but if such be the case, let us hope that the
postponement is only temporary, and that be-

Nothing is more natural than that ity go Ca

We oil know how greatly the solemnity of
divine service has been marred of late years
by the introduction of light, frivolous ard in
appropriate music; and if the efforts of the St.
Cecilia Society should result in restoring to
| our Churches the grand, solemn, maj jestio and
beautiful chants adapt ed to the ritual, we may
then expect to find the churches filed with
people of refined taste-without regard to
oreed-who know how to appreciate the "right

The Citizens Conservative Association,
through a committee consisting of Messrs. j.
Aldige, C. G. johnson, j. Hassin ger, F. Lange,

last Tuesday presented q statement to Gov.
Nichols with reference to the recent election,
in which they soy
The denial of proper representation to the
Citizens Association placed the management
and manipulation of the election entirely in
the hands of those politicians who control the
primaries. Thus conducted the election could
not prove other than the result has shown it to
be-a travesty upon fairness and a mockery of
justice. With scarcely o pretense at conceal
ment, unsan ctioned by any form of law, wrongs
have been committed. and the boldast frauds
perpetrated by the officers at many of the polls
In the following particulars
!. In excluding from the polls citizens legal
ly entitled to vote, land registered IS the law
requires.
.. In knowingly permitting and conniving al
the voting of men under assumed names and. ..
upon false registration certificates.
3. In receiving ballots cast upon papers of
persons Dotorously absent from the city.
a. In excluding from the polling booths citi-
zens who claimed the right guaranteed them
by the law, Of witnessing proper count and
compilation of the votes as cast.
5 In falsely changing votes cast and the
substitution of others,
6. 10 counting for candidates votes cast for
their opponents.
These charges are based upon afidavts made
volun tarly by numerous citizens and which
will be duly produced to the proper trbu-
nails.
The people are uneasy and dissatisfied. They
feel that justice has been outraged and wrong
committed which threatens the purity and san |
City of the ballet. These illegal acts, 80 much
calculated to bring reprosch upon the first
popular administration Vouohssied to us after |
so many years of misrule. are the more heinous, |
because the perpetrators claim to be acting in
the name of the great party of the people, the |
Democratic party, which hes more devoted |
adherents than those who compose the associs- |
tion which we represent We ask, therefore, |
that your Excellonoy will give the matter your |
