A FALSE REPORT.

Rockers Seat viii Not BE Con-
tcsted---PoIitical Gossip.
The published report that Judge
Hookcr's election would be contested
turns out 10 be untrue. y. L. Ankeny
says he never had any thought of con-
testing, as he considered Hooker's
plurality OF nearly SEQ loo large to war
rant contest. inasmuch as the irregu-
larities in the count were not sufficient,
50 far as he has heard, to indicate that
Judge Hooker'S plurality could be
wiped out. lSanti county was
what beat him. Up there Judge
Hooker was on the Republican.
Prohibition and Alliance tickets,
Pond was ON the Prohibition and Dem
ocratic tickets, and Canty polle6 big
vote because of loung's weakness.
Then there was Il certain amount OF
chicanery reSOrted to up there which,
added to- the other circumstances.
brought about Mr.. Ankeny's defeat. He
polled as big vote us any one in Hen
nepin, but he got only the normal DEM
ocratic vote In lsanti, whence his de-
feat. But Mr.. Ankeny isn't worrying
any about that. AS for c. NJ. Foote de-
mandiDg a recount, that is out of the
question. Said Foote yesterday:
'All of the men on the county ticket,
with which alone | was connected, were
elected, and there my cares ended. l
would have no authority 10 demand
recount of the Judiciary vote"

EnOch Hidden, the Democratic candi-
date for alderman in the Second ward,
has begun contest proceedings i'll the
district court. The preliminary papers
were fled Yesterday. As stated in the
official documents, the grounds for con
test are as follows:
In the First precinct there were cast
three more legal votes for contestant
than were counted for him, placing
them 10 the credit of BarroWS and
throwing out two votes east for him. In
the Second election district ten legal
votes were taken from him and given to
BarrowS. also two counted that should
have been thrown out. Five votes are
also claimed TO have been thrown out
that should have gone to Hidden.
In the Third ward difference of
twelve votes is claimed wrongfully
placed to the credit of Barrows. In the
Fourth precinct nine votes are claimed
claimed in the Fifth precinct. In the
Sixth precinct six votes too many are
claimed to have been given Barrows.
In the Seventh precinct Hidden claims
to have lost five votes.
The further claim is made that the in
correct returns of the Judges made to
the city council shows 156 votes cast for
Barrows and 73S for Hidden, but do not
correctly state the number of legal votes
cast for either at the several election
districts. Hidden claims plurality of
so votes, and asks the court TO take
hand in the count.
WOuld-be health officers are resorting
To all sorts of schemes to defeat Dr.
kilvington. The latest is circular
which is being distributed among the
aldermen. 1t is in the form of a long
personal attack by J. \. Mackenzie, of
6l2 Girard avenue, upon the health Off
Ger. accusing the latter of Iyranncaily
holding Mrs. Mackenzie aud child in
Minneapolis after the child had recov-
cred from scarlet fever. thereby working
detrment to his business. Mackenzie
had engaged parlOrS near Union square,
aud ordered printing done bearing dates
Tor the display of certain musical inStru-
mentS of his, when he received tele-
gram from his wife announcing that she
had been delayed in Minneapolis. Both
Mackenzie and his wife complain of
coarse. unretihed treatment at the hands
Of DR.. Kilvington as well as of excessive

pipe. AT the very last of the
circular, Mr.. Mackenzie serious
ly accuses DIR. Kilvington of
receiving brides, citing the case of IL
nurse, Miss Conover, whom he had en-
ployed to attend the child, who was al
lowed to remove herself and trunk from
the house to Maple Plain, Mimi, during
the period of scarlet fever. But KIP
isn't much worried. He continues to
smoke his cob pipe and relies upon the
official records of his department to dis
prove the circular.
AID. Lowell and some eight or ten
of his aldermanic friends met over a
quiet post-election dinner at the
Holmes, Monday night, and though
they said nothing, thought how nice it
would be to elect Aid. Lowell to the
presidency of the council. The fight
lies between him and Aid. Potter. and
1t promises to be warm one.
