a correspondent of the New York
Times, in predicting a second term for
Grant, gives the following fair summary
of the present administration Grant
has tried TO do what is right. He has
kept the peace; he has paid the debt; he
has collected the revenue; he has shun-
ned alluring quarrels; he has not anger
ed the country hy distracting disserta-
tions on the Constitution; he has been
rich in saving common sense; and al
though he has disappointed alderman
and ward politicians, and he shoo-fly
statesmen who would own him-the
people who plow and weave and dig,
and who have no interest beyond their
crops and yarn believe in Grant. 1t is
IA great thing to know we have a man
who means to do what is right, and once
we have him We are going TO sustain
him."

ST. CLAIRSvILLEC ECORP0RATION.-O
year ago the people of this corporation
elected DR.. II. West Mayor. At the
same time they elected some of the best
citizens ofthe town as councilmen. That
council, on the petition of nearly every
man and woman within the limits of
the corporation who was not engaged
directly or indirectly in the liquor busi-
ness, passed an ordinance prohibiting
ale and beer shops within the limits of
the town. The Mayor has faithfully ell
forced that ordinance, as well as all
others intended to preserve the peace
and order of the town, and our citizens
know we have had better order and less
drunkenness than many previous year.
How these ordinances have been enfor-
ced and this good order secured can be
easily inferred when we state the single
fact that during the past year the May
or has assessed fines for violations of these
ordinance amounting to S464, of which
S322 have actually been collected, while
in the preceding IA years only S64
were collected. He has raised the mon
ey necessary to put down a number OF
crossings and nearly double the num-
ber of street lamps, by fining the viola
tors of ordinances, instead of collecting
il off the taxpayers. The town council
has endorsed and sustained the Mayor
in his efforts to put down the liquor
business and keep order on our streets.
1t has also managed the finances of the
town so as to have surplus in the Treas
ury of over 5000, without expressing the
taxpayers.
Certain men calling themselves Demo-
Gratis, determined to sustain the saloon
keepers and whisky sellers, desire to Sc
cure the defeat of that council, although
every man in it is a Democrat. They
make the issue squarely and have left
off of their so-called Democratic ticket
every member of the council who voted
for the antibeer-shop ordinance, or who
the Mayor in his efforts to en-
force it. The whisky element is thus
against the temperance element,
the rowdies against the friends of law
and order, and it remains to be seen
this combination is to sue
,eed in destroying all that has been done
during the past year end reinstate tn e
reign of whisky and rowdyism. The
friends of good order have renominated
the old officers. They have proven ef-
icient and if the people of st. Clairs-
vile have any regard for the quiet, good
order, well-being and prosperity of the
town they will re-elect them. There is
no politics IN this election. 1t is SIM
pie contest between law, order, temper
ance and good government, and rowdy-
SIN and whisky. Is there an honest
man within the limits of the corpora
ion who will refuse under these circum-
stances to support Mayor West and the
Did council on the citizens ticket? We
believe not.
