Republican majority. 246.
SCENES AT THE HEADQUARTERS.
Meonian Hall was just crowded with an
enthusiastic throng. On the stage were
large number of professional and business
men who seemed to have gone wild with ex
element. As the good news was read, hur-
rah after hurrah rang out on the air and
echoed up and down the street. About nine
o'clock Senator Blaine entered the hall. He
received a tremendous ovation. Loud calls
were made for a speech. Mr.. Blaine stepped
upon the platform and said
81 have some news here from New York
which may interest you. The democratic
majority in the city will not exceed $4,000.
This was the signal for a stormy outbreak
of cheers and applause. Everybody seemed
happy. 1t was a perfect love feast.
Then a republican came in. "Heard the
news about the democrats?' said he.
"No;" was the reply, eve can't find any
democrats
"Well, they tried their darndest to raise
$50 to pay for dispatches. and they could
raise only S.. 10. They were going to parade
at midnight over n. Y, but guess they will
wait twenty years longer
Two barrels of apples were rolled in and
distributed. Republicans munched the juicy
fruit, and shook hands with each other over
the happy result. Indeed during the whole
evening there was nothing but unrestrained
hilarity at headquarters.
The MIDNIGHT MARCH.
At midnight the pent-up feelings of the re-
publicans could be restrained no longer. A
procession of over two hundred, with tin
horns, headed by drum corps, paraded the
streets. Prominent democrats were serenad-
ed; bells rung: bonfires blazed everywhere.
TWAS glorious carnival of triumph.

The Sunday Ordinances.

Editors Free Trader-The question of the en-
lOrcement of our Sunday ordinances ID talked
about SO much and SO little is done about enforc-
ing them that II has led me to examine them a
little.
And think as they now stand it is almost
impossible to enforce them.
There is one clause in the ordinance that can
).he and is enforced occasionally.
Section six t6), page IA Revised Ordinances,
reads as follows
If any person shall be found in a state of intox-
icatiou in any highway, street or alley, public
ground or other place within the limits Of this
city, every person offending shall, upon con-
yictlon thereof, be fined IN a sum not exceeding
twenty five dollars.
Now, this is the only section of the law that
our authorities ever pretend to enforce. be-
iieve that it is an established principal in law
that anyone in whose possession stolen goods
or property is found, such person or persons are
held to be the thief unless he or they can give a
satisfactory account Of how or where he or they
came in possession ofthem. Now, when a man is
found drunk OF the streets on the Sabbath, he is
simply the custodian of contrabsnd or stolen
goods, and knew no reason why he should not
have an opportunity to prove where he came in
possession of the goods, and thus prove who the
original ,sw- breakers are. Let US have an ordi-
nance that will make all those found drunk with
in the city limits on the Sabbath a witnes- for
the people against the original law-breaker that
FIRST violated the ordinance and made it possible
for his unfortunate customer TO become drunk.
Suppose We had an ordinance something like
this:
Any person or persons found in state Of in
toxicatiOn within the limits of this city on the
Sabbath, or the first day Of the week, shall be
held in custody IN the Jail or calaboose until he,
she, or they shall testify for the people against
the party or parties guilty OF violating the ordi

Some of our people are wonderfully exercised

no one could by any possible excuse cOnstrue in

the school decidedly missed now by the pupils,
the Trustees were right in going back to the old
custom of the school, in force from their inaugu-
ration, of running the school without prayer in
the morning, assuming that all good people who
think the day should be commenced with prayer,
will do so at their own Preside. Even If the mi
norty of parents desired no prayer, they have
rights under the school law which the Trustees
are bound to recognize; and under the circum-
stances we cannot see what else the Trustees
could do than what they have done.
