The City Election.
The Republicans Victorious, as Usua


The city election yesterday was an exceed
ingy quiet one, there being no contest on the
general ticket, and but little interest excited
on the ward tickets. The democrats were
quite active in some of the wards, but the
republicans whipped them out without very
great effort. The rum element rallied to
carry one or two wards, but were un-
successful. Without any authority, our OPP
ponents used the name Of Col. Lambard, in
connection with the candidacy for Mayor, in
the 'citizens" movement, but that gentleman
declining, as those at the caucus knew he
would, a bakers dozen of democrats on Sat-
urdsy evening or Sunday, brought out the
name of William s. Badger. As Mr. Badger
is a very popular gentleman, one of the pub
fishers of the Maine Farmer, this was con.
sidered purely an agricultural movement, al
though there was but very little blowing done
for the candidate.
The republicans have elected every candi-
date on their ticket by good majorities, SO
that the city council will stand as last year
clean republican board. We find on the
opposition ticket the names of several repub-
Leans, used without their knowledge or con-
sent.
We give below the figures, showing the re-
suit in this city:

Gen. TiltOn Resigns.

We regret to learn that Gen. w. S. Tilton

recently unanimously elected, as member of
the Board of Trustees of the Maine State Ag
ricultural Society. He recently attended a
meeting of the Trustees. and gave his views
at length, and very plainly, on the affairs of
the society. We know that he has good rea-
sons for sending in his resignation, although
it is much to be regretted, as the General is
largely engaged in stock breeding, and would
make most valuable member of the board.
But his resignation is unconditional, as will
be seen by the following official notification
to the President of the Society:

Arabian Milk Cure and Tonic. During
DR.. S. ID. Howe's recent visit to this city he
was waited upon by seven hundred and twen-
ty patients, and now it is stated on authority
that there are one thousand persons in the city
of Boston using, with great benefit, the won
derful compounds DR.. Howe has invented. A
full supply of the Arabian Milk Cure and
Tonic is at the drug stores, where those who
need it can procure it. 1t is hoped that DR..
Howe will soon return, so that the patients
unable to see him while at the fremont house
can do so at another time. The Arabian Milk
Cure and Tonic certainly possess great virtue
and is taken with perceptible good effects at
one. The doctors examinations were thor
ough and satisfactory, as we learn from sew
eral of our leading citizens, both ladies and
gentlemen, who passed through the doctor S
scrutiny. He left, carrying with him the con-
fidence of our citizens generally who visited
him. DR.. Howe can be seen for the next four
days at the fremont House, parlors l4t and
145, entrance No. 1, fremont place.
Dir. Howe, the proprietor of the above, is
to-day receiving calls and giving free cxami-
nations at the Hallowell House, in Hallowell
and on Thursday, Friday and Saturday will
