THE Democratic majotitms in this county average only half what they did two years agol' The Republican party is solid and IB good shapo. MOBRISOM'S majority in St. Olair was only about 2,000. For a "Republican" St. Clnlr gives rather heavy Demoorntlo majorttles.

THB ddds against Blame were great; the south, the Democratic nortn, the mugwumps, the prohibitionists and all the saloon keepers 1 associations, were a combination bard to resist. A BIG beer cask on wheels was the most prominent feature of the Democratic procession Saturday night.

It told the story of what the Democrats think the election means. WHAT is the use of Republicans making an effort to elect a Congressman in this district when they have the certainty that from 1,000 to 2,000 Republicans In St. Cluir will go back on their candidate? THE Republicans gof Alton made a better stand in the general land slide than in any other part of the State. They cast 50 more straight Republican rotes than they did in the great contest of 1880.

THE Democrats Saturday evening not Only had a large cask in the procession as an emblem of their politics, but also had near it, af we are informed, a keg of beer on tap ia order to strengthen the determination of those inclined to doubt or waver. FBLIX HENBY'S case of Felix Henry, the Kooky Fork murderer, came up before Judge Snyder at wardsville Wednesday, and was oontins ued in order that the stenographer's notes taken the trial could be cured. When this is done the motion for a new trial will be argued.

BELVA'S Democrats are now charging that Belva Lopkwood's votes have been counted for Elaine and they are threatening war in consequence. As Belva got threee votes, one in BaltN more and two in New York it is a quoss tion of vast importance In these close times. THE SOUND OF THE GRINDING is LOW. question as to whether a Republican or Democrat should have the privilege (P) of grinding out a few tunes on a band organ front of City Hall, depending on the result of the election, is still, of course, undecided. As the agreement for Thursday the 6th mat.

To all my friends and former era I beg to state that I am now at the popular dry goods house of H.

J. man where I would be pleased tojsee them, guaranteeing to sell them good goods at the very lowest prices. ths C. SPEECH. THE iilummationss Saturday evening were few and far between.

State street made some fine displays, and two or three residences on Henry street looked well; but on Alby, Market and Twelfth streets the prooessisn had a dark and dismal journey. On Second street all the saloons but two or three, were ablaze, otherwise the display was very slim, and the procession was the smallest and slimmastturnout of the paign. THE late political campaign being a very hot and exciting one has, doubtless, done good in causing the people generally, even the children, to become so interested in the matter that they have a better understanding of the politics of the country than ever before. Many of the juvenils can discourse quite intelligently on the tariff, the electoral vote, the Solid South and kindred questions, showing that they will grow up well qualified to take part as oitizens in National affairs.

Wm. Husklnsen has resigned the omce of Division Read- master of tbe C. A. railway, a position which he had held since the road opened in 1862 and performed the duties so well and acceptably that he is cone of foremost railroad men in that line in the country. Mr.

James Lumsden, recently of the C. B. Q. road, has beeu appointed to the position vacated br Mr. Huskinsou and the Road master's office and all connected with it hare been removed to Springfield.

MOKE BODBBON Democracy of Upper marched and yelled and rejoiced with torches, fireworks and music Monday eve, for all the situation was worth There were no emblematic liquor casks in line, as in the Democratic procession in Alton although there was plenty of beer, or something stronger, judging from wild, un'auiable actions of some the celebrants. The Bethalto Cornet Band furnished music for the occasion. The illuminations were, many of them, very line. About 300 persons were in the company this city, and the erowd was treated to a free supper after the march was over. DEATH OF Mas.

AMELIA Mrs. Amelia Hayes, widow of the late John W. Hayes, died Monday ing, at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Robt. M.

Reynolds, Upper Alton, after a protracted illness. Mrs. Hayes has been a resident of Alton or Upper Alton since 1868, with the exception of a short period when she lived in St. Louis. She was an estimable lady, highly respected by a large circle of tires and friends, She was a member of the Methodist ohwreh of this city.

Deceased leaves five children, viz; Mrs. Gillis and Mr. John Hayes of Califort nia; Mrs. Wm. Flynn and Mr.

Jas. N. Hayes of this city, and Mrs. Robt. Mo- Reynolds, of Upper Alton.

During tbe past few years Mrs. Hayes her home with her children, either in this city or Upper Her last Illness WM lingering; pamfuli but borne There Is something BUipUlottt about late election in Uodfrcy, tn JisO that township oast S72 votes far and 206 for Hancock, Rep. majority" 66. For Congress, Hay 189, Morrison 169. Hay's majority 80.

At the late election Cleveland received 246 votes and Blame 209, Democratic majority 84, a falling off of JUKI 100 in tke Republican Morrison received 68 majority over Needles, a Republican loss of 98 as with 1880. This is an Immense change for a small township casting only 454 votes, where the people are conservative and where there have been but few changes in population in the last four years, and indicates crooked work somewhere. North Alton precinct immediately ad joining (lodtrey gave 83 Republican majority this year, 9 more than in 1880. Foslerburg on the east and Brighton on the their usual Republican majorities. There is no probability that so many Republicans in Godfrey town" ship, in the same neighborhood, just over the township lines, should have changed their politics so suddenly.

If there had been any general Republican disaffection it would have spread to adjoining townships. But the whole change was in Godfrey and as it involves fully one-third the Republican vote, there is evidently something wrong. It looks like some fraud had been perpetrated. We hope the Republicans of Godfrey will look the matter CHANGE OF FIRM. Mr, H.

Death of James" Mann. Mr, James Mann long a resident of Alton, at one time a member of the City Council, and weir known to many of our citizens, but for a year or more a resident of the unfortunate victim of an accident yesterday by which he was almost instantly killed. He acted as engineer at the railway water tank at Godfrey. It was necessary to put in a new boiler and in removing the aid boiler, it being suspended by a riek, the heavy mass unexpectedly swung around and crushed Mr. Main, who was assisting in the work, against the side of the building with snob fatal effect that he'dled in five minutes.

Det- ceased was a native of England, a most estimable gentleman, about 56 years of age. He left a widow (his second wife) and four children, besides other relatives and' many friends to mourn his sudden death. DEMOCRATS have burned their powder and emptied their flasks.
