FRIDAY, MAY II. 1875.

PARTY ORGANIZATION.--AS Will be seen Dy
reference 10 another column in to-day Gazette
a meeting was held, last night. tor the pur-
pose Of making arraugcm ,nts for the approach
ing Conservative primary election. 1t is to be
hoped that the county committee will adopt,
and rgdly enforce, strict party hues; accept the
names of no candidates for municipal office
after the appointed time; allow upon the list
of candidates the name of 20 one who will not
agree to support the entire Conservative ticket
that may be nominated, and make the same
agreement on the part OF the voters, pre-
requisite to participation IN the election. Alex
andria has, ligitimately, pronounced Couser-
yatiye majority, and is known throughout the
State as Conservative city, and We cannot
believe that DOW, just preceding presidential
contest, and one in which for the first time 10
sixteen years there is probability OF the cleo
ton of a Democratic president, the ConserVa'
tive voters of the city will do anything that will
at all initiate against so desirable result: and
that the election of "iudependents" will mill
tate against that result there can be no duubt,
when it is recollected that every defeat OF the
Conservatives, no matter how small the town
or county in which it may occur, is heralded,
from one extremity Of the country to the other
for the s,le purpose of dampening the hopes OF
the Conservatives and elevating those of the
friends of the present corrupt administration,
and those who wish to see that administration,
or one similar to it, remain 10 control of the
government. The Conservatives of Alexandria
are good and true men, and though they may
differ as to the advisability of adopting char
ter which nobody understands, there are not
macy of them we feel assured, who will allow
themselves to be made tools Of by office seek.
ers to break up their party organizations, by
preserving which, 10 city, State and nation
We can alone hope for successful presidential
campaign, and the safe dsliverence OF the coun,
try from the evil hands into which ii has fallen.
When the Conservatives consider that to dis
rupt the party now will be to weaken It's
strength next Nov.mber, when every vote will
be required, few will be found who will allow
their personal preferences, or their dislike for
those who have advocated ideas antagonistio
to their own, to induce them to desert their
coors and 60 over to the enemy.

a new arrangement has gone into effect on
tho Lake shorc T. Michigan Southern Kallroud
In the running Of locomotives. Under tho old
system, says the Adrian Frxss, q locomotive
would bo fired up at Elkhnrt and run to Chicago
or Toledo, and then 60 into the round-house, be
allowed to cool oil, md was thoroughly cleaned
md wiped. But under the new arrangement
locomotive Is fired up at Elkhart, is run to Chi
cago, wherc n.luther engineer takea her and
again and she runs 10 Toledo, ant unothcr esl-
ElnGer takes her aud runs back to Elk
hart. Thus the engine makes the round
trip with fur engineers, without
cooling oi1. Snpt. Curtis informs Us that it
requires Ill eighth Of q cord Of wood to grt up
stenm IN locomotive, and by tho old system,
where four were required to make the round
trip, 0nc-hatf curtl Of wood was consumed iu
getting up etcatn, wlilo with tue new system
only puc-eighth will be used, mud the sa,,le
a,nllunt Of work will be doru Aud there will
ho another large saving in tho Item OF wtplng.
It costs about $l.25 to clean locomotive,
as thcy aEe always wiped when they Ko
into tho roiMa-touse, md with 100
between Chicago unl Toledo to be kept III
ortlcr, tllo saving will bo large amount In
year, rs Wt,cro locomotive WAS wiped four
timcs bsforc shc will only bo wiped once now.
Rlncs, and have run md BECOME identified with
tlletn, but the ncw system Will do away with
this, und will test tho capacity Of thu runners
to q great extent. Altogether tho change
seems to be practical one, aud largely Iu
favor of economy antl retTenchment, which now
seefna to hu tho order OF tho day In al kinds Of
business us well aa politics.
