AUGUSTA DOWNS THE A. p. A.
None of the Orders AJdermanic Can
dates Elected

Augusta, Ga, Dec. 4-Augusta's munich
pal election passed off to-day quietly in
all the wards but the Fourth. where the
contest was hardest. There several fisti-
cuffs occurred, and four of the men ar
rested had pistols, but because of the
prompt Interference of the police, there
was no shooting and no serious fighting
This was the first contest of the Amer
lean Protective Association in Augusta.
and resulted in their overwhelming de-
feat. They put out no candidate in the
First ward. The contests were as fol-
lows:
First Ward-George F. hanback,.
Second Ward-F. W. Foster and Wilbur
Boswell.
Third ward-John J. Cashin and T. r.
Fourth ward-w. H. Roberts and Otis
G. Lynch.
Firth Ward-R. F. Bradheld and w. T.
Shea.
The last gentleman mentioned in each
ward is the A. p. A. candidate, and In
each case the first named were elected.
The councilmen whose terms expired to-
ward, w. Ed. Platt from the Second ward
John d. Sheehan from the Third ward
w. II. Roberts, from the Fourth ward and
Wash Adams from the Fifth.
Under law a member of council Is not
eligible for reelection after serving one
term, but Roberts was filling the unexpir-
ed term of Walter Lynch, the son of the
present candidate against Mr. Roberts,
and was entitled to run for reelection.
The A. 2. A. contest in this ward was
somewhat forced. Lynch has denied be-
ing an A p. A. man and Roberts. his on
ponent, is not a Catholic. but o. g. Lynch
superintendent of the Enterprise factory
and a very much more capable man than
Roberts. had the misfortune to have his
candidacy endorsed by the A. p. AS and
he has heretofore been identified with re-
form movements in the city and
was at one time the COMMITTEES
of 100 candidate for council against w 3
Young, the present mayor, and at the time
of the ring candidates under the Bob
May regime. There was. of course, no love
lost between himself and the present ad-
mindstration, and the whole strength of
the machine was brought against him
The American Protective Association in-
dorsement was Good Enough Morgan"
to marshal the Catholic vote against
him solidly though his opponent was
not a Catholic. Lynch carried the white
box, but was overwhelmed in the negro
box.
The vote in each ward is as follows:
First Ward-George +. hanback,. 3il.
Second Ward-Foster, 5l9: Bos well, J6.
Third Ward-Cashin, 465; Lowell Co.
Fourth Ward Roberts 1,043: Lynch 400
Fifth Ward-Bradheld, 438; Shea, 500.
An addition OF the votes of the Ameri-
can Protective Association candidates
shows that In four wards they received
only 1905 votes and not all OF these can
be claimed. for there were some men who
voted for Lynch simply because he IS
the ADLER man, and without any

Gladstone Declines an Invitation
From the Press Club.

Chicago, Dec. 4.-The Press Club of Chi
cago has had an address from some prom
inent man every year for several years.
They invited Mr.. Gladstone for 1885, and
the mayor of Chicago supplemented the
request with a cordial invitation to Mr..
Gladstone and his family. These letters
were sent to Hon. Chauncey NJ. Depew to
be forwarded with personal letter from
him. The following is Mr.. Gladstone's
answer:

Dear Mr.. Depew: l have had the honor to
receive your letter of the 10Th ult, which
forwarded to me the Invitation of the
Press Club, accompanied and COuntenanc-
ed by the mayor of the great city of Chi
cago.
l cannot too strongly express my sense
of the honor thus done me. and I wish to
add that in my opinion no cause more
sacred, and none more urgent, than that

before the citizens of our humane and
enlightened country

as the public are concerned in uncertain

handwriting on the wall which warned
one ancient despot of his coming doom,

to betoken some approaching crash of a
system that is far more impious and in
iquitous.
With these feelings 1 still must not

public action without considering much
besides the truth and even the import
ance of what l might have to say, and
am far from convinced that my undertake
ing a public progress such it would be)
at the present time would be beneficial to
the Armenian cause But all reasoning
on such a question is cut short by an
undeniable physical unitness. The bless
ing of good health is still vouchsafed to
me, but diminished strength, imperfect
vision and growing deafness incapaci-
tate me from public efforts. which more
weighty considerations might lead me to

of a restricted character.

your great, and in such a matter nee
essarily impartial, country will be pow
