THE CITY ELECTION.
A SWEEPING REPUBLICAN
VICTORY.
The Majority Over 600 For
Davis.
THE CITY ELECTION.

A most dismal dawn ushered in Election
Day in Portland. Heavy showers fell in the
morning, and in the city appearances indicated
that the rain would prevent many, especially
the aged and the sick, from voting. By noon
the sun appeared and swept off the dark clouds
from the heavens as the Republicans swept in
to an utter route the combined forces of Dem
ocrats and Greenbackers who had fused so con-
fidently they would be content with no fig
ures that did not look to the election of Smith
and the slaughter of Garcelon. Many Dem
ocratic voters Joined the Republican ranks, I'M
able to swallow the porridge their managers
had provided for them. Others refused to vote
at all. Republicans saw the importance of the
occasion, and the aged, and ieenesse dore who
rarely step into ward room, were found in
the long que awaiting their turn to vote.
There were not many split tickets distribu-
ted in the morning. There seemed to be feel
ing that the election was too important to all
sides to hazard anything of this kind. A few
candidates-or their friends who felt much
anxiety-had many ballots circulated with
their names substituted for their opponents
Judge Cleaves's name was substituted for H.C.
Peabody's for Judge of the Probate Court.
Isaac F. Quinbys name was substituted for
one of the Republican Senators. Smith and
Garcelon tickets bore Peabody's name instead
Cleaves. A. A. Strout's name seemed to have
preference over Lewis Pierce's for Represen-
tative, and d. w. Trues name was cut con-
siderably in favor of Locke's.
In wards 3 and the following pure Green
back ticket was circulated
Governor-Jo L. Smith.
Senators-Edward A. Gibbs, Elliott King,
Caleb A. Chaplin, Spencer Rogers.
Judge of Probate-Nathan Cleaves.
Register. f. Quinby.
Commissioner-W. b. Skillin.
Attorney-A. j. Blethen.
Treasurer-M. G. Dow.
Representatives-Char Dyer, Charles Mer-
rill, Solomon Chenery, Charles B. Nash, l. d.
CuShman.
A member of the Democratic city committee
tried to stop the man from circulating these
tickets and failed.
At the wards there was little interest outside
of the anxiety to get their ballots in on the part
of voters of all parties, and some of the honey
fugling resorted to by members of each party
to get men on the other side to vote their ticket
In Ward 4 well-known Republican assembled
the steps of Old City Hall, and, as he reached
the top, saw fellow in confab with a
negro, OH whom the former was pressing a
ticket which he (the Irishman) said was the
straight Republican. The gentleman looked
over the negro's shoulder and seeing the ticket
was Democratic, offered him the one which he
(the gentleman was about to vote, that is, a
straight Republican. To assure the negro that
he was not deceiving him the gentleman called

PuritanIc Slavery.

There was undoubtedly some injudicious
management--it may have been culpable, it
may have been criminal-at one Of the re-
cent walking matches. But that affords q
very insufficient reason for making IL a
misdemeanor, as Mr.. LANGBEIN proposes, TO
keep or rent a hall, room, or building for
running or walking exhibitions where an
admittance fee Is required.
If people want to test their comparative
skill at running or walking, why should
they not be at liberty to do so just as much
as Mr., LANGDEIN is at liberty TO test his
skill as compared with that Of his opponent
in getting elected to the Assembly,
We want no Purltanic slavery, no patcr-
nal government in this State; no more leg
islation Of any kind than is absolutely nee
essary.
If two men want to walk, and others arc
willing to pay for the privilege OF seeing
them, why should tho receiving OF the
money be made misdcmcanor
We believe one oppressive, despotc law,
OF the kind proposed by Mr., LANoBElN-a

Condemned Out of Ills Own Mouth.

Certain highly respectable gentlemen tos-
titled on the trial Of Capt. ALEXANDER s.
WILLIAMS that he did not club Mr.. BLAKE at
Gllmore's Garden because they did not see
him do II, and that they were in situation
to SEQ him II he had done IL. These respect
able witnesses must have been slightly set
back by Capt. WILLIAMS own admission
under oath that he tapped" Mr.. BLAKE
with his club
So here we have It, from the Captain him
self, let alone all other testimony against
him, that he did club Mr.. BLAKE.
And what is his justification or excuse
His own words. IA reported, are that no tap
ped Mr.. BLAKE with his club gently behind,
TO remind him that he was still behind him.
He had ordered Mr.. BLAKE out Of the Gar
den; Mr. BLAKE was going out. As he
walked along Capt. WILLIAMS struck him
with his locust club, not from any necessity,
but merely that by feeling the blow Of the
locust club from behind he might learn by
the direction from which the blow came
where the man who welded the club was.
This raises an interesting question: When
n policeman wishes to let citizen know
where the said policeman is. may he strike
the citizen with locust club as the means
of imparting that information
II Capt. WILLIAMS ia at liberty TO do IL,
then all other policemen may do the same
thing.
Whether the tapping" with tho locust
club was gently done, as Capt. WILLIAMS
asserts, or cruelty done. is point on which
the Captain and Mr.. BLAKE differ diametri-
cally. Possibly II Capt WILLIAMS had re-
oeived the blows instead Of administering
them he would have formed the same esti-
mate Of their character which Mr.. BLAKE
has sworn 10.
Ii Capt. WILLIAMS has not been misre-
ported or misrepresented, he has all along
been boasting that he was safe because the.
Board OF Police did not dare TO remove him
1t would have been more TO his credit IL he
had said he was safe because he was inno-
cent.
We should be sorry 20 believe that the
Police Commissioners would shrink through
fear from the performance of any duty.
1t would be deplorable state Of things
for the community If Police Captain could
club unoficnding citizens with impunity be-
cause the Police Commissioners, owing to
something the Captain threatened to reveal
against them, did not dare 20 remove him.
All these rumors have impaired an I'M
usual interest to the case OF Capt. WILL
LIAMs and the public watch eagerly TO see
what will come out OF IL.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1879-04-14

enemies OF vaccination, and one or two OF
them have written to The Sun declaring
that the incubation Is worse in its effects
than the disease; that 1t breeds or encour-
ages worse maladcs than even the small
poX. But doctors, in the vast majority
OF cases. as IT is we'll known, are stout adj
vocates Of the practice, and certainly tho
freedom Of New York from the disease after
a period OF persistent vaccination, accom-
panied by the employment Of other means
for the prevention OF the spread OF the in
lection, justilles their confidence in tho dis
covery of JENNER.
The dense population OF that part OF this
city from which the recent case s reported
demands that there should be assiduity and
watchfulness in checking any further prog
ress Of tho infection there, for II once
smallpox got Roadway on the crowded cast
side " would speedily develop into a do
structive epidemic.
We are approaching the season in which
the sanitary laws ought TO be most vigil
lantly and intclligcntly applied. II ls also
n year in which disease OF an epidemic sort
Is more than usually rife throughout the
world. and we cannot dismiss all fears OF n
recurrence Of tho yellow fever pestilencc OF
last summer and autumn. The people
therefore require those who have charge Of
the funds provided for preserving the health
OF tho city to be prepared at every point to
meet and rcpel tho open and insidious adj
vances Of epidemic diseases.
The first quarter OF the year shows an In
crease in the number OF deaths over the
first quarter OF 1873. Scarlet fever, con-
trary to expectation, continues to he one Of
the main causes OF the city's mortality,
the number OF cases Of the disease for tho
two weeks ending March 90 being $3.50; and
diphtheria, though less prevalent, is still
common.
