The City Election.

The Wichita city election was not wantin,
in exciting incidents and displays which char
acteriZe real live western towns. Bannerl
and bands, gaily decorated hacks ana buses
with suggestive notices and finely capari
soncd teams, with now and then 'slight
misunderstanding we're the principal and
prominent features Of the strife for municipal
field for mayor. until about II O'Clock, when
some OF the friends Of DIR. A. j. Longsdorl
withdrew his name. The vote was strong for
the Jail, but badly mixed upon the bridge
propositions. The total vote of the city was
10. We hare No. council, and good school
and Of education will be well cared for. III
the reelection of James G. Hope, mayor, NO
one doubts, however much they may be op.
posed to him personally, that he will ill the
office creditabIy and honorably. As an ad.
mnistratiyc officer, he did not make o single
caring for the cattle interest; in negotiating
for rates over the different lines OF road; in
securing good police regulations, and manag-
mig the rough element with which we have
had 10 contend; in carefully guarding ex-
pendtures and looking after incomes, he was
highly successful, even beyond what his friends
hoped for. His endorsement over the three
live men In the field against him demonstrates
that handsome plurality Of the people thought
it best not to trade horses while crossing the
stream.
According to the vote east, the population
Of Wichita is not far from 1900. About $50
votes were challenged that were not sworn in
Every ticket in the field was made up of
select men from each ward, as will be seen by
CHANGING at the list. The following is the vote
of each ward, excepting as to bonds which
will be published as soon as canvassed by the
commissioners
