specisI TO THE MORNING CALL

EIMIRA, \. Y, March 1.-The charter
election held here to-day was warm one.
The result is a complete victory for the Re
publican citizens ticket and the overthrow
Of the corrupt ring which has held
this city In bondage for the past twenty
years under Democratic administration.
The Dem ocratic faction of the party which
is in accord with Hill and his doctrines has
suffered a great defeat, and the Senator will
undoubtedly wish that he had not put his
hand in the political contest as he
did upon his last visit to
his home here. The successful
candidate for Mayor is d. G. Robinson, son
of the late Ex-Governor Lucius Robinson,
who got an unprecedented majority IN 1876.
His opponent was Frederick Collin, a brother
OF Senator Hilfs attorney. The Re-
publicans and the citizens have
also succeeded in Wrestling away from
the corrupt Democratic ring the con-
troi OF tie Common Council. The entire
AlhanyHill contingent was here ana re-
sorted TO the most dastardly and corrupt
practices for the maintenance OF their
power The Board of Supervisors In Che
mung County, OF which this city is the
county seat, viii probably be Republican.
NEWBURGH, March l. Orange County
to-day elected Republican Board of Super
V!sOrs for tie first time in thirteen years.
The Republicans also elect Charles j. Law
sen Mayer. aud the entire Republican city
ticket by a majority Of over 600, including
the control Of the board.
The election to-day is a complete turn
over. Fred Collins was Democratic nomi-
Ice for Mayor, AMI David Robinson,
son OF Ldcius Robinson, nominee OF
tie Republicans and Independents. The
result was an overwhelming defeat Of
Of Robinson. Tonight although the snow
is nearly two feet in depth, men are
marching with horns and celebrating the
Victory.
