Memphis redeemed herself on Satur-
day. The Conservative candidates for
the Legislature, Messrs. Able and Cole
man, were elected by large majority.
VIM. o. LoAand was elected Mayor by q
majority that astonished the most san
guine, the vote standing Lofand ITS,
Park 544 The gentlemes elected Alder
men will compare favorably as regards
intelligence, standing, and the other re-
qnisites to make good officials with any
Board that ever controlled our city The
people, tired of the way things have been
managed, arose in their might and made
nearly clean sweep of all those in Office
last year, only three of the Aldermen
being reelected. The election passed
off very quietly, very few arrests being
made A fire alarm was sounded about
three o'clock, the engines turning out
on the return of the No. 2 engine to their
house, where the Fifth Ward election was
held, the driver shouted to get out of the
way, and then attempted to drive over
voters, judges, clerks and ballotbox.
Some confusion ensued, pistols being
drawn, and one or two persons knocked
down, bat the police soon restored order.
AS we stated on Saturday, the regular
soldiers did the most voting in the First
Ward, appearing to vote early and Of
ten" Many of them were to be seen,
intoxicated, with several certificates in
hand, ready to trade One was arrested
for attempting to vote the fourth time.
The soldiers were not allowed to vote in
the other Wards. AS most of their votes
we're cast for the defeated parties, and if
the whole vote of the First Ward was
thrown out the general result would not
be affected, we suppose the election will
not be contested.
As soon as the result Of the election
became known there was general jolli
fication; band of music was procured
and large crowd started for Mr. LOT
land 8 residence That gentleman made
speech thanking them for the honor
conferred on him, and stated that he
would do his best to deserve it. Mary
of the other successful candidates we're
similarly honored A select party, COM
posed of many who are always on hand
on such occasions, assembled at the
Commercial Hotel, and did justice to
the wine before them.
The county vote will add to the ma
jority of the Conservative candidates
for the Legislature. The returns from
the two city precincts footed up as fol-
lows:
FoR REPREsEsTATIvE-Able, $50;
