No Election OF Mayor but Patterson
Ahead
The Rum shops Must Go
Under.
ONE MORE PULL FOR THE
ELECTION OF MAYOR.
Patterson the Coming Man

The election in this city yesterday was
one of the most ficrcely contested for
years. With nothing but good cause
and high courage to sustain them the re-
publicans went into the fght. and most
gloriously they fought every inch of ground
and gallantly won Il splendid victory.
The opposition used every appliance to
carry their points. They manipulated the
voting lists, colonized certain wards.
poured out money recklesslv. and brought
men to the polls so drunk that they were
unable to tell their names when they at
tempted to vote More than 5000 in
cash was distributed by them in the
different wards of the city, voters being
paid in some instances as high as $50
apiece to vote the democratic ticket.
The agents and lackeys of the grog shops
were busy for weeks before the election
recruiting and drilling for the fight, and
Monday they brought their men up in
squads and voted them like slaves.
Against all the combined forces of the OPP
position, of all shades and stripes, with
their immense corruption fund of money
and rurn tba ranull;nane baI 30 ,.,,.a,,l
and most successful fight they made.
The vote cast was unusually large for
a March election. Hon. Joseph W. Pat
terson received the largest vote cast for
any candidate for Mayor, and Mr. Black,
the greenback candidate, the smallest num-
Der. Mr.. Nash received about $50 repub-
lican votes and $40 democratic votes.
OF the Aldermen the republicans cleo
ted four, which gives them the control of
the city government for the coming wear.
and will enable them in future elections TO
have fair chance in the correction of the
check lists.
Another election for the choice of Mayor
VIII be held next week and Joseph w.
Patterson will be elected. The republ-
cans Will come up unitedly to his support.
II the democrats and greenbackcrs care
about spending any more money and ef-
fort to elect democratic MAYOR who
would be utterly useless to them if he
could be elected, they can have the OF.
portunity.
We rejoice with our temperance peopl,
that the Rum Power in this place ha,
been obliged to succumb We hope tn,
new city government will see that tn,
grog shops are rs speedily and closet,
shut up as they can be. They have dis
grssced the city long enough with theil
accursed traffic.
Honortothe good men who voted andtbe
stout-bearted workers who labored yester
day in the redemption of the city. The,
fought glorious fight and won a splendi,
victory. May the coming administration b'
s1ch as TO command the respect of all on
people by its wise and prudent measures

Mr.. Frank Buck, of Land and Water,
writes of the friendly Zulus the following !:
They were most at home when throwing the
assegai. These really are most fearful weap-
ons. They are from four to five feet long,
made of hard wood, and carry a blade or
narrow spear of soft, pliable iron, about five
inches long, cutting with both edges. When
using the assegai they cause it to culver in
the hand in a peculiar manner before they
throw it. This gives it an impetus; it flies
through the air AS quick and as silent as an
arrow from a bow, and it strikes the object
with a peculiar sullen thud. Two ordinary
targets as used at archery meetings were
placed, one behind the other, aginst a plat
form OF boards. After a volley of two asse-
gals thrown by each Zulu l found there were
six COLDS, and the rest of the spears were very
near COLDS. If the object aimed at had been
an ordinary man everv assegai would have
penetrated his chest. SO deep had the weap-
ons gone through the two targets and into the
wood behind that the attendants lad some
difficulty in getting them out. l examined
the wounds in the targets. If these wounds
had heen made in the human frame, being
deep punctured wounds, they, if not at once
