THE RESULT.
The Aldermen hO ~ ere
Elected Yesterday.


With but one exception, III the First
ward, the old aldermen were reelected
yesterday
CHAS. r CALV VERT,
who was elected in the First ward, Is
one Of the proprietors Of the McClel
land hotel, and l. known a. an active
and progressive business man Of the
city. His majority may be taken a.
some evidence Of his popularity. NJ
Calvert belongs to that progressiye
class Of men upon whom, IN large
measure, depends the reputation 81 80
city, and We think that the citizens OF
not only the First ward, but the entire
city, can rest in perfect assurance that
their interests are in good hands.
$. =. HOGAN,
who was reelected from the Second
ward. has served several consecutive
terms, and has always been recognized
| as one Of the working members OF the
council, in a practical way. He had no
competition, and that alone Is an en-
dorsement u his past record. Shell
! makes a number one alderman. lie
represents large property interests, and
is naturally concerned FOR good gov
eminent.
T.C. TIBBs,
Mr.. Hogln's colleague from the
Second ward, is large property
holder and has been prominently lden-
titled with the business interests OF the
city some years, and We have no doubt
that he will make an alderman Of sound,
practical judgment, and one who VIII
he cautious III planning the city
business. His vote was larger
than Mr. Hogan's.
J. A. SOLOMON
was reelected from the Third ward,
over three contestants, and II affords
the EXAMINER and his entire conztltn-
ency much qualification to chronicle
this result His contestants were hon
orable men and popular ones, too, but,
from previous association, every one
had formed Il strong friendship for Nj
Solomon. A. working member of
the wholesale firm Of Leasing, Solo
mon X Co. he has acquired ID splendid
reputation a. an honorable and very
successful business man, and we GER
tainly think that few men III or ont OF
the city have clearer OF more practical
ideas Of either public or private busl-
ness. In the cOuncIl-chamber Mr.
Solomon is valuable worker, for hl-
ideas are broad, liberal and intensely
practical We congratulate the city on
his reelection, not that We esteem his
competitors less, but him the more.
u. P M'LAEES,
from the Fourth ward, IS another
strong active worker who was re-
elected. so highly were the services
which Major NcLaren has rendered
in the past esteemed that no cuIupcti
tor was placed III the field against him
although he repeatedly sought to be re-
lievcd from further active participation
in the councils OF the city. Especially
has he expended valuable labor us
chairman Of the street committee. Pro
bablyu other citizen would have dis
played so much patient, consecutive
and jndicious labor oh the streets with
80 small means at his disposal MAJOR
McLaren is worker Ia every 7cu-c nt
the word, prominent business man
and dcservcdly popular personally
