BREAKING PARTY TRACES.

Inc important spring elections were
held last week, and their results are
both interesting and instructive to all
Intelligent political observers. Repub-
llcan party organs that learn nothing
and forget nothing, present the regula-
tion boast that the Republicans have
elected Mayors in Cincinnati. Cleve-
land, Columbus and like Democratic
organs boast of Democratic victories in
the State of Michigan, and of local tri-
umphs in st. Louis, Chicago, Princeton
and other places but neither side pre-
tends to present the truth as it is.
In point of fact, the elections of this
| week prove that the party traces are
| broken on both sides, and that the
people are out On a go-as-vou-please
airing in politics. The Democrats. with
their fusion allies, have swept NIicbi-
gan away from the Republicans bv an
overwhelming majority, but there is no
polltlcal significance in the result be-
yond the growing independence of the
people. 1t proves that Michigan is no
longer partisan Republican State. but
II does prove that it is Il Democratic
State. '''>> '''''
A careful study Of the details Of the
results IN the municipal contests
proves how thoroughly independently
the people have voted and how recl;-
Iessly they have broken the marty
races. Cleveland elected a Republi-
can Mayor by nearly I 900 and elected |
a Democratic City Treasurer and =
Democratic Police Judge bv maioritias
OF 1000 and 300. In Cincinnati tLo
Republicans elected the Mavor bv |
1000 and the Democrats elect the |
IoIlce Judge by some 1000. In Toledo |
the Republicans lost the NJavor and |
Giecled the other leading officers In |
ITihcetoh the Democrats elected the
mayor and The Republicans the rest of
'he ticket. In st. Louis party lines
We're generally broken un ana rLn

ex.cut,v. Committee Meeting.

Eleven members Of the Republican eIecu-
tive committee attended the meeting last
evening, in secretary Goodwin's Office, called
to make further arrangements for the dele
gate election and convention of the Gath and
25th instants. The principal discussion ofthe
evening was upon the question Of represents
ton of the colored vote. A portion Of that
element of the party had received the i'm
preston somehow that under the plan adopted
for choosing delegates to the convention they
would, or might be deprived of their proper
representation, and the scheme was devised of
having separate ballot boxes at all the places
for colored votes; the cslored voters to be
entitled TO as many delegates as indicated
by the vote thus cast subject to
the ratio adopted BY the Central Committee
last Saturday. The plan received majority
vote OF those present last night four voting
against it, and is declared adopted. The un-
derstanding therefore is there will be no
"mixing" of ballots at the delegate election.
The meeting made arrangements for print
ing directions and instructions as to manner
Of conducting the election, for distribution,
and for supply of blanks upon which to write
names OF delegates. Arrangements were al
SO made for defraying necessary expenses of
the election and convention, BY equitable as
sessment on candidates. The session was .
lively one and the committee ad-
iourned at late hour.

was little doubt a. to the strength OF the
evidence against the accused, whose connec-
ton with Rhodes may have been 90 nearly

while the former engaged the attention Of the

hid them under his coat. They left and it is
supposed the pants did not fit either of them,
Is in about an hour they returned and said
they wanted to exchange them for another
pair. The pants had been missed and the
two fellows were asked how much they paid
for them. They said sl.5O, which is 81 more
than the price asked for them. Capt. Billy

writes: "' found Mishler's Herb Bitters the

ease, indigestion, stomach disorders, and
nervous complaints, are equally emphatic and

Shamus O'Brien is one of the most daring

twenty-three years of age, has made bad
record. He was sent to the penitentiary from
Springfield when but sixteen years of age, for
knocking . man down on the public streets
in day leht and robbing him. He received
eighteen months sentence for it. He was only
out short time until he was arrested here
for highway robbery, and was again sent to
the psnitentiary for three years and half
His term expired only q year ago. Besides
the two terms in the penitentiary he has had
a number of Jail sentences for petty offences
He now says that he has been over the road
twice and before he will 90 again he will die
He ID heavily armed and is not slow to use
arms, when necessary. Ne~comb, the man
he accidentally shot, was arrested here once
for horse stealing and taken to Dayton, where
he was Q member Of the famous Blackburn
gang and was sent to the penitentiary.
