Notwithstanding the light vote cast in
The city yesterday, the Republican ticket
~as elected by rather more than the usual
majority. sihce the spring Of 1867 the
Republican majority in the teh wards has
ranged from $50 to e,6o0-usnal]y settling
in the vicinity Of 1,1oo It tarpears at this
writing (pidnighD that Mr. Rumsey's ma
jority will be about 1,100. Wentworth's
majority last spring was LEGO. There was
considerable scratching in some Of the Ger
man precincts against Mr. Warner aud in
favor Of Mr.. Letz Tor member of the Board
Of Public Works, but according to present
appearances the former is elected. The
Council remains Republican by the casting
vote Of the Mayor.
Judging from the platform Of the Peo-
ple'6 Union ticket" and .he known senti-
ments Of hr. 'Bryan, neither party had any
special advantage over the other in devo-
ton to the stars and stripes. The follow
ing resolution Was adopted by the Bryan
Hall meeting on Monday night, and pla'
carded all over the city yesterday morning,
together with the announcement that the
Times would not Claim Mr.. Bryan's election
as Democratic victory:
Reso,red, III It the people Of chicago, Repub-
lieaas, D, mocsats. Bell nnd Breckinriage men,
should ncso kaog no party but tat Of patriots, and
stoitd Unite earnestly and cordially IN support Of

Ticket should BE- @oted for with such unanimfty az
to render its triumph most emphatic declaration
Of cur whole people ignoring al party il, }auoT Of
fAe Onion and In export Of the aorernment.''
Aside from the endorsement Of the
Times and the special nursing Of its Vir-
Elnla cliQues, there was no tint Of seces-
son On Mr. Bryan's garments, and the peo-
pie SO understood it, Whether on the
score of patriotism, respectability, sound
Judgment or public spirit, there was moth
Ing te chousc between the Two men. We
have reiterated this staten. Mt every morn
ing since thc"contest, and it gives us pleas
ure 10 repent once more, that Thomas B.
ETyan is an honorable, whole-souled citi-
zen, whose life is an example of the best
virtues in the onmunity-whom the peo.
pie Of Chicago would have delighted to
honor yesterday with 3 nearly unanimous
vote, but for circumstances which have

The atrocious conduct of the St. Louis
Rspublican and q few papers Of that ilk, in
saying that 1.-THE President has inaugurated
civil war" the President is responsible
for the blood that will be shed,'' &C., de-
serves the eeverest apprehension by men of
all parties. No newspaper thus falsifes
facts unless it is at heart thoroughly in the
interest Of the secessionists, and an enemy
OF the country. We make no exception in
