Large Gain i'm the
City Council!

If the Republicans of Portland had made
unusual demonstrations of rejoicing last night
over the result of the election yesterday there
would have been propriety in such action, for
never, perhaps, in the history of our city was
victory won over more unjust and reckless COM
binations than were formed against them by
their enemies. True, the figures of the majority
of Mayor Kingsbury are not startling, but they
possess moral power which greater array
would not have owned had the contest been a
straight one between the two political parties.
The Ogdensburg loan, which can not by any
possibility be affected, in its present position,
by the choice of any set of city officers, was
dragged into into the campaign, as an element
of warfare against the present administration,
and certain Republicans, for reasons which they
cannot satisfactorily explain, lent themselves
to the scheme; the Democrats rung all the
changes of their party war-cres and added the
sheriff-liquor bill to increase the discord. The
campaign was Short, sharp and decisive" and
the Republicans who had expressed their indi-
vidual preferences at the primary meetings and
acquiesced in the decisions of the majority, set
to work with will to sustain the regular NOM
nations. And there was some noble work
dane. They carried the wards which were
theirs last year, and gave their enemy stagger-
ing blows in Nos. 1, 2 and 4, increasing the
number of Republicans in both branches of the
City Council, leaving the Democrats just MEM
bers enough to make an affidavit that their
party existed at all. tits almost clean sweep.
AS for Mr.. Morgan and his boilers, we will only
recall the old story of the bull and the locomo-
tive. We admit their pluck but can't applaud
their judgment

yesterday for Mayor, compared with the vote
