PIrTsSrReH, February s2.-The city elec-
ton, which took place yesterday, Vas at.
tended with considerable excitement The
great number of candidates In the field.
and the numerous citizens tickets In the
different wards, made it almost impossible
to give good guess at the result One.hah
Of the Select Council were elected. and the
entire Common Council. Pittsburgh 10
naturally Republican city. on account Of
the general belief that the Republican
party is the special champion Of the pro-
tective tariff. The result Is that the Com.
mon Council stands as follows: Republi.
cans, 25; Democrats, Is; Independent Rs-
publicans, L. OF the Select Councilman 10
be elected the Republicans secured 40. the
Democrats Is, and the the Independent Re-
publicans 3.
One Singular Reatare
OF the battle was that A. =. KcatinK, Q
pronounced Democrat, and withal very
good man, was openly backed by number
Of ring Republicans, among them Chris
Magce, . State boss and one OF Camcron's
most trusted henchmen. The action Of
these professionals is explained by the fact
that they could not manipulate Mr.. W. II.
Denniston, the present member from this
district, to suit their purposes, hence hs
must be defeated. MI. Denniston is eK-
ceedingly popular, % II also Mr.. Kcating,
who is q prominent iron man, and one OF
the best financial heads ever In the Coun-
ellis, OF which he has long been member
from an other ward. The contest between
these two was one Of the hottest fights Of
the day, and resulted In the election Of
Mr.. ID.
In the Eighth ward Ismuel G eogin,, the
only colored man who was ever elected TO
the Pittsburgh Council was defeated for
the Republican nomination by the candi-
dacy OF another colored man. The Eighth Is
the strong colored ward OF the city. Mr..
Geogins il . barber, and man Of consider.
able education and intelligence. He was
ability, and renectd credit on his rsce.
Hsvsi Dsass
to secure the sympathy OF the public on
the eve OF the election Is getting shot at.
This happened in the Seventeenth ward
where Mr.. p. G. Seibert and J. w. Cook,
ESQ, were candidates for councils. Mr..
Cook was the regular Republican nominee.
while Mr.. Seibert was running on Q
Mongrel ticket, having been nominated
by the independents and Endorsed by the
Democrats. The latter alleges that last
domicile at late hour. he was waylaid
and shot at with murderous intent, and
that he believes his would-be nssassins
were inspired by political opponents. Tho
general impression Is that Mr.. Seibert
must have been pretty badly shot In the
neck" when he imagined this thing.
Western lron Asseetaties.

The present The iron market is buoyant
in all departments just now, but manufsc.

therefore do not favor any open change.
IL Is whispered however, that from very

secretly getting better than card rates.
