CITY ELECTION. The municipal election in this
city, on Monday last was unusually quiet, there be
ing no opposition to the Republican nominee for
Mayor and no contest for ward officers except in
ward four, where the fusionists elected Mr.. NJ. z.
Woodcock received all the votes thrown with the
exception of four scattering-three for Charles
ward j. But two other similar elections are brought
to mind. In 1858 Hon. Ralph c. Johnson the first
Mayor, was elected without opposition, and in 1873
Hon. VIM c. Marshall the citizens candidate, re.
ceyed all but two votes thrown. The vote of I>13
was even smaller than on Monday the whole number
thrown at the former election was but III. Why
the Democrats made contest Monday is not
known their only plea being, they say, "that the
Republicans have controlled the city for many
years have got into trouble now LET them get us
out" Many Democrats went to the polls and de
posted the Republican ticket. The following is the
vote for
