carried by decided majorities, and 50 he
ran away ahead of Griest in the city at
large. The country was solid, as usual for
him and Griest was cncofined Corpse
No. 9.
Brubaker and Weaver hadn't much to
lose and so Weaver contented himself ffigur-
ing out his chances in the near or remote
future based on a good popular vote, with
out any aid from the politicians johnson
had his own ward by less decisive vote
than Davis got the Third and Sixth, but
the "best workers" in the Seventh and
Eighth being in the employ of Eberly's
friends, to everybody's surprise, the Shoe
neck statesman ran away with the town,
and his friends became hopeful. johnson
went to bed sadder and wiser man.
Corpse No. 3.
When the First and Sixth wards report
ed for Grant and Quay, followed by the
Third in the same line, it began to look as
if the still hunt had hunted. The Fifth,
Fourth and Ninth failed to respond. The
Eighth came to time, and the Seventh ran
Quay up, but refused to swallow Grant.
That ward settled it. 1t saved Quay and
had its vote been turned the other way on
president, Grant would have carried the
city.
The city totals on the principal places
were as follows: Congress Smith, AS !;
Greist, 1929. State Senator: Mylin,
$50; Reinoehl. lob District Attor-
ney: Eberly, SS4; Davis, S52; John
son, 5S3; Brubaker, III Weaver. 141 ;
Newpher, 80. Instructions for United
States Senator: NJ. s. Quay, 1874 Ga
lusha A. Grow, 1,223. President Grant,
1904 Blaine, 1862. A few votes were
cast for Edm1nds, Sherman and WASH
burne.
Upto noon yesterday all the indications
were that Courtney, Eshlcman and Eberly
with Snader a good fourth) had been sue
cessful for Assembly in the upper district !;
and Peoples and Landis CLOSELY pressed
by Brosius) in the lower.
For county surveyor all parties seemed
to he running Col. Gerhart. For prison
inspector Hagan and Carter-neither dis
tasteful to the Bull RinS-were the favor
ties and for poor directors Henry Musser
and Jacob Keller.
Views Oh the Situation.
The Smith men were, of course, happy
that their favorite had again overthrown
the politicians and proved superior to their
combined opposition. They admitted
that sit took money" in the city, but not
such general use of it in the county as in
1878.
Myln's friends accepted the result as
his personal vindication against the savage
assaults of the Neu Era.
The Eberly people were disgusted at the
detection from him of that part of the
Bull Ring, which supported Davis in ex-
change for McMelIen's championship of
Quay and Grant. That part of the Bull
Ring which supported Davis, on the other
hand, cursed Sensenig for having let Quay
and Grant slip, and said Eberly's defeat
served him right for his treachery.
The Nen Era faction finds consolation in
the overwhelming defeat of Gantz and
Gatchell supporters of the riot bill the i'll
structions of Mylin for Grow, and in the
fact that McNIellen's treachery and John
sons selfshness have rid it's wing of the
weights which clogsed it from the highest
flights. 1t can also cackle over Smiths
election.
Everybody seems satisfied that Johnson
is so badly beaten.
All sides admit the lavish use of money
and damn the demoralzing Crawford coun-
ty system.
