ALBANY, April 10.-The result of the election
for Mayor is doubtful as the returns from the
fourth ward have not been received. 1t is be-
ieved that they will re-elect Thatcher (Dem)
but as the returns now stand without that ward
(Judson (Rep) is about 300 ahead. The Re-
publican Recorder is elected. Nine of the six
teen Aldermen are Republicans and the Re-
publican majority in the Supervisors Board,
will be three or four.
A6dny. Apru 1O.-Noon-The election of
Thatcher (Dem.) for Mayor is still in doubt
In the fourth ward canvass there We're bad do
ings. The lights were put out ballot box seiz-
ed upon and the roughs were very diSOrderly.-
The first count of the votes before the lights
were put out, would have defeated Thatcher
The second count made difference in his favor
OF 800 The Republican Inspector was com
PEELED under threats to sign the returns, which
he did under protest.
The Republicans elect nine out of sixteen
Aldermen, and they also have about four ma
jorfty in the Supervisors Board. Greene (Rep.)
for Recorder, has about l. 600 majority.
The Eueniaag Journal says the nominal re-
turns make Thatcher Dem.) Mayor by
slender majority, but is the strongest evidence
that Judson (Rep was fairly elected.
