charter election in Jersey City to-day was
bitterly contested by both sides. The
majority for a term of five years was at
stake and this under the present city charter
means absolute control for the party in
pow CT. DIX ueIOcEatlc aldermen, 1Dclu0-
ing President Charles w. Allen, who is
elected at large. hold over with
one republican city father. The can
ddates for mayor were as follows:
a Hen l.. McDermo0e, democrat; p. Farmer
Wanser, republican; Z. T. Mclaughlin, in
dependent democrat; William Meinser, So
cialistic labor; Richard Grant, prohibi-
ZIONIST. The race admittedly lay betwe cen
McDermott and Wanser. McDermott was
backed by the entire forces OF the city gov
ernment and its weight Of patronage. The
republicans went in to win and the
result was the most exciting canvass
witnessed in Jersey City for many
years. The result has been surprise to
the democrats. Wanser in undoubtedly
elected and the republicans have probably
elected five out OF the six aldermen. The
incoming board Of aldermen will consist OF
seven democrats and ak republicans. Mayor
elect Wanser win resume office on May |.

bent will appoint successors
to the various city officers
whose terms expire April 25 These in
clude two members OF the board of finance,
two street and water commissioners aud a
fire commissioner and q police comm s.
sioner. The democrats will thus retain
control of the city government during the
first year. at least, of the incoming re-
publican mayors term.
