L
Candidates. -..-
The school election on Saturday was
full Of surprises. The first surprise
came when the polls opened and candi-
dates not mentioned before appeared in
the Third and Fourth wards. The
others came about when the ballots
were counted and the result announ.
ced. The latter surprises are very un
pleasant to all good citizens, as in sew
eral instances the un6tness of the men
elected is acknowledged by all.
THE WARD CONTEST.
In the first Ward Messrs. Kyne AID
Palmer worked very hard for their
election, while Messrs. Hallam and
Brick acted on the principle that If
they went to the Board Of Education
they desired to be sent by the people
and not by themselves. The result
was that the efforts Of the first named
were successful, and they were elected
by q large majority, swelled Of course
by individual exertion.
The contest in the Second Ward was
between Mr.. P. U. Furry and John R.
MARI, the latter having come out uDex-
psctedly. The best Of feeling prevailed
and the result was Mr.. Furry's re- cleo
tion by twenty eight majority.
An unexpected opponent to Mr.. Lind
ley C. Kent arose in the Third Ward In
the forenoon, when Mr.. J. P. Theodore
Fuekel constituted himself Democrat
ic candidate and entered the field to the
surprise Of many in the Ward. Mr..
Fuekel's Democratic friends rallied to
his supper: and gave him hundred
votes to Mr.. Kent's eighty-seven.
In the Fourth Ward there was anoth.
er surprise in the candidacy. The
people were so well pleased with Mr..
William J. Morrow that no candidate
!, was put up against him. Squire Brady
quietly stepped into the arena and was
elected before any one knew it. =
DR.. Grimshaw had no opponent in
the Fifth Ward, and Of the ninety-three
votes cast ninety-two were for him.
1t had been expected in the Fifth
Ward that Mr.. Jacob Jusey would be
the only candidate, but DR.. W. p.
Quinby said that 1t was the duty of
every citizen to respond to the demands
of his fellow men, and consented to be-
ing voted for. Mr.. Pusey received two
thirds Of the votes polled, and was
elected.
The Eighth Ward Democrats elected
Mr.. Bennett Hszlett, here the contest
was quite close. The election called
cut full vote for the Eighth Ward at
the school election.
In the Ninth Ward, although dis
couraged by fellow Democrats, Consta-
BILE John Brooks insisted on being a

BRADY's COUP D'ETAT.
A peculiar thing in the Fourth ward
contest was the candidacy of Squire
Brady. 1t was not known that he was
being voted for until the ballot box
closed, and Mr.. Morrow was confident
of his election until the votes were
counted. Squire Brady vas judge Of
the election. Some people say that the
Squire nominated himself at meeting
held in his Office last Monday night.
He denies this, and says he did not
know he was being voted for until the
election had been going on for some
time. The true state of affairs appears
to be that the whole thing was done by
a few drunken Democrats who took this
course to punish Mr.. Morrow for having
voted for Frank A. Taylor for Clerk
some time ago. Squire Brady says he
will resign at the meeting tonight In
Mr.. Morrow's favor.
