REPUBLICANS ROUTED
At the City Election held last Tuesds

At the City Election held last Tuesday.
No explanation can be given for
this result, other than that there
were too many Democrats; but some
are inclined to call it no election, it
being so much onesided The Re.
publican ticket was made mp good
men, who, if elected, would un-
doubtedly have proved efficient Of
fcials. The Democratic ticket also
contained the names of good men,
and the TRIBUNE feels confident
that they are capable of giving the
city a clean, progressive adminislra-
ton, which We must have, or their
supremacy will be of short duration,
if we rightly understand our citi-
zens. A large vote was polled,
which is accounted for by the in
tense interest taken in the lisense
question and the county judgeship,
a candidate for the latter, Chas. w.
McIlhon, being a resident of this
city.
Here you have the figures:

NEVER, within the recollection of
the oldest inhabitant, has there been
a spring when the snow disappeared
so readily and dusty roads followed
so soon thereafter as has been the
case this spring. Notwithstanding
the great amount of snow there
was no breakup, in the common
understanding of the word - no
rushing of waters, etc. This is
accounted for by the ground not
being frozen.

1t runs from point on the Catawissa

A GOOD SALESMAN.
LESS ALEXANDER WILL GO TO THE
WORLDS FAIR.

Last November Bland Bros. &
Wright, tobacco dealers, of Petersburg,
Va, made an offer of three prizes to
persons handling their goods, who
would sell the largest quantities of the
"Filly' brand of tobacco during the
succeeding four months. The first
prize offered was trip to Chicago
including two weeks expenses the
second was the same trip with one
weeks expenses, and the third was a
railroad ticket to Chicago and back.
Less Alexander of the enterprising
firm of Alexander Bros. & Co., who
has been travelling for that firm for
several years, and who is we'll known
and has friends wherever he goes, con-
cluded to tackle the job, and the re,
suit Of his efforts shows that
as a salesman he has few SUI.
periors. A few days ago he receiv-
ed notice that he was the second prize
winner, and he is therefore making
arrangements to spend week in Chi
ago at the Worlds Fair, just as soon
as the weather moderates, and every
thing at the Exhibition is in good
working order. Among those who
were competing with him for the prize
were representatives of large houses in
Philadelphia, Reading, and other
cities. This speaks we'll for the Blooms
burg firm which evidently sells more
tobacco than some Of its city compe,
titors. Less is to be congratulated on
his success, and his many friends will
wish him safe and pleasant trip.
