The City Election.

Tnere bids fair to be no lack of tickets to
be voted FOR here next Tuesday. The
Greenbackers alias Nationals are first in the
field and present candi dates good, bad and
indiffel emit. Democratic conventions are to
follow within a day or two; and simon-pure
Democratic tickets which the faithful are
Gratis, will be nomina ted. Then comes the
Union League, which in case it fails to cap.
ture the Democratic caucuses and nominate
men 10 its liking, will follow with ticket
representing the peculiar views of that or
regard 10 party may be heard from; and
forge ting that they are Republicans or
Democrats, Greenbackers or Goldbugs, In
fiationists or Contractionsts, Union Lea
guers or Anti -Leaguers, they may conclude
to enter the dark horse which is to win the
race. Certainly there was never greater
need than now for the tax payers of Wat
ertown to lay aside their PARTY prejudices
and do battle for their material interests,
which are at this time so much in need of
their attention. They Go not desire anoth-
er year of such msmanagement in the af-
fairs of the city as the past has been. Let
them watch the movements of the Demo
cracy, and then hold a mass convention
next Saturday to nominate ticket which
represents no party nor faction, and has
only one object in view which shall be an
honest, economical and painstaking admin

JUNEAU, March 26th, rs.
The Green attackers to the number of abont
40 met in caucus on Saturday last and
ON mated the following ticket: Chairman.
John Leslie; Supervisors, D. S. Philips and
F. F. DEWITT; Clerk, L. E. Haughton:
Treasurer, Elon Tyler; Justices, Geo. War
den, E. Eldred and T. S. Smith, Consta-
bles, VIM. Warner and John McCollow
The Greenbackers themselves are by no
means unanimous in their support of the
ticket. The nominee for chairman was
selected for the reason that it was we'll
known that the Democrats intended to
nominate him, and in that case the Green
hackers could take the credit of at least elect
ing one of their candidates. 1t is probable
that the honest money men of both De mocrats
and Republics rs will unite on an opposition
ticket.

The Fairs and Politics.
Red Wing Republican. |

But now, thanks to Hen. VIM. S. Kings
opposition show to the fair of the State
agricultural society, feeling of bitterness
has been aroused between Minneapolis and
st. Paul and the adherents of each that will
give Donnelly hundreds of votes. The
Minneapolis people backed up Mr.. King,
and the st. Paul folks were forced into the
support of the State society. The contest open
ed in bitterness and has increased in inten-
sity of ill feeling up to this time, and the
Minneapolis Tribune, since the fairs are
over, attempts to make the local hate to st.
Paul more allembracing by condeming the
St. Paul and Sioux city railroad manage
ment for discriminating against Minneapo
lis by the pursuit of policy which had
been agreed upon by the managers Of that
road and of the Minneapolis & St. Louis
railroad jointly. Mr. Washburn is president
of the Minneapolis & st. Louis road, and if
the st. Paul road was managed adversely to
Minneapolis, Mr.. Washburn's road was man
aged adversely to st. Paul. If St. Paul had
the Democratic candidate he would get
scarcely any votes in Hennepin county and
a detection of Republican votes in st. Paul
would thus be balanced. But Donnelly is
an outsider. The Minneapolis Democrats
vote as willingly as the st. Paul Democrats,
and every Republican vote cast for Donnelly
in Ramsey county will find no offset any
where.

as good as the greenbacks. Why we should

THE FALL RIVER DEFALcAr1oNs.

HO,c Chas. p. Stickney Used His Son I'm His
Dishonest Operdtions--Ihe Responsibility
For the Hathaway and Chace Defaica-
tions Placed Upon His Shoulders.
Fall River Special to New York Times.
Each day some new report concerning
p. Stickney's defalcations is on the street,
and the uneasiness among business men is
widespread. It is believed that the whole
truth is not yet known, and that more troub
ie is to come. Some of yesterdays alarming
reports, however, are corrected to-day. It
is now authoritatively stated that the firm of
j. A. Bowen & Co., of which Charles j.
Stickney, sou of Charles P, is member,
is solvent, Notwithstanding that it has be-
come involved in the elder Stickne S opera
tions. Bowen, the senior partner, has been
Ill for several years, and when consulted by
young Stickney concerning business ven
lures, very frequently advised the latter to
ask his fathers advice; so the elder
Stickney had opportunity to take
advantage of the young mans
inexperience and did so. Among other
transactions, he sold the firm coal at whole
sale by the cargo in the name of Cashier,
Stickney & Wellington: as he did to other
parties in the city, and Immediately received
at the time of the sale, and before the ar
rival Of the cargo, ''coal note," which he
promptly got discounted 1t now appears
that it was too often the old mans custom to
sell a single cargo before it arrived to several
parties, promptly raising cash on the ''coal
notes. thus obtained. Bowen q Co. several
times found, on the arrival of the cargoes
purchased by them, that they were claimed
by some mill by purchase. Thus much con-
fusion was occasioned, but no suspicion of
fraud seems to have been entertained, bust
ness having been SO long conducted in this
city by the big operators in free and easy
| reckless Sly le.
Though young Stickney was used by his
father, it does not appear that he INDUCED in
irregularities himself, and report to-day

each to carry on the business in his own city
MIR. Cashier in New York, Mr.. Wellington
in Boston, and Mr.. Stickney in Fall River
AN agreement was entered into that each
could use the firm name in the transaction OF
business, and, moreover, for any business OF
his own individually, and each gave bonds to
secure the contract, although no sureties were
attached thereto. 1t is further stated that
Stickney is the only one who has used this
privilege, and that he has abused it. BY
those who should be informed it is asserted
that Stickney is largely responsible for the
Hathaway and Chace defalcations, and 8
strong pressure is being brought upon Hatha
way to induce him to make full statement
of all the transactions, without regard to the
persons involved.

UNITE IND WIN.

The Democrats and Nationals, or Green
hackers, stand substantially on the same
financial platform. The Nationals may be a
little more extreme than the Democrats, but
as they cannot hope to carry their extreme
views, and never expect to, they should
unite with the Democrats and secure the
main things desired. They certainly have
no hope for anything from the Republican
party. That organization is the bound slave
of Wall street, and where neither
Democrats or Nationals are, single
handed, able to overthrow their
common enemy, there is every incentive to
make common cause. United effort will
secure two congressman from Minnesota.

The rumor is revived of an English pro-
tectorate over Egypt with the consent of
France. It is but a question of time when
this shall be brought about. The Porte is
absolutely incapable of properly governing
Egypt with wisdom. The country is heavily
involved in debt, the obligations being
mostly held in England and France. It will
doubtless become necessary for those gov
ernments in self protection to assume joint
charge of the affairs of the country. But in
the. present unsettled condition of Europe
the contamination of the scheme will be
hazardous, for it will be likely to awaken
the jealousy of Russia, Germany and Aus
tria to such an extent as to ally them against
the Gaul and the Anglo-Saxon. When the
protectorate is assumed there must be an
assured and established peace in Europe.
