IT IS MAYOR LUICK

And He Has Only 432 Majority in the City.

SEABOLT AND DOTY ALSO

Harkins and Seyler Have Big Majorities.

There is 950 Difference in the Majorities in a Vote of Less Than 2500--The Result Given in Detail from the Various Wards.

The election is over. The city results are mixed. The democrats elect three men on the city ticket and the republicans two. Luick, as has been predicted from the first, carries the city by a handsome majority and is the next mayor by 432 majority. Mr. Reinhardt, the republican candidate, made a gallant fight against the extra heavy odds, and has made no enemies by his canvas. As was predicted in last evening's Argus, Harkins and Seyler lead the republican city ticket and are both elected. Harkins having 383 majority and Selyer 518. They are both active young men with hosts of friends, which fact counts on election day. Then they made an active, hustling canvass. William G. Doty was elected justice by 171. His was a good run and showed also the good effect of personal work. Walter T. Seabolt had 136 majority for president of the council. Mr. Seabolt was very averse to taking this nomination. His own personal popularity ran him ahead of his ticket, for the returns on the state ticket indicate that the city was republican this spring by from 150 to 200.

For mayor Mr. Luick carried every ward except in the Sixth and Seventh. His majorities were as follows: First ward 45, Second 230, Third 142, Fourth 56 and Fifth 27. Mr. Reinhardt carried the Sixth by 63 and the Seventh by 5. For president of the council, Mr. Seabolt carried the Second ward by 176 and the Third by 95. He came very near carrying the First which gave Mr. Pearson 2. Mr. Pearson carried the Fourth by 14, the Fifth by 3, the Sixth by 85 and the Seventh by 35. In considering Mr. Pearson's run, it is fair to remember that he was confined to the house with the grip during the campaign. The vote on mayor and president of the council was as follows:
