We pablishe,, on our outside the re-
suit Of the municipal election in Pitts
bargh, held a week ago last Tuesday.
Nafious comments have been elected
by the election of Blackmore, who is
a--well, that's more than we know
a Democrat at times. The Post, the
city Democratic daily, labors to effect
the impression that it is victory for
its party exclusive of the Labor Re-
form Or any other organization, and as
paradcs the falsehood before its ad-
miring readers. OF courss the brood
ever ready for acackle will catch up the
refrain and ring it through the rural
districts as evidence of the reaction
working in opposition to Republican
ism. We have plain statements and
we trust common sense enough to draw
plain conclusions relative to this. 1t
is the rebuke of their leaders that
Pittsburg Republicans aimed at, the
dcnonncing of the cliquct that heretofore
pulled wires and drew checks to suit
themselves. the regular nominations
in the case of the Mayor and Treasur-
er were distastful to the bulk of Re-
publican voters and their purpose was
to annul the nomination by defeating
them. To do this required force from
each party opposing, and securing a
favorable candidate and happy cooper
alton they succeeded, and so far as
we are concerned we arc glad oft. The
Republicans do not claim victory,
but they claim the salutary effect of a
defeated "ring," and more proper
observance hereafter of popular feel
ing. The Republic, Johnsonan, has
it that $50 far as Mr.. Blackmorc's cleo
ton could be claimed as having any
bearing outside of issues originating in
the Radical Convention, it is certainly
All Endorsement of the President. Mr..
Blackmore was Secretary of the first
johnson Club which ever met in this
city, and it is well known that he full
ly indorses the President and deprccates
theassaults uponhim, citherby Repub-
licans or Democrats"
And the jVort'nynnn 1drornte, the
labor Reform orgA, declares "thc as
scrtion that the result of our munich
pal election last Tuesday was a"Dcm-
ooratic victory" is riyuland Hdpunt

dates for Mayor and Treasurer had

would have been defeated by an
overwhelming majority The Success
full candida.o3 w3ia nominated aud
elected by the Labor Reform party,
assisted by Democrats, and Republic
ans alike ,and could not have been
elected otherwise. The attempt to
construc the result achieved into a
Democratic" partisan triumph is as
disgusting as it is villianous, and we
say this in behalf of the Labor Re-
form party, and all who, without re-
gard to old party ties, co-opcratcd with
it in the elections"
To all of which the Post replies BY
assuring them that neither party weigh
ell aught against the Democratic bal
lot. The question then is, was It a
Democratic, Labor Reform, or john
son victory? Or success of the peo-
pie over political "rings?"

| RAPHAEL SEMMES ON THE AMERICAN FLAG.
Tue following speech was delivered by Admiral
Raphael Semmes, at presentation of colors to the
steamboat Commercial, at Memphis, recently:
do not know whether the thought has struck 9TH
oddly it has struck myself, that should be
standing here, amid this gay throng, about to present
the stars and stripes TO of the enrolled vessels of
the United States to restore, it were, the star
spangled banner to the masthead of the merchant
ship, from which, in times gone by, have so often
caused to descend But such some of the reyolu-
tons of history. To the unthinking multitude have
indeed been great sinner and great rebel; but to
the more thoughtful have been only patriot. Par
adoxical the expression may appear to my hearers
have never warred against the institutions of my
country have always cherished an affection for the
principles Of the old Constitution and the old flag
and it was only when the old flag became new flag
and ceased to represent those principles that
sented to war against IT,
One of the first acts performed by the provisional
Congress, that met at Montgomery, to adopt the
old Constitution the Constitution of the Confederate
States and but for the confusion which woult. have
arisen from the of the battle-fag by two
contendng armies, that Congress would, no doubt
have claimed aud adopted the old flag also. The two
the Constitution and the fag-had always been uni
ted in the mind and heart of every American and it
was difficult to separate them.
AS then, our war was one for the old Constitution,
it followed, logically, that were only arrayed
against the old flag, because it had ceased to repre-
sent that Constitution. The stars and stripes that
hold in my hand were no longer, in our judgment,
the and stripes of the revolution of 1915 Of
the of 1872, and when we fred upon them,
fired upon what conceived to be new and strange
emblem that had been unknown to our fathers But
the strife is ended. We were beaten in the war,
and the flag of the conqueror became flag. Take,
then these colors, captain they the coors of
common country, whatever may be their present sig
nifcance. We can all feel an honest pride in their
ancient history, as trust shall be enabled to do
in their future history.
With regard to what may call their episodal his
tory-hat is the history which the four years
of our internecne warit is duty, both as Chris
tians and brethren, to forget it. The war has left
many and CHASTITY wounds. Let US, of the South, do
our part by closing them with tender and gentle
hand, so that may remain to remind Of the
conflict. And let us endeavor also, to convert this
flag into the old flag again, that may love it
of yore. Then truly may we exclaim, with the au-
