THE movement for the publication of poll

The undisputed rule of the Democracy there
for years past has brought the usual results,

at last they are likely to work their own cure.
A citizens committee of 100 has been organ
lied in New Orleans composed of citizens of
high standing, for the avowed purpose of Sc
curing honest elections and good government
in that city. The committee has issued an
eve appeal to you body of citizens, COM
prising all shades of political opinion and all

and employes-seeking tho private or party

the laws which are deemed essential to secure
fair elections, and lacking which, it says,

right way. The first step towards political
reform everywhere is to secure fair elections
and an honest count. These are fundamental,
and without them all efforts at reform are
fruitless There is an excellent field in New

THE politics of Salt Lake consists of Nor
monism and anti Mormonism. The Mormons
have 1900 votes there, and the gentiles 1000.
but the former have always been able to carry
everything because they vote solid, and the
voting is cumulative instead of by districts
There are no ward divisions in Salt Lake. In
view of the solid majority of the Mormon
party. there is some surprise at their recent
action in offering four places on the city ticket
to the gentiles. At Mormon convention,
held a few days ago, to nominate city ticket
resolutions were passed recognizing the fact
that .'our political opponents, though forming
but minority of the voting population, con-
tribute to the public revenue by the payment
of taxes, and include within their number
many citizens who are permanent residents of
this city and Territory, and that they should,
therefore, be accorded fair representation in the
management of public affairs" It was there
fore decided to leave four vacancies the
city ticket, viz: one alderman and three
councilmen, to be filed by gentiles. The lat
ter have accepted the overture, and the result

Monday. The gentiles are divided in opinion
as to whether the proposition indicates that
Mormonism is on the wane and is intended to
propitiate the growing power of the opposition
Ia tub to a whale-or whether it covers some
cunning scheme in connection with the move
ment for admission to the Union. But with
out scrutinizing the motive too closely, the
anti-Mormons we're prompt to accept the
proposition that gives them four representa-
tives in the city government, where they had
none before. Perhaps the gentiles are not
absolutely devoid of political craft

THE MEXICAN BANDITS.
General Garcia Lays s Heavy Hand Upon

General John Nj. Bald win has jus. re- | oeived letter from Durango, Mexico | which informs him that General Garcia
 has dealt sweepingly with the Befnsl bauditg, havIng, as the writer Ot the let ter is informed, killed over 300 of their | number. Vicente Bacerra, the last one 1 remaining of the gang of sssassins who murdered General Baldwin's brother,
 yss caught in the latter part Uf February
 and Gi posed of. He was caught at his
 old stamping ground, where his mother.
 brothers and sisters are living. Hs r, sist- ed and was shot twice. Another man
 was with hiLa and was sent to General Garcia, who was stationed at CasslO, in the State of SlnalOa, where he IS beiiev- ed to have been executed.
 The grand chief, Bernsi, was surprised and badly wounded. Finding there was DO escape, he blew hi5 own brains out. He WIS surprised and shot by rsDchero, partly through revenge, as he had killed his brother, but mainly, DO doubt, for the reward of SlOO0 that had been plsc- et on his head.
 "General Gsrcls," says the latter, "has now been in charge some four months, and the Goverment claims that over three hundred of the followers of Der nal, or of those who aided or assisted him, have been killed. If this Is so it is more than were killed in the ten previous years, and shows great negligence on the governments part in not doing thIs be- fore. ins,ead If letting those outlaws rule fer tea years or mo5e. The people how ever, say that nt the three hundred claim ed to have been killed, many of them were IaLoesnt, because -hey were forced tO furnish supplies 70 the bandits. I have no doubt there were many of that kInd, for they had no protection from the government, and were therefore at the Dsrcy of the bandits. A few weeks ago sn American amed Woods. who has a ranch some sixty miles from Ventanas m su out of the Way place was arrested by the mllitaTv for furnishing supplies to the band 's. i De fact k, be had DO op- ton.
