We hear it intimated in different quar-
tiers that the "artist tailor" did not make
"good ready before leaving the city, We
don't know; we merely give voice to ru'

MIR. J. W. Rowley-the clever old
English gentleman who kept "Sharp Corn
ers" before Adolph Swoboda's time, was in
the city yesterday, He now resides in Pu-
laski
p B, Groat, general passenger agent OF
the Kansas Pacific railway, sends us, with
his compliments, copy of the Colorado
Tourist, one of the most elegantly illustrat
ed publications that was ever issued from
the American press.
Election officers who close up the
avenues by which newspaper men usually
obtain information, and thus keep back
intelligence that belongs to the public,
should never be made election officers a
second time. The public is interested in
keeping men of that kind out of such po-
sitions.
The majority obtained by Mr.. Thistle
wood over Mr. Winter was eighty-one votes,
and not one hundred and one votes, as re-
ported yesterday. Even this result is
founded, in measure, upon unofficial re-
ports, and may be changed, somewhat, by
| the official count, which will be made in a
few days.
Lon Daniels late of the Argus will
visit Charleston, Mo-, soon, on mission of
slaughter. In other words, he proposes
to open a skating rink in that thrifty little

A number Of persons bet on Mr.. This
tlewood's election, giving - majority, As
the reported majority is only 81 the losers
are rampant for contest of the election.
They assume it would be quite an easy
matter to reduce the majority 20 or SO votes
and it would be, if the reducing game
should be left entirely to one party to the
contest; but it is one of those games at
which both parties can play
There was much talk yesterday, and
the evening previous, about 'contesting the
election But nothing will come oft. Can.
didatcs whose election is contested have
habit of making defence, and a change
OF result is, therefore, a most difficult thing
to bring about. The Offices for the posses
