The Election.

The Municipal election came of nc
cording to the programme on last
Thursday, and resulted IN the elee
ton Of an entire Democratic ticket
although on of the members Of the
/ Council elected was not on the regu-
lar Democratic ticket, bat was on
what was called the Citizens ticket.
The election excited very little en-
thusiasm, and the aggregate vote was
nearly one hundred less than it was
last year.
The policy pursued by our Ropub-
lican friends in this election was
such as can hardly result in any good
to themselves although it might Ill
vide temporarily the Democratic par
/. "
/ The Democrats held q nominating
convention; some - gentlemen were
put in nomination for Council of
which the FIVE highest were placed
'on the ticket. The old Council hav-
ing conducted the affairs of the city
satisfactorily, and they being in NOM
nation, very naturally they were
highest on the list and were made
the candidates.
As Ia always the case, some Of the
defeated candidates were dissatisfied,
and in connection with the Rspub-
licaus agreed to nominate a ticket
composed of part Republicans and
part Democrats to try aud defeat the
regular ticket The Republicans
called meeting which was said to
be a Citizens meeting, irrespective Of
party. When themeeting took place,
twas observed that it was called to
order by one OF the most prominent
Republicans in town, the Pr6sl ent
and Secretaries. were all Republic
ans.
The business of the meeting was
carried on in such Il way that it
bound no one at all. Any one who
. pleased could have acted, voted or
taken any other part in that meet
ING. and We: not been bound by its
action.
o. G.. Chase, W. I. Wallace and
four others, were appointed Com
mittee to nominate a ticket they re
ported as follows:
For Mayor. Vim. Sands. Recor
der. J. II. Obey. Councilmcn, N.
+ Conley, Z Ensign, B. W. Foster, /.
/ DooHttle, J. W. Mccullough.
That ticket was voted on in the
meeting and adopted as the Citizens
ticket. That was on Monday even
inc. There was no committee ap-
pointed to represent that meeting,
and M ono Vas authorized 10 act for
it, BY any action tsFen on that even
ing.
/ On Tuesday evening, we hear that
some committee protesting to act tor
the Citizens Meeting met, and threw
overheard the candidate for Mayor,
nominating Mr. E. L. Green, IA very
worthy citizen, but thorough Repub

were nominated at the Citizens
meeting.
/ One OF the arguments used against
the Democratic ticket, wIs that it
was ring ticket, but it was adopted
by one Of the largest town meetings
I ever held in the city. BY whom was
the Citizens ticket adopted? Was
it not by a ring composed Of four or
five persons who are not responsible

This ticket was promulgated by a
handbill on the night before the

New York Dry Goods Market

There was continued activity in
the market during the past week
and really brisk movement occur
red In fancy and shifting prints,
which enabled the agents 10 affect
very heavy sales OF these goods.
Wollen goods were quiet as il rule,
owing TO the cold weather which,
prevailed, but the numerous job
bers in the market operated more
freely in worsted and cotton dress
goods, cottonades, ginghams. no
siery and worsted shaWls, and the
volume of business during the
week was large and indicative OF
successful spring trade. The mar
ket for cotton goods was active
and strong throughout the week,
while the supply Of many leading
makes of brown and hleached COT
tons are insufficient to meet the
demand. Prices ruled emphatical-
~ firm at the recent advance, and
agents, although willing To close
out such goods as they have on
hand, are indisposed to make con-
tracts for future delivery except at
value
