OH Tuesday. 50 quietly that ale
would hardly nave known that Ii was
election day were it not for the crowd
gathered at Inc polling places. 4
great dead Of Lard work was done for
both tickets. The Peoples Ticket
came out ahead, with two exceptions.
Mayor SpenSley was reelected by 4
majority Of forty-three votes. Mr..
Pnlford, contrary to expectations,
was beaten for Supervisor IN tire
upper ward, lut ny i small majority.
The fact that his opponent, Mr.. Shep-
ard, Is very popular man, and - ~
present i member Of the County Board
aud ably represents the city,Will prob
ably account for the defeat Of the for
lner. Mr.. Plltord was deemed the
strongest candidate that could be
brought out, and Mr.. Shepard has
therefore all the more right to feel
proud over his election. Mr. PriestIcy
made splendid run for Assessor,
coming cut ahead by 1O4 majority.
Doctors MOtfett and Field contended
for the saperintendency Of schools,
but the supporters Of the former
proved much more numerous than the
supporters u the latter and Molfett
won the day. Mr.. a. b. Ferris made
IN excellent run for alderman i'll the
FIRST ward, and the fact Of having
beaten 50 good il man rs Mr.. TreWeek
shows that he possesses strength and
the confidence of his friends. a big
fight was made by the friends Of John
Dale and Nicholas Smith for the Office
Of Treasurer and Smith Won by 4 fair
majority. James got 4 majority Of
seventy in the second ward. w. N.
Curry was reelected Supervisor BY a
good majority; and Hugh Connaugh-
for constable, beat both his opponents,
and is back iii his old place again.

elected constable in the first ward by
Il majority Of two votes.

No more Temperance Tights
for u.s. If you please.

for US, IL you please.
II IS to be hoped chat we have wit
messed for the last time the attempt to
conduct the city elections on the
temperance issue so-caled. The
Democrat from tho first was in favor
Of holding straight party caucuses and
making party nominations, and it still
believes that it ii is the only salts
| factory manner IN which elections can
he conducted. Not that it has amy OBJ
jcctiens to find to 4 Republican being
elected to i city office, or is dissatisfied
with the result Of Tuesdays election,
but it believes that in straight party
nominations, Ill side issues are more
likely to be shut out, and that in order
to hope for victory each party will be
compelled to nominate the very best
men US candidates for the various city
offices.
The Democrat wishes ii distinctly
understood that it has no utilization
with any temperance OF other organ
| izations. Nor does it seek to promote
| the interests of one class of citizens
above the interests Of another class.
IL simply demands that the existing
city laws Shall be enforced.
1t is but justice TO state, that with
all the hue and cry raised by the tenn
perance folks about the violations Of
the liquor ordinances and the neglect
Of officers todo their duty, not a single
complaint has been entered by amy Of
them or any attempt made to punish
at law for such violations.
Ii is alike true that violations Of the
liquor ordinances have been frequent
and continued, despite the known
wishes and the protests Of I'LL right
minded citizens.
The Democrat has no desire to carry
water on both shoulders; nor OH amy
shoulder for that matter 1t will de
nounce with all the force it can com
mand any violations Of fine city or
dinances, and especially such rs cause
50 much pickering and strife Is the
violations to which it now refers.

saloons closed ut II o'clock. Z. NJ, and
they should be closed at that hour,

can State Convention met here at ii O'Clock
this morning and ex Gov. John Gregory Smith
was announced 90 temporary chairman. On
taking the chair Gov. Smith referred to the
Presidents Southern policy and said What
arc the results of the experiment. The repub-
lican party born of necessity has been shattered
and riven and yet can any one say that its
mission is ended. Has it performed its work
and should it be superseded? Let the record
of the present Congress give answer is.t there no
need of the republican party. Does equality
exist in the lately rcbellious States? Never
since prior to the war has the spirit of rebellion
been 90 violent, so rampant as to-day. What
means the reduction Of the army and reducing
approriations2 Can you recall similar legls
lation? Go back to the days Immediately pre-
ceding tho rebellion, whsn the loyal North was
crippled that the rebel South might be all
powerful. The present is but repetition of
that legislation. Never since then has the
Government so much needed the Support Of
loyal people, In that alone lies the safety of the
republic Without that the triumph of treason
is sure. I am 20 alarmist believe while the
policy OF generous treatment was honestly
undertaken, it will be as honestly abandoned. l
believe the administration will live to see the fail.
ure of its policy and is now prepared to take a
different stand and come to the side Of the only
party that can bring peace aud safety to the
country. [ have not yet lost my faith IN that
guiding Providence that has thus far preserved
and guarded our country and will yet bring US
through all our troubles. Gov. Smith was
warmly oheered at the conclusion

The proposed congressional trip to the Paris
exposition seems to meet with general approval.
The New York Herald is not only in favor Of
it, but hopes the whole Congress will 90 and
stay five or six years. If tho Herad's hope
had a possible fruition wo have no doubt it
would be shared in heartily by vast ma
jority of the members. for by that means alone
can the congressional terms Of many of them,
about the extension Of which they are chiefly
concerned be accomplished, and the $1,000 a
year and mileage, to draw which is the princi
pal reason for an average member attendance,
be secured for four years beyond the period

in his Own Impeachment, be has resorted to ali
