The Republican press generally, has
come to the conclusion that the American
system of elections is merely failure
This opinion is more noticeable since the
Alabama election and they begin to scent
the defeat of Garfield from afar. The
Democrats felt early in ~ that the
American system Of elections was failure,
but they took heart again, and now enter
upon another contest with renewed vigor,
hopeful that second trial will demonstrate
the success Of the system.

MIR. Jno. F. Park, the COOPER has pur-
chased the four lots at the lower end OF
town on which the washboard factory stood
that was burned down, and will immedi-
ately proceed to erect thereon an extensive

Washington avenue can, at tritiing
cost when compared with the benefits to be
derived from it, be made into q beautiful
drive and credit to the city. 1t is wide
and straight and level and runs from one
end of town to the other. All that is nee
essary to change it, is to give eight feet
more for sidewalk on each side, making the
space twenty feet instead of twelve, plant
the additional eight feet with Bermuda
grass, set row of shade trees, maple or
elm, near the outer edge; outside of them
place the curbing and gutter and after
lowering the space between the rows of
trees to grade-utiizing the surplus dirt in
filling the cross streets put on ten inch
coating of gravel. If this should be done
the city would have drive way that would
not only be handsome, but one that could
be used the year round.

tieing the Hymenial knot, is much sought
after by the class who find that q life of
celibacy is but half life, and who have
but little money wherewith to effect a

Esquire's hands was couple from Grand
