nusIcIrAL ELECTION .zsU.rs,
As previously stated by the News Il

yesterday was no political fight. but all
candidates were given a free show in the
race. No nominating conventions put
up states. but every man had an oppor-
tunity to show his hand and 60 in on
his merits. There being so many can
didates entered for the race various com.
binations were formed. and 1t was q little
difficult to form any positive opinion a.
to the result, but all's we'll that ends
we'll, and the Gold Hill public have no
reason to grisvs over the result.
F. W. Folsom. the Town Marshal
elect. although q Republican, is a. good
q man for the position as either OF his
competitors, and will perform his duties
ably and we'll. Treasurer Gallup, q
good staunch Democrat. was simply 70.
elected, because he has filled the bill
satisfactorily and no change was thought
necessary. For Town Trustees in the
First Ward, Richard Mercer and h. D.
Dauchy. Republicans, and Thomas
woollsy. Democrat, are irst.class citi'
zsns and business men, too we'll known
to require comment at our hands, and
the Same is to DO said OF L. T. Fox and
v. Lsmery. the Trustees chosen in the
Second or lower Ward, both good, square
Democrats and old citizens Of such good
sound standing and popularity that no
man felt competent to enter the contest
against them. Lsmery and Dauchy
are tho new Trustees, tho other
three, Fox, Mercer and woollsy being
members OF the present or old Board.
Thus, it will be seen. that we have q
Republican Marshal, Democratic Treas
ursr and q Board Of Trustees composed
of three Democrats and two Rspubli.
cans. The Democrats have the ma.
jority, but nobody cares. Everybody
elected is satisfactory, and all those
good men who were defeated should try
and bear in mind that it was not BY
reason Of their incapacity or unpopu-
larity, but because everybody could not
DO elected.
The municipal election at Virgins
yesterday was also q mixed up affair Is
regards politics. although political pref
renee did come In. and political con.
vsntions did control the nominations
The result. however, wa politically
about the same as in Gold Hill. the Of
aesrs elect being as follows : Mayor,
John S. Young. Republican; Chief Of
Police. Nelson Allan, Republican; Tai
Collector, John A. Mahanny, Democrat
Assessor. George W. Robertson, Rspub'
lican; Treasurer, George A. King
Republican; Aldermsn-First Ward. P,
H. Coyue, Democrat; Second Ward, j.
W. Orndorff. Republican; Third Ward
b. G. Moore. Democrat; Fourth Ward
John Barclay. Republican.
These officers elected are all first rate,
and the people OF Virginia City have nc
more reason to complain Of thoir choice
than have the people Of Gold Hill. The
Democrats they have elected are az good
as could have been selected from that
party. City Attorney Graham is 4
young aud rising member OF the lega
profession, possessed Of more thar
ordinary ability, and will make hi
mark in the great American world
johnny Mahanny. as Tax Collector. vii
do the thing up right and correct. Th'
only objection to him is being a prac
teal printer and newspaper man. tn
which might form just grounds for dis
trust perhaps in some respects, but a
his jurisdiction does not extend to Coll
Hill. We will try and pass him, also
As for Coyne and Moore. the two Dem
ocratic Aldermen, both r we'll spokel
Of as good citizens and business mel
outside OF their Democracy. Anyhow
they have two good Republicans, orn
dorff and Barclay, to..stand them of AM
nsutralize their powers for harm. to So.
nothing Of Mayor Young. who will pre-
side over the deliberations OF the Board
and have the casting vote in case OF
tie. All things considered. Storey count,
is all right for another year.
