THE ELECTION.
Portland Changed Front.
A Republican Mayor Chosen.
A working Majority In the City
Council:

1t the vote thrown at the election yester-
day is smaller in the. aggregate than that OF
some previous years, it should not be judged
that there was no interest felt in the result;
but on the contrary the contest was close, and
during the early part Of the day the Democrats
exulted in the prospect of victory; but their
force was exhausted by o'clock, at which time
there was q reserve of Republican strength,
which gradually ovsrcame the Democratic
vote and gave the city to the Republicans by
majority of 22o.
