publicans, uniting with the spirited, tireess and
hopeful Republicans of the southern precincts,
made victory certain. 1t was a day on which
the quiet vote did the work.
RECEIVING THE GOOD NEWS.
At the Republican committee rooms and the
newspaper offices the Republicans began to jubi
late, not extravagantly or bostrously, but with
fervor becoming the occasion as the result be-
came known. The visitors to the Journal Office
were numerous. They came expecting to hear
good news, and no one, not even the dozen or
more Democrats who were of the number, went
away dissatisfied The handshakings upon the
streets, as little informal ward delegations met
and exchanged news of victory were something
exceedingly pleasant to look upon. Later on
and it was understood that the vic
tory was ore of wholesome magni-
tude an impromptu glee club was
formed. At the committee rooms the boys were
feeling real good, on the best of terms with
themselves and all mankind. A half dozen
Democrats who had been conspcuously active
for Mr.. Many CHANGED to come into the room to
hear the returns They were headed by Henry
Geisel, long power In the Democratic ranks
and as they appeared they were greeted with
three rousing cheers. and the right hand OF fell
lowship was extended to them The returns, as
they came in, were read by General Carnahan
whose good humor was in keeping with the oc-
casion, and each announcement of gains-and the
news was about all one way-was received with
hearty applause
THE RESULT IN THE OUTSIDE TowSsHIPsi
The election in the country townships was
marked by the quierness that distinguished the
vote in Center. The results in the following

deep interest for the betterment of township
service did not stay altogether within the
precincts of Center. Washington township
elected Henry n HassonS, Republican, trustee
by 90 majority, and Whitmeyer, Republican, as
SCISSOR. by 168 majority The vote in Warren
township was It's for Hunter, Democratic
trustee, GO for S. johnson, and 81 for Fisher,

The craze reached Chicago early, as every in
each division and the outlying suburbs. A street.
car siable was hurriedly changed into spin

great clothing man on one of the boulevards, and
in yet another section changes were made In q

etors of these places many of them utterly nm
principled-would hire professionally and sspro-
fessors.' According to the custom in vogue,
these men, being accomplished skaters, could
salute any lady on the floor and act az her
escort. No introduction was necessary and
such being the freedom, there was seldom objec.
ton to the casual acquaintance. The result
was inevitable The festive professional ran off
with the married woman who should
have known better, aud the exercise was varied
occasionally by an escapade with a young girl
who had even less than the average amount of
sense. Two of the leading Kinks in Chicago are
for rent, and the man in Muncie who gathered
in his gains is presumably in great luck. The
harvest is over.

There is town in Indiana called Muucie. II
is a county-seat, and presides over the local ter
rtory known as the bailiwick of Delaware.
In the burg referred to is very quiet, unassum-
ing citizen, and not one man in ten thousand
would imagine for a moment that here lived and
lives man to whom q goodly portion of the
United States has been paying tribute for
four long years. He is one of the principal
patentees of the roller skate, and every youth
and every maiden who has glided around on the
smooth and fascinating floor has left donation
to fill his Golfers. The stipend was small but
the aggregate was immense and to-day the
lucky inventor is worth not less than million
dollars.
He still pegs on however. in the even tenor of
his way, and there is neither variableness nor
shadow of turning. He has the dollars aud pro
poses to keep them The query naturally arises
to whether the unknown Hoosier was liable TO
be Vanderbilt, Gould, a Huntington, Gar
rett, or even Phil Armour or Alex Mitchell.
After careful examination of the surroundings
it would appear that the bottom of the skating
rink craze had fallen out, and that with 1t has
dropped the great profits on the roller patent.
Like the revenue on the toy-ball or the snap
sleeve button the gleanings have been minimized.

JEFF DAVIS,

From the closing words Of JEFF
Davis's speech, at Montgomery, at
the dedication of the monument to
the dead soldiers of Alabama, these
are taken as a sample Of his style:
Mothers, wives and daughters chok-
ing back their tears, cheered them on
the path of honor and duty. With
fearless tread these patriots unframed
to war advanced on the many battle
fields to look death in the face.
Though Alabama, like Niobe, must
turn to her children in death, yet is
her woe tempered by the glorious
halo which surrounds their memory.
For more than century after his
death it is said that Philip Deva-
logue's name was borne on the roll
Of Grenadiers to whom he belonged,
and when his name was called it was
answered from the ranks snort sur lie
champs d'honneur" dead upon the
field of honor Long, very long,
would be the list which would contain
the names of Alabama's SONS whose
valor and fidelity would justify the
same response. To name a few would
be unjust to the many. They are
all therefore left where they secured
repose, in the hearts of grateful
people This monument will rest
up m the land for which they died aud
point upward to the Father who
knows the motives as we'll as the deeds
of His children who are at last resting
in the land where that justice may be
rendered, which may have been de-
MED them here. In conclusion per-
NIT me to say, though the memory of
our glorious past must ever be dear
to us, duty points to the present and
future. Alabama having resumed her
place in the Union, be it yours to
fulfill all the obligations devolvIng
upon all good citizens, seeking to re-
store the general government to its
pristine purity AMI. as best You may,
to promote the welfare and happiness
of your common country.
AS soldier who followed the Con.
federate flag from Manassas to Apo

Gated and settled adversely to hin
