The late Democratic Council made a
crcduable record for honesty, integrity
and strict devotion 20 the interests of
the people. No scandals such as dis
graced the preceding Republican Coun-
ell and caused tho election Of the late
overwhelmingly Democratic Council,
over am outrageous gerrymander, were
breathed against 10. We do not claim
perfection for the late Council, but we
do claim that it was, to say the least
one of the best. most busineSS-li6e and
honest Councils that ever controlled our
municipal affairs. This, we believe, is
generally recognized by the common
sense people of Wheeling.
The Democratic Council ticket now
before the people is an excellent one in
every ward and should be elected. AT
the last city election the people demon
strated that they had had enough OF
Republican management Of the city's
affairs. and we can see no reason why
the next Council should not go in on the
crest of similar Democratic tidal
wave

In Death Thew We're not Parted.

/ Daniel E. Liefeld, one of the oldest
citizens among us, in point of years,
died Thursday April 8, 1891, at his home
in the Second ward. He had attained
the age of 80 years on Easter Sunday.
His sickness was very brief, being able
to work at his trade only a few days
before he received the final summons.
His wife had been ailing when he was
taken Ill, with a sickness similar to his,
and from the time of her husband s
death she gradually grew worse until
Sunday morning when her spirit took
| it's flight and she joined her lifelong
partner IN the world beyond, beauti-
fully and ittingly illustrating that Gin
| death they were not parted" Had
she lived until next June Mrs. Liefeld
would have been 81 years old. Mr.. and
Mrs. Liefeld had resided here since
1864. coming to Watertown from New
Haven, Conn, where they arrived from
near Potsdam, Prussia, thirty-three
years ago. Mr. Liefeld served regu-
lar term in the Prussian army in the
same company with Bismarck, his
position in the ranks, it is said, be-
ing the third man from the Chan
cellor. A portion of the time here
Mr.. Liefeld carried on merchant tailor
ing, but had been out of business some
years. At the time of his death, how
ever he was amD1Ovnd at tho tailor
trade with Schempf Bros.
Mr.. and Mrs. Liefeld leaves five
daughters and one son. One of their
daughters is Mrs. Henry Hermes.
The funeral Of this aged couple was
held from their late home to the
