LL" After a week of calm reflection ho News says of the election of this city : " In this city tho result is ex ceedingly gratifying." As in the same artiole the result in the State is spoken of as only " very gratifying," we may safely take it for grantud that our ccemporary's gratification increasea as republioan victories dimish tozero, and )ulow.

The eandidates for Mavor on botli tickets had warm and arden friends, wlioso voten and efforts were freely given, and resulted in the eleotion of Dr. Wells, the Democratie nominee Dr. Wells is eminently fitted for the po sition and will make a good Mayor, N B. Cole, the Recorder elect is a young man of some business capacity, and wil undoubtedly keep the records in gooc style. Mr. Charles A. Chapin, his competitor, was absent when nomiuated, and all the week fullowing, or he would have left Mr. Co!e far behind ; as it is the suecessful candidate has not much to brag of. He ie a Democrat of unyielding mplacability, and up to the present timo has never been able to see any thing good outside of that torn and broken party. The Aldermen elect are fair men and will unddubtedly do what their judgments díctate to be right.
