There Is little 70 be said this morning
Of the result Of the election. except that
Republicans have helped to defeat n
Republican ticket.
The second, Third and Tenth wards,
which one year ago gave a Republican
plurality Of T5O for Watkins for mayor,
this spring give Edwin +. Uhl plu-
rality of i23-a change Of s73 votes, IN
what last year we're two Republican
wards.
The first mistake was made by the
city convention n making a nomina-
ton without first positively knowing
that It's nominee would accept the
honor.
: Mr.. WesselIus is showed under by
one of the largest majonties ever be-
fore cast against candidate for Office
IN the city of Grand Rapids. Ii is very
doubtful, however, whether any other
man could have been found who would
have done better after the fssco st the
first meeting OF the convention.
The nomination was not sought by
Mr.. Wessellu., in fact il took the com
mit,ee who waited upon him several
hours 10 convince him that ne should
make TIE run for the good of MS party
and be should have held every Repub
lean vote in the city on this account
IL on no other.
Republican votes are not entirely re
sponsible for bis defeat, however, bu
have helped to swell the majority o
his opponent
Edwin F. Uhl Will be the next Mayo
OF Grand Rapids, by something more
than = handsome majority, and th'
TELEoRAM- HERALD n frank enough 4
say that he vii make 4 good mayor
He Is the peoples choice and the peo
pie are entitled 70 have their own way
They have also given him a stron,
Democratic majority IN the council
We sincerely trust that the mayor and
council VIII be earnest IN promoting th
material welfare Of the city, in improy
ing the streets, payements and side
walks, IN devsing some better waite
supply aud IN urging upon the Fedora
authorizes the necessity OF tns i'm
provement OF Grand River. In al
these efforts they will find q hearty 90

Sure to Go.

A member of the Constitutional
Convention has said it and now we
are sure to lose the Capital. Let us
sit in sackcloth and ashes and pray
that our greatest blessing may not be
taken from us, and it may perhaps
De that the heart of the aforesaid
member will relent and he be induced
to recall his dreadful words.
The fates have decreed that a pack
age of envelopes shall be the turning
point in Frankfort's history. After
having enjoyed the society of the
Legislature and Constitutional Con-
ventions for nearly century, to have
them lost for such a trivial matter,
But fate works strangely and it's de-
crees must stand.
The cause Of the wrath of the pow
ers that be being hurled upon our de-
voted heads is this: Soon after the
meeting of the Convention a member
went into one Of the stores in the
city to buy a package Of envelopes.
For this he was charged ten cents.
Turning wrathfully upon the sales
man the great statesman disdainfully
remarked: "Ha! That same package
of envelopes can be had in Louisville
for five cents. If that is the way you
propose to gouge us we will remove
the Capital to Louisville" And
mark the man well, he will be re-
membered by future generations to
be cursed and execrated as the cause
Of all our woes-the hateful salesman
haughtily remarked swell let her
go then-but ten cents please"
