ODDS AND ENDS.

Among the host of loyal Democrats
who did good work in the campaign
just closed. few stand higher than A. N.
Nelson, the present county treasurer.
Mr.Nelson workedsas tirelessly as though
he were himself candidate, and his eff
forts added great many votes to the
Democratic column.
1t is putting it mildly to say that A.
P. CroonquiSt considers himself Endorsed
by the election returns as they came in
Tuesday evening. Col. Kiefer probably
wishes that he had pulled straight in
1881, when the two We're running mates
on the Republican county ticket.
Broken election promises, like chickens,
always come home to rOost.
johnny" Gehan'S phenomenal run
in the Ninth ward was topic Of gen.
eral conversation yesterday among the
people. Lit was generally conceded that
the vile abuse heaped upon both Mr..
Gehan and Aid. Cullen in the late cam
paign added largely to their majorities.
As a member of the Republican COM
mttee remarked yesterday: "Neither
Hinkens nor SimmOn was in the race at
all" The people OF st. Paul were too
well acquainted with the records of
MesSrs. Gehan and Cullen in the coun-

Yesterday, and all observers of the
events of the past two Or three days
agree that Tuesdays election passed off
more peacefully than. any election in
years past. Most Republicans expected
their party to carry nothing.and so they
were not disappointed. The Demo-
Gratis expected the earth, and got just
what they expected. '':' 49,
The, county auditors Office presented
busy scene yesterday. because of the
bringing in of the election returns. It.
seems that in municipal elections the
returns go to the county auditors office
instead Of to the city clerks Office. as
in former Years. A copy of the returns
is required to be made by the judges of
each election district and forthwith
filed in the Office of the city clerk.
The public has Aid. Sanborn's word
for it that the city election under the
new law would be pure and fair. 1t
might be added, however, that Mr..
under the new law the Democrats al
ways lost.
Judge Flandrau, o. o. Cullen and
Joseph Minea are the most prominently
mentioned for the presidency Of the
council.
The kid fraternity in charge of the
Republican party has decided to bottle
up its wrath ana spring it all at once
next fall.
J. C. Michael remarked good-nat-
uredly to Aid. Sanborn: at was hard
enough. for you to pull through withous
oppDsition.' -
Judge Nelson was in good spirits over
his vote, and spoke of it as boastinglyr
as if he had been elected. He said that
his 1.500 votes, distributed over all
parts of the city. was very gratifying.
In speaking of the result of the cleo
ton, COL Klefer said yesterday: am,
not sorry for myself, but am sorry for
my friends. | made good run, and,
made it as a gentleman should" *
There were 1,467 votes cast in the
Seventh ward. Of these, Aid. Sanborn
got 1,059 and Rankin 1876. There are
thus 272 votes to account for. They
were probably those Of good Democrats
who could not bring themselves to vote
for the Republican candidate for alder+
man. The Democrats made MISTAKE
in not putting up good candidate in
this ward. iii
