passed off very quietly. A light vote
was polled. The Republicans elect ten

Democratic by small majority. This
city gives Cole, Republican, for the Su.
preme court, 1900 majority. The vote
shows large Republican gains.

elected judge of the supreme court by
more than five thousand majority. The
reports from interior towns show great
Republican gains over last year, and the
whole vote of the towns will probably
give the Republicans a greater majority
than they have had for years. In Mil

troll the council for the first time.
