A HOT ELECTION.

Mr. j. v. Frank Reelected az Police
ana Fire Commissioner.
Quite a rumpus was kicked up on yea.
terdly over the election of a police and
fire Commissioners, the reelection or
defeat of Commissioner Frank being the
issue. For a week past aldermen and
cou1cilmen have been visited and button
holed BY both. parties. Ali kind of orgu.
ments were used to secure votes. When
the general council met every alderman
and councilman was present. The ballot
resulted as follows: For j. F. Frank, 20;
7, W. Brode, 8; Wilkerson, l; blank, |.
Quite an amount Of personal and angry
feeling was worked up over the election
which left many citizens 10 a bad humor.
Owing to all that in coming elections the
sins of omission or commission Of many
persons will be remembered. Chief of
Police Atby made q lively canvass in the
way Of electioneeriug for Commissioner
