Democratic party naturally has more
voters than the (now defunct) G. O. D.,
but they have never before had the
privilege of exercising their suffrage
free, unmolested, and according te
the dictates of their own conscience

ing place had the aspect of funeral.
Well, it was sorter funeral looking to
the Republican party next morning,
when the news began to reverberate
through the air that Grover Cleveland
was elected to the chief magistracy OF
these United States. Speaking OF
Warner-Democrats, nary W.-D. was
there in this town, but to the contrary,
we had one O'Meara Republican. We
noticed from the vote cast at poor old
protected Pilot Knob, about 9 o'clock
A. NJ. on the 9th, that Mr.. TX. s" Warn
er-DemOcrats didn't materialize, or they
must have been like the one shown in
the st. Louis Republic, on last Thurs
days issue: '.got lost in the woods. >
By careful Investigation, we have found
twenty-one actual Democratic and six
Republican voters that did not vote at
last Tuesdays election, and out of a
total vote of 1852, there were only four
or five that did not comply with the re.
quirements of preparing their ballots.
Oh, my! what an exodus of Office
holders will there be, when Mr.. Cleve-
land takes his seat the fourth of March
in the City of Washington, and also
among these little one-horse post-mast-
ers throughout the country, who are
not built the right way, and who have
been dabbling in politics, contrary to
the rules of the post-office department.
If we remember correctly, it was Pres
ident Hayes who kicked Chauncey I.
Filley out of the St. Louis post-office
for this same cause, and when big fish
like .'de ole man" gets pulled, little fry
had better take heed. 1t is hoped that
Mr.. Cleveland will adhere as strictly
to the civil service rules as did Mr..
Harrison and his subordinates. And if
so, he will only be following out the
principles and doings of his predeces-
sors, and we trust that none get away.
Died-On last Wednesday night a
little child of the widow Glatzel, aged
two years, of typhoid fever. The re-
mains were taken to Iron Mountain for
burial.
Also, on the LIST inst, little Seattle,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. B. S. Bateman, of
suffOcation, aged about three years.
The remains of the little boy were in
tered in the Middlebrook cemetery.
Little Seattle was the pride of his par
ents, and the favorite with the board
ers, and the day before his death, was
apparently well, and playing with the
other children, as merrily as could be,
although his face and throat were
swollen little, yet there was nothing
indicating that the poor little fellows
end was SO near at hand.
Mrs. Louis Burton has returned home
from the city where she has been under

much improved in health.

The concert given at Workman's Hall

seemed well pleased with the evenings

interesting features displayed that were
of comic character that also added
to the merriment of the spectators.
