The Goose it did Cook
The contest is over, and the Democrats
OF Rock Isla ed have covered themselves
with glory. A hotter election has never
taken place in this city. We not only con-
teaded against the enemy, but against the
banks and powerful corporations, and
against disafection in our own ranks. In |
the canvass for Mayor, the German vote
went heavily against us. Murdoch pledged !
himself Internationally to the liquor inter
est, aud thus secured powerful support he
corld not Otherwise have monopolised,
And yet we have been enabled to meet al
this discoursgiug array Of opposition forces,
and to wrest from them the substantial
fruits of a complete victory. The SIGHT has
been a memorable one. Eggleston, Cutter,
aud others. made determined effort to dis
integrAle the Democratic party, before our
candidate for MAJ or wss chosen. and In
crushing their faction, We so demoraIlzed
the Repoolicans, that had the election
taken place on Saturday lsst,we woud have
swept every ward in the city. As 1t was,
every effort ives made to disorsanize our
party. aud by the valuable as.istsLce of
