II is understood that the railroads will
have only one representative in ths new
board, and that in the person Of W F.
Red. Mr.. Z. \. Smith has been claimed
rs dis:inctively a railroad representative,
but these in a position . know diSavow It,
Ms5srs 5. 4. Jones, and George J Bald
via were acceptable 20 the railroad clubs.
and were named by them, but they are
among the defeated candidates. Tr. Jones
might have been elected, but for his
loyalty TO the party which nominated
him 4 gentleman representing the
Schwarz management visited Mr. Jones
and proposed 10 put the name OF the latter
on the SchwaTZ ticket II he would not
take any active part tgainst the Schwarz
ticket. Mr.. Jones reply was that having
been nominated by a convention represent
ing all Of the democratic clubs in the city,
and having accepted the nomination, tie
felt in honor bound not only T. vote the en-
tire ticket but to do bis best to elect it, and
this be should do whether his name was
placed on or left of Of the Schwarz ticket
HIS name was left off. but he came within
thirty-siI votes Of being elected.

voters, one day in preparing for the cleo
ton, one day in conducting the election,
and two DAYS in counting the vote.
The newly elected mayor and aldermen
will be indicted into office at the city ex-
change at noon Monday next. The oath Of
Office will be administered in the long
room by Judge adams Of the superior

THE LIQUOR MEN ANXIOUS.
The Schwarz men were very jubilant
Wednesday night after the result Of tue
election was announced, and some Of them
didn't 60 home till morning. Mai
Schwarz's election has led 70 the discussion
Of an interesting question by some Of those
who did not support him. Whio he re-
ceived the active support Of nearly all Of the
liquor dealers he was antagomzed by a Few
of them, and the few are debating the ques.
ton whether the new mayor will make fish
Of one and flesh of another. II he
attempts this, however, the minor
ity men say that they will put every Ger
man and colored saloon keeper on the in
formation docket and compel fair play.
There appears 70 be an impression
in some quarters that grea OF
iaxity Of the Sunday law will fol
low Mayor Schwarzs induction into office
and If the lower class Of liquor saloons
kept by white and colored retailer,
are not compelled 10 keep their places
closed on the Sabbath those Interested in the
peace and quietude Of the day will resort C
the grand jury for relief. The enforce
ment OF the ordinance by Mayor Lester
some time ago was satisfactory TO the bet
ter class Of saloon keepers who expressed q
willingness 70 close every Sunday II no par
TALLY were shown and all were compelled
10 close.
WHY THEY KEPT OPEN.
Interviews with two or three saloor
keepers yesterday brought cut the COMES
sion that they kept the back doors II theu
saloons open on the seventh day Of the weel
NOT haCafIga thpv Vynuf a soil luuOr ON SIM
day, but because Of the fact that in orde
to hold their week day trade they are CON
PEELED 70 keep open because Others do so
Thor preference, however, is 70 take a da,
Of rest, and give their employees day o
rest, and this could be done X oil retail
dealers in liquors were compelled TO clos
on Sunday.
IL the new mayor Is not in sympathy
with the enforcement Of the laws and ord
