The diamond drill., 1888-04-07

The day OF the election OF township
officers has again come and gone, leaving
in it's wake men who are proud of their
gain at the hands OF their friends and
through their own popularity, and again
men who do not feel quite so proud or
satisfied over the result as they might
possibly be under different circumstan-
ces, but then such things are always ex-
pected and while not welcomed are
accepted because there is realIy'no help
for it, and SO the defeated candidate soon
forgets his soreness and by the coming Of
another spring Is ready TO again place
himself in the hands OF his friends for
better or for worse. The day came in
like lamb but with a total OF 45, 900
tickets among the several candidates and
their friends, it was plain to be seen
that il would not retire in thequiet man
ner in which II was ushered in On the
contrary, following the opening OF the
polls the political wind began to whistle
through the whiskers :of the voters, first
only gentle spring-like zephyrs, then as
the day got older the wind raised anotch
or two, possibly more, and ere the noon
hour had arrived a regular New York
blizzard swept the length and breadth OF
the city, OfIice-seekers, electioncerers
and workers got right down to business
in true style and made things just ever
Iastingly howl, and this state of things
did not abate IN the least until the hour
for closing the polls arrived when a gem
eral rest was ordered. II was decidedly
the most hotly contested and hard
fought election ever held in this town
ship, the result showing that the fight
was close one and followed inch by
inch 20 the end, yet everything was quiet
and very orderly throughout, but one or
two arrests being made and those. were
boys from the woods who could not
resist the temptation TO let themselves
out little on such glorious occasion
when refreshments were SO cheap. The
voting at precinct No. was very quiet.
Following is the full vote cast, total FROM
both precincts, together with the major
tiles or pluralities Of successful candi-
dates:

The Convention Of tho Americas shipping
and Industrial League and Its Expected
Action.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16-The convention
Of the American Shipping and Industrial
League. now in : = sion in this city, prom
ises to be one Of the most important
meetings Of the kind ever held in Amer
lea Delegates from every leading
Board Of Trade and commercial bodv in
the country are In attendance Hon.
Joseph Wheeler, Of Alabama, Is presi.
dent.
Representative Dingley, Of Maine. when
asked - TO the probable action Of the
convention. said: ut will probably ap.
prove the Neglsy bill introduced in Con
gress by General Negley, Of Psnnsyl.
vania- This bill proposes almost exactly
the same line Of policy adopted some five
years ago BY France with wonderful sue
cess. 1t provides that every American
vessel. sail or steam, which trades with
foreign ports shall Be Allowed thirty
cents per ton for each thousand
miles sailed or steamed for . period Of
twenty years, one-third reduction OF this
rate TO be made at the end Of the first ten
years from the date on which The act
went into effect. In France the effect Of
similar legislation has been startling.
The French are not essentially . mara.
time nation, but their foreign trade has
Increased enormously. Italy has with.
in the last two years adopted
. similar policy, and it, beneficial
results are already visible. England sub
sidiEes only m~ail-carrying lines but she
pays heavily for this service, and at the
same time holds those lines ready for q
naval reserve. We are liable At a time,
in Ease Of q foreign war in which England
d involved, to ses the Cunarders and
other swift transatlantic hips
withdrawn without . word Of warning
and our commerce seriously crippled.
The Negiey bill will probably Be- pushed
by the League convention, but The
Whitthorne bill will be stronger
before Congress, and in some form
will undoubtedly pass the House. This
bill. introduced by Representative Whit.
thorne, Of Tennessee. proposes TO create I
naval reserve corps from the seamen on
American ships, steamers and yachts;
second, 20 pay = bounty TO al steamships
built on lines approved BY the Secretary
Of the Navy Of 90 much per Thousand
miles steamed BY this plan . feet Of
