ST. LOUIS.

Monday was democratic day in st. Louis,
and A. +. Wright an old democratic war
horse, who however has been out of service
for some years, was elected mayor. =-
John Frazer, good republican, good cti.
zen, aud one of the solid business men of the
town was put up and slaughtered. He Is a
man whom the city promised a bonus Of
81, 600 to locate his business here, years.ago
and then went back on their promise, after
he was established in business. HeIhas an
average pay roll of $500 per week for help,
and has paid out nearly $4,000 this winter
to the people of the surrounding country for
logs. In fine, we have no more valuable
citizen in the city. Mr.. Frazer has been
asked to run for mayor many times, but has
always refused. Ii was only at the urgent
request of the republicans that he consented
to let his name run, and refused TO do any
active work to be elected, saying that he did
not wish the office, that he only consented at
the unanimous call of the party in conven
ton: and wished to be elected only in case
he wa, the choice of the people. He was de-
feated by three or four, more or less luiuen-
tial men IN the party, purely on matters of a
personal nature. IA large company of
the members OF the Royal Arcanum, with
theirs families, gathered at the home of 4.
Warren Tuesday evening, the occasion be-
ing that of his seventeen birthday. Quite
an elaborate literary program was carried
out, at the close Of which. Rev. McGreaham
presented him IN behalf OF the order a fine
embematic gold watch charm; also a fine
meerschaum pipe, "A gift from the boarder-
at the house. Mrs. j. M. Biakeslee, also
presented him with gold pin. Elaborate
refreshments were served, and all returned
to their homes with feelings of pleasure and
enjoyment OF the occasion. =Rev. Ford
preached an excellent sermon 10 the black
smiths aud mechanics of the city. at the NJ.
f.. church last Sunday. The house was
crowded To its utmost capacity. Great labor
had been expended in the decoration which
showed not only labor, but artistic merit.
