The City Election.

The city election, last Tuesday, passed
oil quietly. though the contest was spirited
enough to make 1t interesting. 1t was an.
other case of the capture OF Holland by its
former possessors, and resulted in the cleo
ton OF most OF the republican ticket, which,
though sailing under Independent coIors,
WAS framed, engineered and fought for by
the same little coterie which has the impu-
dence TO cry ''ring" to q set Of democrats
whose acts are always open and above-board,
while tl.cir own secret organization quietly
'ixes'' things in II secluded chamber away
from the eyes OF thu obshient voters who do
its bidding. a few unreliable democrats,
who should, TO be consistent. sever their
connection with u party which they only
act with 10 defeat. helped along the result.
The democratic convention might possibly
have made n stronger ttckrt-of this how
ever, We have nothing to offer, but such AS
II WAS It was made in open mass convention,
TO which every democrat in the city WAS
freely invited, after their executive COM
mittee hal deemed 1t to be the will OF the
democrats that a straight party ticket should
be placed in the field. 1t was \ ticket COM
posed OF honest gentlemen, competent TO
the duties for which they were
offered, and In their defeat the democracy
of the city has nothing of which to feel
ashamed. 1t accomplished this much: 1t
forced the republicans to place at the head
OF their ticket an honest and Trustworthy
citizen, OF their party, though In some
other positions they succeeded with men far
objectionable. The democrats elect
