The Fire.nen's Election.

A LIGHT VOTE AND BUT LITTLE INTER-
EsT-No CHOICE BY THE COMPANIES
FOR EITHER oHIEF OR ASSISTANT EN-
GINEERs.
The biennial election for Chief and
Assistant Engineers of the Fire Depart
ment came off last evening, and as was
generally expected. resulted in no choice
being made by the companies for either
office. Considering the interest mani
tested In the event previous to the cleo
ton, IL was rather surprising that the
vote is no light, and that so little interest
was manifested by most of the compa-
nies after the opening Of the polls. The
only company that made an animated
contest was the Weccacoe, the members
of which held meeting just previous to
the election, to discuss the merits of the
various candidates for Chief Engineer.
The delegate who had attended the con-
venuon at the Washington House on
Friday and Sunday evenings reported in
favor of supporting Richardson, of The
Phoenix, for Chief Engineer, while tue
other two delegates, who had refrainsd
from attending the convention, reported
in favor of TaZewell, of the Water
Witch: The meeting failed to arrive at
a conclusion in regard to the two reports,
but the voting settled the matter, the
Tazewell ticket receiving IA votes and
the Richardson ticket II votes. In the
other engine houses the voting was
quiet and but little enthusiasm was mani
tested. The full returns are given be-
low:
The daily gazette., 1878-04-02

OF the scattering votes the Fame Hose
gave 10 TO Sam'l Baylis, and the Wecca-
coe 13 to Robt. Chambers.
The total vote, as shown by the above
table, was 324 for Chief Engineer; at the
election in 1876, the total vote was 359.
1t will be seen from the above table
that Daniel Richardson, of the Phoenix,
whois the highest candidate fore Chief En-
gineer only carried three companies-two
short of an election. The vote for First
and Second Assistant Engineers resulted
in the same way, and the whole election
will devolve upon the City Council, at
the regular meeting, on Thursday the
11th inst.
The election by Council will also pos
sess considerable interest. 1t is said that
Lukens, of the Weccacoe, Is not % years
of age, and if this Is correct, his name
cannot be used in Council. All three of
the candidates voted for by the Delaware
are members of that company, and
should one of them be elected by Coun-
Gil the Others will have to be withdrawn,
as the Chief and assistants must be mem
bers of different companies.
The result of the election was received
quietly, the only demonstration being
cheers at the Water Witch House over the
defeat of the combination ticket. The
members of the Water Witch consider
the result as their victory, and feel con-
fident that their candidate, Mr.. Tazwell,
will be elected Chief Engineer by the
City Council.
