ECHOES OF THe ELECTION.

Some of the echoes Of the Republican
election for nomination of candidates are
amusing aud some are instructive. Some
are neither amusing nor instructive; In
fact great deal depends on the stand
point from which the carnage is viewed.
Viewing it from the standpoint of
decent white man, the So called election,
conducted in bold defiance OF rules, prece
dents and justice, with bribed negroes
herding about the polls, was disgust
ing travesty. Many decent white man
stayed away from the polls and many went
to turn away after they saw the sweat
ing and stinking crowd
Viewed from the standpoint of the
anti Higgins men the result is matter
Of sickly and Intellectual satisfaction.
These men are rejoiced to see Three
ofiiced and Triple salaried Bach beaten
and the candidate he set up under in.
struction, knocked out. But that salts
faction does not create any very strong
heart pulsations when IL is regarded as
settled that Bach is to have the post
office anyhow.
The fact that Bach would have great
difficulty in executing penal bond will
not cut any figure, because Senator Hig
| gins has only to suggest to few rich
| subsidy beggars or some of these tariff
robbers, who are benefciaries of Senator
| Higginss prospective votes, that it would
be well for them to endorse the bond and
they will fall over each other to get their
| potent names upon it. Consequently IL
Mr.. Councilman Roberts is liable
to burst blood vessel and
the Morning News crowd intends to
break up the Republican party because
Bach is to have the post office for his
patriotic work among our niggers, they
had better begin TO burst and break up
now, for they will gain so much time by
beginning early. Bach is slated for the
post office Stones subsidy literature and
Mahaffy's Sunday school racket are poles
too short to knock the persimmon.
That colorod patriot and Deputy Chief
of Police, Asbury Sterling, is under
strong suspicion Of being paid for his
services in cash on election day. But he
was not paid enough, or his influence
was over estimated, for skinny Hamil-
ton, a distinguished, not to say notoriou:
colored razor. r.hourishing Republican
statesman from New York, knocked the
guileless and not well-enough paid As
bury out, in the Seventh ward
skinny" has several ways of inhu
encing votes, and sometimes is quit,
radical in his mode of treatment fol
colored patriots who set too high
value upon the right of suffrage. He
being nonresident, could safely cut o.
cuff a recalicitrant negro into perfect
agreement, while Asbury was getting
ready to state the amount o
his argument. Consequently skinny
beat Asbury in the noble and elevatinl
work of saving the county with bough
and influenced votes. But Asbury vii
still remain under this beautiful reforr
city administration as a sort of deput

a keep the money; he will tur

and itching paws offering himself an
his friends at so much per caput. h
