If there is an effort being made, as
reported, to remove the present i'll
cumbent of the Dickinson p~ostoliice
and get another party appointed, we
look upon it as a piece of political
spite which would not be counte-
-nahced by the citizens of the town in
any general way. Mr.. Thompson's
veracity and integrity are above
reproach, and a more accommodating
and faithful public official would be
very hard to find.

CRIMINALS have been cleared 10y

Ignatius Donnelly is claiming all the
genius of the Shakcspearean plays fcr,
Francis Bacon and all the grammati-
cal errors of decomposition are set over
against VIM. Shakespeare. This is IL
little inconsistent. Robt. Burns was
not an educated man, but he had the
natural genius for poetry, and what
Burns was amoung the poets Shakes
peare was among the drama writers.

a Very Moderate Communication from
d 4 Rudini Received ut Washington.
ROME. April 3.-Mnister Rudini has
sent a cablegram to Marquis Imperial
in reply to Mr.. Blaines last note, and
i'll it the Marquis di Rudini says
that Italy has asked nothing but
a prompt institution of the regu-
lar proceedings against the guilty par
ties at New Orleans. He adds that it
would have been absurd to claim pun
ishment for the offenders without the
guarantees offered by a regular trial. In
the meantime the Italian government
taxes cognizance of the federal govern
ment's declaration acknowledging the
the fact that compensation is due to the
families of the victims by virtue of the
treaty existing between the two poun-
tries.
The idea of war is secuted here in dip.
lomatic and government circles. Even
Baron Fava's final withdrawal is not
definitely decided upon. It is said that
even if Baron Fava is withdrawn, it will
be done only as the most forcible protest
known in diplomacy, and not as q fore
runner of q conflict between the United
States and Italy.
The Italian cabinet ministers are in
receipt Of a large number of cablegrams
and letters from prominent Italians in

the Italian government in its treatment
of the New Orleans trouble.

Republicans Consider Results in the
Buckeye State Significant.
CHICAGO, April "a Herald special
from Columbus, Ohio, says: The cleo
lions in Ohio were municipal entirely,
but the politicians are studying the re-
suits for bearings upon state politics.
1t is generally conceded that the result
in Cincinnati was largely due to the
trouble between Governor Campbell
and the board of public works of that
city. The Republican victory in Cleve-
land was probably due entirely to other
causes, chiefly local, but the result in
Cincinnati certainly indicates that Gov
ernor Campbell will meet strong oppo-
sition for denomination from Cincinnati.

From 10th Parties-Isesults of Elcc-
tions in Other Sections.
CHICAGO, April S.-All the morning
papers except The Globe partisan DEM
ocra) concede the election of Hemp
stead Washburn, Rep, as mayor, by
pluralities ranging from a few hundred
to 5000. The Herald lDemocratic),
Tribune Republican, and News (Inde-
pendent>, place his plurality at about
1000. There are still u few precincts to
hear from. but there is no doubt that
Washburn has been elected by a plural
ity of Yer 1000.
Democrats Claim Cregicr'a Election.
Returns from the missing precincts
received at moo leave the situation in
great doubt. 1t now appears that the
plurality will not be over 200 either
way. The Democrats are now claiming
that Cregier is elected by a small plural-
ity. They admit. however, that it will
require the official count to settle the
question.
The Democrats put forward the asser-
ton that i'll scores of instances, the votes
for Elmer Washburne, she Citizens can
didate were deliberately counted for
Hcmrsted Washburne, the Republican
nominee, such a substitution being ia
oilitated by the similarity of names. On
the other hand the Republicans protest
that in one precinct alone at the stock
yards over 100 votes We're deposited for
names that were refused registration.
and that some of the names are those of
persons who have been dead for weeks
or months. In this particular precinct,
it is charged, affairs were so manipu-
lated that judges and clerks. without
exception, We're Democrats. and the plu-
rality for Cregier was something alb
normal.
Watching for Fraud.
Col. Nye. the chairman of the Repub-
lican committee. Went before the cleo
ton commissioners aud requested that
two members of his committee be per
mitted to remain on guard over the
vault in which the returns and docu-
ments are preserved. night and day I'M
til the official canvas is begun. He said
that Mayor Cregier's declaration THAT
no circumstance can remove him from
his office for two years" seemed to him
to warrant extraordinary precautions
against fraud. The commissioners de-
ckled to hold a consultation with Judge
Scales. of the criminal court before Civ
ing a definite reply to MI. Nye's request.
The request was granted later in the
day, and as an additional precaution
the combination OH the safe containing
the returns was changed.
Needs the Official Count,
II is claimed by the Democrats that
all the returns have been received and
that the vote stands: Cregier, Demo
crat. 46, 935: Fl. Washburne, Republican.
1900; Cregier's plurality, 335.
The Republicans, on the other hand,
strongly maintain that Hempsted Wash.
burne has been elected, and only the
official count will decide which is mayor.
j. R. B. Van Ceve. Republican, for city
CLERK, and B. F. Richolson, Republican,
or city attorney, are elected beyond
doubt. Peter Kiolbassa, Democrat, for
city treasurer, is probably elected by a
plurality of 800.
