RESULT OF THE ELECTION,
} ST. LouB, August 2s.-Fuller return.
OF the election yesterday show that while
the city gives the scheme and charter /
majority Of about 1000 the county vii
probably defeat the scheme by som'
5000. The whole proposition will there
fore fail by about 1000 majority agains
it.
SCHEME DEFEATED.
The official majority. for the new city
charter Is 500, but as the scheme for thI
separation Of the city from the county
was defeated by 1,46l the majority yot'
for the charter stands for nothing. It il
stated, however, that the vote in three oi
four city precincts, which seems TO have
been grossly fraudulent, will be investi'
gated, il so, il may possibly prove that
the scheme carried.

B. Plat Carpenter, from the Commit
tee on Resolutions, reported, affirm
ing the principles declared in the
resolutions Of the National Republican
Convention Of June 14th, 1876, and set
forth in the letters Of acceptance Of r. B.
Hayes and W. A. Wheeler, our candi.
dates for President and Vice President. |
The resolutions especially approve the
manly and unequivocal declaration upon
the. subject OF civil service reform
OF our present candidate and accept it as
the platform OF the Republican party;
reaffirm the equal rights OF all and the
duty Of the government 10 secure them
to every citizen; the duty to maintain
the public faith in favor Of speedy re-
sumpsion OF specie payments; denounce
the action OF the Democratic House Of
Representative in repeating the date for
resumption as an act OF repudiation and
disloyalty and an open violation OF the
section OF the 18th amendment OF the
Constitution OF the United States which
provides that the validity Of the public
debt authorised by law shall not he
questioned. As conclusive. evidence OF
DEMOCRATIC DuPL1crTY,
We point to the fact that the executive OF
this State, while signing law establish
ing specie payments in New York, and
requiring all taxes to be paid in gold on
and after January !, 1879, joins with bis
party, as its Presidential candidate, in
repudiating the pledge OF specie payment
throughout the country at the same date,
thus compelling the people Of New York
to pay in gold, and at the same time de-
nying them the means to doit.
The resolutions also denounce the
Democratic Congress as false on the cur
rency question, on the question Of the
safety Of the public schools, and on civil
reform, and for the removal OF Union
Soldiers
AND PLACING CoNFEDERArEs
in their stead; challenge as untrue the
claim Of credit to the Democratic ad-
ministration for a reduction Of taxation,
because the Republican, administration |
largely reduced the public debt, while |
the present State administration has re- |
duced it but slightly, and finally recog-
nizes the patriotism and public services Of
President Grant. t'rt .ns-
The resolutions were unanimously
adopted and the nomination OF a candi- |
date for Governor proceeded with. T..
