from deficient public supply for domestic
use or property protection.
6 In an unequal distribution of official
patronage, labor. mechanical contracts and
street improvements; paving and cleaning
streets in some wards while others haVe re-
ceived no such care for years past; flushing
the cutters and laying the dust in some
places with . pr0fusiOn of public water
while thousands want enough to quench
thirst or cook their victuals in other parts
of the city.
This partial policy gives to sons wards
having influence with the administrators an
undue proportion Of protection and patron
age, while other quarters, not 80 fortunate,
are left to privation and ruin. In view,
therefore, of these facts, your committee
have determined to recommend to your
honorable body the adoption of the follow.
ing resolutions:
RSsolred, That the Republican party. al
ways the advocates Of equality, touched
with the sufferings of the poor, in which Re-
publicans participate, moved with the COM
plaints of property holders, merchants and
mechanics, who pay nearly twice rs much
in taxation for the administration of the
city ~ they do for the government of the
State, deem it duty to unite in common
reprObation Of misrule and incompetency,
and in common effort to arrest and reform
both these evils. The Republican party OF
the State and city have ever regarded it as
Q moral obligation to abate the rigor OF
party will in the presence of public ca
lamity which presents no evidence OF miti
CATION. They will, therefore, address their
Efforts to redeem the city and relieve the
people.

A Fatal Array at Austin.
AUSTIN. Aug. s, Il

AUSTIN, Aug. s, 1876.
About 8 O'Clock last evening, fatal
stsbbing and shooting affray occurred
on Cedar street, between w. j. Kelly
late Night Wachman of this city, and a
woman named Adelia Davis, in which
Kelly was stabbed through the heart,
and almost instantly killed, and wo
man shot through the thigh. The
origin of the tragedy seems to have os-
CARED on the race track yesterday.
1t seems that Adelia Davis aud Moile
Cotton had qnarreled. which ended in
q rough and tumble fight, and that
Kelly separated the combatants. After
the race the PARTY returned to the city, at
the time stated above, pistol shot was
heard in the direction of Cedar street
A crowd arriving in front of Ralph
Woodwnrd's saloon, found Kelly
on the ground in pool Of
blood. Upon investigation it was
aacertsined he had been stabbed
through the heart, and died in few
minutes. The woman claims to have
been shot by Kelly. She ran into
Woodwards saloon, where she remained
until after examination of her wound
Was made, and WAS subsequently, taken
to her residence.

Democrats will have majority of
over eighty on joint ballot in The Legis-

tor Morton, of Indiana, the champion OF
the outrage brigade, in a speech de-
livered in the United States Senate as
sured the country that Alabama would
go Republican by large majority. and
that it was as safe for Hayes as Ohio.
Had there been violence and intimida-
ton at the polls, the Senator might at
tribute his mistake as to its being
Republican to that source. though as re-
CARDS Ohio he probably spoke the truth
I. is now generally conceded hat Tilden
will carry Alabama, which gave Grant
aearly 1000 majority. by ut least
10000. and that Ohio and Indiana will
cast their electoral vote for Tilden and
Hendricks. Thus the reform column
moves along. gathering strength and

An Absorbing Feature OF the Cam.
Paign.

The following extract from speech
delivered by A. G. Ellis at the ralitica-
ton meeting IN Ormsby county, and
reported i'll the Virginia Chronicle,
shows the position of the Republican
aud Democratic parties on the silv, r
question:
On this question hangs the very ex
istencs of the masses. and tue Demo
cratic party is the only party that has
championed the interests Of the laasse
in this direction. The Republican
party is the enemy of the masses the
slave of the money changers and bond
holders of the country. On this silver
question | warn You. Notwithstanding
the proper stand taken by Jones and
one or two others upon it, TO beware
of placing your desiinies in the hands
of the Republicans. Our existence
depends upon proper solution of that
question. aud though Jones and the
Democratic party are with you, the
Republican party is against you.
