C0UNCILMANIC JUGGLERY.

One of the finest specimens of
straight, unwarranted and unwar-
rantable wrong was the act of the
Martinsburg council in turning down
John Grozinger as councilman from
the fourth ward. His opponent, Mr..
Gottleb Wellinger. admitted he was
not a naturalized citizen, and of
course, being an alien, was barred
from holding office, although he had
served two terms prior to that, The
council, after counting the ballots
cast at an election held under their
orders and proclamation, decided
there was an election and then
trampled right under foot and swat
lowed their wrong by declaring there
had been no election. Ye city faith
ets, see the stain on your ermine!
You had better be right than be
president, but you cannot afford to
defeat the express will of the people
at the ballot box. Now, sec, John
Grozinger was elected. You know
that. You dc know that you paid
the commissioners and clerks of
election. If you held no election
why did you pay them ? Is money
so plentiful? On Monday last, Gott-
leb Wellinger was naturalized by
Judge Faulkner, and the first right
ful vote he eyer cast in this country
will be cast at the coming corpora
ton election. His previous votes
and the office he held were con, AIRY
to law, and wrong. What singing
sense of shame those councilmen
must have, who so far forgot their
duties as guardians of public trust,
as to work or connive at such I'M
necessary necessity to secure little
petty party supremacy for so short
length of time. Gentlemen, You can
never justify such methods.

Accordingly, Postmaster Hesing. of
Chicago, was notified to-day to ac-
cept the publication for mailing upon
payment Of proper postage. The
department holds, however, that
this authority does not relieve the
firm from responsibility in case the
United States district attorney shall
deem it best TO take action in the
matter The case cannot come up
again before the department unless
prosecution is instituted by the gov
ernment authorities at Chicago, and
interference Of the department is
asked.

One hundred and thirty nine votes
were polled at the Corporation cleo

so strong against bringing politics
into the election two or three of the
nominees refused to allow the use of
their names. Mr.. Frank Harrison

won. The vote polled was very
large and shows great interest was

imagine politics had much to do with
it, but other issues were forced to
the front. Politically the new Coun-
