ston. or Mr.. Davenport, or any other gooo
man. their success would have been certain.
The principle of holding conventions and
making nominations. and every man standing
square for the whole ticket, is the correct
one It is principle so fully believed in by
democrats that it was very easy to make the
division which MI. Eggleston made. and elect
the republican candidates. The lesson, now
ever, will not be lost on the democracy, and
will teach our party, in future, to rise up
and call a convention, if their committee does
refuse. So determined were a good many
democrats to teach the party that lesson that
they didn't go half way and vote for Eggie-
ston, and made sure thing of it and voted
for Truesdale and Highly, who are both in
debtedl to democratic votes for their election.

anxious for the Office aud only consented, al
the earnest solicitation of his democratic
friends, to run, as they thought his name
would add some strength to the ticket. He
was strongly in favor of convention, and
was so out of patience with the managers. fol
not calling convention, that he took no &C
tive part in the election. We will warrant
that he is the least unhappy st the result o
all the disappointed ones.

The election was one of unususl excite
ment and called out the largest vote ever
cast in this city for mayor.
The result is not al unexpected one, to US,
considering the dlsorganizsd state of our
party.
The loss of the mayor carries with it no
patronage or importance except in name
Nor does it show q condemnation of Mr..
Davsnport's official action, or want of ap-
probation of his long and useful services as
mayor. But it is q condemnation of his &C.
ton in not going into a convention and sub
uniting his claims, with Others, to the action
of his party. The blame for the result does
not. however. fall upon him alone, but be-
longs to several parties When Mr.. Daven-
port was solicited to again be candidate, he
was of the opinion that. if other gentlemen
were talked of, we should have convention,
at once, and settle the matter and abide by
the result. Afterwards, when he heard that
the friends of Mr.. Eggleston had declared
their purpose to pack the house and control
the nomination, he then refused to have any
thing to do with q convention.
We still urged him and his friends to 90 in
to convention. and we urged the committee
to call ono, but we failed to carry 1t. We
then, without consulting any person whasev
or, wrote and proposed q plan for primary
elections in the wards, hoping this would be
scquiesoed in by both Mr.. Eggleston and Mr.
Davenport. What Mr.. Davenport thought o,
said of this plan we never knew-but Mr.
Eggleston, TO our surprise, objected to 1t Of
a scheme to get Davenport nominated. THE
committee decided against the plan. What
then, could we do? Neither candidate would
listen to any proposition We had made, and
the committee, ss they very we'll know
against our advice and wishes, refused te
call a convention. What should we do9-
The only sensible course we could then pur
sue was to take sides with the man who an
peared to be the strongest and try to concen
trate the democrats upon him and save tn,
election. But this was hopeless effort, fol-
the reason that, when the republicans saw nj
divided, they had hopes of success. closed ~
their ranks and made vigorous effort, a,
was perfectly natural they should do. W,
used every effort we were capable of to de
feat them, and that they were not defeated
is not our fault. Had the democrats held {
