defeated by 80 majority. This is greatly to be
regretted for the defeated candidate-A. G.
GORDON. the present incumbent-is recognized
as one of the best Mayors the city has ever had.
and it is bad policy to turn an officer out who
has discharged the duties of his office with
ability honesty, firmness and fidelity, without
"fear, favor or affection" Though he did not
win success. he did more-he deserved it. He
has not so much cause Of regret at the result of
the election as the citizens whose interests he
so faithfully protected and preserved.
The Primary nominee for Com monwealth' s
Attorney-A. G. Braxton-had no opposition
after the Primary election.
The Primary nominee for City Treasurer
Arista Hoge--was elected by 70 majority,
though to defeat him was the special object of
the man who is more responsible than any
other for the organization of the opposition to
the Primary ticket. His election under the

The city has cause for congratulaton on his
election, for he is a competent and faithful Of
ficer, in an office in which those qualities are
especially essential.

delivered lecture last Thursday night in the
Hall of Dunsmore's Business College on the
Moon and its influence on the sea-" The lect
ure was quite interesting, and was enjoyed by
q large audience. He showed how the tides
were caused by the mutual attraction of the
sun and neon and the waters upon the earth
what caused high and low tides-and how they
were affected by the configuration of the coast
causing the tides to be much higher in some
localities than in others.
In compliance with request. he explained
the seeming anomaly that whilst we are on
the 5Sth degree of North latitude and the sun
never gets higher than 231a degrees. yet the
