A QUIET ELECTION

INTEREST ON MARSHAL FIGHT

Despite the bitter campaign that
has been Waged the past twO~weeks,
Walla Wallas city election is passing
off quietly enough today. Opposing
forces were out bright and early it
is true, but the rivalry that was eX-
pected to border on the strenuous in
several of the precincts has settled
down to goOd-natured bantering with
a few bets being placed at intervals.
Up to 3 o'clock this afternoon a
comparatively light vote had been
cast, considering the fierce campaign
and interest voters were expected to
take in the election, 60 per cent Of
the registered vote being estimated to
have been cast at that time. The in
terest is centering on the chief of pO-
lice fight, and both Brown and KEGS
forces are claiming victory even at
this early date. The friends of each
candidate are working quietly but
earnestly, and delinquent voters are
being sought out and urged to vote.
AZ CaswelIs cigar store arrange
ments have been made to receive re-
turns, huge blackboard for that pur
pose being put up this afternoon. II
the full registered vote is cast, It is
estimated that returns from the small
er precincts will commence coming
in about 10 O'Clock.

Alexander II. narrowly escaped cap
ture by the Turks.
The siege of Plevna was one of the
most remarkable in history Soon
after the severe battles at Shipka
Pass, following the outbreak of the
Turko- Russian war in 1877. Osman
Pasha. the Turkish commander, with
$4,000 men, was for the third time as
saulted by the Russians at Plevna.
On September 9Th and for three days
following the $50 guns of the Russian
batteries poured a tremendous fire
upon the redOubts commanding the
town. Then followed an assault
which proved to be one of the blood
lest struggles of the century OF the
$4,000 Russians who charged the re-
doubts, $4,000 were either killed or
wounded. The Turks also suffered
dreadfully.
AS it was found that the position
held by the Turks was impregnable,
General GurkO, the Russian cOmman-
Gel. decided on a seige. The work of
inv 2Stment was intrusted to General
TOdleben, who, by the beginning of De-
cember had Plevna shut in by the
Russian lines. Soon afterwards Os-
man Pasha attempted to cut through
the investing lines, but was driven
back into the town. By degrees the
Turks were reduced to almost starva-
tiOn and Obliged to captulate
What followed is a matter of his
tory. Just as the Russians had made
clear the way to COnstantinOple the
European powers interfered and forced
peace. By the terms of the treaty
signed in Berlin on July 13, 1878, Bull
garia was constituted an autonomous
principality. and it was in celebration
Of this exent that the great masol-
cum, dedicated to Gar Alexander II.
The savior OF Bulgaria, as the Bull

The Union the past three days has
