PORTLAND AND VICINITY.
MUNICIPAL ELECTION.

The election in this city yesterday was one
of the most quiet we have ever witnessed.
There was very little excitement, and in but
one Ward was there any conveyance used for
bringing voters to the polls. Notwithstanding
this, there were upwards of 300 votes polled
in the city, and the Union Republican major
ity is increased more than 800 from last year.
Considering that the only caucuses held by
the Union Republicans were those to nominate
candidates for Ward officers, and that there
was no general caucus on Saturday evening,
as usual, and that the Democrats had their
Ward caucuses, and also grand ratification
meeting on Saturday evening, also that they
had nominated one of their best and most un-
exceptionable men for Mayor,-we say consid-
4ering these facts, the Union Republican victo-
ry is splendid one.
Mr.. Stevens has a majority of 1851 over the
Democratic candidate, and $50 over everything.
Every candidate nominated by the Union men
is elected by large majority, and the sweep
is clean throughout the city--Aldermen, Coun-
cilmen, Constables, Wardens and Clerks
1 The following is the vote for Mayor, COM
pared with the vote of last year: ......
