AS the figures given in yesterdays In.
rEL1rGEScER showed. the election of
Tuesday in this borough consisted in moth
inr more or less than Democratic gains,
and the result, although not giving the
Democracy a majority in either the school
board or council, will give them hold,
| and good hold, too, which it will require
at least three years to loosen. Two out OF
three Of the justices of the peace
are Dcmocrats-a gain of two; then in the
election of their candidate for chief burgess
they gain another; they gain one coun-
Gilman and possibly two, and one school
director. Two constablcs have been gain
cd to the DemDcrats--one in the First and
one in the Third wards The total gain is
seven, and if Gen. VIM. Patton is success
full for council it will be eight. The Col
umba Couraat, in taking peep at its pro-
fit and loss account, was sorely displeased
and comes OUT in a not very envlable
| humor It says g We think those kick
crs who went back on the regular ticket
| at our borough election on Tuesday, broke
their f.it. as we'll as their Republican
necks. ii they want Democrats 10 rule,
| they should 20 over body and breeches to
that party. Out with such weak-kneed
Republicans. Shame, disgrace and con-
fusion of face to the whole gang OF them

ant i; Il "staiwart," he is excusable.
Strange to say, W. Hayes Gricrs c.
luInLia MraIA came out without Il single
rooster to grace the heads of its columns
stranger still when it is remembered that
Grier himself was elected justice OF the
| peace in the Second ward. But then we
presume the usual modesty of tho ILeratd
editor got the upper hand Of his inclina-
ton.
