iAihCt Win ~ ftGW Va UBttlbAuk III HA-
preston of opinion upon the proposition
TO disincorporaie the city. They, there
fore. nominated n Peoples Party ticket.
This ticket had everything its own way
until another set of candidates appeared
in the field under the designation of a
Citizens Ticket. It seems that up to
the middle of Monday, or thereabonts,
the friends of the Peoples candidates
were confident of a large majority; bnt
that after the officers of the polls had de-
termined upon an adjournment for re-
freshments, and the ballot-box had been
taken away, n change came over them.
Lond whispers OF fonl play were quietly
interchanged, and when q count was had,
after the closing the polls, the Citizens
Ticket rolled up a handsome majority.
We have heard ii said that an individual
who took a deep interest in the election.
noticed n suspicious circumstance in the
ballots that ought to have been cast
about the time of the return of the
judges. There was a stratum of eighty
straight Citizens ticket in the vicinity OF
the place indicated. This, however,
conld hardly be true, if the registry and
yote-tally agreed: and that they did moi
agree seems probable from the fact that
n of the judges, G. Patchen. refused
TO certify to the returns. There will
doubtless be more stir about this before
it all blows over.
MAKING WAY FOR IMPRovEMENTs.-We
notice quite a number of improvements
under way in various parts of the city,
The old shell, next to the St. Nicholas,
where Mr.. Simon kept his Monte de Pho,
has been torn down, and Mr.. Friedman
is about to erect a spacious and more
imposing structure. The latter, it is in
timated, will reserve a shop for himself
in the new building, and over the archi-
traye of the door will fly the well known
sign of the three golden balls. The ex-
tensive frame, adjoining Wells, Fargo &
Co. will soon be completed. 1t will be
occupied by Mr.. Schmolz, from Virginia,
as an assaying establishment. Dimoek
has the contract of building. The va
cant lot between Wagner d Smiths hard
ware store and Bach's barber shop. is
being excavated for the laying Of foinda-
ton joists for the underpinning OF a new
structure. The lot has a large frontage
and the location is n good u for bust
ness. All the above improvements are
under way on Main street. In other
portions of the city, the work of erect
ing new buildings is not very lively.
HAPPY DEMocBAT.-We know of one
Democrat in town who has been pecul-
iarly fortunate and correspondingly hap
py, Notwithstanding the Fifteenth
Amendment demonstration on Monday.
His first stroke of good luck wa to get
defeated for the nomination for Marsh Il
at the Democratic municipal cor eention;
and his second was the presentation to
him yesterday, by his wife, of n new
born babe of the female persuasion. We
met HIM last evening on his why home
laden down with household comestibles,
including a suspicious cylindrical pack
age. He was smiling like a mealy pota-
toe, and evidently would MT have cared
two contineDtals il the whole Black
Republican ticket had been elected. AL
DeShields is the happy man Of Hamil-
ton par erceRence.
From the laage quanti-
ties of seed sold Mt the stores of the
various dealers in this city. we look con-
fdently forward to an ample supply of
vegetables before long-and cheap.
Gardens must be springing up in every
eligible spot within reaching distance of
the city. Indeed there exists a Juror for
gardens, and we are told that wen
'Fefg' has been touched with the mania,
and has planted one back of his Office.
To BE CoNrEsrEp.-We understand
that the election at Treasure will be con
I, sted in the courts, ii the parties select
ed determine to assume the offices.
There seems to be strong ground for the
presumption that the ballot-box was
tempered with during the noon recess of
the judges and clerks, n of whom Mr.,
Patchen1 refuses to certify to the cor
rectness of the returns.
RAILROAD MEETINo.-We hope to see
n large attendance at the railroad meet
ing tonight. II will be held at the City
Hall. Important business will come be-
fore It, and letters of the highest interest
will be submitted. We can have a ruil-
road from Elko in four months. if our
people will only put their shoulders to
the wheel.
CoNsUMMATED.- The sale of the Eber-
hardt and other mines, we are assured
by private and good authority, has been
fully consummated. The English Com
pany who have bought the properties,
will doubtless take possession in a few
days, when we may look for an active
and extensive working Of these first class
mines.
PERSONAL. = Captain Blasdel, the
younger brother of the Governor, is in
town. He goes East in a few days.
