 The town and city returns were received last night as usual under Peck's Grand Opera House in the main hallway. There was large audience in attendance although it was not a theatrical entertainment. A dense cloud of smoke lowered about and over the assembled multitude which was regarding
 with immense interest the principal actors within the Demo Republican precincts. Faintly visible through the smoke were the well known faces of rising politicians some smiling over ass urance of success others chewing the bitter cud of disappointment. Sitting in the extreme rear on the rise or steps, enthroned like Cesar overlooking the Senators, was Weigand Schlein with attend ant kinsmen, while waiting and receiving the news were Town Moderator Hon. W. H. Law, City Moderator Alexander McAllister, Representative A. Heaton Robertson, Hon. Alexander Troup, Judge Demlng and Law yer Mix, chairmen respectively of the Repub- lican and Democratic town committees, Max
 Thalheimer, Rutherford Trowbridge, Town
 Clerk lShuster, Constable Catlin and many
 others, making up considerable of a variety show,
