WHITE CAN CUT, TOO.
The Political Knife Will
Change Hands.
WHAT THE SITUATION IS.
The Prospects Are Very Bright For a
Democratic Mayor.

The result of the election Tuesday is
very gratifying to the Democrats. The
Democratic candidates for Mayor polled
as many votes as Mayor Goodwin polled
last year. Last year the Democratic can
didate polled 1,726. This year he has
plurality OF 526 which shows that there is
a solid Democratic party OF over l,SOO
votes in this city which cannot be drawn
away by any means, and which stands
firm for the principles Of the party.
The Democrats are more than elated
with their success. They never expected
to win on the first day and held them
selves in reserve and in good trim for
second days fight. In the contest OF
Tuesday, many people had their personal
preferences for different ward officers and
were more or less biased In their vote on
this account. In voting for their prefer
ences for Aldermen and Councilmen they
also voted for the candidate for Mayor OF
the same party. The Democratic candi-
date jokingly says that he feels much
relieved by having the ward contests of
his shoulders and now that there Is moth
he feels sure that the Democrtic vote will
come out in solid phalanx and will win
with a sweeping majority.
Mr.. White, the Republican candidate, Is
justly indignant with the treatment he
received at the hands of his own party.
He was terribly cut in the house of his
friends. 1t was known before the pri-
AaII hat ha fa
for the Office of mayor, and those who did
not want him had plenty of opportunity
to oppose him at the primaries. They did
not do so and consequently he received
unanimous nomination. 1t is very evident
that he and his friends will not make any
fight at the next election because their
feelings will be such that they will wish
togive the prominent Republicans who ac-
complished his defeat stinging rebuke.
Ex- Lieutenant Governor Darling, ex-
Governor Littlefeld and Colonel Lyman
Goff are taking a great deal OF pleasure in
the fact that they have defeated White
but their Joy will be short t-lived II White
and his friends have their way, for the
men who control the Republican City
SOInHultJce auu Cdn SdTTy tuc htpuDiiSah
primaries will show them in the Spring
that they will control the delegates to the
State convention and the Republican
nominees for the General Assembly.
The next contest will, according to the
general talk on the street, be more be-
tween Carroll and Sherman than between
Carroll and White. The Sherman meff
fee down in the mouth but are quite
satisfied with the vote they have got.
Their hope now is that the White men will
go over to Sherman and elect him and
they will put out stronger efforts than
ever before but it is quite possible their
hopes may be blasted.
The Democrats are quite confident and
have all the resources that are needed for
the next campaign. The Democratic City
Committee will have q meeting immedi-
ately and will go to work with not only
the vigor shown on Tuesdays election,
which was extraordinary, but also with a
dash which means confidence in future
victory.
They are certain of winning and will
not stop working until the victory is
