l ier nau not. lie was resident OF the City anC
with plenty of Republican ballast had onct
given us toierably creditahle administration
However, it may be safely assumed that the
rebuke to both is sufficiently stern to prev chi
either of them ever setting up similar preten-
lions again.
The knowledge of what was going on in
Washington threw a pail over the hearts
of intelligent Democrats, and uncertainty as to
their ability to restrain their emotions KEEP
many of them away from the polls, while 9th
els with punches in their threats cast theil
votes with sigh and went directly home, not
daring to trust their voices in an attempt tc
| persuade others to throw their tickets. The
bull-dozers stood around in Wards and 4, and
| the pungent odor CT intimidation pervaled
| those ward rooms as usual. Nevertheless the
| gloom which o'erspread the countenances OF
their more intelligent confreres produced de.
pressing effect, and there conversation was not
so spirited and forcible as usual The
result of this state of thing was that the
bulldozers' majority in Ward was largely cut
down and they narrowly escaped the loss of
| one councilman.
The Democratic threats to defeat Mr.. Stureis
L AZ w oio U duu AA1ls dIc6tcy III w dTu L were
| kept about as we'll as Democratic threats gen.
orally are, that is, they were not kept at all,
both gentlemen being triumphantly elected, Mr..
Greeley running ahead of his ticket.
The direct result of the days work is the
| choice of Moses NJ. Butler for Mayor by ma
jority of $50 and the election of Republican
candidates for minor offices in all the wards
but 2 and 4. Perhaps the Democrats may find
little satisfaction in the "rebuke'' and Gen,
Richardson be not absolutely inconsolable in
view of the fact that he has not been burdened
with official responsibility and cannot be made
answerable to the public for any views he may
hold on Ogdensburg railroad, blue glass or any
other subject.
