The City Clerk, Geo. G. Burgess, received 16
votes out of 2S, Benjamin f. Andrews receiv-
ing the remaining II.
For City Treasurer and Collector, Henry w.
Hersey received all but one vote, and for City
Auditor Cyrus NOVEL; received 16 out of 26,
George w. Woodbury. receiving the remaining
vote.
The City Messenger, John L. Shaw, received
the unanimous vote of the convention, as did
also Harrison S. Clay for Street Commissioner.
For City Solicitor, VIM. 81. Looney received
10 out of % votes, showing that he must have
received two Democratic votes. Geo. E. Bird
was his opponent, receiving votes.
The remaining officers were elected on ma
jorities ranging as above until the Chief En-
gineer of the Fire Department was reached.
Granville Ell. Cloyes and Nahum Littlefeld re-
ceiving Il each. The Mayor having the cast
ing vote, decided in favor of Mr.. Littlefeld,
and declared him elected.
The ballots for assistant engineers were next
taken and the Republican candidates, Charles
ID. Skillings, Albert S. Mitchell. Charles W.
Gushing and Robert w. jackson were declared
elected. But it was found that by some mis-
take there were thirty votes cast Tor Two OF tho
officers, two more than the legal number. It
was therefore voted to ballot again and it was
done. The committee to count the votes after
attempting to do their duty, reported that the
ballots were so mixed that it was impossible
for them to make report. 1t was then voted
to cast the ballots for each candidate singly
and the first assistant, Chas. D. Skillings was
elected.
The ballot for second assistant engineer
resulted in tie and the Mayor surprised
everybody by declaring his vote in favor of
Albert S. Mitchell, the Republican candidate,
in preference to Robert Ell. Murphy on the
Democratic side.
The ballot for third assistant engineer re-
suited in no choice for either candidate,
Charles W. Gushing received IA, Rotert A.
Murphy u, and A. H. Rogers 2. A second
ballot was taken which resulted in tie be-
tween Gushing and Murphy. The Mayor cast
his ballot for Murphy and declared him
elected.
The ballot for fourth assistant engineer came
out like that for the third, Robert W. Jack
son receiving ID, A. Fl. Rogers 10, and d. s.
jackson and Rogers, and the Mayor cast his
vote for jackson.
By the above break in the fire department
it will be seen that neither the chief nor any of
his assistants lives in the upper part of the city
but are all east of Green street.
The remaining officers were elected in the
usual manner and the convention dissolved.
In Board of Common Council.
The Board met pursuant to adjournment,
and after receiving and returning messages for
q joint convention, met in joint convention in
the Council Room. After the convention the
Board adjourned.
