jority of III, the largest majority ever
cast in the ward.
In the Second ward nothing was ex'
pectsd BY the Republicans, though
comparatively q respectable Republican
vote was polled, and through some local
dissatisfaction R. H. Taylor the Dem
ocratic candidate was reelected by q
majority Of l42, being about 40 vott
behind the Ipspector's vote.
Notwithstanding the mass Of re-
peaters collected under Sergeant
Dolan and others that were allowed to
vote In the Third Ward, the Republi-
cans held their own we'll, Mr.. Blake

In the Four tn Ward the election was
allowed to 80 by default against the
Republicans, the latter appearing in
different to the result and from this
ward two Democratic Councilman have
been elected. Mr.. Paynter for two
years by l64 majority and Mr.Abela by
184.
The Fifth Ward seems to have made
. complete sumersault and besides the
Democratic repeatsrs, the Independent

Democrat, has been elected to Council
by q majority Of six votes over Evaps

In the Eighth Ward the Democrats

lice we're in their glory, having taken
possession of.the polls at the start and
held them until the close of the polls

vote.
In the Ninth Ward the Re-
publicans gained q member Of
Council on account of the dissatisfac.

candidate. The final count showed
the election Of David R. Smith, Repuo-

election Of Barnhill, Democrat, by a
majority of Al.
The Tenth ward went as everybody
expected it would solidly Democratic
but by reduced majority COM
