Galena June 81 Correspondence of the Dubuque
Herald.
Our city election took place to-day and
resulted in the most complete democratic VIC
tory ever achieved in this city. Heretofore
the municipal elections have been held in
March of each year, but, by political trick
cry, the corrupt legislature of last winter
changed the time of holding the election to
later time in the season, when not less
than 250 of our democratic voters are engag-
ed on the river, thus hoping to carry the
election to the control of the radicals. The
result yesterday covers this corrupt scheme
with utter confusion.
The officials elected are: Mayor Shissler ;
aldermen, Ballinger, MarGeld, De Jaeger,
OAK and Berry.
The defeated ticket was headed by John
Lorrain for mayor, the most popular man
that the republican party could BRING out
and, to still further strengthen the ticket
renegade democrats were put on for alder
men.
Mayor Shissley's majority is nearly ESQ
The aldermen have majorities ranging from
Is to 100. The third ward is handsomely
carried by the democracy, the first time IL
the history of the city.

To the Chicago Times
In the late contest for Judge in this 1.-THE
10TH judicial district, T. G. Frost was the
regular republican candidate. He was put
through the convention in regular ring style,
and was proclaimed as the regular nominee,
and, it was said, must be supported. Gen.
A. A. Smith was candidate before the con-
vention but his soldier friends, not being
ring-masters, were beaten in the convention.
The democrats came to the conclusion that,
everything else being right, it would do to
take a man that the ring had discarded SO
the democrats and soldiers joined hands, de-
termined to break and destroy the political
ring masters, and the continued determine
ton to bring cold, Frosty men before the
people. Well, We can announce to you that
the ring is broken, and the soldiers and
democrats friend has been elected by a ma
jority of from 1000 to 1000. This is goot
enough for this time. WITNESS.

Bright Prospects for the Democra'

A gentlemen who has just returned from
a tour over the state south Of the Minnesota
valley, says the St. Paul Pioneer, brings the
most cheering accounts of democratic pros
poets.
The democrats were never in better spirits
or more sanguine of carrying Minnesota at
the next election. They are sanguine for
the very solid reasons that the people are
getting their eyes open, and changes from
radicalism by the scores and hundreds are
going On to such an extent even in the black
est radical counties that nothing will be
wanting, according to their opinion, but an
early convention and a thorough canvass
with live democrats for candidates. to en-
sure glorious victory in November We

for untaltering faith in victory, but every
