The Center, the prohibition organ of tliis state, rejoices oyor the triumphant electlon of Benj. J. Conrad, prohibitionist, as justicc l)f the 11 thiscity. Both the republicau and democratie city conventions refused to nominate a candidate for this office, deeming t suprerae folly to do so, as the term until July 4th next, was so short that no oue would care to take business to a justice holding offlee for only a few weeks. Here was a grand chance ! in opportuuity that presents itself only onee or more in a life-time! The prohibitiouUta tumbled to tha opportunity! They saw the point ! Word was passed clear along the line, from Henry Wilmot way up to Spence, to keep mum! A stil 1hiint campaign was inaugurated. Benj. J. Conrad was groomed and put on the course to run alone with no political nag against hiiu! What a surprise party when the votes were counted ! Iienj Conrad had receiyed 19 votes in this wliole city, out of over 1,600 vetes cast for regular candidates. Air. Conrad had secured a magnificent triuinpli ! He was elected ! When the council, doubting its right to g've a certifícate, referred the matter to the city attorney to secure his opinión, bluster was indalged in. A communication was sent to the council, (backed by a citizen's league circular), threatening instant litigation If he should be denied the benefits of his grand triumph at the polls! And this, felluw-citizens, is the victory the prohibition organs rejolce over.
