4 Bosr0H, Doc. 10 The Democratic
( party split into factions over issues en-,
tireiy irrelevant TO the object in view IN
the contest here to-day, and suffered
severe defeat. The Republicans
re elected Mayor Hart By majority
estimated 81 5000, while the Republicans
have elected their school commissioners
4 thanks to the female yoter4J and gained
III both the adermanic and council con.
test, putting them in full possession OF
the city government.
The chief cause OF this re.ult is the
support the Republicans received from
the lluor influence, The saloon keepers
depending entirely upon the Republican
state 5fiiciaiB for their licenses.
The secrecy OF the Australian ballet
permitted wholesale trading Of votes by
which the Republicans benefited; for Ia
each district they wonld have but n
single candidate to several Democratic
ones. In the Ninth district there were
nine Democrats mp for alderman, result
ing in the return Of Republican alder
man from solid Democratic section.
The balloting was most orderly, no loaf
ing being allowed near the polling
booths.
The Australian ballot system had an
other successful trial in to-day's munici-
pal election. The results only confirm
the favorable opinions created at the
state election. There was the same alb
sence of confusion at the polling places
the same facility afforded the voter to
record his verdict without interference
or moleststion and the same air of salts
faction resting on the faces OF the cleo
ton officers at being abia TO perform
their work in ease and quiet.
One notable difference between the city
election OF this year and last was the
absence of workers at the preciacts in
the interests Of the various school com.
mittee candidates. A year ago that was
feature Of the canvassi to-day, while the
interest was not entirely lacking, the ex
citement then prevailing had largely died
away, and women themselves did MOI
come ont in such large numbers.
Minor points in which the new law Oh
its observance appeared TO be defective a
month ago seem to have been corrected
to-day. Especially was this the case
with reference to the admission o. voters
behind the rail before they had giyer
their names to the ballot clerks aud re
ceiyed their ballots. In most cases Ii,
bar closing the entrance was Kept dowt
until the required formalities had beer
gone through with, In few OF the pre-
cincts the ballot boxes did not worl
properly, having been manipulated b
those who did not understand them, ans
they had TO be replaced by others ffoli
the city hall. After the arrival of til
new boxes everything went on smoothly
sIAP AT GRESHAM.
INpIAH4r1LIs, Dec. 10.-The appoint
! ment Of Judge Brewer to the Suprem
bench is conltruet by the friends 0
Judge Gresham here as an attempt on tn
part o. Harrison to humiliate tue latter
| because Gresham at enc time interfere
, and set aside recGiyarship which Bfewe
, had cregtsd. While Drummond was d
the bench Brewer appointed Tut anu
HUMPHREYS receivers of the Wabasl
, system Of railroads. Afterwards the 70
] ceivership was extende into Illinois anl
this stote. When Gresham came upo,
i the bench the bondholdera asked for
/ receiver for all the Wabash system, ant
he set aside the action OF Judge Rrewe
and appointed Judge Cooley and after
> wards General McNnlta. 'Gais so in
; censed Brewer that hs referred to il Ii

: believed that Harrison intended thu ap
' pointment to be slap OF Gresham au,
the latter'a friends SO construe it.
