The election at Ypsilanti on Mouday resulted in tho re election oi Maycr Sny der by an increased majority over that giveu hira last year. - Clcrk Woodruff was also re-elected, but by a majority somewhat lcss than that of the Mayor's - owing, we suspect, to the unpopularity of his totally abstinent father among 'the prohibitionists, and to the cold water thrown on him by the Commercial. One Justico oï the Peace, one Supemsor, three Aldermen, and one Constable, candidates on the Temperanee or Frohibition ticket were elected. The " Reformers " bagged one Supervisor, one Justice, two Aldermen, and one .Constable; Tho new Council stands seven prohibitionists and three " reformers."
