The loss OF tbc CITY government next ., ring.
During the Wells aud Walker campaign the
present postmaster OF this city was chAir-
man a. the City Democratic Executive
Committee, and organized the Democratic
workers into hundreds and tens, over
whom captains were appointed. Their
duty was 10 see that every Democratic
votef IN the brrifory allotted them was
registered and voted. The wisdom az the
plan vss 20 illustrated In iis successful cx-
eCution That II has ever since been In vogue
here Until The election Yesterday. On this
occasion the cid plan was forsaken, Bnd no
effort Vas made 10 bring The careless or in.
different 10 the polls--a class that exists in
cN0v community, and who always
expect such attentions. No mounted
COuricfs. ~ az old were provided 70 carry
the names Of bose who had voted % head
quarters. In order 20 ascertain who had not

Hopkrnsifes and their Radical and negro
allies were organized fully and provided
with the necessary vehicles with which 20
bring up the lame, halt. and blind, and by
this mems they brought on; almost, II not
quite the iull negro strength. only five Of
whom cast Democratic ballot. This latter

sisieni work 10 overcome the mischief
wrought bv this defeat II the CITY govern

yolvcd. Is 10 be kept out OF the hands OF
the irresponsible classes next spring; and
il may then be found that IL little more
activity and devotion 10 daty had been ex-
ercised Yesterday ii would have gyerfed
more easily that which could not fail %
prove calamity 10 property ana

favorable % HOpkius's having carried the
district, though we hope Tor better things.
