Mr.. James OBrien kept successfully out Of sight
yesterday, and, although his whereabouts might
have been known, he was not particularly anxious
to receive any visitors except such as would come
to show their sympathy with the sorrows Of defeat
In the afternoon he made short stay at his room
In the City Hall, but was inaccessible, and late
drew Jackson Club, he would see no one
and his friends were vigilant in guarding
him from annoy ance. Late at night the silence in

AROUND THE CITY HALL.

'sThe Sedan" Of yesterdays election hadits effect
around the public offices OF the City Park. Who
ever you met appeared stunned; 1t seemed impos
sible to realize the fact that so great municipal
change as that which was accomplished on Tuesday
was q reality. Every one who was likely to be able
to lmpart any information was eagerly seized
upon and held in conversation either as to the
events Of the previous day or the result OF the
examination Of the electionireturns then going on
at the Central Police ONCE. About two O'Clock
in the day the rumOr was spread tnat
Lawrence had been elected BY small ma
jority. Everybody had heard 1t, but nobody had
heard II onlcially, and eventually the report was
generally discreditcd In official circles. In the
Sherin's office later in the afternoon there was
confidently expressed opinion that Lawrence was
elected, and that they had had 1t from Police Head
quarters but 1t could not be traced to any other
office than County Clerk L0ew's, where messenger,
who had been sent to Police Headquarters, re-
turned and said that Lawrence was elected by q
majority OF iorty-seven. Had the day been fine,
instead OF thoroughly wet, the groups OF poll
more numerous. At the various offices very little
work was done; 1t was regarded as an off-day by
everybody, and probably It will be some days be-
fore the surprise OF the election will be recovered
from.
