FhOSrhCIs fOh COMPLETE
DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS IN THE FALL.
Inc election for Delegates to the Republic |
can State Convention in this city, Saturday
afternoon, was vigorously contested by two |
parties-those who rule, and those who want |
to rulo. AS a matt3r OF course, the victory
Was gained by those who rule.
The fight, to we OF the other side was al
amusing Ms 1t Was interesting. In it we rec |
ognized simply struggle for power aud pO
sition-a fight between those who now mis-
rule our city, and those who want to be
power, whore they would act the very same
manner as do those whom they fought al
the polls on Saturday.
Like the handle OF the jug, the result OF
the election WAS all on one side, which in not
to DO wondered at when we consider that a
great majority OF the Republican voters OF
this city, support the Ring and Its corrupt
measures. The fight was u most disastrous
one, and in il. the Ring opponents sustained
crushing, Waterloo defeat. Out OF the ten
Wards they captured the Second alone, and
that ust "by the skin OF their teeth
The result WAS made apparent shortly at
ter the opening OF the polls, when 1t was dis
covered that tho RiDgites had made due ar
Engagements Tor a complete success. They
had stheir agents at work at every voting
place, aud refused no vote, OF whatever
questionable character.
For instance, in the Third Ward, u man came
up to vote the Ring ticket, when his vote was
challenged by Marshal Dunn, who (probably
from II praisewo rthy desire to III Amt aiu the puri
ty OF the ball0tl was working Tor the anti Ring
ticket Being closely questioned the man admit
ted that be did not live in the city but as lie
followed up his admission with IA satisfactory al.
ray Of "itis," "bats," ANA sands" his vote was
| accepted by the Judge-Street Commissioned
Coyle, OF tue City Ring.
On the other hand, the tickets Of the OPPOSE
ton were very deceptive III their character and
contained the names OF men known to be in favor
Al a l.t-.
Ward contained the name of Edward A. Bellah
AS candidate, but at the polls Mr. Bellah voted
the Ring ticket, and worked for ito success. Iu
other instances they placed on their tickets men
whose names were on the Ring tickets also, being
cetel nine,l to secure somebody's election This
was the case with John Wentz of the Second
Ward, aud Henry ". Downing, ia the Eighth
Ward.
In the Fourth Ward the voting was rather
close, but tao anti-Ring ticket, headed by Willard
D PRIDE OF Every Eres"!g, was defeated by ten
| majority.
The anti-Ringites in the Seventh Ward, headed
| by Mr.. Jenkins, oil tie Commercial, also made "A
| stubborn fight, but were defeated by forty five
| majority In the other wards the Ring gained
! easy victories.
| The victors were Of course greatly elated at
their victory, and many of them expressed their
delight by getting gloriously drunk. Mr..
Pickles looks as happy as big suDfower,"
| while Captain Gallagher, as usual, is serene
and smiling The tickets elected are as fol-
