The first election under the new
suffrage law will occur IN George

and some minor officers are to be
chosen. Mr.. Addison, the present
Chief Magistrate Of the old and
sleepy borough, has occupied that

least one term more. He sees, as
every other man UtintClllgCnCo sees,
that the negroes of the city hold the
balance OF power, and lie and his
friends are nursing the negro vote
as carefully and tenderly as ever the
TammanN politicians nursed tho
Irish vote. In Washington no elec.
tion will be held until June, but the
Democratic leaders are already

know where his pump was, or if he had
any, or II not, couldn't tell US where there
was a spring. In a moment Col Rabcock
came out smiling, whirling his hat around
his head once and beckoned Generals Ord
