The election Of Republican Ward cfi,ers

which are commonly less affected ~ per-
sonal considerations than other Offices. and
thus show pretty accurately the division of
parties IN the votes cast. Tie great mass Of
the Republicans evidently stood squarely by
him Mr., Noyes ran IL votes behind the
aggregate Democratic vote on Inspectors.
MI Hatch thus appears to have gained the
vo'o- often or dozen Democrats With the
single exception o! the election of Alderman
in the First Ward, where the Republicans
hoped TO elect their man and came within
two votes of doing it, there was accom-
pi.shed all that could have been expected.

men now stands six Democrats to four Re
pubieans. The rext Board, supposing
Republican to he elected in place Of Mr..
Hatch, will stand SIX Republicans 10
iour Democrats, or if a Democrat should
succeed Mr.. Hatch, i've to five.
