 The election yesterday resulted in the en- tire success of the Democratic ticket. Dr. Robertson is elected Mayor by 1,6O6 majori- ty. We gain two Councilmen in the Second ward electing all three on the Republican ticket, viz, Lewis Elliott, Dennis A. Blakes- lee and George E. Maltby, while we lose an Alderman in the same ward, Richmond W. Armstrong, dem, of the Armstrong firm of shipping merchants, succeeding Charles P. Armstrong, rep, member of the same nrm' and defeating the Republican nominee. There was Democratic tie in the Seventh ward, an Alderman. This will require new election in this ward, and the battle will have to be fought over again on this question In this Democratic stronghold. There were three Democratic tickets in this ward, and the contest was warm all day as the most casual observer could not fail to have seen. Quiet hardly reigned until after midnight, so potent was the influence of the local contest, | before which the main issues paled. In the Ninth ward four tickets were run, Joseph Sheldon, rep, the well known attorney, be- | ing elected, but written protest from two of the Democratic counters in this ward, John F. Donahue and John F. Moore, was entered at the return of the vote, because | four ballots were cast for John H. Bouton which they claimed were meant for John H. Barlow, and AS Greenback ballots were thrown out from some cause not stated. l The Board of Councilmen stands a tie on I joint ballot, and the Board of Aldermen has a Democratic majority of four.
 As before stated, the entire Democratic town ticket is elected. The city officers chosen are: Robertson, Mayor James P. l Pigott City Clerk; Charles Kimberly re- elected Auditor Con both tickets), H. M. Welch reelected treasurer Con both tickets), and Hollis Con both tickets) reelected sheriff. The Republican Aldermen elected are Will liam K. Townsend, attorney Captain Frank W.
