II ELECT!oE.
Hon. John 0verton Elected Fire
and Police Commissioner.
C. W. 6Oyer, IOhn Gum and Robert
Galloway Elected Supervisors
Of Public Works.

The election passed off very quiet
yesterday and there was rather a fu
vote polled considering the ba
weather, muddy streets and absonc
of all ordinary election excitement
1t is rumored that there was some r,
peating. This may have been so to
small extent, but not on a large seal,
as the candidates did not appear to b
spending any money, were running n
hacks, and there could have been n
motive for the floating voter to g
around from poll to poll at his own OK
pense. There was no election in tn
Seventh ward as the residents nearl
all voted up town and no one woul
serve for nothing as judges and clerks
