The Times this evening says:
Up to Saturday night the battle between the
two parties had been waged with great per-
sistency on either side. But the election of
Hon. G. NJ. Moses was conceded by many OF
the opposition and the battle seemed to be set
Ting down 10 a contest for ward officers. the
Fusionists being still hopeful of carrying four
wards, although the Republicans were equally
sure to carry the same number. Saturday
night the Republican canvassers showed that
Mr.. Moses would be elected by d hand some
majority, and that they were positively sure
OF four wards and with good chance of carry
ing five. The Fusion canvassers held session
the same night in the city building. Their
canvass showed that there was no hope for the
reelection of James A. Strout. They labored
all day Sunday and up to Sunday night at u
O'Clock to figure out a majority in four wards
but could see no way to do it. 1t is said that
about II o'clock Sunday night some prominent
Democrats who had subscribed as high as $500
apiece toward the election fund, withdrew
their money, being satisfied that there was no
chance of their carrying four wards or getting
control OF the city offices. This was disheart-
ening. The whole thing finally burst up about
2 O'Clock. 1t is stated that Mayor Strout, who
was with the canvasserS, arose and said in SUBJ
stance, Gentlemen, if you think I am going
to put all my money into the canvass to carry
four wards and be sacrificed myself, you are
mistaken" They then began to accuse some
of them of selling out.

BIDDEFoRD, March S.-As announced this
morning the election in Biddeford to-day has
been perfect farce. From the beginning there
has been feeling OF antagonism between the
Democrats and Greenbackers of this CITY and
many Democrats declared that they would not
support the candidate for mayor on a union
ticket, but should vote and use their influence
Tor the Republican candidate. Regardless of
these threatenings the ring power kept on in
their original designs until last night the mat
ter eliminated in the discovery that portion
OF the canvassers of different wards had sold
out their fellows and were working for candi-
dates on the Republican ticket. The disgust
OF the Democrats was so great on the discovery
OF these things that they refused to vote. The
total number of ballots cast last year was
about 2267, the Democrat candidate for MAYOR
receiving majority of seven. The whole
number of ballots cast this year is abont 1900
the Republican candidate for mayor, Hon.
Charles M. Moses, receiving majority of
about 1l0O Every ward is also Republican.
