corporation Election.

On the first Monday of May the corporation
election for the city of Westminster takes
place, and for several days previous there is
always little excitement or anxiety as to who
are to have charge of the corporation affairs.
For a number of years there has baen elected
a mixed ticket-one half Democrats and the
other half Republicans. Some little opposi-
ton was developed on Saturday last against
Mr.. Schaeffer, the present mayor, and on
Monday there were two tickets in the field.
The contest between the friends of the rival
candidates for mayor was good natured,
though an occasional partisan would insist
that his ticket was the best for the general
interests of the people. One ticket was
headed by Milton Schaeffer for Mayor, with
Messrs. Herr, Derr, Roller, Wilson and
Stouch for Councilmen, and the other had
Hashabiah Haines for Mayor, and Messrs.
Wilson, Derr. Herr, Huff and Miller for
Councimen. The polls opened at ~ m.
The ticket-holders and friends of each were
promptly on hand, and they continued to
work for their respective friends until the polls
closed at 6 p. m, when the ballots were count
ed. For Mayor Milton Schaeffer received POI
votes and Hashabiah Haines III; for Coun-
cilmen, the vote was Frank X. Herr 438,
Theodore Derr APO, James j. Roller 246,
Henry |. Wilson 429, George Stouch 257,
Gershom Huff 1919 and George A. Miller III.
Messrs. Herr, Derr and Wilson were on both
tickets. Mr.. Miller having been placed on
the ticket without his consent, declined to
serve if elected, which materially lessened his
vote. Seven votes were cast for persons who
were not candidates.
