The Figures.

Yesterday was lively day for the
candidates and voters. More interest
was manifested than ever before In
any election held in this city. The
leading candidates contested every
inch of the ground, and their friends
did not leave stone unturncd, and
very few voters in the city did not go
to the polls. All day carriages were
driven through the city aud the
horses were playcarded with large
letters "vote for so and So" The
"workers" for their favorite candi-
dates were numerous, and they were
a mixture of colors. A highly color
ed man did not hesitate to ask any
man TO vote the ticket he represented
II was very strange that no fighting
or fussing occurred, but very few got
out of good humor, and the crowds
surged aud swayed about the streets,
often blocking the sidewalks so they
were impossible. No doubt n
great deal Of money was spent, as the
men running for mayor, marshal and
attorney went in to win. A great
deal of betting was INDUCED in, and
| thousands of dollars changed hands.
The most exciting race was that for
! mayor, yet many were moi
afraid to pu. up money on
their favorites. In walking the length
of one block one could almost be con.
WINGED that all four OF the candidates
for mayor would be elected. During
the afternoon dodgers were printed
stating that one or the other candi-
dates was ahead, and they we're bound
to win the race.
The race for marshal was also an
! interesting one, and the contestants
did not let any voter go unchallenged,
aud last night Mr.. Moore had conced-
ed the election to Mr.. McLaren. But
the count in the third ward
saved him the election.
The race for attorney was closely
contested, each of the five men polling
every vote they could find. IL was
not definitely known who was elected
until late hour last night, when Mr.
Blair was declared the victor.
After the polls closed great crowds
stood around and about the tables
where the judges and clerks were
counting the votes, and at times there
was such u jam that no one could gel
in aud out without the greatest diff
Guilty. When the announcement was
made of the lucky candidates a great
shout went up that caused the sleep
ing citizens TO wish the enthusiasts
were at home In their beds, instead
of being on the streets raising sucl
a hallabaloo.
The new board of aldermen are
First ward, A. Alexander and Geo. ID
Wood; Second ward, Il. G.. Tibbs ant

Her papers ours to hide.

Her slippers were united,
Her jacket wanted buttons, and

And through her WORKOUT sleeves quite

Upon her brow her fluffy hair
Like tangled sunshine lay,
Her pretty Mother Hubbard gown
Was rich In ribbons gay.
Her little shoes were deoked with bows,
