DALLAS, Apri THE city election to-day
was hOty c0nts ted, and result d in the cleo
tion of John Henry Brown as mayor by 500 ma
iority over j. w. Crowdus. The latter was the
regular Democratic nominee, but his .nomina-
ton was so unpopular that the bulk of the
party voted for his independent Democratic
opponent, who as pure and upright citizen
and veteran, JetferSOnian Democrat, has no
superior in the entire land. All the Aldermen
and members of the Board of Education
chosen, with possibly one or two close eXcep-
tons, are Democrats. One disgraceful feature
of the election was the corrupt use Of money
by the CrOwduS strikers among the negro
voters (which was inaugurated yesterday, and
carried en- to-day in the bnldeSt and most
fragrant manner. The success of Maj. Brown,
an exceedingly poor man, Is victory OF merit
over money. Fully one-half of the votes cast
against him W re by illiterate and corrupted
negroes. All classes of the better elements OF
the city, regardless of politics, are rejoicing
tonight t the result. Maj. Brown is native
