is
able to make good the stake proposed. II the
challenge is not accepted, before the expiration
of the Fair Mr. Lnmsden proposes 10 give one
thousand dollars to any mechanic of Europe.
whose workmanship, now exhibiting at the Fair,
shall equal Cincinnati manufacture.

cy' Some close observer of natural events has
remarked that it was a wise provision of Provi-
dencc, in so ordering things that the naviSabe rv-
ers should be made to flow by all the large cities.
We think It is quite as noteworthy, though per-
haps not quite so wise provision of our constiu-
ton and laws, that our elections should always
occur in times Of high party excitement. 1t they
could only be made to take place at some time
when the people could be allowed the benefit of
calm consideration to decide upon the men and the
measures 10 be voted for and sustained, it is high
ly probable that or country would derive great
advantage from so suspicious and favorable a
circumstance. As it is, our elections always hap
pen at time when men are quarrcliing and abu-
sing each other about wing AID democrat-tarif
and ant-tarf-nternal improvements-and par
ticularly about offices. We really think the time
of our elections should be changed.

City Authorities.

We are gratihed TO know, that the City Au-
thorities, are awake to the Importance of reliev-
ing our streets and alleys, of the superabundance
of filth, accumulated during the summer rans.--
Much of the mortality, and malgnancy of Diar-
rhea, has resulted from this source. The refuse
matter, lodged in the cavities of the earth, by the
drifting rains, from exposure to the sun, has be-
come heated, and undergoing Preventative pro-
cess, effervesces, throwing out Carbonic Acid
Gas which, when brought in contact with the
Atmosphere, gives rise to the various diseases
which now prevail in the city. An entire pur-
CATION Of the streets and alleys of our city will
now be commenced by the City Council; and
when this is done, we may expect returning
health
