The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1892-11-10
HOW ELLERT WON.

The Vote Shows That Martin Kelly
Knitted Easton.
1t was q cold day for Kelly and Grim
Minis.
The Third-street bosses are knocked
out and will go into retirement.
Mike de Young will drop into seclusion
with Martin Kelly.
So far as can be learned at late hour
Ebert Is elected Mayor almost beyond the
shadow of a doubt. and Scott has the best
of ths fight for Sheriff.
O'Donnell is running q close second to
Ebert but as the complete returns come in,
the Nom Partisan candidate for Mayor is
gaining ground.
Baldwin. as was predicted In THE CALL
some days ago. lie third in the race, and
Easton is leading McMann by q small
plurality.
Easton was simply not in the fight at any
stage Of the game, and everything goes TO
show that he was slaughtered in the house
OF his friends.
In the Twenty-eighth and Thirtieth dis
tricts, which are tho strongholds of Kelly
and Crimmins. Easton was given the knife
numerically and ODonnell was boosted
out of sight.
In the Twenty-eighth Assembly District.
home, EastOh had the life cut out Of him,
and the vote was evidently given to ODon-
nell.
The vote of the district omplete stands:
Baldwin 1885, Ebert 3S2, Easton $40, O'Don-
nell 1853.
These figures tell the tale. They mean
simply that the orders sent out from Third
street to cut Easton and vote for O'Donnell
were carried out
1t was case Of revenge because Ellert
had refused to obey their orders in the
Board Of Supervisors, and had dared to be
honest at their expense.
| All over the section of this city where such
| men as "Split-lip" Collins, "Chippy" Gal
lagher and "Slob" Brown make their
haunts Ebert was cut and O'Donnel showed
along.
Can any one doubt the cause Of 1t for q
single moment?
In the Western Addition. however, there
was another tale to tell. O'Donnell was
not In the race. and Ebert headed him at
least ten to one on an average.
There was but one conclusion to draw
from this and that was that the good people
who live west of Powell street saw the
danger and went to the rescue. They real
lied fully the terrible disgrace which would
arise from the election of such q man as
ODonnell to tho chief magistracy and they
went for him with broadswords instead Of
knives. They simply slaughtered him from
start to finish, and with rare good judgment
cast their ballots for the only man who had
the slightest show to win.
| In every precinct wnere the better class
OF people have their homes Ebert swept
| everything before him. and to that fact
alone he will owe his election.
In the Mission, too, Ebert seems to have
had 1t pretty much his own way and pre-
clnct after precinct showed q substantial
| plurality for him.
SCOTS tight Tor Sheriff is slightly involved
In doubt, but the prospects for his success
are very favorable. He ran close to E,lert

/ Scott
10 spite of all that. however, the chances
seem TO be largely 10 his favor, and he bids
fair to outrun McDade, with Biattper
bringing up the rear.
| At midnight Carrot McEnerney, who is
