BATH, March Z.
At the municipal election in this city to-
day, Col Samuel ID. Bailey Democrat, the
citizens candidate, was elected Mayor by a
majority of A, over DR.. VIM. f. Payne, the
Republican nominee.
The democracy voted for Mr. Bailey, who
is democrat, and he was also supported by
the Third Part" men and the fremen in a
body; but his success cannot be viewed as
partisan one, as it was occasioned by local
causes altogether. For Alderman, Council
men and ward officers, every ward of the
seven was carried by the Republicans. with
the exception of ward one, in which there is
no choice for councilmen ward two where
one councilman was elected by citizens, and
ward four in which there is no choice.
