MAYOR PATTlSON
The Battle EndeI Ana The County
Still! Safe.

Our city campaign was OF but hiteen
DAYS duration. but it was a warm one,
and every voter of the city was
thoroughly canvaSsed by some one of
the four candidates for Mayor. and
most of them by all. \ day or two
before the election Mr.. Brennan with
drew from the race, leaving Pattison,
Dobie and Paden clear track. Mr.
Pattison was the straight Republican
nominee. Mr.. paden is a Democrat
Mr. Dobie's rediGree has never been
recorded, but he is supposed to be a
mixture of Democrat, Republican,
Prohibition and 6hisky, at least this
is the mixture he fed his followers and
Il sicker lot Of fellows we meyer saw.
Mr.. Paden was 50 unfortunate as
TO have record as member of the
notorious Village Council, and so the
PEOPLE coald not trust him. Mr..
Dobie's election meant 4 continuance
of the McRae dynasty and the people
have had enough Of that sort Of rule and
this it is which accounts for Mr.. Patti
sons large vote.
This is good sign. The people are
beginning to get tired of corruption
in high Il!ccs'' and have begun re-
form at the head of the ticket, and,
while the new council is, we think,
better than the old in some respects,
we have already heard the remark
made that next year this branch Of
our local government would be reno
waited and purified.
Politically there is no change in oar
own, the first, but in the second ward
our dealy beloved and highly es-
teemed friend with Republican pro
clivitles IL his hip pocket and Demo
cratic votes in his handiest vest pocket,
Louie Moran, lies silent, stiff and cold
under the sod. Tears of sympathy Eli
our eyes as we contemplate the sad
procession Of contractors and jobbers
which follow his remains to the silent
tomb. Louie, fare thee well, and
may the Lord have mercy on YOU.
The next grave to this is that OF
Capt J. e. \. Leblanc, who, before
the election, WAS willing to stake his
political reputation that he could just
more than scoop any ether man in the
third ward in the race fer Alderman.
That the stake had no foundation in fact
is shown by the returns when Mic An
dersOn comes in as an Independent
racer and walks of with the grand
prize distancing the Captain at TIE
post. Capt, we are sorry for You
and we hope with the aid of another
onion to squeeze out Il respectable
sized tear for You.
There are few other dead corp
sas" Strewn over the field which VIII
be left there to be deyoured by the
political buzZards which seem to feed
and fatten upon such flesh. We have
not time to allude to thema I'll now.
The vote cf the city was most salts
factory, the total being 1853, a gain of
over 800 since last spring, and it is
clearly demonstrated that the city is
safely Republican when party vote is
required. As we figure it, our incom-
ing administration Will be a Republi-
can Mayor and the council viii stand Q
Republicans and ) Democrats just
enough for clean. healthy working
majority, and to the new administra
ton we look for better things than the
past has developed
Mr.. Barribeau, Democrat, was cleo
ted treasurer over Mr.. Stow present
acting treasurer by the grace of Judge
Marshall and this was the only Demo
crat elected on the city ticket.
Below we give the unofficial vote on
the city ticket.
