Yesterdays ELECTION,


Inc contest that closed at ! o'clock, YES
terday evening, was one of the most remark .
aDle' IN many respects, ever held in Cairo.
lhere were no rich goals at the end of the
races that were run, yet never before was
the contention for the prizes 50 animated
and determined.
The contest for the Mayoralty enlisted
the feelings of our whole people, and so
deeply interested did number of the
friends OF both candidates become that
they abandoned their usual avocations and
devoted their whole time to an advo-
cacy of the claims of their respective
favortes. These efforts eliminated in
series of the most largely attended public
meetings ever held in the city. Voters who
were abroad came home and those who
were working outside of the city were
brought in, and thus quite every voter that
had any shadow of right to vote, was
brought to the polls.
Next in interest to the struggle for the
Mayoralty was that for the City Clerkship,
For this Office there were nine candidates.
up to the eve Of the election, when Mr..
Leander AXley withdrew, leaving eight.
All these candidates were poor men; but
made up in industry for any lack of means.
For the Office of City Treasurer there
were five candidates, two of whom were
quite active during the week preceding the
election. During the day, yesterday all
of them put in full time, most industriously.
The contest for the City Attorneyship
elected but little feeling.
The vote, as will be seen by the returns
given below, was the largest ever thrown
in Cairo, and certainly represents the full
voting strength Of the city. Here is the
vote:
