A LITTLE AGITATION.

Last Sunday evening, regardless of the storm and cold, there was d goodly company of German Social lsts and their friends, both German and American, gathered in IIarugari Hall to hear MT. Otto Reimer, ex- member of the German Parliament, discourse upon the advance of So- cialism in America. His remarks were attentively listened to and highly appreciated, and his declara- tlon that the work of Socialists must and will continue until wage-slavery is abolished, was heartily concurred in and applauded. Excellent sing ing by the Harugari Liedertafel, and an artistic rendering of the Second Concerto of Spohr (tirst and second movements) by Prof. Balck, with Prof. Eager accompanist, added to the pleasure of the occasion.

Defeated: Not by the eternal Though
 fraud and corruption were strong; When discipline, power and riches were
 called to the aid of the wrong; uniiinching the phalanX of Labor met
 every assault of the foe,
 And stood with their columns unbroken
 all the day in the cold and the snow. Defeated? Not so! Let them ponder
 the lesson the battle has taught. That Labor will ever remember her cap
 tains and legions unbought; And solemn and deep was the warning
 that rang in old New Haven town. That the Party of Labor had sounded
 the Party that never will down. For it told of an erG, new -dawning, when poverty, ghastly and grim,
 Shall no more for the toiler a chalice of
 misery fill to the brim;
 Defeated? We stand as the victors, and
 ours is the joyous reclaim:
 Hurrah for the Party of Labor, and blest
 be it's object and name.
 The battle of the ballots is over, and the result Is that that portion of the capitaiistic party called democratic" will for, the most part have the great pleasure of say ing that they voted for the fellows who were elected. To be sure this will not fill their stomachs nor pro- cure them anything but the con tempt of honest men, unless, in- ,aeed. we may except the pity with which Socialists regard the dupes of the ruling class. The working men who voted the capitalistic tick cts, it is but fair to believe, were honest men, and thought that they were doing right. As time goes on, and they apply some of their time to study of their interests, the hope lessness of betterment in their con- dition under existing circumstances will become apparent, and they will come out from the corrupt old wings of the capitalistic party and swell the ranks of the young and vigorous Labor Party-the party of honest politics, which in due time will usher in new order of things and secure to the workingman the re- suits of his toll.
 The following table shows the vote of last Tuesdays city election, taking the vote for mayor as a basis:
Workmen's advocate., 1886-12-12

that of the Ninth Ward for George Goerlng, for alderman, which was eleven votes more than were cast for our nominee for mayor. Com paratvely few of the Labor tickets were "scratched," the Labor men casting their votes more for princi- pies than for men. This being the case, and the endorsement of correct principles and the Labor Platform being Of more moment than the rec ord of votes for individual candi- dates, we shall spare our readers the waste of figures, and ourselves the useless labor of printing them.
 One thing was made plain to the noble men who sacrificed their time and days wages on election day, and that was that the conditions and customs of our elections are very nnfavorable to the workingmen, and decidedly in favor of the wealthy and their political heelers. Not to say anything of the cost of ballots and necessary printing and the loss ol days work and wages for active workers, the fact that many of our voters must walk great distances to get to the polls is matter that de- serves serious attention. And vet there seems to be no remedy save that of continued sacrifice on the part of the workers till they can elect majority to represent them in the law making bodies. And when worklngmen come to realize the solid benefits to be obtained, they will readily make sacrifices in order to gain control of the government. They must adrance or they are doomed to greater trials and more hopeless conditions than those which environ them to-day.

THE VOTE FOR MAYOR,

The vote for Ward representatives to the City Council was about the the same, and the vote for Town officers was about 200 less. For reasons not of particular value to the Labor Party, some of our candi- dates received more votes than our candidate for mayor, but it is req sOnable to calculate upon the may orality vote as basis for compari- son. This gives the Labor Party a gain of nearly 1000 over the vote cast for Governor at the election last month. Not a bad showing for a months agitation, and a satisfac- tory and healthy vote that augurs we'll for the future, provided the workingmen do their duty in the way of permanent political organiza- tion.
 The largest labor vote cast for members of the City Council was
