distinct issues. The noticeable feature
was the election OF Ellis for Marshal, who
has been defeated several times before,
and the success of William Nj. Mace,
who beat old Colonel Mscksli, who has
held the office Of Recorder for many
years. The election throughout gcner-

ST. CLAIRsvILLE.
The election over here en- Monday
brought out the usual number OF voters.
For some of the offices the contest was
hot and exciting, while for others there
was little OF no competition. Alter writ
ing you last week, the Republicans
changed their corporation ticket so Ms to
read ss follows: Mayor, Henry Nj
Davis; Marshal, William Walker Clerk,
Ross Barrett; Treasurer, a + Blair;
Councilmen, John i West, John Car
Isle, w A Hunt. This WAS mixed
ticket. Barrett, Blair md Carlisle Dem
ocraLs, and West, Republican, were also
on the Democratic ticket. Col. ChRrles-
worth withdrew from the Democratic
ticket rs candidate Tor Councilman, and
the name O. John + West was substi-
tutcd. The Democrats ran straight
ticket, with the exception OF John T.
West and w 5 kennJn for Council.
The result of the election was
that Davis, Republican was elect
ed Mayor, over Riley, Demo
crat, by 3 majority. For Marshal, VIM
Rice, Democrat, has q majority OF 70 over
Walker. Barrett, for Clerk, and Blair,
for Treasurer, both Democrats, were
elected without opposition. John +
West and w 5 kennon, Republicans,
and John Carlisle, Democrats, were
elected members of Council West
and Carlisle were elected un-
snimously, while Mr.. Keunon was
chosen by majority OF eight over Mr.
w A Hunt. The mos. exciting and inter
estlng part OF the fight wss the contest
between Messrs kennon and Hunt, the
former coming out ahead on the home
stretch. The question a. issue seemed 10
be railroad, or snli-rsIlrosd. Mr Ken
non was in favor Of the COuucii taking
care OF and keeping in repair the street
running from town 20 the depot OF the
BeIIsIre and St. Csirsville Railway,
while Mr. Hunt held the opinion that the
railroad company should keep said street
in repair. The result wss m favor Of
tho railroad, SO l presume the village
Council will take charge OF the disputed
LhoroUg Ughfsre.
