Richard H. Commerford of Lowell died this morning. The deceased was son of the late Richard Commerford, for many years foreman of the printing department of the Merrimack Print works. He was well know tbouahout the city, and his family, a wife and three children, reside on School street. UB was working temporarily in Jersey City at his trade.

His brothers are Thomas employed in Ayer's laboratory; Edward J. and John in the bottling business on Davidson street. Paiticulars of his death are not yet received. A New Idea. Messrs.

Maguire and McBassock, the street nuinberers, have struck a new idea. They have submitted it to Mayor Pickman and he approves it. The idea is to give a name to each avenue in Lictle Canada, instead of having a person's address read No. 1 Jodoin's, Block, etc. It happens that down iu Little Canada there aie several blocks bearing the same name, so that a person looking for another person, who lives in a certain block, must search all day before he finds him.

This idea of providing names for each avenue is a fair one, inasmuch as it will do away with the block, and will be of valuable assistance to the assessors. The avenue will bear patriotic French names, such as Rocbambeau, Montcalm, Champlain, etc. The renumbering of tbe stieets in Little Canada was completed yesterday. First in the Field.

HOW REPUBLICAN PAPERS ABE HACKI-NG AWAY. Tlio ri(i7ou Kesorlu to tlio Meanest TiiotlcB of All--It Men Who ATO Not Candidates--Mead Set Free to Voto JTor Xiawlon. The temperance societies of the city are working hard to elect Anthony A. Conway because they beheva that it he wets in tbe boaid of aldermen whether the city went foi license or no license he would insist upon the strict enforcement of the law. He is one of the young men aga'inst whom there is uot a woid He bus ahvas bc-en deuply interested in the success ol tbe democratic will maku a valuable member of the hoan! of aldermen, lie favors license, but if he be de- iented all his iriends will vote no license next year.

It is remarkable that while the republican candidates are being assailed from without and within their own party, very little has been said against the democratic nominees. They are all men of clean, record, men wboai the party should delight to honor by election, men who will give the city a good, clean businesslike administration. The only objection which the republicans urge against the democratic ticket is that it is not The republicans claim to have a representative ticket because it was chosen or rather forced upon a convention. The candidates who could not get the necessary support to secure a nomination got meu to count them-iu. ts it any wonder that the friends ot candidates who were counted out should complain? Is it any wonder they 'should cast their influence with the democrats? Not atall.

They have simply been oveirun by the repubhcan machine, that had undertaken to put Dutchy McDonald's ticket in the field and succeeded. As soon as the McDonald ticket was dubbed a "boer ticket," the Citizen came out and said tho democratic ticket was made up by Mr Uarvey. Tbe city committee exercised good judgment in making its selections in pickme out the uion most likely to be elected. Of course a lot of mugwumps might have beon chosen that would receive as many republican as democratic votes, bat to nominate such mea would be to put a premium upon paity treachery. Good democrats first, then the stiongest men in the paity.

That was the rule foHowed by the city committee and bettor meu could not he selected. It hut remains for the democratic rank and file to elect the tickeu This can be done with ease if every democrat votes for the nominees of his party. It is rumored that Mr. Dunlap ia Ward Thiee is out offering all sorts inducements to democrats to vote for him on election day. The other candidates are undoubtedly doing the those who enter into any of their deals will jeopardize the llcoijse vote.

There are now rumors of deals with republicans and it not checked before election clay, the city is liable to go for no license. The republicans received 829,600 for the the democratic slate committee Henry Cabot Lodge gave the former $2500; John A. Faulkner of Lowell S500 The disbursements were $29,267.16. For tbe democrats Chailes S. Lilley gave S100, Michael Corbett, $100, Moses T.

Stevens $500. The Mail this morning moralizes upon the propriety of conducting a non-abusive campaign and makes particular allusion to tiio attacks upon Mayor Pickman. TUB Susr dealt with the issues ratber than the men, with the tax 'juggling piocess, the excessive valuations, the general extravagance and hypocritical efforts to make tha public believe that tbe administration was for economy. THE SUN has made no personal attack upon any inan but it would be sadly delinquent and untriip to tbe democracy if it did not point out tha characteristics of the republican ticket, the methods by it was nominated and the moans by which republicans will endeavor to secure its election. Mr.

Bayles goes into the police court to find tuft oi a few men convicted of vaiious minor offenses who are now employed on the street depaiiniuut. Some of thw men this writer has singled out for his odium aio honest hard working men and tke fact, that they were unfortunate enough to tall into the hands of the police at any particular time is no reason why they should be banished from the cily or lelt to staive in idleness. If Mr. Bayles continues to work up tbe personal records of men employed by the city, perhaps some scribe as reckless and unscrupulous as himself would write up the record, of a certain official ia the health, department. story wouki'be far more interesting than-tbe mere statement that a street em- ployeVaVfiQed in itho police court for drunkenness.

William Meade, one of the men whom Mr. Bayles singles out as a jail bird employed in the street department, was llber- ated before half bis sentence had expired on condition that he would vote fur Law- ton. He has been down on the board of health list of applicants, ind lias several times beon promised work by Mr. Bayles. Air.

Bayles probnbly thinks there is no obligation to keep faith with a man who has been iu Jail. It means a radical change in the method of governing our city if the new charter be adopted. Hotter abolish the common council than preserve it while taking most impoitant powers. Let everybody votu "Yes" on the license question aad ''jo" on the charter, It means a loss of $80,009 to tho city if no license be caviied. fcOCALS.

Ho spent a week in trying to tiMce tho miss- insr man. but he could not follow him an Inch beyond the hotel donr.

The reason for the disappearance, if there is a reason, is us inexplicable as the act itbelf. There were no domestic financial difficulties.

There have been no bodies found by the police which answer his description, and he is not confined at acy of the hospitals or prisons, aor is there any woman in the case.

The whole mutter is a serious conundrum at the pi'eaent time. He went to photographer's shop on. Bromfleld street and ordeied some gooda, which he had laid aside, and for which he promised to pay when he called on his way to the depot. The goods are at fcho store yet. Ha never afterward called at.
