THE RESULT

The election yesterday on the general
ticket, being unanimous, attracted but
little interest, though it resulted in an ad-
mirable selection of city officers. The
entire contest of the day was over the
aldermen in the First and Fifth wards. In

but as his opponent, Mr.. Koenig, has secured
the nomination of both parties, it does not seem
profitable to discuss such an event. There is no
reason to deprecate the apparent certainty OF
MIR. Koenig's election. He is an educated Ger
man, with an intelligent interest in public
schools, and apparently with liberal views as to
their management"
Of course there could be but one result
after this commendation. DR.. Schifman.
though not the nominee of either party,
walked right over the course, having 253
majority. The blight was fatal.
