Never did brighter morning give tint and
shadow to natures surroundings than that
which helalded the advent of the third Of

pled at the appointed polling places In the
different wards To deposit their votee, and
Notwithstanding all thaexcitement and furry
created BY the journalistic and political fight
between tho rival candidates, the day passed
away Without any disturbance worthy Of note.
