Town Election.

The town election came Off on Mon.
day. The day was one of excessive
rain and wind, but they managed to
get up rather spirited election not
withstanding, the vote polled being
1852 as against 81 last year. Without
any special issue there were five tick
cts, three of them in the main distinct
from each other. The efforts of GER
tain parties to cut Alderman Budd had
most perhaps to do with calling outthe
large vote, and added to this was Tay-

PRESIDENT HARRISON and Vice
President Morton were inaugu-
rated Monday with the usual GER
emonies. The President read his
inaugural from a platform in
front of the capitol building, in
presence of a vast crowd, which
had gathered in spite of the driv-
ing rain storm. The inaugural
procession was the largest and.
in spite Of the storm. the most
imposing Of the kind ever seen
in Washington.
President HarrisOn's inaugural
makes two things very plain.
He insists upon the maintenance
OF the protective system, and
upon Federalinterferencewiththe
elections for Congressman in the
Southern States. Protection is
urged as necessary to the indus
trial prosperity Of the South, and
reconstruction as necessary to its
political emancipation.
He rejects the suggestion of a
special executive policy for anv
section Of our country, but indi-
Gates a disposition to welcome
legislation looking to federal SUI
pervisiOn of congressional cleo
tions. In the South the inefi-
cheney of a certain class of voters
IS much spoken of. "If." saws
the President, Gin any of the
States the public security is
thought to be threatened by ig-
norance among the electors, the
obvious remedy is education" "
Election frauds, such as those of
New York and Indiana. are de-
precated in severe terms, and the
just view is expressed that "a
party success achieved by unfair
methods, or by practices that
partake of revolution, is hurtful
and evanescent even from a
party standpoidt" Turning from
these great issues, the President
advises a modification of our nat
urallZatiOn laws with the object
OF restricting the gift of citizen
ship to worthy immigrants: in
slsts upon the assertion of Amer
lean predOminance over the 18th /
mian canal and the maintenance
OF rights acquired by this gov
ernment in Samoa ; discredits
the idea that a treasury surplus
IS the greatest of evils, and sug-
gests that so much of it as re-
mains after a suitable reduction
OF our revenues may be wisely |
spent or used in the purchase of |
government bonds. The enlarge
ment of the navy, the need of |
more liberal pension laws, and !
the admission of four new States |
are topics that are briefly treated. |
The most welcome feature of the
address to many readers will be
the strong declaration in favor of
the maintenance and strict OBJ
servance of the civil-service laws
Importantly, ofice-seekers are
informed, will not further their
chances. There is something ON
nous IN the declaration that "re-
movals from Office will diminish"
only so far as the incumbents re-
celve the approval of the oppo-
sltlon for impartiality and in
tegrity."
1t is all in all an address full of
encouragement to the country
promising a strong and robust
administration, recognizing the
magnitude of the country it's
multifariOus interests and con-
stantly increasing requirements
IL will appeal to the best iudp-
ment of the common peopie
which is always to be trusted
And beyond and above all this IS
the character of General Harri-
son himself, with which the peo-
pie have become well acquainted
and which of itself is a pledge of
tne highest purpose in the adj
"a inIinlstration. That will meet all
the demands Of the people.

OF ILLINOIS, To BE SECRETARY OF
THE NAVY.

John r. Thomas, of Metropolis, ILL.,
| nOis, is named confidently as secretary
of the navy in the next administra
ton. He was born at Mount Vernon,
Jefferson county, Illinois, October IL,
1916. His education was received at
the common school. He fought in the
Union army, in the same corps with
the president-elect, enlisting as pri-
vate soldier. At the close of the civil
war he was Captain Thomas. Return
ing to civil life he read for admission
to the bar and in 1869 signed the roll
as an attorney of the state of Illinois.
From 1872 to 1876 Mr.. Thomas was
states attorney. He was elected a
member of the house of representa-
tives in the forty-siXth and four subse-
quent congresses, but was not cam
didate for the fifty-first.
Mr.. Thomas has interested himself
in shipping affairs. He once claimed
to have designed a naval vessel unas-
sisted. The claim was not allowed by
the committee on naval affairs, and
the senate struck his name out of the
naval approp riatiOn bill. He suisse
quently wrote letter, printed in the
Congressional Record, reasserting his
claim
