THE RATCHET BURIED
coon FEELING IS PREVAILING IN
 PENSACOLA.
Bitter Fractional Feeling EngendeFed During Campaign Dying Out and
 Citizens Generally will
 Work for Ciry-s Good.

Pensacola, June. 9.--(SpeciaL )-One of the bitterest of campaigns, which has just closed, has been followed by a more general "buryIng of the hatch ct" than faas been witnessed here in many years, and the way the faction- alism is being wiped out has been a matter of considerable remark with the members of both, sides.
 One of the first things which start ed this general good feeling was the speech of the retiring mayor Captain T {. E.. Welles, yesterday at noon. when he turned the gavel over to his suc- cessor, c. H. Bliss, who in turn re- sponded in speech that was charac- terized with the best of feeling and which was as surprising as was the speech of the retiring mayor
 Today one of the defeated alder manic candidates came out in card in one of the papers expressing his wishes that the new admInistration would be successful and lending his aid in making it so. He congratulated his opponent on having obtained the offiee for which both of them fought. and said that he was really glad that such man was his successor.
 Taken all in all, the inaugural cere- mony wiped out all III feeling which had been engendered through the not political campaign, and this is the first time that such has occurred in this place in long time. On the oc- casion of the retiring administration two years ago, the defeated candidate for mayor left the council chamber without a word of encouragement to his successor or a word of farewell to the aldermen. Things were altogether different when Captain Welles retired yesterday.
