General DlcAison's Defeat.

In the second primary election for
county treasurer General Dickson was
defeated by a majority of fifty-eight
| votes.
Had the race been run ON the merits
of the two candidates General Dicki-
son and his friends would have bowed
in graceful submission to the will of
the people.
Unfortunately such was not the
case. The individuality of the two
men was entirely lost sight of an
the contest descended into an embit-
tered and disgraceful bank fight.
Not only this, but scandalous and
damaging charges were made against
General Dickson on the very eve of
the election when it was impossible
for him or his friends to contradict
them, as could have been done if they
had been made earlier in the cam
paign. But worse than all, these dam
aging charges were not made openly
and bravely and in the light that men
might read and know them, but were
circulated under cover, surreptitiously
and secretly, like the midnight prowl-
er and assassin who slips upon his uD-
conscious and unsuspecting victim
from dark hiding places.
These being the means and the
methods employed to defeat him his
friends, those who knew his history,
those who followed him in war, and
knew what debt of gratitude this
state was owing him and are acquaint-
ed with his Affections and impover-
ishment, naturally felt and still feel
indignant.
The only charge General Dickson
and his friends made against his OPP
ponent was that he had scratched his
ticket and voted for one of the third
party candidates. This charge was
made openly and Mr.. Stevens ad-
mitted it. He says he did it not be-
cause he was tinctured with third
partyism but out of friendship for the
SoA0tNNbCs Ills OuCDSC W LHC PAL tI
If offence it was, was condoned and
approved by it. The gentleman he
voted for in preference to the demo-
cratic candidate is now his political
opponent in the race for county treas
urer, and if other democrats should
follow his example and scratch their
tickets and vote for Mr.. Perry in pref
erence, as NJ. Stevens did, and he
should be elected, it would be singu-
lar visitation and a strange cancatena-
tion of fate.
Mr.. Stevens could hardly blame
Others for doing what he did himself,
and this departure" on his part, after
participating in the primaries, was
understood by the party and met its
approval.

Doing a Splendid Trade.

Though times are net of the best,
cash is not floating around loose, and
complaining is general, yet strange to
say the postoffice drug store, owned by
H. NJ. Groves, and during his absence
north is run by DR.. Mitchell, than
whom there is not more accommo-
dating gentleman in the city, or a
more careful and competent COM
FOUNDER of drugs, is doing as flourish
ing trade as during the rush of the
busy season.
Their pure drugs and the scientific
manner in which they are compound
ed, accounts for the large and growing
prescription trade, which the house
enjoys, while their summer drugs and
ice creams are simply out of sight, and
are so seductive that on pleasant day
if you are looking for party it is safe
to say you can always find them at the
refreshment counter of the Postoffice
Drug Store.

done more for their relief than was ever done by
any party in the same length of time in any
country under the sum. These are bold words

them. Coming into power at time of panic

BLANKET Kick IS over
Policemen Said to Be Willing
to Buy the Red Ones From
the Lamp Inspector.

The kick being made by the police
for being compelled to purchase blankets
for their own use when doing reserve
duty at night, appears to be UNJUST
fed. When the Police Boar decided to
purchase cots for the night men who
would nave to sleep at the various po-
lice stations it was made known to
every member of the department that
he would have to purchase a blanket.
To prevent dissatisfaction from arising
Inspector LANCE decided to allow the
men of each precinct to delegate a com
mittee to meet him and select a blanket.
He insisted hat they should be of uni
form color. A dozen samples of blankets
were invited from local merchants and
representatives of New York houses.
Samples were submitted ranging in price
from s2.12 to 81. left, Weller 81 Co. sent
a sample of a 50 blanket which met with
the approval of many of the committee.
FOUR DOLLAR BLANKETS Sc
LECTED.
Inspector LANCE and several others Sc
lected a "a blanket submitted by Lamp
Inspector Davidson, who represents H.
B. Claffiin & Co. of New York. The
latter blanke weighed a half-pound more
han the former and was pronounced as
fine an article as there is on the market
by local dealers. The result of the con-
ference was the decision to purchase ia
81 blankets and 149 50 ones, or 263 in all,
making one for every Sergeant, rounds
and policeman.
AS GOOD A ONE FOR TWO DOLLARS.
Som of the men for whom the 81
blankets was selected declared they could
get a blanket for 81 which would be as
serviceable as the 81 article. Inspector
Lange found upon investigation, however,
that they referred to gray and white
blankets. As the majority favored a red
blanket, he would not permit anyone to
buy any other color.
The system of having a night reserve
at each station goes into effect on jan
uary 1. The Police Board has purchased
seyenty-six iron cots from D. Steele &
Son, at a cost of 81 each. They were
sent to the different station houses. More
will be purchased next year. A section
of reserve men will sleep at the station
house every night hereafter. There will
be from four to eight men in each sec
ton. 1t was the custom heretofore in
case of fire to LAY every man on an
odd post attend the fire, while the men on
the even posts remained and did double
patrol duty. In future post men will not
be disturbed. In the event of "a small
fire the reserve of the precinct in which
the fire occurs will attend it. In the
event of a general alarm all the reserve
men will turn out. The same rule will
apply in case of a riot.
