The ice in Thunder Bay broke loose
from the shore, abreast the city, last
Sunday evening, and the strong nor.
therly wind began to move 1t towards
the lake. Some excitable person
started the report that two Polander;
were on the floating ice, they having
been fishing. The alarming news
soon spread through the city, and
many persons turned out to see what
could be done to get the men off the
floating ice. In the meantime Cap
tain Henderson, Charles Parks and
Chris Taunt, manned yawl boat and
started after the drifting ice cake
They soon discovered that there were
no men on the ice, and that the alarm
was false one. When the rescuing
party went out, Mr.. Howard, the
lighthouse keeper, lighted the lamp
in the lighthouse, at the mouth o.
the river. On Monday the alarm
was again given that men were on
the ice signaling for assistance, Hell
was sent, but the alarm proved bogus
The ice did not go out far.

THE ELECTION RESULTS.

Ill ifOiN ttGoo "
The political struggle OF 1886 came
to close last Tuesday evening. At
this writing but little is known of the
result in the country at large, but such
reports as have been received indicate
large republican gains ali through the
east. In this state with four tickets in
the field, it is hard to say what the
result will be, though the Republican
ticket will no doubt be elected, but it
would be useless to guess at the ma
jority.
The vote in this county has saved to
the Republican column, the county
by one majority for Governor Rusk.
Mr.. Price for Congress has eight ma
jority over Bracklin and the highest
vote but two given for any one out
side of the county ticket.
On the county ticket the fight was
almost entirely confined to the
offices of Sheriff for which there were
FIVE candidates, ard to that of Clerk of
Court, the contestants being Charles
Lord, present incumbent, and S. +.
Tubbs, our late postmaster Some Of
the Democratic leaders, to save their
reputation with the powers that be,
strained every nerve to beat Mr.
Tubos, but his friends stood by him
manfully and he won the race by Is
points, Sixty Republicans voted for
Mr. Lord, but Mr.. Tubbs had friends
in the camp of the enemy, and they
stood by him nobly all day and out
numbered those of his own faith who
went against him purely to vent a
personal spite To these Democrats
who dared to vote for good man in
defiance of party orders, we, for our
selves and also for Mr. Tubbs, return
thanks.
The vote on .issemblyman was a
surprise to some who thought they
knew all about how things were going.
Take the county rs whole and there
is probably not five men in it who
would voluntarily vote for Mr. Taylor,
the republican nominee, but because
he was the nominee, and for this rea-
son only, most piteous appeals were
made to the republicans to swallow
the bitter pill just once more, but 1S2
is good republicans as draw breath in
the State, positively refused 10 do so,
and that number put themselves on
record as opposed to political trickery
and deception i'll whatever party, thus
giving Mr.. Strong, the independent
candidate, a majority of SO over Mr..
Taylor. If the republican party OF
This Assembly or Senatorial district
want straight republican vote in
Douglas county, it must nominate
good men, men the people can feel
safe IN trusting. 1t will not do to try
10 shoYe such rubbish as C. S. Taylor
down their t!,roats Whatever the re-
suits in thi. direction NAV be. we have
no apologies to make for the part the
TIMES has taken in the warfare. When
our party is right we are with it, when
i Is wrong we will oppose ii. The
vote 10 this county last Tuesday was
as follows. the scattering vote being
omitted in this review, but they with
the three prohibition votes, will appear
in the official report.
