PARKERsBURG ELECTION.
Democrats Get the Mayor and n Member
OF Council.-Republicans Scoop the
Sp,ciaI 10 the Register.

Rest.
Special 10 the Register.
PARKERsBURG, January 1.-THE city
election Saturday closed one OF the most
earnestly contested municipal campaigns
ever conducted in Parkers5Urg, and will
pass into history as one unparalleled Tor
hard work on the part of the candidates
and their friends. In the face Of the blind
ing snow and piercing blasts of the furious
blizzard which swept down over the city
during the entire day, the work was kept
up and every inch Of ground was closely
watched, while every opportunity was Of
fered for free ballot and fair count.
Most of the effective work was done by the
Democrats in open meeting, the Repub'
licans work was effected IN
the Sherif's office adjoining the
court room, where the voting took place.
Here and there Ike H. Johnston and few
other earnest Prohibition workers were to
be seen quietly at work, but the results
show that it was a bad day for the temper
ance cause. When the special was sent
the REGIsER that indications pointed to
Democratic success, it looked that way,
but later in the evening the tables turned
aud the results show a scoop fer the Re
publicans with the exception Of the May
or and one member Of Council, Hon W.
n. Chancellor. the gallant standard bearer
of the Democracy, was elected by i3 ma
ority over one of the most popular Repub
lcaus in the city-Capt {. B. Smith -
who has been often sud favorably meu'
toned as the next Republican for Con-
gress in the Fourth district.
j. NJ. Mckinney, the fortunate Democrat
from the Fourth ward who got there, is a
member Of the Commercial Oil Company
and well fitted for the position to which he
has been elected by such complimentary
vote. The count was not concluded until
about two o'clock this morning and resul'e
as follows: For Mayor, C. b. Smith, f.,
SO; W. y. Chancellor, d, 6l3. Fer
Council, R. Wild, R., go; W. Eroman, r

above Vroman, Thomas and Fischer are
members OF the last Council, and although
the old Coancil has been ceusured by both
parties, it seems that the dear people have
endorsed their official acts by a reelection.
The Recorder elect, Thos s. Conley, i;

Important Circular From President
Smith of the Flint Giass Workers.
President Smith, OF the American Flint
Glass Workers Union, has issued the fol
loving circular, which has been forwarded
to every lodge in the country;
in accordance with regulations made by
the American Flint Glass Workers Union,
anl in obedience to its direction, we re-
spectfuly inform you that there will Re a
cessation OF work by the employees in all
the manufactures, commencing on Jsnu,
ary 80, and continuing until August |,
lss6. The organization has been induced
to take this step because II believes that
the came will be advantageous to both
employer and employe, and trusts that it
will be mutually satisfactory. To sub
stantiate the opinion that this belief is o
correct one, the following reasons are pre-
sented
First-There must be time set apart,
annually at least in order that alterations,
improvements aud necessary repairs may
be made, and no better time for such eur'
p5scs can be secured that that Of the
helted season,
Second-The organization is aware that
every we'll regulated establishment selects
time, annually, At which it takes st0ek,
and believes that this season is more suit
able than any other, Gs it will enable all tc
take the rest simultaneously, which is SC
much needed, and will place all msnufac'
turers and employee upon an equal basis
no one being able to take an advantage o.
another.
. 5tFourth-The stoppagr Of work for on'
month in each year will not uureasonabIy
affect production, and may aid in giving
more constant employment during the
working season. The stopPage having
been made by all, and at the same season
can affect no one person or firm more IN
iuriously than the other, but as we view tn,
matter, will be beneficial to oil, and vii
aii in promoting and preserying that mu
tual good feeling which should always ex
ist between the employer and employed
