IN THE ANNEXED DISTRICT.
POLITICS REPLACED WITH ENTERTAINMENTS
ALDERMEN IN A FARCE.


Annexed District residents who had been stirred up by
The llveiest political contest which the district has
known. Commissioner Plrroy spent some tlinc IN
explaining his defeat, but the vlctors wasted little
energy on reioicncs Two or three old fashioned
election bets paid by the vctors riding In wheel
barrows rolled by unsuccessful betors but there was
little excitement among the spectators. who simply
wondered at the folly wagcrs which cost the winners
so much discomfort. Commissioner Helntz has been
busy in awarding contracts, most OF when arc Ior
small amounts but which in the aggregate provide
for considerable addition to the comfort and health
Of the residents OF the district.
The certificates filed with the County Clerk show
that the political candidates beyond the Harlem were
liberal in their expenditures. William G. McCrea,
the Union candidate for Civil Justice spent nearly
years salary of his Office, and some OF the DINER
candidates will receive little pecuniary benefit from
their election The Purr0y candidates do not report
so large personal expenditures but they had large
fund TO draw from contributed through the local
organization.
