The nominations. except for Mayor, appear to
give general satisfaction to the Democracy, but
in reference to that candidate there is a differ
ence of opinion. The idea still prevails to some
extent that Squire oNeill was counted out, but
aside from all this, it is argued that the Squire
was the best man in the field and was only struck
down on account of the church to which he be-
longs. In consequence of this there are many
catholics who are not backward in declaring that
thoy will vote for Mr.. Nalon-.ne, tho Republican
nominee. Tho Whitley men say that this is
only a blast of wind which will all blow over by
election day, at which time they will be found
working together at the polls as at other tmeR.

WILLIAM u. wHIrELEY NOMINATED FOR MAYOR
| DIsBATIeFAcTIoN OF THE oNETIL MEN-A LARGE
VOTE PoLLED-IsCIDESTs.
| The commencement Of the Democratic nonina-
ton for Mayor on Saturday was 30 fully reported
| in the COMMERCIAL Of that day that it need not
be reiterated. After the disturbance in the early
part OF the afternoon, quiet for some time reign
| ed, but il was evident the O'Neill men were
| leading. Notwithstanding the efforts Of the
| more prudent adherents Of the friends of the
leading candidates, occasionally little Incident
would occnr to show the rancorous feeling which
required great effort to keep down.
Reflections on either the Protestants or Gath
olics were the order of the afternoon. An Amer
ican citizen who came up to deposit his vote had
it objected to,and stalwart celt walked him out
of the crowd with the admonition that he was ia
| id American" and that this was mot his vo-
| ting place." The ateness OF the hour at which
the polls closed gave everybody Glance to vote
who wanted to exercise that prerogative and 1t
is alleged by Mr.. Whitelys friends that the
O'Neill men, taking advantage of the darkness,
voted repeaters and also voted the Catholics
from Duponts and Christiaaa Hundred.
When the polls closed the O'Neill men were
confident and the others Respondent, but hope
fnl. The judges and clerks started to occupy
the Mayors office for the purpose of counting
Off the vote, bnt finding that place in filthy
condition from its occupancy by disabled White
ly men who had been shot with long necked bot
Hayes, clerk of the City Council, allowed to oc-
cupy his office.
About midnight it WAS ascertained, much to
the joy of the one party and to the chagrln and
amazement of O'Neill's friends, that Col. White
ley was nominated. About this time some i'm
pndent person from the room whore the count
was going on threw slip of paper to the excl
ted crowd in front of the City Hall, stating that
O'Neil was defrauded aud purposely counted
out. A yell and rush was made for the room
above with the intention of clearing out ''the
whole thing. but by the time the head of the
stairs WAS reached, wiser counsels prevailed.
The count was finished near three O'Clock on
Sunday morning, and when it was announced
that Col. Whiteley WAS the nominee some faint
hurrahs were given by isolated individuals,
while three rouang cheers were proposed and
given for Joshua S. Valentine, the Republican
candidate Long after the announcement WAS
made little knots of Democrats here and there
would indulge in cheers for Mr.. Valentine.
The following is the vote as announced by the
judges. Whole number OF woes cast, 2o69.

PAsIonAL REsIdNATIoN. learn with Sill
cere regret that tho Rev. Alex. Macarthur has
Just rendered his resignation to the Second Bap-
list church. Coming to our city about q year
and q half ago, with many testimonials OF conf
menIation, and having received hearty and
unanimous call from the church, it was hoped
that his stay would be much moro protracted
than il has subsequently proved. Mr.. MacAr-
thur has filled several positions of usefulness
heretofore, and his absence from the city will
not only deprive the people of an excellent pas
tor but also the clergy of genial companion
aud staunch defender of the faith. Mr.. Mac
Arthur has ondeared himself to many hearts and
homes in the city by his cordial address, large
hcarte,lness and christian zeal. He will go from
this city CARRYING with him the attachments of a
large number of personal friends who will be in-
teleeted III his movements and wish him SUCCESS
wherever IN tho Providence of God he is called
