knows better than Mr. Doughty, that
had the Democracy carried the city
by handsome majority ct the Octo-
Der election. he would never have
been the nominee Of that party for The
Office of Mayor. Everybody recog-
nizes The fact that Dir Van RipsZ's de-
clination Of the nomination was die
tated by the leaders OF the party, who
finally convinced him that he stood
not the ghost of a chance Of being
elected, if nominated.
Heretofore, Mr.. Doughty has had
the confidence of a large number of
Republicans. He has been repeated
ly elected to the Council, by good
majorities, because he was Supported
by Republicans of his own ward.
They voted for him because they re-
garded him favorab'y, and because he
pretended that he would not make
the interests Of the city secondary to
the interests Of his party. 1t is no
slight thing 10 forfeit the confidence
of ones personal friends. and yet we
do not see how Sir. Doughty can hope
to retain the confidence of the Repub-
licans of his ward By persistine il
running for an Office for which he
possesses but few if any qualifications
He cannot hope to receive their
votes either now or hereafter. for BY
persisting il running for Mayor, he
demonstrates that with him party
takes precedence Of all other consid
erations, and that whatever the De-
mocracy decree, he must perform
when party caucus commands hS
must obey.
The nine years that William Baker
was Mayor Of Evansville, are the
abiding and cver-truthful witnesses o.
his ability, integrity and indomitabl'
energy. In many particulars the!
were years Of anxiety. Of confusion
and financial distress. Thousands O
dollars were spent in furnish
ing men and supplies to the Gen
eral Government. which. unde
other circumstances. would bav
been applied in developing the re
sources and adding to the improve
ments of the city. Yet, notwith
standing the immense sums that weH
diverted by the war from the imme
date benefit Of the city, its growt
and prosperity during those min
years-its onward march in ever
form Of improvement-have not bee
equaled in any other nine years of il
history. This fact is known to ever
intelligent voter in the city. Do th
people desire the same prudence an
skill at the head of the municipalit
sgain; if so, they will cast their vote
for William Baker.

The question to be decided by the
voters of Evansville, on Saturday next,
is, do they desire to place at the head
of the municipality a man thoroughly
competent to discharge the duties of
Mayor, and at the same time honest
enough to make the peoples interests,
rather than his own, his standard of
official integrity. Under our present
form of city government, the Mayors
duties are complicated, intricate,
and involve vast interests Our
City Council is elected annually,
and is usually composed of men
who, if they have the ability.
will not always take the time to thor
oughly investigate every question of
city administration that comes before
them for consideration and settle
ment, and they must necessarily lock
to the Mayor for advice and sugges-
tions-for facts and fgures-upon
which to base correct decisions.
Thousands upon thousands Of dollars
have been lost 10 the eity-spent for
street and sidewalk improvements
simply because the Council did not
conform to the charter aud ordi-
nances regulating the ordering of such
improvements, and could not in con
sequence compel the property holders
to pay for the same, as had been done
in previous years, and as would still
be done, were q man Of experience
and financial shrewdness at the head
of the city. In this we but mention a
fact known to every property owne,
in the city, who has felt enough inter
est in its prosperity to pay the least
attention 70 the transactions of the
Council. During the present year a
vast number Of side walks have
been ordered, and 6uih at the
expense Of the city, in front
Of property whose owners viii, in
all probability, never be compelled
to pay the city for the same, because
of the irregularity of the proceedings
by which the work was ordered or
executed. The question to be deter
mined on Saturday is, shall this state
OF affairs be eontinued-taxing all the
people for the benefit of few-or will
the people make a change by electing
a Mayor under whose administration !
In years past, such results were sell
dom or never known.

Election Proceeding Quietly In New

New YoRK, Nov. 8-Noon.-Vot-
ing in this city is proceeding quietly,
and it is probable the city will poll
the largest vote on record. Many cit
liens, who habitually take no part in
the elections, this morning are seen
at the polls. In some districts long
lines were formed as early as eight
O'clock. A large vote is already In.

have always kept themselves we'll posted up in
all the new music of the day, and whenever
any special music has been desired for par
ticular occasion, they have promptly procured
and rehearsed it. They have never failed to
give full money value for their services. They
now come before the public for their oyn espe-
cial benefit, to replenish their Treasury, so
that they may continue to be able to procure
the works of the best composers. Let the re-
spouse be a hearty one and worthy of the gen.
erous name that Portland las earned for her.

BRIGHAM YoUNG's ORGAN ON THE cULLoM BILL
The News says the passage of the Cullom bill
by the House, striking out the five sections,
rids it of several of its repulsve features. They
were too strong for Congress to swallow
Many thought the House would never pass the
bill in any form and it's clear invasion of the
constitution would kill it. We cannot say
what the Senate will do with it, but this we
can say; if it passes and should receive the
signature of the President and become law
it will not meet the wishes or answer the ex-
pectatiOns of its authors Personally We car e
not what action be taken. Persecution and pro-
scription drove us from township to township,
and soon to this Territory. 1t has made us
strong, thrifty and fearless. The most valua-
BILE experience We possess to-day We gained
through persecution, and we do not fear its eff
fects. 1t men wish to push Mormonism ahead
let them prosecute. Pass Chllom's bill, and if
that fails raise armies and attempt to fight,
drive and exterminate, and then watch the re-
suit,
