The candidates were out bright and
early yesterday morning, marshaling their
forces for the battle of ballots. The
sun shone pleasantly and every
body felt good-much better than most of
them felt at late hour last night No
election was ever held in the city that
was quieter, and if there was either a
scrap or row or a drunk in the city no.
body observed 1t. There was no issue
sufficient to arouse any bad blood or i'll
feeling, and while the Republican cap
tured nearly all the Offices, no political
lines were drawn in the true sense of the
term. Democrats voted for Republicans
and Republicans voted for Democrats,
and as for the Alliance they were not in it
at all
The contest waxed pretty warm in the
Second ward between Dixon and Horner,
in the Third ward between Campbell and
Wilson, in the Sixth ward between John
ston and Ferries, and in the Fifth
ward between Kenyon and Mckee.
Billy johnson ran like a scared
wolf in the Third ward for the
council |. p. Campbell was pItted against
him, and while he made a hard fight, he
could not come within sight of johnson.
johnson has warm place ia the affections
Of the people of the Third ward and he is
mighty hard man to beat. His majority
over his competitor shows this.
Until about noon Dixon and Horner
were neck and neck in the Second ward,
but in the afternoon the colored troops be-
gan voting as they shot for councilman,
and Horner being Republican caught
them.
Billy Mckee made hard fight in the
Fifth ward, but the Democrats and the
Alliance fused against him, and he went
down before the odds.
In the Sixth ward nobody would give a
cent for Ferries chances when the polls
closed and it was generally conceded that
lie was beaten by over fifty votes, but when
the ballots were counted everybody was
astonished TO hear that he had beaten
Johnston by three votes.
Wilson and Campbell had very close
race in the third ward for the school
board. Wilson's stock has been pretty
high for the past week, but a local poet
entered the campaign in his behalf and
killed him. When the votes were counted
he was just eleven behind Campbell. The
high school boys, or AT least some of them,
worked for Wilson and while they made
a good deal of noise they couldn't vote
and, in consequences, were practically
TO him
A big crowd gathered at the city clerks
office last night to her the returns, which
were all IN by 10 o'clock owing to the
light vote cast. The suffragist vote did
not amount to much and it is generally
that fewer women voted in this
city yesterday than at auy time since they
were given the municipal franchise.
