Couldn't Keep the School Board from
Standing 8 to 4.
NO HIGH SCHOOL WANTED NOW,
And the Bonds Voted Down by the
Decisive Majority of $40.

The election yesterday resulted "just as
we predicted'' in the election of the Demo-
cratic city ticket by large majorites. Early
in the day the fight on the mayoralty was
considered hopeless though the Republican
committeeman stuck to their posts. They had
great expectations of sweeping Sanborn in
to the city attorneyship and worked despe-
rately to that end. Even that proved futile
and all their hopes were blasted. In the
city government the Democrats hold their
own in the council, the new body standing
nine Democrats to three Republicans.
as at present. In the new school board
there will be. eight Democrats to four Re-
pnblicans, while the present board stands
seven Republicans and five Democrats.
The most desperate contest was that
which ragged over the Aldermanship in the
Sixth ward. Aid. Mccarthy lost his re-
election by twenty eight majority which his
opponent secured. Jerry made tremend,
GUS fight and held up the whole ticket, but
the odds were too great and he went under.
His successful competitor is Democrat.
In the Third ward the Republicans gain
an alderman BelD, and in the Fifth ward
they lose one, making honors easy.
The defeat of Castle for the school in
spectorship in the Fifth ward will be hailed
with pleasure by great many who can now
modestly consider themselves endorsed.
The High school bouds were badly de-
feated, the majority against being $40.
Below will be found the vote in detail:

Sixth Ward .
AT THE POLLS.


Everybody got up yesterday with the fore
gone conclusion solidifed in their minds that
the election would be quiet one. And dur
ing the day everybody stuck to the predeter-
mination to have quiet election. Yet in
spite of this, and the light vote
polled, there was at each voting
precinct a lively gathering, even the
second precinct of the Fourth ward, which
usually looks like the tag end of funeral,
appeared fairly lively and somewhat cheer
full. On the whole small vote, compare
lively, was polled, the registered voters not
coming out and those voting by affidavit not
bridging the chasm made by the registered
absentees.
marked, but not unusual feature at
some of the precincts was the approach of
the ladies, who deposited ballots for school
inspectors. The bifurcated voter made way
CALAMITY for the ladies and permitted them
to drop their tickets without jostle.
The GLOBE visited every precinct, saw the
crowds assembled and guaged the multitude
as follows:

First Ward.


At the first precinct the voting was found to
be light. The school bonds were declared to
be bursted. A squad of half dozen kept
guard over the business and talked pros
poets. Capt. Clark and Officer Clouse did
duty for the city without row or even a
semblance of one to disturb their serenity.
SECOND PRECINCT.
The second precinct showed up respective

three ladies we're CALAMITY ushered up to the
ballot box, and it is creditably believed the
three votes went in for Turner as school in
spector. The comment generally hazarded
was that Dowlan and Turner were elected
sure, Dawson was ahead big, and that
Murray held along even. The High school
bonds again had no show.
Ansel Oppenheim was pretty busy in Muir
rays behalf, and proclaimed Turner's election
as school inspector sure by two carriage loads
of ladies. Mayor Dawson drove up for a
awhile to take in the situation, and here as
elsewhere found great encouragement. Off
Ger Nugent was on duty, with nothing even
in the dim prospective to tax his Herculean
strength.

FILIBUsTER1NG.
The Republicans then commenced filibus-
tering, all but Chittenden, Kelly, Killinger
and Morton declining to vote, while there
was not enough Democrats present to con-
stitute quorum. The reason for flibus-
tering was the refusal to allow Mr.. Conger
to offer an amendment. A second call was
ordered, and at 2:4O flibustering ceased and
vote was taken on the bill, which passed
by strict party vote, yeas 124, nays 80. All

FORT PILLOW MASSACRE.
Mr.. Chalmers called up as a question of
privilege the resolutions heretofore offered
by him for an investigation of the Fort Pill
low massacre.
Mr.sAtkins introduced motion to adjourn,
remarking that he was opposed to such an
investigation, as the gentleman, Chalmers,
reputation was not dependent upon it at all.
1t would do no good either to him or to the
country.
At the request of Mr.. Chalmers, the mo
ton to adjourn was withdrawn by Mr.. At
kins, and was Immediately renewed by Mr..
White. The House thereupon adjourned.
NoTE-The amendment which Mr.. Conger
desired to offer was one simply repeating
sections POOP and 1923 of revised statutes,
he claiming the understanding in the ju-
dietary committee had been that the Repub-
icans could offer one substitute and one
amendment.

COLORED CONFERENCE.

Large and Representative Convention at
Nashville, Tenn-Temperate Address of
President Lynch-A Little Rifle of Bad
Blood Caused by Political Jealousy.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 6.-The national con
ference met in the hall of the House of Repres-
entatives at P. NJ, with representatives from
Tennessee, Mississippi, Kentucky, Missouri,
South Carolina, Georgia, District of Columbia,
Texas, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio,
Oregon, Nebraska, Louisiana, and Alabama.
The conference was called to order by Governor
Pinchback, who nominated Hon. Jno. r. Lynch
of Mississippi, for permanent chairman. In
speaking, Lynch denied the conference had
been called in the interest of any party but
for the purpose Of presenting the grievances of
the colored people to the country. He urged
unpassionate consideration Of the questions to
be presented. When this movement was in
augurated the present migration of cOlOred
people from the South had not commenced,
and not seriously apprehended. This was,
therefore, not one of the chief objects of the
sidering this matter you should bear in mind
the fact that the South, being the home
of the colored people, they being adapted to
it's climate and its soil, having
been born and raised there, we should not adj
wise them to leave there unless they have very
we
should not advise them to remain where they
are not well treated (applause) but we should
endeavor to inculcate in their mind sufficient
amount of independence to say to the country
and people by whom they are surrounded, that
if our labor is valuable then it should COM
mand respect (applause); that if we receive
this respect, if our rights are accorded to us, we
remain here doing all we can to improve our
condition. If the colored man can receive just
treatment, attention, consideration and the re-
spect he is entitled to under the law in the
South, the South is the place for him. If not,
they are justified in receiving it where they
can. (Applause.) Then let us 60 on calmly and
dispassionately, and when all classes begin to
see their mistakes perhaps all will come to-
gether, heal up all past differences, conceding
the rights of all, and securing peace and har-
mony and good will and friendship will prevail
and the South will prosper"
Robert Nichols, of Indiana, was elected vice
president. Louis T. Kenner of Louisiana F.
L. Barrett of Illinois, and j. T. Rapier of
Alabama we're appointed secretaries. The Or
ganization was made permanent. The after
noon session was devoted mostly to the adop-
tion of rules for the government Of the con-
ference. In the morning Tennessee delega-

first refused. The Tennesseans are turbulent

Around the city hall lively crowd as
sembled all day, but there wasn't any excite
ment. A light vote was polled, not half the
usual number.
The school bonds had no show here,
though Prof. Wright was around actively at
work in favor of the High school. circu-
lar condemning the issue of the bonds was
largely circulated; in it, it was claimed that
the GLOBE was the only daily paper in the
city which had allowed communication
even against the bonds to appear in its col
umns. Aid. Grace and s. Lee Davis did
service around the polls. DR.. Stewart also
loitered around, and George w. Moore, with
no residence up in the Second precinct,

dence in the First precinct of the Third
ward by peddling Metcalf tickets. At this
place these tickets didn't go off very

and the rest.

assist in the great discharge of duty Messrs
Breen and Bell were present as interested
parties. Aid. Dreis was there to see that a
worthy successor was elected. It was de-
clared that Dawson was away ahead, Murray
more than even. Breen was supposed to be
elected, while Roche as comptroller, ane
Otis as school Inspector, having no opposi-
ton, it was "guessed'' they'd get in.

BRUTEs OF BROTHERS.

Our citizens will have the privilege Q:
witnessing for the first time the performances
of Mr.. Milton Mobiles, one of the foremost
commedians of the age. He will make his
first appearance on Friday evening in the
play that he has made historic. The Pitts
burgh Chronicle speaks thus of the play:
n ''The Phoenix" contains, among other new
situations, the best hit at Bohemianism ever
produced upon the American stage. The play
is the best Of it's kind. 1t is American in the
same sense that the 'Gilded Age" and mighty
Dollar" are American. The coloring is purely
local; but this is precisely the reason that such
as demand American plays, and profess to be
weary of French situations and the doubtful
words of French plays, should encourage this
and similar efforts.
