given satisfactory results to the party, ex-
eep, as 70 the Councilman from the
Third Ward In that wand it is charged
thai the polls seem to hare beenintrusted
70 unworthy hands and that they do nos
show a truthful ballot.
The vote throughout the city is quite
large; but not 80 large as one would have
supposed it would be, since the polls
were nearer the residences Of The voters
than in previous nomination elections,
when ali the votes were cast at the one
poll at the City Hall.
With reference 70 the city Offices the
vote is decisive. The majority for Vim.
Bright for President Of The City Council,
over Peter n. Brennan, ESQ.,, being 627;
and thai for Vim. J. Morrow, Esq, tor
City Treasurer, 2+s over John e. Cole,
Esl.
N. Bright is 50 well known TO cur /
'ih ems that We are called upon 10 say
hut LILLE with reference 70 him. He has
lad experience as President Of the Cityl
Coz ell, having filed the Office before,
heing chosen both times by handsome
majorities. He is more competeu, now
than he was then 50 far as parliamentary
usages are concerned. and viii, therefore, |
should be be elected, give greater salts
faction TO b. friends. His personal
enemies Of be has any win no; be salts
led and will continue 10 Gas; s!urs a,
him, for the misfortune Of having been
born poor boy in the country, in the
earlier days, when there were 10 public
schools in which TO get a good education
for nothing.
Another unworthy objection is that he
is a mechanic and not able TO use his
mother tongue without numbering the
Kings English; and should have stuck TO
his trade. Well, We hope some Of these
complaining gentlemen, especially of the
press, will remember that their education
was paid for by such poor tradesmen,
(but active loyal citlzens,) as William
Bright, whose contributions to the public
schools in the shape of tax has been for
some years something less than $50 a
month and his contributiont 70 the general
tax over one hundred dollars month
He gave very general satisfaction the
last term Of which be was President Of
the City Council; and was pressed into
the nomination for third term, when
be objected being made candidate. On
the present occasion he is again pressed
into the breach. He did not seek the
Once, nor has he. so far as we know, been
consulted.

honorable positions, as they have don
some Of their own members Of the Ci.

so valuable 10 the cause Of an economics

For this reason chiefly aud that our ez
pend.tures may be reduced as low as DO.
sible, we hope Mr.. Bright may be cleo

We may say here with reference :
Mr. Brennan that it was not general
known that he was a candidate in som
of the wards for nomination. Had
been brought out earlier it is very like
there would have been no other caud
date for the position. So far as NJ
Brigh: was concerned he did not kno
that any one was opposing him until a
ter the election had closed. for, We thin
he has not been in the city for more tbs
week.
Mr. VIM. J. Morrow, the Denocra,
candidate for City Treasurer, is a gray
roofer. He is well known in this q,
and has been the secretary Of sevel
building loan associations, is a good I
countant, and fully competent to fill /
Office. He has long been az active me
