The electioii in this city on Monday last, though somewhat "mixed," resultcd substantially in a Democratie victory. - For the first time in (ive years we have a Democratie Mayor, and the new Couneil vrill stand 8 Deinocrats to 4 llepublicans. Last year it was a tie. The Republieaus coutested the ground wi:h desperation, giving up only when the ballots were counted. We lose the Justico, Marshal, and Collector, or rather we do not gain thom, but this hardly compeuaates the Republicana for their Waterloo defeat iu the Second Ward, on the vote of which they relied to put the Mayor through and gat the Council. - The Democrats of that ward did nobly, and if the Third and Fourth had pulled as even, we should havo saved Ju3tice and Collector, and perhaps Marshal. ampbell has 45 majority in the city, Lawkenüe 5'0, and five of the Ropubli can candidates fer Twents sniall majorities. A ful! tabular statement will be found in auother column, which our readers can analyzo at their leisure. We ïnay brieSy sum up : The Democrats elect Mayor, Recorder, Street Commissioner, ono Supervisor, four Aldermen, and three Constables; the RepublicaBS, Justice, Collector, Marshal, one Supervisor, two Aldermen, and two Constables.
