One Of the greatest political days ever
recorded in the history Of Pawtucket was
yesterday, and when the polls closed to
the voters of the several wards last even
ing the leaders of all three parties were
the most anxious people seen for long
time. The day was all that could be de-
sired, and why some of the solid Repub-
lican voters of the First ward did not turn
out is mystery yet unsolved.
The vote in the first was a strong one,
and White did well, running but 20 votes
behind Carroll, and 229 ahead OF Sher-
man. This excellent work is due to
the persistent efforts of Tiepke. The
vote was "A surprise To many and showed
what good work would do. In the Second
Ward, which has always been claimed for
Carroll, he did not run as well as was ex-
pected. There was a job attempted in
the Fifth, but it was not successfully car
ried out, which will when let out TO the
voters, have tendency To re-instate again
many of those who deserted the straight
Republican to join the Third party.
IL was in the third and fourth wards
whore the knitting was done, and here il
was case of Sherman's workers watch
ing Whites voters, and Whites watching
Sherman's. Ii was all on the defensive
and IL will be bitter fight before the mat
ter is settled. The heaviest voting was
from 4:30 to the closing of the press and
many were they who learned lesson at "A
previous election and yesterday were on
time. AS usual at every ward room when
the counting began there were 10 be found
large crowds who were anxious to get the
result. But all were disappointed when
the returns from each ward were figured
up for the mayor
ine number of votes cast for mayor was
4,l92, which is a big showing. As usual,
Main street square was crowded with peo-
pie last evening to get the returns, and
the crowd was large but orderly one.
At the Office of Mr.. White "A large number
gathered and discussed the days proceed
lngs between the arrival of the returns.
Dave" was in excellent humor and
figured the results as they arrived with a
calmness which has been characteristic
of him all through the contest.
The Republicans, when il was learned
that there was no election, stood firm and
said unanimously, 1--WE will not give up
the fight" IL was in the gray hours of
morning when the cocks were growing
that the newspaper men sought their
homes for a short rest. Mayor Carroll
was the last to leave and was AS pleasant
and clipper as at any ordinary greeting.
Mr.. Sherman was in excellent spirits aud
well he might be, for he deceived the best
of them by getting so large "A vote Mr.
White went home at an early hour, as he
has big Job with the aldermen to day TO
count the votes.
There are many voters who are very
much disgusted with this second election
business, and il will be hard work to cast
as large vote at the next trial. The gen
eral opinion prevails that as Sherman's
followers have succeeded in satisfying
themselves, to quite liberal extent there
may be a change at the other, which will
be ordered as soon as possible. The Re
publicans elected majority of the city
good majority.
The following is the vote in detail:
