THE LATE CITY CAMPAIGN

By the time this issue reaches most of its readers. Bridgeport's city cleo ton of 1909 will be over. and the only duties remaining will be to pick up the dead and inter them decently, to salve the hurts Of the wounded and to draw perhaps useful lessons for the future from the returns.
 The campaign was short but warm. Tho Farmer has no regrets to express for its share therein It's campaign ammunition was wholly supplied by offSctaa records. and it desires to voice. at this time. its gratitude for timely aid rendered by the somewhat injudic- fous utterances of the two Lee organs which supplied. free of charge and perchance without due thought of con- seouences. some phrases of iIlumina- tive value The Farmer also desires to seknowledge gratefully the useful inforunation given by Republicans who found themselves unable to approve their party's action.
 The Farmer did not indulge in snud-throwing"; it did not make use of opprobrious epithets; 1t did not call any candidate of the opposing party "a villain and a horse thief" Moth ing of such kind was necessary, and the policy decided upon was to cite the official records and to comment there upon as their enormities might seem Co warrant and even demand. The underlying basis of this policy was the principle once announced by the late Senator Hawley in the Hartford Cour- ant. .Decency in politics. We regret to add that this principle was observed in the breach rather than the observ- anee by the opposing party.
 But it is all over now. and the city may resume its wonted quiet. provided the election returns are so decisive in their figures as to preclude any post election contests. Let us most sim cerely hope that such proves to be the factl

Crane Declines Banquet
 As He's Going Abroad

who recently was recalled as Minister designate to China, will leave in a few days for Europe, according to a tele- gram received here from New York. MT. Crane assigned the trip abroad as his reason for declining "a public banquet proposed in his honor.
 Mr. Cranes telegram was addressed to David R. F'organ, President of the National City Bank. and one of fifty prominent Chicagoans who signed the invitation to the banquet. which was intended as an expression of belief in the correctness of the former Minister designate's attitude just prior to his recall.
