demanded, there Was sufficlenE to in
crease the total vote polled over that OF
some other years, and 1t N gratifying
10 know that the moral and intelligent
character OF the Board has not deteri-
grated.
In the First ward, William Kyne
succeeds himself, there being no oppo-
sing candidate, and even had there
been denomination to replace him
with some one else, In all probability
he could have beaten any candidate
brought out against him. Mr.. Kyne
has been 80 long in the Board that he
has made himself. quite efficient.
In lhe 5scond ward, B. Il. Heisler,
who has represented that ward In the
board for many years with but oHe
short break, has been defeated and Is
succeeded by Myers Hayes, foreman

of extra vagance in the furnishing OF the
High School building, his defeat Ia at
tributable TO that cause.
In the Third ward there was spirit.
cd contest, which ended in the return
of j. P. Theodore Feukel who has been
a member for the last eight years. Mr..
Feukel has always been one OF the best
and intelligent members Of the board,
and has always acted in an indepsn-
dent and non-partisan manner. His
place could hardly have been filled
with better man from that ward.
The Fourth ward presented an un-
usual scene OF excitement during the
whole afternoon, the contest ending
with the return Of T. EllwoOd Singley
As his own successor. The iDjudicious
attack and incorporate language used
by all the English daily papers In the
city except the REPUBLICAN,, to defeat
Mr.. Singley, was no doubt the cause Of
his election, and had the REPUBLICAN,
Joined In the attack his majority would
proba bly, have been much larger. The
people, As a general rule, will sympa-
