There is considerable feeling manifested about the city over the election of Mr. Bassett, summarized by one of the local republicans as due to the fact that he ist a farmer, who has just moved to the city and has had no experience in the line of work he is about to pursue, that he has plenty of tnoney and that there were numerous other candidates.
