The people of this county Assem-.
bIcd at the polls yesterday and adj.
ministcrcd to the Republican party
their annual rebuke, and to the
soreheads Of both parties, gentle
reminder that a third party IS not
needed just at this time.
The result may be summed up in
few words: The Democratic ticket
of Mason county is elected to man,
and in consequence we are assured
that our public servants for the next
official terms of years in Mason
county, will be honest, efficient and
intelligent.
The yellow fever is still very bad
in the southern cities and it is also
spreading to the interior towns ofthe
south, creating widespread tcrrorand
a very large death list.
The New York papers are filed
with accounts of murders, plain,
complicated, secret and public, until
the reader wearies with the shocking
particulars.
We notice that some of our ex-
changes are naming Hon. Henry G.
Davis, of this State, for Vice.Presi,

Thousands of farmers throughout
the country received pay for their
wheat in trade and Mexican dollars
at par. Now that the money is in
the hands of the people John sher-
man issues his mighty fat deprccia'
ting that money ten per cent. 1t is
estimated that the Sherman order
will cost the people over three mil
lion dollars. This is republican
fnancicring.
We hope the controversies of the
election campaign will leave no last
ing impressions in the shape of i'll
will or disturbance Of friendly rela-
tions, bat that all these may pass
away, like idle vaporings, as they
ought. Much has been said, thai;
ought not to have been said, but who
ever knew an election without con
troversies and wranglcs,
Elections take place as follows,
during next month: Mississippi,

ida, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland,
Michigan, Massachusetts, Missouri,
Nevada, Nebraska, New Jersey, New

South Carolina, Texas, Tennessee

All the Territories hold their cleo

Maryland has provided by law a
plan of arbitration of disputes be-
tween employers and laborers. 1t
has not been tested yet, but the Bal-
timoro Sun says that the labor.dilli,
eulties have been adjusted with un,
usual sense and Cancellation this

cases workmen and their employers
have left out their troubles to disin,
tcrested parties for decision, and the
journcymon ringers voluntarily re-
duced their wages 10 per cent. to en-
able their employers togoon. These
facts are encouraging, and, the Sau
well suggests, "mark very emphatic,

genuine and the spurious workmon
