The Democrats have, by the advantage

S. S. Brown, in Ward /, Geo. A. Alden in
Ward 2, Charles A. Hill in Ward 3. G. H.
Redington in Ward 6, and Howard Moore
In Ward Z as aldermen. Democratic coloni-
zation also helped them hold their grip on
the wards. But the Democratic ring will
not have its own way entirely with Nathan

publicans like DIR. Thayer and @. g. Carle-
ton in the board of aldermen. There will be
some lively scenes in the city government if
the Democrats attempt any more gravel pit
