The Teutonicsl Tour Through the
Teutonic Clubs Last Night-How the
Election Returns Were Received
Their Duty Done, They Patiently
Await Results.
In order to ascertain the feeling OF our German
citizens HERALD commissioner was despatched
to visit their various assembling places. Teutonia
Hail. in Third avenue, a usual political headquar-
ters, was only partially filed, and while politics
were but lightly discussed, the phlegmatism Of the
assemblage ana their total Indifference to the
geperal result were apparent. The lager was
quafYed with evident satisfaction, for it made but
little difference TO them who chosen President,
Governor, or Mayor, as long as neither candidate
was an avOwed prOhlbitOnist.
At Schmenger's Hall, 200 Third avenue, there was
little more enthusiasm. This place has been the
headquarters Of the German Reform Association Of
this city. The large hall was well filed and the
events OF the day earnestly canvassed Hopes
were indulged by the majority that Havcmeyer had
carried the day for Mayor and Kessler for Coroner
The only election returns received here were from
Beethoven Half. in Filth street, was deserted
The front OF the house was brilliantly Illuminated
by monster bonfire, which the gdntfas were feed
ing with stolen ash barrels, theatrical bill boards,
dry goods boxes, &c. otherwise there was no one
around who cared fig for the election or election
the Arion Club had only its quota OF gentle
manly members present, who usually congregate
in social manner. Politics had no place either In
their thoughts or the bill Of fare. The very same
may be said OF the popular 'LiederkranZ" the
"Maennercnor," "Harmonie," progress &C.
The liveliest place come across by the HERALD
commissioner among the Teutonic establishments
visited was 'Concordia Hail." in avenue A. At a
very early hour in the evening the establishment
began to fill With an eager mass Of Germans, who,
however, were more anxious to learn OF the returns
from the Assembly district and the Common Coun-
Gil than the Presidency, GOvernorship or judiciary.
Returns were regularly brought there by messen-
gers from the seventeenth precinct station and
accordingly applauded or derided the
names OF candidates were called Havemeyer
seemed to be the leading favOrite, and whenever a
majority in an election district for this nominee
was announced the cheering became deafcning and
the landlords profit from refilling glasses CORE
spOndngly large. Lawrence was the next lavorire,
but O'Brien seemed to be regarded with little
favor. HN
Unlike Tammany Hall OF old, when the night
OF election the redOubtabe Captain Ryndcrs, OF the
Empire Club, used to harangue the audiences on
the results, the TeutOns quietly listen to returns,
but do not care to have any stump. speeches made
to them. They see no occasion for 1t after the
polls have closed, feeling contented in their own
minds that during the day whatever German has
taken advantage or his sovereign right of suffrage
has done so with full knowledge on whom to be-
stow his patronage and at nighl he has neither
fears OF nor regrets the result.

The Defeat OF O'Brien-The Lights Burn

The Defeat OF O'Brfen-The Lights Burn
Blue and the Boys GO Home.
At an early hour In the evening the adherents OF
James O'Brien began to gather together in the
vicinity OF Twenty-eighth street and Broadway.
Every few minutes q carriage would be driven up
70 the door, and some ward politician, descending,
would greet his friends standing on the stoop
with a shake OF the hands and question, "How
are thngs2'' to which the answer came, like an
echo, 'sThings are rough" Up stairs General Fer
rerOO sat watching the scene at the head Of the
vestibule and dense crowds poured in and out to
get the returns. But the returns were few and far
between, and those who were intimate with
James O'Brien wore saddened looks on their faces
Tom Murphy's Custom House republicans had not
kept their promises and the hired and disciplined
republican votes were cast in way that astonshed
Apollo Hall. The hall was filed at an early hour
by an immense mass, who crowded the galleries
and the body Of the hail. A Mr.. Morrison acted as
Chairman, and the bench put on the stage
was filed by tellers, reporters and distinguished
guests. The solid democracy were present. and at
favorable TO James O'Bl1en the trescoes on the
ceiling were almost broken with the cheers from

which were all known to be strongholds
everything seemed blue. The working politicians
who had been all day canvassing at their duties
were aware ut seven O'Clock in the evening that
Mr.. O'Brien was beaten. From the Twentieth
ward returns were read from one or two districts
which seemed favorable to Lawrence, and some few
from the Twenty-frst ward, in which Havemeyer
secured large vote. These figures were greeted
with wild Kisses and groans Then came num-
ber OF veterans from the Nineteenth ward, in
which OBrien had achieved maiorities. These
veterans were hailed with uproarious cheering.
Then came the dispatches from the downtown
wards, and even the dullest man saw at moment
that the cause Of O'3rien was lost for
this term. Then came news that Have
meyer was selling in the pools down town two
TO one against O'Bren. and later that Lawrence
was selling for 500 and the field for $25 After the
sealing OF the returns for hour and half after
this, all the betting men left Apollo Hail. and soon
after the audience dispersed and walked down to
the Fifth Avenue Hotel, where nearly twenty thou
sand persons were assembled.

At this Court yesterday there was not single

cal signatures and talk to two three visitors at
the same time, giving due attention to each sub
ject.
Upon being informed OF the OBJECT OF the report
er's visit Mr.. Ode said he was not aware OF any
causes which had contributed very materially dur
ing the past four or 1--WE months to increase the
cost OF operating railroads. The Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western line had not experienced any
advance In expenditure beyond probably what they
had incurred in the way Of actual investment in
property or equipment for the benefit OF the
siderable quantities Of steel rails; but this
could mot be Soked upon
q thousand tons OF steel rails arrive and are laid
down next month on the road, their cost Is OF
course charged to the disbursement account OF the
line and may make the months expenditures ex-
ceed the total receipts for the month by several
hundred thousand dollars. Still this must not be
looked upon as increasing the operating expenses
OF the road, for In the next month there may be
Improvements made and the earnings would then
largely exceed the disbursements for that
period With reference to the outlay OF rail-
roads for coal he would not say much
for the reason that the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western Company mined all their own coal,
and In this respect they were not so Liable 10 feel
the effects Of an advance as some other OF the rail-
road corporations might have done. He thought,
been experienced by other lines II could not be at
trbuted TO the cost OF COAL for there had been no
advance OF any significance within the past few
months. In iron the advance had really been quite
severe, and he attributed 1t to sudden demand,
which mad made 1t difficut just at present to get
was no actual scarcity OF iron-it was mere In
ability to handle the amount required WITHIN
given time. As consequence rates
OF freight or transportation on iron had gone up
very considerably. To Illustrate; the weli-known
Bufialo firm OF Pratt a Co. had found themselves
last Fall in possession OF large number OF freight
vessels on the lakes, and they entered into num-
ber OF heavy contracts to ship iron from Lake
Superior mines to Bufa0 at fifty cents per ton. In
consequence OF this recent demand for iron rates
for shipping have advanced 80 that So 80 per ton
ia paid ior the same service that Pratt 4 Co. are
doing under their contract at nfty cents. But
this advance Is only temporary. Pratt h Co.
are still fulhning their contract obligations
In good faith and will continue to do SOL
but the erect Of the rapid demand and the increase
Of freight rates. combiTrd with other minor causes
had been the sending UP OF iron from $40 and $75 to
$50 and sos per ton. Here, OF course, the effect o
this advance would come IN by augmenting in
measure on the various railroads the cost OF re-
pairs; but 1t was not Vt all probable that 1t could
have any material influence on the general
monthly or yearly expenses OF running road and
he thought that at the end Of the year, when the
various companies come to make up their books,

THE POST OFFICE.
IT'S ALTERATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS.

| mat our Post Office needed improvement and
enlargement has long been an acknowledged fact
the public therefore will hail the alterations now
in course of completion with agreeable satisfac-
tlon. The operations OF the Post Office Depart
ment in Kenosha have materially increased of late
and it was deemed necessary to enlarge the Dor
oefs OF the old Office. Accordingly Mr.. Lyman
was applied to, and an addition from his estab-
lishment was added to the Post Office depart
ment. Our energetic and systematic Postmaster,
Captain Charles Frantz, ever alive to all ard ev-
erything which promotes the welfare of the city
determined upon making such changes as would
be commensurate with the present and .antic ipa-
ted future OF Kenosha. The interior of the office
has been materially altered The box front has
been placed in front, extending right across the
length of the Office with the exception Of space
on The left hand side you enter, which has been
ntted up with 124 Patent Yale lock boxes, spec
laIy ordered from the factory in Connecticut
There are also several Yale drawers suitable for
newspaper Offices and others having an extensive
correspondence. Each of these boxes and draw
ers are provided with key, and can be rented for
mere tribe. The forethought Of Capt. Frantz

ed and when completed Kenosha, can boast of as
neat, substantial and we'll appointed Post Office
as can be fonnd in any city of larger size in
the Northwest. But as it is inv ariably desirable
to render credit where it is DUE we must not omit
while abiding to the energy and in crest display
ed by our worthy Postmaster, to notice the cour
tesy and business capacity manifested by his as
sistants Mr.. Alfred Curtis and Mr.. Hiram Wiltse.
Both of these gentlemen are entitled to the thanks
Of the community for the quiet, orderly and gen.
tlemanly manners in which they attend to and
perform their responsible duties. 1t is but JUS
tice to acknowledge the pride which all connected
" tn this Office evince in desire to further the
Welfare Of the public. By the alterations effected

creased convenience will be ensured by the addi-
tional space secured, the new capacious distri-
butpr provid ed and all the other fixtures designed
to subserye the general good Capt. Frantz has
our congratulations upon the change he has effec-
ted which we, in common with the rest Of our
citizens shall not fail to appreciate and commend.
