SANTIAGO DE CUBA, June 16.-The
first Cuban election passed without the
slightest disturbance in this province. In
this city there was only a small vote and
only one ticket, on account Of the with
drawal of the National party a week ago.
The white Democratic ticket was unan-
lmously elected and the same party was
successful throughout the department.
Probably not 20 per cent. of the legal cleo
tors voted. Senior Ginan was elected to
succeed himself as mayor of Santiago de
Cuba. He is a friend of Governor Castillo,
who organized a successful campaign and
will probably eventually favor annexation.

through all the ages, aud the puffed-up
pride and naughty spirit of our modern
American gold party is nearing that prec-
ipice unless this old adage is reversed.
Such passages may he taken at randum
from their venal press as the following:
His nomination four years ago was an
open affront to the sentiment prevailing
IN the intelligent and progressive section
of the Union, aud there is no evidence
that he is now more acceptable to that
sentiment than them
This sheer of our modern goldbug aris-
tocracy refers to Bryan and the plain

with his sans culot followers have in our

elevate their aristocratic noses to the

should presume to pass between the wind
and their nobility.
