TOWN AFFAIRS.

An old saying is, "When woman
will, she will, and when she won't, she
won't, and there's an end ont" Tt
does not, however, hold good in all
eases. The Post Office has been moved.
Our friends, the victorious Democ-
racy, appear to be having troubles of
their own Their principal occupation
since election seems to he holding eau
cuses and breaking states.
His honor the Mayor nominated A.,
J. MeClinton to be City Auditor, at
the regular meeting of Council on
Monday evening, May 1st. The eX-
treme courtesy with which the six
Democratic Councilman received the
Mayors appointment must have made
that official feel that his lot was east
in pleasant places. Every Democrat
voted against confirmation. Nor is
this all. One of the First Ward mem
bers introduced supplement to an
ordinance, providing that the power
of appointment be taken from the
Mayor and vested in Council. That's
right, gentlemen work your cards
for all they are worth but let rs tell
You, the City Auditor will not hail
from the First Ward. as You fondly
hope, but from the Third Ward in
stead. Freebooter Woltinger will take
care of that all right Ask Thomas
LARSON ms to the Freeholder's ability
in landing appointments when he goes
after them. To disinterested OBJ
server il looks as if the Third Ward
Freebooter was playing very success
fully the part of a political Brutus,
Last week we warned the liquor
dealers to have care lest they kill the
goose that lay the golden egg Have
You heard anything drop, gentlemen
II you haven't, Just listen until You
hear that -four hundred dollar shot
next February apropos of this liquor
question.
TAXPAYER, The BeacoH'S cores
pendent, evidently had his letter writ
ten before his proteSc, the First Ward
member of the Excise Board, had
raised the license fee $50. And to
think that this Democratic Excise Com
missioner foisted upon an unwilling
Democracy by the First Ward liquor
dealers, should thus early in the game
SO cruelty knife his creators. But il
seems Democratic, as we'll ns Republi
can, Excise Commissioners are not
above little spite work on their own
account and know Just as well how to
get square. And the taxpayer never
kicks bit. Every one of these spite
work dollars are good gold standard
dollars, and You will be pinched for
more of them, gentlemen, before "this
cruel war is over
The brand of journalistic courtesy
kept on hand in the Office of THE LAM
BERryLLE RECORD is of a quality that
does not permit The REcoRp cores
pondents to express their unadulter-
ated opinion of II journal that gives the
free use of its columns to "a correspond
ent for the purpose of insulting, by at
lacking the editor of an opposition
Journal, as did The Beacon last week
for the purpose of attacking the editor
of The LAMDERrvILLEREcoRD. There
fore, we cannot refer to editorial
trimmers for revenue as feelingly as
we would desire. Suffice it to say,
editor Pierson is known of all men to
be consistent i'll his professions, Re
publican aud n temperance man al
ways. He never plays fast and
loose with his political principles,
for rcrcHtc. He can always be found
battling for the right, and no one ever
has any doubt as to tho position he oc-
cnpiea. He is not trimmer.
Late advices prove the correctness
of our predictions concerning the mp
pointment of n City Auditor. He is n
Third Ward citizen and Il marcher in
the front rank of the Mckinley pro
cession, has held the office for two
years, appointed by Republican
Mayor on the representations of
his friends that he had voted for Nc
Kinley and gold What representa-
tons have been made to 1G to free
silver Mayor, TO induce him to appoint
n gold standard Democrat, We do not
know, butpresume that the gold stand
ard Democratic real estate agent who
has been making the bullets that Free
holder Wolfinger has been shooting so
successfully into the Democratic Coun-
camp, has had no trouble to
make bullet with which to bring
down the Mayor. Onr free silver
Democratic friends furnish the votes,
but the gold standard Democrats take
the spoils 1t is to be supposed TINT
our free silver friends relish the situa-
ton.
