are working hard and both are aanguine

give Henry 0verstolz ,43S majority over

officers will be very light. There is a
general impression that the Republicans
will elect most OF their ticket, and even
the Democrats concede this. The con-
test on Mayor is expected to be very close,
but 20 far as is known Heath is still
ahead, but rs there is n great deal OF
scratching the returns cannot be obtained.

city election up to Il o'clock show that
90 precincts out OF Ill give Heath, Rep,
for Mayor, 7,l47; Smith, Dem, 1875;
Heath's majority, 1852. The rest Cf the
Republican ticket, including Tuthcll,
City Attorney; Casper Butz, Clerk, and
Larrabce, Treasurer, is undoubtedly
elected. Clinton Briggs, Democrat, for
Treasurer, ran far ahead Of his ticket, but
is doubtless defeated. The Council, from
the latest returns, appears to be almost
entirely Republican, though subsequent
returns may probably change this some
what. A row occurred in the 7th Ward
on account OF challenge to vote.ofered
by repeater and rough. 1t resulted in
the fatal shooting OF Michael Fitzgerald
by policeman. The election otherwise
was quiet.
