Republicans Ia all, Z; Democrats, 0
1t is evident that the Democrats intent
tn unseat Mr.. Rawlingin the First ward
which will make the First Branch stant
10 Democrats to 0 Republicans.
In the Second Branch there are OF
the face OF the returns 7 Republican,
and II Democrats, with a tie In the Thirt
ward. OF course the Democratic ma
iority will elect the Democrat. In tn,
case Of Mr.. Belleville, on the Island, !
is probable that the Democrats will de
clare Mr.. Belleville ineligible and sea
his highest opponent. This will max,
the Council stand 20 Democrats TO i
Republicans.
HOW 1T WAS DONE.
Above are the officials whowill ruleove
this city, and the memb,rs Of CounCi
who will lpgislate for the municipalit.
in the next two years. The election
passed off quietly enough. The vot
polled was not large, largely owing, NJ
doubt, 10 the bad weather, Thearrange
ments for getting voters TO the polls dix
not seem very complete, though appar
emily better on the Democratic than I'll,
Republican side. The new city ordi
nance conforming 10 the amended Stat
election law was enforced, flags general
ly being used TO designate the sixty.ioo
limit from the polling place, within
which no solicitation or work coul1 b.
done.
On the Island one Of the Republican
nominees for Council Mr.. j. NJ. Belle
vile, was ruled by the Commissioner
to be not entitled to vote, not haVinI
been resident OF the city for year. !
is claimed, however, that there arc sew
enl presidents on record TO the eliec
that a member Of Council elect cal
serve II resident OF the ward from
which he is elected, regardless OF thu
length Of his residence there. City So
licitor Caldwell is quoted, also, as sayinl
that MIR. Beleville is qualified TO serv,
in Council. :,
In the Sixth ward the name Of g. w
Rumble was substituted by the Demo
Gratis for that OF II. O. Caldwell, as
candidate for member Of the Firs
Branch, Mr.. Caldwell, under the changed
ward division, not being q resident o
the sixth. The candidates for the Secont
Branch In that ward were also scaled II
number 10 8, to meet the requirement.
OF the new ordinance.
