A RegIstration and Election Depart
ment has also been created for Will
mington alone to be carried on under
three commissioners. 1t was given out
that It was non-partlsan and that it
was to lift the elections out of the
mire of politics and up on the plane
of honesty. But what do we behold7
Almost the first action OF the Demo-
cratic majority of the commissioners
was to appoint as their clerk, and the
man who will have the most OF the
work to do, the man who is to advise
the commissioners, who7
One OF the hundred honest Demo-
Gratis who would have been glad to
have the Office and who would have
acted in an honest mannerY Oh no
WHO then? Frank A. McCloskey the
thimble rigging cx-assesser OF the &c.
cond district Of Wilmington the man
who was the chief cause Of the City
hall assessment riots, IN lsSS, when
Mayor Rhoad's police with drawn pis
to Is drove Republicans from the as
sessment tables. This is the man ap-
pointed TO carry out the new law. Let
the sun robe itself in mourning and
the heavens weep calling tears. The
thud and knocks out what respectable
ity the law had. Yet the people are
asked to be law abiding. Yes, law
abiding, with John L. Dickey graphing
the law by the throat and choking
honesty out Of it Law abiding. with
Patrick Neary pulling tine wires and
his puppets jump at his command
Law abiding, with Frank A. McClos-
key smothering honesty to death! Yes,
the people will be law abiding.

| The Board of Trade when 1t gets
properly into swing is the most
practical body OF business men in the
city and what thcy say upon a subject
cannot fail to have an influence with
the Intelligent masses. The dicisioI
therefore last night to bridge the
Brandywine at any point between
VanBuren and Clayton streets was ar
rived at after mature reflection IN
which tie best interests Of the city
were considered. The position taker
by the Board OF Trade is the one ad
vocated by the REPUBLICAN all through
the discussion upon that subject, ant
it is decision that must grow rapidly
in favor when the contour of the west
ern section of the city Is properly un
\ derstood and the advantages it woult
be TO the city are taken into consldera
ton.

OLD FORT FAYETTE SOLD.
The Amount Bid for the Property Too
Low TO Suit the Government.

The Amount Bid for the Property Too
Low TO Suit the Government.
The site of old Fort Fayette on Garrison
alley, between Penn avenue and low water
mark of the Allegheny river, was pur-
chased at auction yesterday by Baxter,
Thompson & Co. for Frank McCann. The
price bid was s218, 500. The sale will have
to be confirmed by the War Depart
ment, which has reserved the right
to reject any and all bids. Colonel
Weeks, the Deputy Quartermaster,
states that the Government expected at
least $3.50, 900 for the property, and that the
bid of Mr.. McCann will hardly be accepted
Competition at the auction was sharp and
lively. John D. Bailey was the auctioneer,
and announced that the terms would be 2
per cent on confirmation of sale, and the
balance when the deed is delivered. The
property was first divided into lots and Of
fered one at time. w. H. Keech, .Attor-
ney Douglass, S. W. Black, James Graham,
A. 7. Rowand and DR.. G. f. Bingaman en-
tered the ring, and put up bids ranging from
S31, 900 to S45, 900 on each of the three lots
into which the property between Penn ave-
nue. and Fayette street was divided. The
part between Fayette street and the Alle-
gheny river was knocked down to James
Graham for $40, 500. The entire plot was
then put up and fell to McCann for S218, 500,
which was more than the sale by lots had
aggregated.
McCann is a member of the Western
Dairy Company. He refused to state what
will be done with the property, provided
he gets it.

from the list of 81 candidates for State dele
gates-at-large to the convention, and the
third the ticket for the two local delegates
from the Senatorial districts
To add to the confusion there will be
Straightout- Republican and Prohibition
tickets j. the field, and, no doubt, thou
sands of those dangerous articles known as
''smoothbores." The opportunity for work
ing in the latter in numerous forms and,
combinations will be unexcelled in local
history, and the astute politicians will no
doubt take every advantage of it., Said
County Commissioner Boyle yesterday: I'm
my political experience, dating back to my
first vote, never saw more than three
tickets on the tbale for each vote, and even
when there was that number there was
much annoyance and confusion. But with
six tickets to vote, every polling place will
require couple of experienced men from
each party to see that the voters get the
proper tickets There will be fun on the
Sd of November, as sure as you live!'

Three Speeches Before a Meeting in the
Allen School House.


The Straighout Republicans held meet
ing in the Allen school house, Thirty-frst
ward, last night, w. U. Nesbit presiding.
H. M. Gilmore acted as Secretary, and the
Vice Presidents were W. o. Russell, Thos
S. Wolfe, Major William NJ. Hartzell, j.
D. Criss, &. B. Sweeney, E. E. Riggs and
E E. Briggs.
L. X. Porter was the first speaker. He
said it was not question of party, but a
matter of principle. The position that the
Straightouts have assumed in this cam
paign was fully explained. He told how
the Straightout ticket had been made up,
and referred to the appointment of the
three Judges by Governor Pattison as a rat
ifcation of big deal by the gang"
William Walls delivered the next speech.
After few Introductory remarks he said
that few "ring" Democrats had attempted
to place $4,000 votes to the support of the
''ring,'" but had made horrible failure of
the whole thing and exposed one of the most
scandalous schemes known in Western
Pennsylvania politics.
Alderman f. G. Beinhauer, of the Twenty
ninth ward, delivered the last address. He
referred to the new city charter as an un-
finished bill passed by the State Legislature
so that the City Councils could fix things for
the bosses to swindle the public.

MANY TICKETS TO VOTE.
Considerable Confusion Expected to Pre-
vail on Election Day.

Considerable Confusion Expected to Pre-
vail on Election Day.
The voters of Allegheny county will need
to have their faculties all in excellent con-
dition at the coming election if they expect
to cast their ballots satisfactorily to them
selves. Such large number of tickets to
be voted was never known before at any
election. Each voter. in addition to his
choice from among the candidates can select
six tickets to present at the polls
The first ticket, the one for the county,
will have the most people, 1t will be
judiciary. On the Republican county
ticket will be the names of candidates
for District Attorney, Prothonotary,
and Jury Commissioner. On the iu-
dicial ticket will be the names of the three
candidates for Common Pleas Judges and
that of Judge Over for the Orphans Court.
The Democrats, however, will have no
names on their county ticket excepting that
of Thomas Mullen, their candidate for jury
Commissioner. The ticket will be made
large enough so that any voter desiring to
avoid breaking his record of "never voted
anything but the Democratic ticket in my
life," can paste on stickers for candidates
for other offices If he chooses provided he
writes over each name the office for which
the candidate is running. The Democratic
judiciary ticket will be like the Republican
except Judge Kennedy's name will be at
the top, while on the Republican ticket
Judge Porter's name will be the first.
The next ticket in importance locally
will be the State ticket, bearing
the names of two State candidates. Then
will come the question of the Constitu-
tional Convention, on which three tickets
must be cast. The first will be 'sfor'' or
against the holding of Constitutional
Convention. the second will be to select Is.

money in improving old streets This is
not consistent We don't want Federal
streets out of all our thoroughfares The
street railways are allowed right of way,
etc, without paving cent These corpo-
rations should be made help pay our
taxes
His Cellar Often Flooded.
John KensiC, of Woods Run, wanted
some Improvement down'his way, as he said
that no ordinary rain fell but what his eel
lar was flooded A sewerage system was
badly needed there.
John S. Slagle, a very prominent citizen
and ex-President of Council, spoke at
length in favor of the increased taxation and
issuing of bonds He said the first question
of city's prosperity was its water, second
sewage, third light and heat, fourth Its
streets and pavements. "We are not up to
the standard of other cities" he said. II
for one am in favor of incurring a liability
to perfect our streets, waterways, sewage,
etc. Do it now. If we procrastinate the
city will go backward steadily. The ques-
tion of issuing bonds ought to be settled by
the people, and then if carried the Council
should be instructed by the people to act as
their servants.
''If that body or any member does not do
its duty he should be thrown out for NAL
feasance. Don't be afraid of judicious ex-
penditure. You and your descendants will
never regret it. and a name viii go down to
posterity as public benefactor. If / was
in Council 1 would advise the issuing of
bonds without advising the people, hut now
that is not possible under the new law.
Mr.. Slagle's talk was received with hearty
cheers.
A German Would Be Heard.
Christian Brighlauch, German saloon
keeper, was bound to be heard, and con-
tinued to Jump up and down to aid his
opinions in broken English He was stirred
up because street railway company piled
a big mound of stones before his place of
business, which he thought drove trade
away. He was obstinately opposed to the
bond issue.
W. r. Thompson, the banker, made an
interesting talk. He thought it was un-
gracious to retard progress, but he was not
in favor of going into debt. His business
is loaning money, and he was ina position
to see the disastrous results of in
debtedness. Ex-Councilman George Coch-
ran, the contractor, favored the scheme, and
gave some very potent reasons why he
thought it good movement. He was not
exactly in favor of issuing bonds, but sug-
gested that the improvements be made
to pay as they went along. The meeting
then adjourned to convene again on Satur-
day night at Carnegie Hall when fuller
and moro representative gathering is ex-
pected.
Among those present whose faces are
familiar were: Robert McAfee, A. NJ.
Byers, VIM. Kennedy, A. j. Keefer, John
Henry Albrecht, Sr., B. F.
Jennings, Alex Leggste, Robert Lee, Jr,
and other equally prominent personages.

Public Land Surveys.

Surveyor General Petit has let all the
contracts for the survey of public lands
in the State of Idaho under the appropri.
alton of $4,000 for the fiscal year COM
mencing July lst next. The contracts
are as follows:
Ada county; Deer Flat country, Deputy
Surveyor Mills, $2,S00.
Washington county; Deputy Surveyor
Hastings, $500
Shoshone county; Deputy Surveyor
Miller $1,000.
Lemhi and Bingham counties; Deputy
Surveyor Rhodes, $4,000.
Nez Perce, Latah and Kootenai coun-
ties; Deputy Surveyors Sonnenkalb and
Long $4,000.
1t is estimated that about fifty town
shsps will be surveyed under these con-
tracts. None of them are in Idaho coun-
ty, however, where they are most need :
ed. We were told in the last campaign
that if we voted for Sweet and the rest
of the republican ticket we would get
money for surveys and wagon roads in
Idaho county, 1t is evident that the
republican campaign managers lied and
that the voters have been fooled.
