ELECTIONS Ns-ConDecticut, contrary to
the predictions of old Greeley and the
New York World, has followed in the wake
Of New Hampshire and elected the straight
Republican State ticket led by Jewell, over
the three opposition tick cts, two of which
were got up by soreheads to lead off Re-
publican voters The result shows that
the influence of Greeley. Schurz and
Sumner amounts to the same in Connect.
cnt that it dres in New Hampshire, to- w.t
900. Local elections held in Iowa on the
End show large Republican gains.
A dispatch from Cincinnati on the 2nd
says that at the municipal election yester
day, the entire Democratic ticket was elec-
ted by 1000. The Council will stand 2f
Democrats and % Republicans; the Board
of Aldermen, Is epublicans and 9 Demo
Gratis. The Board OF Control is wholly
Democratic The press unite in saying
that this election cannot be claimed as :
partisan victory, but that it is simply al
expression of popular disgust with the mis-
management of city affairs The Enquirer
however, claims it as verdict against the
Administration.

a
RAILROAD I'VE, IN common with many
Others, beliefe that the main line of the
railroad sdn be built through Shasta with
out little more expense than it will take to
build it along the river This talk about
the great difficulty of running the line
through town is all moonshine, and the ab-
surdity of such gabblc is shown by what
the Company has done 10 hundreds of in
stances in the way of overcoming much
greater elevations and successfully coutend-
ing with engineering difficulties of far
greater magnitude than any to be encounter
ed here. Depend upon it, the Company
can and VIII run their main inc 70 rhc town
if they have the least inclination or desire
to do so and the engineering difficulties"
We hear about will not tand in Their way
if they really want + c me here 1t wonld
certainly be grand thing for Shasta If the
Company should couclid de, or can be in
duced To decide in favor OF Daking a sligth
detour from their old survey some miles
below here, and swing their main track to
the town. And in view of the fact that
such thing can be done, if the Company
is disposed TO do it, it seems to us that our
citizens should use every endeavor to in
duce them to determine in favor of coming
here, and that we should all pull together
on that line.
