cut by Republicans. Hurst made An un-
expected run for common council, aud
McMullen, against whom the opposition
centered its strength, was unexpectedly
defeated, though both be and Lichty ran
we'll up.
.Ths Third Ward.
There was bloody factional fight
among the Republicans Of Third ward,
resulting from the way in which Mcneil
lens friends had been slaughtered at the
primaries and the effect of this aud of Mr..
Henry VOLTS personal popularity was
that he is elected to select council bv a
handsome majority. Capt. Geo. F.
Spres6A was almost elected to the
Cd branch, and the anti Barr
faction have the satisfaction of know.
ing that the rotuud alderman will not be
clerk of the next select council. He is also
slated for defeat for the Office Of alderman
and tho ward gave good account of
itself on the mayOralty.
The Republican Stronglolls.
In the Fourth and Fifth wards the Re-
rublicans with heavy majorities at their
backs, active politicians, plenty of money,
friendly election officers and all the con-
veniences of the occasion. pOlled heavy ma
.iOrities, although in the Fifth their candi-
date for alderman, Michael McGlinn, a
most notOriOusly unfit man, was nearly
defeated and would have been beaten out
Of sight save for the seli-Sacrificiug efforts
of his oppOnent-Mr. VIM. B. Strine-in
behalf Of tho Democratic candidate for
mayor. Mr.. Strine was an unwilling
candidate and had no notion of opening

ran and many other Republican Office
holders worked the ward up briskly and
fought their battle desperately. The Dem.
Ocrats counted OF 4 Republican advantage
of some 40 on the straight vote, but hoped
TO partly overcome this ON mayor and to
elect their select councilman and some
members to tho common branch. They
were completely beaten, except for asses
sor and constabie-oflices in which the in
cumbents always have great advantage.
Two democratic Stronshoids.
In the Seventh and Eighth wards tho
Democrats fought bravely and despite the
storm did we'll. The opposition became
demoralzed early in the day aud the
Democracy made q clean sweep in both
wards. The result in the Eighth was
especially gratifying because of Republican
beasts that it was demOralizcd and dis
affected. The party there never worked
more harmOnlously, sOlidly and efficiently.
Old and young pulled brayely together and
their heroic efforts were crowned with the
splendid majority of 413 for MacGOnigle
That settled il.
The OlI Ninth
No ward deserves more credit than
the Ninth. There too tho opposition
boasted Of Democratic disaffectiOn, and
were ans Hered by splendid organization
of the Democracy with Is clean sweep,
even beating that traitor to- them, Andy
Flick, by bi. majority. 1t was great
day for the Democracy Of the Ninth ward.
KECEIyING THE NEWS.
The Scenes Oh the Streets After tho Polls
Closed.
The square was crowded very early in
the evening, and big crowds gathered in
and around the newspaper offices to hear
tho news. They were SLOW coming irii
and though the Democrats were confident
of success, the unexpected majOrities in
the Republican wards and the loss OF
common council discouraged them little;
by midnight the crowds had greatly de-
creased, but when the Eighth ward
was reported officially wild cheers
rent the air. The band had gone home,
but few drums we're found the crowd
marched to the Stevens house, called tho
mayor to 4 front window, and cheercd him
again and again. w. U. Henscl addressed
them briefly, and after serenading Alder
man McCOnOmy and Select Councilman
elect Brown and others. the bows marched
through and rallied the First, Ninth and
Eighth wards and made it lively for SOW
eral hours.
