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."

Tin: lcvised census of Canada shows the

the newer provinces of the west, is grow

from being se rapid as that of the United
States.
Few readers of illustrated papers ap

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 deadlock in the Senate of Virginia
in regard te the election. of state auditor,
was broken yesterday by the adoption of
the Heuse concurrent resolution te elect
auditor, railroad commissioner, corpora
tion judges, and judges of appeals en
Thursday. 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

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.

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.

I'lllEAUS.
Philadelphia Press.
A dinner was given last night at the
Hetel Bellevue in honor of Franklin B.
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. Curie, Beauveau Beric,
Frederick Fralcy, A. D. Campbell, and J. B.
Altcmus. The invited guests included W.
II. Vaudcrbilt, Cornelius Vaaderbilt, Au
gustus Schell, Samuel Slean, Gee. A.
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

Le 21 Fevricr, 1S82.
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.
R," and appropriately filled with cigar
ettes. Dinner was served punctually at 0
o'clock and thirty sat down te table. 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.

The general results of the elections in
this city yesterday are no surprise te the
better posted politicians. Republicans
who fully understood the main features of
the cauv.iss for mayor and the diift of
opinion did net expect te elect Stauffer,
and Taw Democrats could be found
bofero election day who had much
confidence that the Democrats could
secure a majority en joint ballet
iu couueile iu a city which is gerry
mandered se as te threw the Demo
cratic vete largely into two of the nine
wards. The Democratic committee' : esti
mate for MacGonigle's majority "uu the
city war, 220, and though the roust has
confirmed this with singular exactness the
various ward returns were full of sur
prises, the Sixth aud Sccetid especially
disappointing the Democracy, the Fourth
aud Fifth going Republican beyond all i
estimates, while the First.Third, Seventh,
Eighth and Ninth did far better than wa.i j
expected of them. The securing e(" select
council was a decided victory, while the
Democracy suffer some unexpected losses
in Common council. Alderman MeCon MeCen MeCon
emy's re-election and Constable Andy
Flick r. defeat aic ether notable matures i
of the result. !
Details of tlu Day.
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.

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.
