The Democrats Won

The city eleotion on Monday passed off quietly, both sid s making a siroDg efl'ort to elect tbeir ticket?, however. The demócrata gained a victory, but not a? essily u they had anticipated. The prevailing gentiment was that Alderman Reginald Spokes who was nominated for mayor by the republican city convention, would fall an easy victim to his opponent Chas. H. Manly, one of he atrorgest and best known demócrata in the cily. But ia this the demócrata were sadly mistakeu, as Spokes was defeated by only 110 votes, while a year ago Mayor Beakes had a plurality of 225. No strong fight was made on the president of the council for which the popular county clerk Fred. A. Howlett ran on the democratie ticket, and howed his popnlanty by receiving a plurality of 395 votes over Robert Campbell. The vote was light.only 1575 votes being cast agaicst 1725 list year. On supervisors not much stnfe was ihown except in the second ward, where Oesterlin had only 133 plurality, 90 tess than he had last year. John R. Miner was endorsed by the democrats of the flrst ward and had no trouble in being reelected. James Kearns, ex-register of deeds, was elec'.ed in the third ward, in place of C. L. Dow. Ambrose Kearcey, Amos Corey and J. W. Bennett were re elected iü the lourtb, fifth and sixth wards. In the first, second Bnd fitth wards the aldermanic fight was hot, Eugene Mann and C. -Eugene Mutschel who were nominated by the democrats and republicana of the first ward reepectively, are two of the 8trongest youug Germana in the city. The former however managed to secure a plurajity and was elected, givuig the deraocrats a rei reaenlatiou irom thu ward for the first time in everal years. In the second ward the strife was Detween Wm, Herz and Albert Sjhuraachtr, the form?r beine reelected by a gre&tly reduced plurality. In the fifth ward, where the democrats expeced littla trouble in electing their catididate, the votes were found to be a tie between Waker Taylor and James Saunders. In the f ourth ward the republicana endoreed W. J. Miller, and in ihe sixth ward the demócrata returned the compliment to L. P. Huil. Tha third ward elected Thomas Kearns, who has represented the ward on the council several times, by the largest plural, ty that any republican ever received there. As the demócrata have four of the six holdover aldermen, that party will have full control of the city government during the coming yeir. The couacil will stand four tepublicans to eight democratg, with the tie in the fifth ward uncounted. This will be diciled by casting lots at the next meeting of the couccil. The new city officials will commence ' the duties of their office next Monday. Tne supervisors Mand as btfore, two republicana and four democrats.
