How the Election Went and What Made

A FULLERTON LANDSLIDE.

The Citizens Ticket Wins Out Easily by
a Big Majority.
Two years ago when Mr.. Seaman ran
against Mr. Fullerton he defeated him
by majority of q. This year Mr.
Fullerton defeated his opponent by the
handsome majority of 1856 in the city.
Better weather for election day could
not have been manufactured to order
than that which has been experienced
today. and from the opening of the
polls in the morning at 8 o'clock until
they closed at 4 o'clock the time was
pretty we'll employed in getting out
the voters. The vote, however, was
not quite so large as two years ago
when the same two candidates for may
opposed each other. The issues in the
election were SO many, and so at vari-
ance with each that it has been diff
ticult matter to determine just how the
vote would turn out, although during
the morning it was conceded that the
majority would be small, no matter
which side won. The citizens ticket
stood for license as better way in
which to control the traffic when the
time came for such measures. The
law and order ticket upheld the pro,
hibition law and worked the mob law
incident as vote getter.
The school election was also of an
exciting nature, the rivalry existing or
the candidates for school treasurer
The ladies were important factors and
each ward had a good representative
vote from the fair sex. E. S. Johns
was brought out Tuesday morning as {
candidate for member of school board
by the law and order people, after hav
ing given the nomination to Fl. Nc
Cormick.

THE MASS MEETING.
Crowd Was Not Large but Full of Enthu
siasm and Good Humor.

Crowd Was Not Large but Full of Enthu-
siasm and Good Humor.
The rain storm Friday evening pre-
vented larger attendance at the pro-
hibition mass meeting at the court
house, as it was the room was half filled
with people. Chairman Weller called
the meeting to .order and introduced
Prof. Quigley as the first speaker OF the
evening. The professor can give a
very entertaining and interesting talk
and he did so on this occasion. He
gave clear definition of law, statute,
moral, written and unwritten laws,
gradually working down to the laws of
the present day. He believed in the
enforcement of law in every instance
and that law and order was the only safe
foundation on which the future welfare
of the state rested. He thought no
man should take the oath of any office
and then not enforce the law.
Rev. Mr.. Bradford was heartily in
sympathy with the sentiments express
ed on the question under discussion.
Mr.. Bradford referred to the news
paper reports sent out from Mitchell
as misrepresenting the issue at stake
iu this city election as being high
license and prohibition. He stated
that his ticket stood for law and order
and that the other side stood for the
opposite, which could mean nothing
more than anarchism, which meant
the violation Of law. Mr.. Bradford
said that he would not have news
paper in his house which upheld or en-
dorsed the liquor question. He
thought the reason why the law had
not been enforced was because it had
not received the endorsement and
sympathy of the voters.
Mayor Seaman stated that during
the past two years he had done his
best to maintain and enforce the laws
of the state, but considered it an almost
impossible task to enforce the prohibit
ion law with so much against him.
Considered himself highly honored by
being chosen by the good people of
Mitchell as their standard bearer and
preferred defeat with them than sue
cess with the other side.
Alderman McDougall read short
selection from two city papers, one of
which he thought breathed consider
: able license, while the other produced
, the proper prohibition sentiment.
t r. N. Kratz made the closing speech
, of the evening and paid some attention

o sented, unless he had paid his taxes

Election Aftermath.

The election is over with and things
are beginning 10 assume their normal
shape once more. Up to election day
some very vigorous work was done on
both sides. The prohibitionists held
their public mass meetings at which
the opposition received some pretty
severe scoring but despite that the
license ticket carried the day with
majority that was even surprising to
them. They had counted on so but
when it run up to 1876 it had surpassed
their most hopeful expectations and
the majority was 80 convincing that
there was no room left for doubt that
the good people had expressed deter
mined opinion on all the issues brought
forth by the opposition. Early in the
morning it was conceded that the cleo
tion would be close but by noon the
sentiment commenced to change and
the prohibitionists admitted that they
timent was pretty freely expressed that
the special edition of the Gazette, is
sued by the law and order campaign
committee, was the means OF increas-
ing the majority. There were two fac
tions in the law and order ranks, one of
which took up the prohibition issue
and the other made as much of the
Mcbride trouble as possible, inasmuch
as the fight was made on the business
men, who we're supporting Mr.. Fuller
ton, but who received such large
majority that it was certainly crafty
ing to them to receive such an endorse
ment so long as their action was used
as campaign material by the opposi-
ton.
The vote was not quite so large this
year at the mayoralty election as two
years ago, there was but 574 votes cast
on the city election, but the ladies out
did their efforts of two years ago as al
that time they voted only in the third
and fourth wards. A heavy vote was
polled in each ward by the ladies as
the following summary will show
First ward, 9S, Second ward, 81, Thirc
ward, S3, Fourth ward, l19, making {
total of 39l votes. Fullerton's majority
in the city was 1856; Kibbee's majority
was 143; Judge Abbey had no opposi
tion and consequently he was not wor
ried much; Powers majority was 1856
Davison's majority was 229; for alder
men Johnson defeated McDougall il
the First ward by "A votes; in tn
Second Nielsen beat Morrow by I
votes; over in the Third ward Boot
had smaller margin over Cowhick
defeating him IA votes; in the Fourth
: however, Leyinger beat Weller oni
three votes. There was no oppositio
on the school board only in the Firs
and Fourth wards. II. B. Rogers wa
the caucus nominee and it was suppose
would have no opposition but in th
morning the law and order peopl
brought out G. G. Boulton who defeate
, Mr.. Rogers by two votes. In tn
Fourth ward H. Mccormick was th
law and order candidate but they pun
sued the same tactics as in the first an
, run e. S. Johnston as an opposing car
didate to their caucus nominee. MI
, Cormick, however, defeated Johnsto
, by 10 votes.
0 The election is over and it is tim
2 now to drop all factional difficulties an

They Wont Break.

A German genius fills long-felt
want by providing mirrors which
will not break. He simply employs
celluloid where glass was heretofore
used. A perfectly transparent, we'll.
polished cellulold plate receives a
quicksilver backing like that of a
glass mirror. This backing IS pro-
tected by another ceiluloid plate,
which also mirrors, SO that we have
practically double mjrror-l' ghter,
cheaper and more lasting than a
glass mirror.

Mailbag Romance.

Romances are sprlnging up COM
stantly in the most unlooked1or
places. Here is story of one told
by Representative CulberSon, OF
Texas: :,
"Some mouths ago lady called
on me with an appeal to help her 10
secure a place in the government
service-anything TO support herself
and her dependent parents,g She was
from nav state, and l soon estab-
lished the fact that she was lady
in every particular, cultured and !. at !,
the same time remarkably beautiful.
Her story impressed me, and so did
her appearance, and | undertook to
find her position. l made round
of all the departments, but every,
where l ran up against; the Civil
Service ghost, and as final resort
compromised upon a place IN the
general postoffice department at S35
a month, sewing mail bags. It's one
of the hardest places in the govern
ment department. 1t was not the
sort of place l cared to offer her, but
j: was all l could get, and she &C
cepted 1t gladly rather than be with
out anything.
"She had not been in the depart
ment long before she became a gen
eral favorite Her ways caught
everybody. They also enmeshed the
heart OF a gentleman Of high stand
ing and a good deal Of wealth, who
used to visit the department OIL bus
mess, accidentally became acqualnt,
ed with my protege and fell in love
with her. He courted her for while
and then proposed. She accepted
him, and tonight I'm to be the guest
of honor Oh the occasion other mar
riage, for you see if it hadn't been
for me she would not have got into
the mailbag department, and he
would never have met and proposed
to her. s. I say We often make our
selves happy by contributing to the
happiness of others. '--Philadelphla

"oNcE UPON A TIME."

My little child comes to my knee,
And Juggling pleads that he may climb
Into my lap to hear me tell
The Christmas tale beloved SO we'll
A tale my mother told to me
Beginning "once upon time"
1t is tale of skies that rang
With angel rhapsodies sublime;
OF that great host, serene and white,
The shepherds saw one winter night
And of the glorious stars that sang
An anthem once upon a time.
This story the hallowed years
Tells of the sacrifice sublime
Of one who prayed alone and wert
While his wearied followers slept
And how his blood and May's tears
Combined; once upon time.
And now my darling at my side,
And echoes of the distant chime,
Brings that sweet story back to me,
Of Bethlehem and Calvary,
And of the gentle Christ that died
For sinners once upon time.
The mighty deeds that men have told
In ponderous tones of fluent rhyme
Like misty shadows fade away;
But this sweet story bides for aye;
And, like the stais that sang of old,
We sing Of ''Once upon time" =,

R GOOD ONES.

A good story is told and vouched for
concerning q certain society woman of
Buffalo, who concluded for some IN
known reason to take q cottage in the
country this year, and more than that
take a hand in housekeeping herself.
She had friends who had a country
home nearby, and as az appendage to
their estate, q number of fine Jersey
COWS. AS a special favor the society
woman asked to be supplied with milk.
for tshe had heard so much of Jersey
milk. The favor was granted and all
went we'll for seven days and then the
owners Of the country house and the
COWS were informed they need not take
the trouble any longer, for after the
milk had stood awhile it was covered
with q thick, yellow stuff on top and
had to be thrown out.
A minister in Columbus says that
women have more than men as
a rule. This, he says, is especially the
case when it comes to marrying. Some

Young couple in what might be called

the least, he concluded to ask the min
lister if it was customary to kiss the
bride. After suffering for some time
he finally broke out, lis cussing kis

formed him that it was not, under the
circumstances, and the young mar was
led to the altar like a lamb.
A writer in the Boston Transcript
says: "a friend of Mrs. Stowe tells a
quaint, pathetic little anecdote Of later
date than most of the "reminiscences
her going has called forth. A welcome
guest always at the home near what
was the home of her later years, it was
some times her wont to wander, at
twilight, from her own into some neigh
boring garden, and thence through the
h%Cspitable open door into hall or living
room. IN the hall of n such house
there was a fine bust Of Henry Ward
Baecher in white marble resting in a
deep niche IN the wainscoted wall, and
near it a softly shaded light. Oue
summer twilight, when this light had
been newly kindlcd, Mrs, Stowe came
absently in through the open door and
stood looking up at the bust. All,

her quiet, dreamful voice; 'Ah, Henry,

THE PoPULIsT DELEGATES.
How They Differed From Those of the
Old Parties.


The hotels that were patronized by
the Populist crowds appear satisfied.
Men who attend Populist conventions
don't break up much furniture" said
Mr.. Donovan, of the LindelI. "They
don't usually hold ster chamber CON
~ferences in private apartments
1T seems that they like to be heard,
and most of their caucuses here were
held in the Hobbies, corridors, rotundas,
parlors or at delegation headquarters.
IN this way they did not crowd into
rooms too small to accommodate them.
Hence, but little furniture was dam
aged At all other conventions, you
know, delegates have a prediction for
getting eff in secluded apartments and
holding secret caucuseS.
And Populist crowdsappear to have
a respect, almost amounting to awe,
for good things. They take care of
their rooms in much better manner
than a me 1rity of hotel livers. Maybe
that's because they don't live away
from home very much"
Besides the L!ndell, the st. James
and Hurst's Hotels received large shares
of the Populist patronage. The South
ern accommodated about sixty and
most of these we'll to do men-leaders
in heirrespective sections The Planters
was the chief stopping place of outside
newspaper correspondents and Demo
cratic and silver leaders who were
called here by the convention. More
private conferences were held there
than at any other hotel during the
week.

MARTYRS.

We cali special attention to the ar
ticle on the growth and purity Of the
POpuiist AUS which we reprint from
the Rocky Mountain News. In one re
ep CT the News might have gone alittl9
further. It might have shown that all
great popular movements, as we'll as
all great public b~enefactors, have yer
been belittled at the outset of their
career. Socrates was put to death for
teaching purity of life and government.
Then there is the S3vior's own case.
When Paul fought the great battle of
liberty against the law he was assaulted
with v0cabularies Of Opprobrious cpl,
thets and a whole Pentateuch of con
ficting texts. Calico was killed simply
for maintaining that the sun is the
centre of our planetary system. The
followers of Cromwell we're denounced
for daring to say that in the people
is vested sovereign power. When Morse
invented the telegraph, he was branded
as a crank, and the government voted
him $40, 900 just to get rid of him. The in
entor Of the steam threshing machine
saw the fruit of his labOrs destroyed
by angry mob. And the list of move
ments for the public good which have
been belittled and sneered at might be
extended to great length. Populism
was indeed of humble origin. Its teach
lngs we're made the laughing stock of
creation. But, like the grain Of mustard
seed in the parable, it has become a tree
with wide spreading branches under
whose protecting arms the oppressed
Of earth may take new heart. A POpu

full of wheels" but those wheels are
