LANCASTER 1MILY INTELLIGENCER WEDKFSDAY FEBRUARY 22 !Ss2 ilaiuastcr fntellfflencer. WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEB. 22, 1882. The City Election. As had been forecast by the Intelli gences, and as waslieped for by many secxl citizens upon whom party ties pressed se strongly as te even make them vote for Stauffer, the city election yesterday resulted in the triumphant re election of Mayer MacGenigle and the popular endorsement of his course as ex ecutive of the city. In this election the people of Lancaster show their approval of honest, efllcient and economical city 'evernment. Tliev show, tee, that they are unwilling te chance it for dishonest, inefficient and waste ful municipal government. After an ex perience of the first for four years from the present mayor they are net willing te go back from him and it te sucli as they had under Stauffer and such as they might expect again. They are net disposedteexchangoa conspicuously fit man for a conspicuously unfit one te have executive direction of our munici pal affairs. The control of common councils is wrested from the Democracy by a few votes in the First and Third wards which might have saved it ; and with its less the Democracy lese control of the joint convention te elect city officers. Although the present gerrymander of the city hardly allows a chance of a Demo cratic majority in councils, the less of it by se slender a majority is te be re gretted, espi'ciitliy as the Democratic officials had served se fait li fully and ac ceptably in their respective offices. The acquisition of a majority in the upper branch of councils, and of a control which will most likely continue for two years at least, is a most gratifying result of yesterday's struggle. It may be better for tlfe interests of the city and for the vigilance of the parties that the respon sibility for the local legislation is divi ded between them. It is net likely that anything of a I partisan character detri mental te public interests can be get through with such an organ i..tt ion of the two branches. The question of the city debt went entirely by default, few voters taking any interest in it, and still fewer tinder standing the issue involved. The way in which tickets are directed by the law te be prepared is well calculated te de feat all such prepositions at a popular election ; and the responsibility is thrown upon the councils-elect te devise the proper improvements te be made in fie water works and te prepare a scheme te be submitted te the voters at an elec tion separate and apart from any ether. The councils are happily se constituted that this or any ether preposition touch ing local legislation can be considered and must be decreed free from partisan feelings and iniluenccs. Municipal Reform. The Philadelphia Committee of One Hundred has again vindicated the beauty of its existence and the intelli gence and vigor of its management. It supplies the political need of the town in affording a power outside the politi cal parties capable of controlling them in the interests of the citizen. The Re publican party, as the dominant, suffers from its influence-, it was, in fact, the infamous conduct of the administration of this party which allied the geed citi zens of the town in an organization for their protection. The minority Demo cratic party has necessarily been strength ened by its alliance with the non-partisan Committee of One Hundred against the common enemy. The credit for the victories wen cannot be claimed by the Democrats, further than in their nomin ation of geed men, who deserved the support of independent citizens ; and they would have been very silly te have refused te nominate the only class of men who had a chance of election. They see new clearly that they may achieve success by deserving it ; and we hope they will net seen for get the lessen. The Committee of One Hundred stands between the parties ready te give its influence te the best candidates of each. It has suffi ciently shown that its influence is worth catering for. The Republican party is net able te seek it, because the leaders who control it are the men whom the committee's arm is raised te strike down. New is the Democratic oppor tunity. If the Republican leaders cared mere for their party than for themselves they would get out of the way and let mere reputable men take charge of it. But as their devotion, te their party is wholly prompted by self-interest, they will. take their party down with them when they go down, and give the field te the Democracy. Te this extent it is true, as they new declare, that the Committee of One Hun dred is laboring in the Democratic in terest ; but te the same extent it is equally a fact that they themselves are working in the same interest. They are the men the committee is gunning for ; it allies itself with the Democrats te achieve its object. The only question is whether its object is a worthy one ; and about this there is no doubt. The interests of Philadelphia require the ex pulsion from power of the men who con trol the Republican organization. If the successful efforts put the Democrats in power it is because the Republican lead ers, who are obnoxious te public senti ment, have refused te stand down and had te be put down by a Democratic and Independent Republican coalition. The Committee of One Hundred is doing a great work. It is teaching a geed lessen te political bosses. It is de monstrating the power of the voter. It is showing a way by which the citizen may escape being dragged at the chariot wheels of party bosses. "We may enjoy the demonstration particularly just new, lwcause the water flews te our mill ; but we believe wc would applaud it were it otherwise. There is nothing mere dis gusting than being bossed Theoretically we all ought te have a say in our affairs. Practically we all knew we have net. The country is run by bosses ; and at every blew they get, te whatever party they belong, we smile. TnE attempt of the Republicans te provoke the volunteer firemen of the city into general opposition te Mayer Mac Mac eonigle was futile if indeed, it was net fatal te Stauffer. Intelligent firemen were net deceived and these who were inspired by passion or worse motives set ati example that did their Republican candidate no geed. The views of the Intelligent eu have at no time undergone any change concerning the use of money at elections, and during the late campaign, as often before and as we new repeat, it has been ready te join with our contemporaries and the city Democracy are willing te unite with both the Republican factions in any sincere organized effort te put a step te it in every shape and form con. demued by law or objectionable te sound morals. Se far as we are informed, by report or observation, there was less buy ing and selling of votes under any pre tensein Lancaster yesterday than gen erally occurs, the expenditures of the political parlies being mainly for their " poll committees." Many members of these worked faithfully yesterday, and in their labors and exposure earned their stipend ; but many mere claimed and get money for "labors" which amounted te nothing except casting their votes for the party te which they loudly shout their allegicnce. The pay ment of such men for such services is only a degree less objectionable and de moralizing than te pay men for voting against their consciences if this class of floating and purchasable voters can be Slid te have consciences. The way te step the whole businesses we have said before and after elections, is for the politicians, who are as much plagued with it as the people, te agree te end it. A conceited, sincere agreement en their part will terminate it ; and, although in a minor ity and therefore net entitled nor able te complete, the work, the Democracy of this city and county are ready te join in the beginning of the task and te stay witl. it until it is finished. The new councils will be largely coin posed of new men. Seme of the old members were retired at the primaries and ethers at the general election. Few experienced members go back in either branch. The volunteer firemen, whose grievances entered se largely into the elections, lese some friends and gain some. Fresh men will doubtless provide some fresh measures. We trust they will net be " tee fresh." V tin's barl's busted. The bounding Darr was lieunced. Watciikk Jee Hubcr couldn't have w.-.tche:!. The Kicker he kicked, au-1 the Scratch-ei- he scratche 1.

Iiexts arc still advancing in New Yerk city, and the most experienced real estate dcaleis express the opinion that the in crease this year ever last year's rents will average at least fifteen per cent. Business is encroaching in many directions en the residence streets, and there is a great de mand for dwelling houses and fiats. Tin: lcvised census of Canada shows the whole population of the Dominion, from Prince Edward's Island te the Pacific ocean te be 4,:24,810, or about the same as the state of Pennsylvania, which in 18S0 was 4,283,891. Canada, especially in the newer provinces of the west, is grow ing and prospering, but its growth is far from being se rapid as that of the United States. Few readers of illustrated papers ap preciate the heavy expeuse attendant en really fine engravings. The picture en tac first page of the third number of Our Continent, the new illustrate! publication, cost for the engraving aloue two hundred and fifty dollars, while one will shortly appear in the department of household decoration, in the sanie paper, for which the engraver is te receive four hundred dollars, and the designer also a large sum additional. Gov. LewitY, of Mississippi, in a recent special message te the Legislature states that the prospects at present for additional railroads in that state is better than ever before in its history, and that the several lines of reads new projected will develop sections of Mississippi that will in a lew years greatly increase the revenue, and proportionately lighten the burdens of the people. The governor very sensibly urges ajunien of effort in the establishment of cotton factories simultaneously with the building of railroads. The New Yerk delegation in Congress is making a strong effort te have the mint removed te that city. The argument chiefly relied upon is the sirgument of su perior economy, but this can have no great weight as against the preposition that the mint buildings in Philadelphia shall be enlarged and extended. Pennsyl vania representatives, therefore, ought te support the demand for extension and op nose that for removal. If nnr annirnmn show as much resolution and energy in the matter as the New Yorkers show, thcre is little probability that this last of the many attempts te have the mint taken away from Philadelphia will succeed.

The vote was 10 te 17, and the result was reached by the return te their party allegiance of three Rcadjustcrs who had voted with the Democrats te postpone the election. The action is regarded as insuring the defeat of Massey and the choice of Allen, the Readjuster candi date. At the Republican caucus of the New Jersey Legislature, in Trenten, last night, Goe. M.

The Gas Trust has been driven from its last stronghold, the select council cham ber, and the people, following the Citi zens' Committee of One Hundred in their allaut euslaught en the riugster.s, have achieved a graud and decisive victory. A few brigands remain te pester the cohorts el reform, but the peoples' representatives cau new present te their opponents a solid and immovable phalanx, evei ready te de battle for the right. McMulliu has been reelected by a small majority and Thorn Thorn eon is made'a select councilman from the Thirtieth ward, but with these exceptions the people have swept everything before them and in many of the ceuneihnanic contests the results attained were most surprising. The influence that the citizens' Commit tee has exercised in the canvass is well shown by the returns for police magis trate. Brown, the regular Republican nominee, is elected by a majority that is very small bscause the One Hundred hon ored his opponent with their indersement, although agreeing te made no special effort in his behalf. But in the whirl wind that swept through the city yester dav. and that seuht te uproot every thing net stamped with the recognized brand of reform Mr. Brown suffered al though he was net defeated. The vote cast was surprisingly light.and this, tee, indicates the power of the Citi zens' organization, for the pouring rain was mere likely te keep its adlicients indoors or away from the polls than dampen the ardor of thes-j who soil' at municipal reform. In February, 1881, when.Mayer King fas elected, the total vote was 150,013, but yestciday thcre were but 115,103 vete.i cast for police magistrates. Ceucils will be revolutionized by yester day's tornado.

The ward lights were very animated despite the rain. The I'hllatlclphlK Election. Ledger. A grand geed work was done yesterday by the independent voters who supported the nominees of the Citizens Committees end the Committee of One Hundred. It was very bad weather for the bosses. Ceuucihueu were voted for in twenty seven ward.--,and of i hem the candidates of the Reformers were successful in twenty, and carried etic-half te two-thirds of their ticket in four ethers. The bosses carried hut three out of the entire twenty-seven. Of the twelve select council vacancies te be filled, the candidates endorsed by the Cem uuttcc et unc iiututrcd were succcssiui in eight ; the bosses were beaten in two etheis, and the sole trophies they have left are McMulliu in the Fourth and Thornten in the Thirtieth Of all the obedient servants of the Gas bosses in select councll'whe were up for re-election, McMulliu alone get through. There were forty-two common eeuncihneu te be elected, :im thiity-sic of these are carried by the citizens who acted in co operation with the Committee of One Hundred. The storm of the 21st of February, 1892, will be remembered as very severe en the gas be.-iscs and all their allies. Gilbert, Mar tin, Blair, Mulliu and Miles go out of select euncil. and Smith of the Twenty eighth, and Matthews of the Eleventh, &tay in, and with these are Gress, Town send, Woelvertou, Banes, Milten and Whittakcr six geed men and true. A power of better bleed is thus infused into select council. Every member of common council new in office, or who has been who steed up for the public welfare, and was a candidate yesterday, was re-elected, and it is specially gratifying te see among these every one of the common ceuucihueu against whom the bosses showed their bit tcrcst venom ; Lex, Clay, Henry, Page. Dallas Hall, Jehn L. Grim, Strickland and Vandcrsliea, and with these arc twotity twetity niiic ethers, staunch friends of Reform, among the present members and the new men. This is a splendid vindication for the men who did their dutv in defiance of the bosses, and a graud accession of strength te the cause of the people. There was a heavy shower yesterday, and light ning and thunder, with a bright rainbow at the close. Kasten. II. J. Buckley, Republican, is defeated by Lawrence Titus. Denieciat, for chief burgess.

Gewcn, president of the Philadelphia & Keadmg railroad, by a low el ins personal friends in this city. Geerge de B. Kiem was iu the chair and the guest of the evening sat at his right. Among the gentlemen supporting Mr. Keim were nenry i rait. Jieivean, juuu isuinu-si, .j. B. Lippincott, G. C. Knight, A. J. Autele, Henry Lewis, Themas McKean, Edward M. Lewis, II. P.

Aleyt and Themas Dicksen all of New Yerk ; General J. Magee, of Corning, New Yerk ; Jehn W. Garrett and Rebert Garrett, of Baltimore, ami Henry E. Packer, James E. Gewcn and Moncure Robinson, sr., of Philadelphia. The scene iu the dining room was one of rare beauty. The table was oval, and in the centre was a bed of flowers in full bloom, consisting of calia lilies, geraniums, narcissus, cin eraries, and ether cheice anil fragrant, blossoms. Fringing the llewer bed, which was eighteen feet long by two and a half feet wide, were festoons of suiilax, forming star points opposite each plate. At the head and feet of the table were pyramids of cheics fruits cuclustercd in flowers. In the centre of the screen whkli divided the apartment was a tree twelve feet high with wide-spreading branches covered with white camellias. Festoons of evergreens entwined with blossoms adorned the walls, chandeliers and side boards. On the wall bchiud the centre windows was a beautiful floral device, forming the words, " Iu Hener of F. B. Gewcn," the first three words being in red carnations, and the name iu tea roses. On either side, a few feet away from the centre, were twin devices iu bensileuu roses, forming the words " New Yerk " and ''Maryland." These inscriptions were joined by floral chains, ai;d were intended te be typical of the support givcu te Mr. Gewcn by the Vanderbilts of New Yerk and the Garretts of Baltimore. In different positions about the room were magnificent vases of rare aud beautiful china, candelabra of old Dresden, ormolu clocks, bronze statuettes and ether articles of vertu ; in fact, wherever the cye rested something beautiful was iccegnizcd. Tha scene was a feast for the connoisseur anil the asthote, and the dainties would have done honor te the banquets of Lucullus and Epicurus. The whole of 1 he decora tions were arranged, uuder the personal supervision of Geerge Beldt, by Hudsen, the florist. The menu cards were in bt-ek form, the covers being of white satin, with the hfc of dishes printed inside en stilt parch ment iu geld Jetters, and the wines en suite in red. On one side of the satin covers was a pen and ink sketch of a loco motive and train of cars in motion. Be neath was inscribed : Pinner. te Franklin I. Gewex.

A feature of the dinner, which was served a la Russc, was the Sesbct an Chemin de for. In front of each guest was placed a diminutive locomotive and tender about a feet long supported en eighteen inches of railroad track, with steel rails and sleepers complete. The cowcatcher formed the handles te a little drawer in the body of the engine in which repose the iced punch. All the tenders were ornamented with the initials " P.

A few of the gentlemen who were te have been present were unavoidably prevented and sent letters aud telegrams of regret. Mr. Keim, in proposing the health of the guest of the evening, warmly eulogized his friend, his remarks being received with hearty aud sympathetic applause. Mr. Gewcn replied with much emotion, aud the remainder of the dinner was de voted altogether te informal conversation and general conviviality. Drunk anil Disorderly. There was a geed deal of drunken and disorderly conduct yesterday, notwith standing the closing of the saloons and taverns ; but as it was election day the offenders were leniently dealt with and but few arrests were made. The mayor had half a dozen customers te dispose of and Alderman Samson sent Prank Wuach te jail for 25 days for drunken and dis orderly conduct. Twe in One Say.

The total vete polled, ene of the largest, ever known iu the city,and by far the great est ever cast at. a municipal election, was brought out early, despite the blinding, pelting rain which fell ncaily all day, no hlue sky or sunshine being seen until 5 o'clock iu the afternoon. The poll com- 1 miltccs and ward workers sloed the stress of weather bravely, and under umbrellas and with gum overcoats hi aved the storm while carriages and every available vchi- I cle that could be secured were brought into rcpusitieu te get the voters te the polls. I he people came out unusually early and voted rapidly. There was little drunkenness or disor der : and for the most bait coo. I feelinir i was manifested by the opposing sides, and there wasn c a great amount el wrangling and contention. Seme illegal votes were no doubt get in, and some legal votes kept out, as there always arc ; buten the whele thcre was le.s disputation than usual about the rights and wrongs of voters and the decisions of the beards were generally acquiesced in. There was a verv considerable amount of money in the election and the poll com mittees weic large and well paid : but there, was net by any means thcpiefusc j put chase of votes that under various de I vices has prevailed upon former occasions, and no sucli unblushing bribery as can be seen en the curbstone at any Republican primary. There was perhaps mere ' kicking " ; ai;d "scratching " than has ever prevailed i at even a local election. Various causes of i disaffection in both parties operate 1 in all j wards. Many voters, came te the polls with their tickets carefully "fixed " and ethers openly and avowedly voted a tieket j in opposition te their lifi-kmg and well ! Known political convictions. Seme of j these chauges were the result of per ; senal grievances, some of factional j feeling, and some voters were mi ; raculeusly and mysteriously changed in t thotwinklingefau eye; notably in th" Sixth j waid, some who went te bed en Monday night for MacGenigle, waking up en Tues day morning active supporters et Stauffer. The effects of these eccentricities are plainly discernible in the returns. On the preposition for or against the increase of debt by a 607,000 lean te make certain water works improvements there was little or no popular interest. Other issues entirely obscured this, and of the few voters who thought of ih who had it forced upon their atentien most seemed te have little or no understanding of the question and thought it safe le vote against auy increase of the debt. And se it failed by a large majority, and taimht most ferei- bly that such questions cannot be sub- ! milted for dispassionate settlement at a general election. j The First AVaril. ! Of the se-called Republican wards, the j home of Commedore Hicstand, Three iiunurcu-ann.sixer .1. Hay Brown and "Chronic Office Helder" Charles F. Ebcrman, makes the best showing for the Democrats. Select Councilman Henry Decrr, supposed te be unconquerable, bites the dust before the stout lance of Jelly Geerge Brown, and the nlacc that has long known what the Examiner calls " a First Ward Butcher" will knew him no mere. Jehn Slough and Jacob Reese were beaten for council, partly because of Dr. Davis's popularity and the gen eral acceptability of his course in council, and partly because of a personal liht made against Slough. Alderman Mc Conomy's splendid victory ever a most inveterate politician and persistent office holder, Collector's Clerk C. F. Ebcrman, is a rare tribute te his meritorious official record ; and the signal defeat of Ebcrman has left a geed deal of soreness in his party. The Repubiicaus elected their constable and assessor, as had been ex pected. The .Second ward. In the Second ward, where both chair men of the county committees reside and i nearly all the newspaper men. and where cx-bupcrmtendent or Water Works Hal bach made a special light, the vote was unexpectedly large and came out early. Beth parties were well-organized and get their men te the polls. The voting was very straight en mayor, aud when the polls closed the Dcmeeiatic window book footed u til Republican majority, but the poll men thought the cutting -would be iu MacGoniyle's favor. It turned out that there were hardly a dozen struck tickets en mayor, and Stanffer's majority was even mere than his friends expected. R. A. Evans for selcct.ceuneil was largely voted for by Democrats aud considerably cut by Republicans. Huiat made an un expected run for common council, and MeMullen, against whom the opposition centered its strength, was unexpectedly defeated, though both be and Lichty ran well up. The Third Ward. There was a bloody factional fight among the Republicans of Third ward, resulting from the way iu which McMel len's friends had been slaughtered at the primariesand the effect of this aud of Mr. Henry wolfs personal popularity was that he is elected te select council by a handsome majority. Capt. Gee. F. Sprcwas almost elected te the cuPbrauch, and the auti-Barr facnrnave the satisfaction of know ing that the rotund alderman will net be clerk of the next select council. He is also slated for defeat for the office of alderman aud the ward gave a geed acceuut of itself en the mayoralty. The Republican Strongheldx. In the Fourth and Fifth wards the Re publicans with heavy majorities at their backs, aetive politicians, plenty of money, Iriendly election officers aud all the con veniences of the occasion, polled heavy ma jorities, although in the Fifth their candi date for alderman, Michael McGliun, a most notoriously uulit man, was nearly defeated and would have been beaten out of sight save for the self-sacrificing efforts of his opponent Mr. Win. B. Strine in behalf of the Democratic caudidate for mayor. Mr. Strino was an unwilling caudidate and had no notion of " epcuiug an office." The llloedy Sixth. The Sixth ward was a battle ground. Postmaster Marshall, Senate Clerk Coch ran aud many ether Republican ofDce holders worked ihe ward up briskly and fought their battle desperately. The Dem ocrats counted en a Republicau advautage of some j0 en the straight vote, but hoped te partly overcome this ou mayor and te elect their select councilman and seme members te t'se common branch. They wcie completely beaten, except for asses sor and censtabiu offices iu which the in cumbents always have great advantage. Twe lirinucrailu Strongholds. In the Seventh and Eighth wank the Democrats fought bravely and despite the storm did well. The opposition became demoralized early in the day aud the Democracy made a clean sweep in both wards. The result in the Eighth was especially gratifying because of Republican beasta that it was demoralized and dis affected. The party there never worked mere harmoniously, solidly aud efficiently. Old and young pulled bravely together and their heroic ellerts were crowned with the splendid majority of 41! for MacGenigle. That settled it. The Old Mniti Ne ward deserves mere credit than the Niutb. There tee the opposition boasted of Democratic disaffection, and were answered by a splendid organization of the Democracy with a clean sweep, even beating that traitor te them, Andy b lick, by a big majority. It was a great day for the Democracy el" the Ninth ward. UKUiilVl.Nti Till: NfcWS. The .Scenes en the Street After Iho l'ellit Cloned. The square was crowded very early in the evening, and big crowds gathered in and around the newspaper offices te hear the news. They were slew coming irj and though the Democrats weie confident of success, the unexpected majorities in the Republican wards and the less of common council discouraged them a little; by midnight the crowds had greatly do de creased, but when the Eighth ward was reported officially wild cheers rent the air. The band had gene home, but a few drum: woie found ; the crowd marched te the Stevens heuse, called the mayor te a front winclew.and cheered him asain and again. W. U. Jlensel addressed them briefly, and after serenading Alder man MeG'ouemy and Select Councilman elect B:ewu and ethers, the boy marched through and railied the First, Ninth and Eighth wards and made it lively forsov fersov forsev eral hours.
