WARD 4.
Another Election to be Held To-Day.-A
Leaf from Mr.. Sullivan's Record.

AS will be seen by the returns printed else
where the voting in ward 4, yesterday, result
ed in no choice. Another election will be held
to-day. the polls opening at 10 a. M, and clos
ing at p. m. An inspection of yesterday s
vote shows how narrowly the respectable and
law abiding citizens of ward escaped the
election to the City Government of a man
whose propensity for violating law the State
has had to restrain several times by commit
ment to the County Jail. 1t depends largely
on the action OF respectable Democrats whether
the ward shall escape this danger again to-
day. But whatever the Democrats may do, it
is the duty of the Republicans to record their
protest, even though likely to be Intellectual,
against the disgrace which it is sought to put
upon the City Government by Mr.. Sullivan
and his supporters, by voting solidly for Mr.
Edward A. Jordan, the Republican candidate
Yesterdays Argus contained certificate
from the Clerk of Courts stating that there
was no case against Mr.. Sullivan pending in
court. Lest this may deceive some one into
believing that the accusations which have been
made against Mr.. Sullivan in the public prints
are ISLANDERS, we deem it our duty to publish

Mrs. Stetson's Reading.

Last evening Mrs. F. J. Stetson of Boston,
graduate of the Blish School of Oratory,
gave dramatic recital at Grand Amry Hall
The room was we'll filled and the audience
gave frequent manifestations OF approval Of
the lady's efforts.
Mrs. Stetson possesses the advantages of
most attractive face and figure to start with,
is graceful in movement and dresses with
taste and elegance. Last evening she suffered
from two serious annoyances. The one con-
sisted OF religious meeting held in the room
under the hall, the voices of the preacher and
of the singers forming, at times, decidedly
disturbing element. The second was caused
by the frequent moving of furniture in the
room overhead. Consequently when the
meeting did not Offend the restless spirits
above did. Despite these drawbacks, however,
the lady showed that she was the owner of
we'll rounded, flexible voice, of good COM
pass, and, generally speaking her enunciation
was clear and distinct. She presented num-
Der of selections that had the advantage of
novelty to recommend them, in pleasing
manner. Her "Closet scene from Hamlet, -
and Mother on the Battlefield were deliy-
cred with considerable effect, and her negro
selections were very we'll given. In several
instances she illustrated her author with song
and rhythmic gestures, and in one piano ac-
compartment was furnished by lay. AS
Mrs. Stetson becomes more familiar with the
stage, and her voice becomes able to express
all her conceptions, she will rise above the
average of dramatic readers.

The Ogdensburg Road.

Some weeks ago we called attention to the
remarkable rise in the securities of the Ogdens-
burg road, which, if the market sales afford
any proof, are now worth double what they
were seven weeks ago. 1t seems that this ap-
probation is due to the buying of the stock by
parties in the interest Of the St. Johnsbury &
faSsumpslc roads, who are thus seeking to form
through line from the lakes to the sea. It is
now out that Emmons Raymond, president of
the Passumpsic, is to be president of this new
road, and under his management vigorous
measures are to be adopted for making tie pro-
perty OF some value.-St. Adams (Vt) Mes

The Fair Thing.

TO the credit of Reno be it said that
the APPEAL reporter who visited that
town on Wednesday last, saw or heard
of no extortion being practiced on
visitors to the Fair. The restaurants
and hotels set their usual tables, which
were good enough for reasonable people,
and the prices were the same as are
generally charged in that town. 1t is
the fashion to say Of Reno that it " is
hegging place." but we saw nothing
to justify the charge during our late
visit to the town. The Fair, to speak
in plain terms, is failure, but this is
not Reno's fault, and the visitors there
are not robbed to make up for those not
in attendance.
