martial band had banner, 1.-THE music DR..
Ames marched to during the war" Several
bands drove from place to place cheering
the crowds by their enlivening music.
The COopers' band, lately organized, was
frequently greeted with applause. The
Minneapolis cOlored band was out for the
Republicans although an Ames card APP
peared in the hat of the leader. During
the day Dr. Ames drove around in tan
dem from precinct to precinct and was re-
peatedly cheered. The crowd at each poll
ing place was large, extending along the
sidewalks and out into the street
Business seemed TO be almost suS-
pended and the streets were thrOnged.
Probably the liveliest place in the city was
in the First precinct of the Sixth ward.
The crowd at the engine house at no time
was less than 500, and in the afternoon
numbered several thousand. The enthusi-
aSm among the Democrats knew no bounds.
DR.. Ames was given a perfect ovation; and
when he was seen approaching in car
rage, hundreds ran up the street TO greet
him. When c. A. Pillsbury appeared the
reception was slightly different, although a
good natured one. He was sa!uted with
cries of where's your four?" 80 day."
etc. The day was warm and bright, and
the 'snowing UNDER the Republicans re-
ceived cannot be laid at the door of the pro-
verbal rainy day, which is usually held re-
spOnSible for the defeats of the g. o. p.
The conspicuous feature of the day was the
unprecedented turnout of the ''dinner-paiP'
brigade, embracing all natiOnalities.

County Attorney Davis has won laurels in
this campaign. He turned about 500 Repuo-

Col. Fred Hooker will probably move out 4
the city. He claimed that Minneapolis would
be laid desolate If Ames was elected.
Dude attorneys who feel a sudden affection
for workingmen will probably not be asked
TO speak in the next campaign.
1t is suspected that Judge Shaw's son has

he believed DR.. Ames would give the peo-
pie good and honest administration of

Chicago Likes the New Law.

CHICAGO, April 6.-This city had its
/ first test of 'the new state election law to-
day. The polls were open at o'clock

cinets, and in consequence balloting pro-

little disorder at one or two of the down.
town precincts, but taking the city through
3 out, the day was one of great
quietneSS. The Republicans had candi-
dates in sixteen wards and
: supported two independent candidates in
two wards, while the Democrats and Pro-
hibitionistS had candidates in every ward.
( The Prohibition vote was almost nominal.
: The ballOting was for eighteen aldermen
and for town officers in the three towns in
which the city is divided. The results of
the election are decidedly in favor of the
Republicans. They gain six aldermen.
The city council has been a tie, but will
now stand twenty-four Republicans to
; twelve Democrats. OF the eighteen hold
/ over aldermen thirteen are Republicans and
; five Democrats. With one exception the
! town offices have gone as usual, the South
and West towns to the Republicans and the

How Mayor PiIIsbury Feels.

AT 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon Mayor
Pillsbury had practically given up the
struggle. He said in very gracious spirit
that If the citizens of Minneapolis wanted
DR.. Ames for mayor they certainly should
have him. ''He is a man of great execu-
tive ability and would give an excellent adj
ministration." He felt that he had followed
out the dictates of the party as voted by
the people two years ago, and felt per-
fectly willing TO accord that the revolution
Of sentiment had established the fact that
a change was demanded. He said he would
feel fully as happy as though he had been
Endorsed by the people and he would 90 to
Europe to spend the summer and Col. Clark
would not occupy the chair in his absence.

and said that the people of Mime
apoliS should have no occasion
to regret the confidence they had reposed in
him. Cheer after cheer went up. and such
an ovation was never before rendered any
public man in the city. Addresses were
also made by o. Rinehart, r. E. Kelly and
A. T. Ankeny, the latter stating that this
was not party but a peoples victory, and
that we should be generous to the defeated.
He said he had no hesitation in trusting DIR.
Ames to fairly care for the public interests.
Now that the campaign is over much will
be forgotten. and all will come to recognize

was further enlivened by bands of music.
The meeting then adjourned, all feeling
happy, and none more so than hundreds of
