. We were disturbed from our editorial
iAbos at about half past ten O'Clock
'asst night, by an ungodly noise, which,
upon inspection, proved to come from a
PROCESSION OF Republican darkies, prin-
s0pally composed of Third Ward men,
who carried Dibble whisky and the
'Dibblc banner with as much enthusi-
asm "a II they were going to vote for
him. Some OF the transparencies were
quite remarkable for the science dis
played 10 their photography. One Of
+them, as far as we can remember, was
IN favor Of good government; an
other advocated "for Education Brown
fsic); another .for President and Vice,
Hayes and Wheeler" and, take it all in
all, IL was fine turn out, full OF fun
and whisky, and likely to advance, as
FAR as 1t deserves, the interests of the
1'arty who sacrificed the nickels to that
demonstration.

The st. Louis Republican complains
fof the duplex and complex governments
( which the great Western rival of Chicago
Is compelled to maintain. There is
Rrst. the regular city government,
represented by the Mayor, Council and
various municipal officers, and next. the
county government, which has seven
Judges. clerk with deputies, an auditor
with deputies, and marshal with depu-
tlea, and disburses over a million per
snnum. This dual government is pro-
bounced not only too cumbrous, but
altogether too costly
'sNBdo not know the full expense OF
running this double barreled machine
~. particularly the municipal branch
thereof. but are inclined to think that
II st. Louis had the cue for complaint
that New Orleans has, her wall would
be infinitely louder. Besides our NUM-
cipai and parish governmental machine
~, the Radical State government has
Devised half a dozen State boards, more
or less, among which the Metropolitan
rotio4, Board stands first; and ali these,
IKE vampires, are sucking out the life
flood OF our taxpaying tcorporators.
There Is no question about the .suffi-
cheney % ecr caus es OF complaint but
w1As 36st now looking hopefully for
ward for relief after the next election.
