Bridgeton pioneer., 1885-03-12
THE CITY ELECTION.

Tuesdays charter election was one
of the most eXcitable ever held in
Bridgeton. A good vote was polled in
all the wards and precincts. There
was much scratching of tickets owing
to the license" or ''no-licensen issue
The Judges, Inspectors and Clerks of
Election had hard time of it count
ing the votes, and did not finish the
work until the small hours of the
morning.
The Republican candidate for May
or, Mr.. jeremiah Dubois, is elected by
a large majority over Mayor Smalley,
Democrat, the present incumbent.
Unfortunately Mr.. Jesse G. Davis, the
Republican candidate for City Tax
Collector is beaten. Owing to mis-
representation and prejudice he was
defeated. Mr.. Davis is faithful Re
publican, always true to his party.
He did not deserve such treatment
For Council the Republicans elect
Messrs. Robbins and Randolph in the
Second and Third wards, while Mr..
Horton, Democrat, is chosen in the
First ward.
The Republican Assessors, Free

officers throughout the city are elected.
