REJoICTYGs OYER THE VGCToRY. AT
about eight o'clock last evening, group Of
gentlemen dropped in at the editorial rooms
OF the ARGUS Office, consisting of Col. J. B.
Dsnforth, our late editor; Mr.. James Bu.
ford, democratic candidate for Mayor E.
Z. Chopper, candidate for Police Magistrate;
and the aldermaniC candidates, Messrs. Ri.
ley, Skinner, and Wollenhaupt, together
with other prominent democrats. OF course,
as no returns had been received the great.
est interest centered in the coming result.
The second ward was first heard from, an.
nouncing a complete victory. A crowd
Numbered up from the street, and three
rousiug cheers were given. Then came in
rapid succession intelligence from the Fourth
Ward, then from the Third Ward, aud last
came tidings Of triumph from the First
Ward. Each moment the crowd grew
denser, thronging the hall, and from the
head of the stairs to the sidewalk below,
rousing cheers responding to the informa'
tion from each ward as announced. Three
cheers and tiger were then given for our
Mayer elect. Mr.. Buford responded with
a neat address of thanks, and was followed
by Magistrate Chopper and Alderman Nj
ley, amid the loudest applause. The Rock
Island band was called out, huge bonfire
Illuminated the square, an immense crowd |
gathered, and amid the widest rejoicings |
the evening passed away.
