SHERMAN TO STAY SENATOR.

For time after the election, the ques-
ton as to which Of the parties would have
the new Ohio legislature on joint ballot
WIS supposed to hinge on the result In
Hamilton county. It now turns out that
this is not the case. If it shall transpire
that the Democrats have every candidate
for both houses in Hamilton county, the
new legislature will sta nd on joint ballot,
seventy-fve Republicans to seventy-two
Democrats. Senator Sherman viii be his
own successor. His Mount Gilead speech
will live in history as the bright signal of
the times for Republican action.

COMING TO THE CLOSE.

Between the close of TO-DAY and th'
morning of the general election Their
will be only nine days. Two of them vii
be SUNDAYS. This, therefore, is not tot
early for us to state few plain facts II
connection with the election which is te
come off on Tuesday, November 3. What
we here asser,, we stand ready 70 defend
before or after the election.
In the first place, the Masonic myth
cannot be defended on any grounds OF
common sense. Mr.. L. K. Pratt did not
raise the question himself A query was
propounded to him. He answered it
squarely, and will stand by l.. See his
rejoinder to Mr.. Reede-.
In the second place, Masonry is not
popularity supposed to be an instrument
with which to back electioneerin2
schemes. Masonry is not known as po-
itical order, is it?
In the third place, there is a small group
OF men at Hays and still smaller one at
Wa-Keeney who would like to oppose Mr..
Pratt on Personal grounds, and lack the
manhood to come out and say so. These
two groups in these two towns, with the
exception of an occasional recruit, have
worked together for years. They have
not always got all that they wanted, and
they Jared that way when L. +. Pratt was
nominated for Judge. We speak Of this,
because there will be time inside of a
fortnight when the bulk of them will be
ready to see shot for high treason any one
who would talk so freely on this theme as
we are now doing. As far as the small
gang in Wa-Keeney are concerned, they
will perhaps be voting open tickets for
NJ. Pratt on election day, unless this a.
ticle shall head them Off We aim to say
that they are powe.less to do L. l.. Pratt
any material harm in Trego county.
Trego county can be relied upon to sup
port the straight Republican ticket.
In the fourth place, these few st ~ag-
glers in the Republican camp in Ellis
county and this are still talking of get
ting L. e. Pratt's name taken off the
ticket for judge, and that Of w. II. P-att
substituted Now, let US say % the
straight Republicans through this section
of the district: Do not be tempted to sup
pose for moment that any such action
will be taken. The district committee is
In no mood to entertain such proposition.
II it was, it would deserve choking to
death for pure villainy. No committee
has the right 10 place itself above the
party who gave it birth. The party nomi-
mated I. K. Pratt. It did so decisively,
and, save in the case of this select set of
irreconcilables, the work suits the people
of this district. Now, as to Judge W. e.
Pratt's attitude in reference to being
given L. K. Pratt's place On The ticke,. he
is too much Of man to consent to such
a deal, even if it were practicable. We
assert now, ard .;rH assume all responsibility
in the Premises, that Judge W. 81. Pratt
will not allow his name to be used this
fall as candidate for Judge. We caution
all voters against believing any report to
the contrary. What votes are not cast
for Gilkeson Will be cast by Intelligent
men for L. K. Pratt. To be forewa-n ned

The Burlington (Vt.) Press, of Oct.
10th, 1884, thus speaks of the Hibernica
Co., that will appear in this city, April
18th:
'Last night Howorth' Tibernica Com
pany appeared for the third time in the
Opera House. The play for the evening
was The Two Dams or the Twin Jarveys,
a humorous comedy suggested by Shake
speare's Comedy of Errors The two
Dams are twin brothers and are separated
from childhood. They are engaged by
different members of an American tourist
party, as servants, and although they do
not meet until the conclusion of the play,
yet they are continually taken for each
other by their respective masters and
sweethearts. The ludicrous mistakes,
laughable complications and amusing in
cid ents and episodes with which the play
abounds, render it most interesting. Be-
tween the scenes of the play grand pan
oramic view of Ireland is exhibited. The
storm scene on the ocean with the light
ming flashing, the thunder rolling and the
good ship Britannia tossing on the waves
is particularly worthy of mention. The
sunset and the moonlight scenes on the
Lakes of Killarney was really beautiful
and they called forth we'll deserved bursts
Of applause. Another scene of great merit
was a view of st. Patrick Cathedral
Dublin, BY night, with the old time IL
Illumination and the priests chanting the
Christmas anthem.

TEMPERANCE ORGANIZATIONS.

As we glance over the records of the
different temperance organizations, which
have existed 10 this city, and read the
pledges of the many good and honest
names appended thereto, we naturally
look about for the outcome of all these
pledges-look to the present state of af-
fairs in Lambertville--and looking, we
feel constrained to cry out, how could
these deplorable things have come to
passa and the question arises, If these
once earnest workers, had all continued
faithful to their pledges to the cause
firm through every encouragement, stead
fast in faith and works; if all this pledged
influence, wealth and personal devotion,
had been unremittingly made to bear
against this great evil, and continued
until this present time, could intemper-
ance in our midst have become thus ram
pant ? The promise il = those who 'faint
not" "For all tke1< hings, God will
call us to a strict aSdht." What shall

The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1885-04-01

The annual report of the Directors of
the Lambertville Water Co., is just out.
AS matter of general public interest we
copy from it the following statement of
analyses made by Mr.. S. W. Cochran,
chemist of this city:
In accordance with the directions of the
Water Co., have during the past year.
continued the examinations and analyses
of the water supply, and include the re-
suits in the annexed report
The general condition and quality of
the water supply has shown a gradual
aud very decided improvement from year
to year since the construction of the up
per reservoir. During the first summer
that it was in operation, the water was,
for period of several weeks, in a very
offensive condition, owing chiefly to the
decay of large quantities Of vegetable mat
ter submerged by the filling of the reser-
voir. In the following summer similar
condition existed, but did not last SO long.
Each successive summer since then there
has been very evident improvement in
the condition of the water. So rapid has
been this improvement, that during the
past summer there was scarcely any por-
ton of the time when this uupleasa n tness
was sufficiently marked to render the
water Objectionable for ordinary uses, aud
it may reasonably be expected that by the
coming summer 1t will have disappeared
altogether.
In regard to softness, freedom from
mineral impurities, &c, the analyses
lately made show, by their close agree
ment with those made in previous years,
that the water still maintains its high
character in these respects, and also that
the sources of supply are such that it is
not likely to vary to any noticeable ex-
tent in these particulars. This quality of
softness, or freedom from dissolved earthly
salts, is of the greatest value in domestic
use, and also in many, if not most, manu-
featuring operations, particularly wher-
ever steam is used, the annoyance and
expense caused by the scale deposited in
boilers from hard waters, being fact too
well known to need comment.
The following table will show the re-
suits of the analyses made during the
past year, both of the city water at vari-
Gus times, as we'll as of several wells used
for drinking and domestic purposes to a
large extent, by the people living in their
vicinity:
