PROBABLY BEATEN.
Rum and the rain combined carried the day In the
charter elections in Jersey City yesterday. The vote
pollsd comparatively light, the Republicans and
advocates of high license being scared from the
polls by the steady pour and the natural result was
a victory for the Democrats. The principal liquor
fight was made on the Aldermen and Police Commits
sioners to whom is entrusted the enforcement OF the
new High License law, and the Democrats have Sc
cured two-thirds Of the Board Of Aldermen and the
entire Police Board Mayor Cleveland has been re-
elected by majority Of 1000, nearly three times the
majority he had two years ago. The Republican can
dldate, ex-Alderman Frederick Hauser proved weak
for several reasons. lie German running on a
high license platform, and for that reason did not
get the German vote. Richard J. Allen, the Labor
candidate, forced his candidacy the Labor party,
and consequently about 75 per cent of the Labor vote
went to Mr. Cleveland Joel o. Brown, the Prohibi-
tion candidate. who was put up by those who prefer
free rum to high license local option or anything
short OF absolute prohibition, almost an unknown
quantity in the race and the few votes he did get
taken from The Republican candidate

of the Republicans in putting up weak candidate In
