In this city to-day. There was hot battle
all day, and when It was over II was dis
covered that only two men on the republI-
can ticket had been elected. These men are
W.GoodAle, superintendent of the Gagnon
mine, who ran for alderman In the Second
ward, and L. A. SHAW, alderman In the
Seventh ward. Goodale's majority was
only twenty-five votes; Shaw's thirty. The
total vote for mayor was 1,6i5, out OF
total registration Of 2.42l. Mr.. Kenyon's
total majority is B5, and he carried
every ward in the city with the
exception OF the second, In which
Gen. Warren resides. Warren's majority
Ia this ward was ony7. George Newklrk,
Tor police magistrate, has majority OF s4S
over Milo French, the republican candi-
date. Frank 4. Corbett, for city attorney,
received the highest majority; he beats W.
%. Speer by 42i votes. Simon Jacobs de-
feats the republican candidate, w. C.
Bachelor, for city treasurer by sss. The
democratic aldermen elected are: First
ward, John Condon; third, Dan Tewey:
fourth, John II. Cowan; fifth, sam Ayotte;
sixth, Henry Mueller. The republicans
are Q. w. Goodale In the second and Il. A.
Shaw In the seventh. There are seven held
over aldermen in the council; five OF these
are republicans and one is democrat and
one calls himself an independent, but is
really democrat The election Of five
democratic aldermen and a democratic
mayor gives the city government entirely
into the hands OF democrats, as the council
will be tie and the mayor has the casting
vote. The fight has been q hard one, and
considerable feeling has been excited. The
unusually light vote is circumstance that
no one cah explain.

and contains portraits Of Judge Trip,
Gov. Church and Delegate Clifford. The
arti Gle is an exhaustive description of
the territory. written in a truthful and
modest manner and cannot fail to prove
interesting and a splendid advertisement
for Dakota. 1t is of locsl interest to
note, however, that Kimball does not
appear on the finely engraved map
which is among the illustrations, though
seemingly every town, big or little. in
the territory is on the map, including
such burgs as Gam Valley, Duncan,
Waterbury, Chamberlain, Coyls. etc,
There is nothing particularly strange In
this, however. Mighty few maps of Da
