Al ? o'clock when the polls closed, there was
comnlete nystifcation about the result, but there
was an uneasy feeling noticeable at the Demo
cratic Headquarters and the feeling grew as the
evening waned The first returns from the votlng
nrecincts came in at S AS. Previous TO that
time crowds began to gather at the newspaper
offices and waited mpatiently for the news.
The returns of tic election came in slowly and

crowds surrounded the newspaper Offices, cheering

I'm to IL 80 O'Clock there were only scattering
returns from the remaining wards, but these gave
"a chill TO the Democratic leaders at their head
ouarters. for they showed an almost unvarylng
Republican gain. The Sixth and Thirteenth, the
German wards, had been confidently expected to
give HAYNES 1000 majority. In nearly every
voting precinct there a Republican gain.
The returns for Alderman were largely watched.
At midnight the Thirteenth ward was in doupt,
and without il the Council stood tie. The later
returns from the strong Democratic Fifteenth, ana
the Hill wards cut down the gain of the Repub-
Icans and when they were received at Republican
beadouaters an estimate made, giving Haynes
between 200 and 400 plurality.
The Independent Democratic vote was a
great disappointment, amounting only to about 3oo
in tho whole city. The Democratic vote
WAS abnormal in wards that have been NOTORIOUS
