John Russell Young were contestants
was brought to close last night by tn,
election Of Mr.. Young by vote Of 6OC
against 475 for Mr.. Michener.
When the contest started there
were dozen men in 1t, but il
quickly narrowed down TO a

ably. There seemed to be many who
were not only unwilling to censure those
who had voted for Cleveland but who
were sorry they had not been equally
brave and equally true to their convic
tions. The next incident was that of a
motion to give banquet to President
Harrison. This caused wild excitement
and was rescued from oblivion by a
characteristic speech of General Wagner.
He said:
Mr.. President, we cannot afford to de,
feat that motion, coming from where
II does. Mr.. Mcclure is one Of the men
who were largely instrumental in bring.

the defeat of Mr.. Harrison. II was Of
