THE CRY ELrcrIoN.- IFe have met

THE CITY ELEcTIoN.-lFe have met
the enemy and got away with 'em-in
porcine quadruped's optical organ!-
That is to say, we have been "scooped
up,n with slight exception. The Re-
publicans elect the Mayor, Recorder,
Marshal, Treasurer, and six Council
men. while the Democrats elect the
remaining two Councilmen. The sue
cessful candidates are as follews =
Mayor, Coll. Vancleve; Recor Ter, Jos.
Harmon; MARSHAL, Theo. Cartwright;
Treasurer, G. F. Settlemier; Council
men, r. Saltmarsh, d. NJ. Jones, Luz
ther Elkins, Chas. Mealey, p. C.. Har-
per, and a. c. Jones. The two last
named are Democrats. The vote stood
as follows:
For Aayor-Coll. Vancleve, 1874; NJ.
V. Brown, 1873. Vancleve's majority, l.
For Rccorc!er-Joseph Harmon, 1877;
J. r. Herren, 1872. lannon's major

For Mdrshdl-Theo. Cartwright, 16l;
JAS NJ Merriek, 10i. Cartwright's
majority, 81.
For Tre1surer-G. F. Settlemier, 152;

all Republicans. John Parker 134,
L. Kline III c. Westlake 1I6, p. C.
Harper IA, T. L. Golden 127, \. C.
Jones 135-all Democrats. Whole
number of votes polled 269. Average
Republican vote 145; average Demo-
cratic vote l2i; average Republican
majority 21. In view of the substan-
tial majority of our opponents oar
party certainly has cause for cOngratu
lation in the fact of our election of two
officers, and pressing the enemy SO
closely in other instances.
The fact that quite a number of
Democrats failed to vote is much TO he
deplo-ed, as by such neglect the enemy
have co-rallea at least two f;ices
which would otherwise have been won
by Democrats. The Importance of q
vote is demonstrated in the fact that
the Republican candidate for Mayor
was only elected by one majority. The
Importance of the '.colored' vote is
also illustrated in this instance, as the
one majority for Vancieve was given
by sable individual of African scent.
Well, the officers elected are gener-
ally live, energetic and competent
the city and TO the party which elect
cd them. They all have our personal
congratulations; politically all save
two of them may go to thunder!

Brownsville factory Is to be brought to
Albany and converted into use in an
extensive WOODEN mill; and there is
still another report current that the
late burnt oHt Oregon City Mills will
be rebuilt at this place. We only give
these reports as matters OF public in
terest, and do not vo9ch for the cor

come.
