man of that town, the other day, packing and
mailing up boxes of goods for Chicago; and the

laid off his hat while he nailed the boxes, and

The Ellsworth Election.

The American replies to the comments
made by this paper upon the recent cleo
ton in Ellsworth. The only point bear
ING upon the case which it makes is the
following
The City Hall has not been ALWAYS used as
the polling place since the adoption OF the City
Charter. Only once before has any election Of
Ward ! been held i'll the City Hall. And this
year the Ward Clerk and some voters went to
the usual place of holding the ward elections,
thinking of course the meeting was called there.
Accepting the statement that only once
before had the polling place been outside
the ward bounds although our informa-
ton is to the contrary-the force Of the
charge which we made is by no means
lost. Did the American and its friends
then warn the people of the Illegal pro-
ceedng? And if no., why not ? Isn't it
Just possible that they knew that the re-
lection of the vote of. Ward one would
have defeated their representative las
year, and that they acquiesced in the ille
gality? The fact is plainly to be seen
that they have protited by its repetition
this year. Like some mountain farmers
whose hlly grounds are cultivated on OPP
posite slopes. they have gathered crops
from both sides of the City Hall decep-
ton. Such ingenuity Of device, such
adaptation of means to the end, and close
outstanding of resources, are rarely to be
met with. They combine the cunning Of
Talleyrand with the ingenuity of Fouche.
May heaven save us from being tangled
in any of their webs But when Grant
becomes Emperor, and finds it necessary
to have a record of all the people, with
personal descriptions and daily reports of
their habits and pursuits, if he knows
himself, he will reach down to Ellsworth,
pluck the Collector from his seat, and put
him at the head of the secret police
bureau
We understand, in connection with this
matter, that we We're in error in saying
that all the Democratic candidates are de-
feated by throwing ont ward one. The
sheriff, commissioner and senator are
elected by $50 majority, without the con-
tested ward. But Mr.. Murch, for Clerk
Of Courts, is defeated by IS votes, in con-
sequence of tho rejected votes-if we are
correctly informed.

CHICAGO RAILWAY REvIEw.-One of the
most welcome and useful journals on our

accurately records each discovery and in
