THE ELECTION.

1lIG lIlllIO llV1Ns
Election is over, and Mayor
Brown will continue to manipulate
the City Government for two years
more
Mr.. Slater carried the Second,
Third and Fourth Wards, but was
defeated in the First; the total
vote in the city being: Slater 1850,
and Brown 1876. Mr.. Browns
Majority, III.
John ] Welsh was reelected
Councilman in the First Ward,
and Cornelius Kevitt will reprent
the west end of the Third.
John Hamilton was elected
Councilman in the Fourth Ward,
and Sylvester Post School Trustee
Peter Reid and Moses E. Wor-
then were elected Surveyors OF the
Highways.
Louis B. Cowdrey, w. A. Bogart,
and George DeGroot were elected
Justices of the Peace in the Second
Ward
Mr.. Cowdrey is an intelligent,
enterprising young man and will,
we believe, do credit to himself in
his new role
Councilman Roscoe has been a
valuable member of the CityCoun-
ell and his re e-e1ection is conceded
as the proper thing.
According to the WsuS, several
citizens were enthusiastic enough
to bet on the result, and it is said
considerable money changed
hands during the past few days.
In oily sentences, with view to
winning the good graces of the
Slater people, the Nezos endeavors
to infuse the idea that it took no
part in the recent contest" Such
pretences are as thin as spiders S
web, and as easily seen through.
Poor, misguided Denny, he did
so much lying during the cam
paign that he couldn't stop on the
day of election, but overhoWed into
the day after His comment on a
proposed election extra of the
RECORD. which existed only III
Denny's distorted brain, is excus .
able from the fact that he probably
had not yet recovered from
the effects of Election Day imbib-
ing.
Interested citizens will watch
with interest for the promised i'm
provements in Mayor Brown S
methods during the next two years.
If he is the big hearted /" gentle
men that his paper claims him to
be he will not continue
to turn nine-tenths of the city
patronage into his own lap. A
olive and let live" policy always
pays.
We read a great deal in theNeacs
about money lost in the election by
Slater men. Were the constituents
of the Neaps forewarned of the
sentiments Of the people sufficient
ly to risk no money on their man I
Yes, Mayor Brown is reelected;
but how, and by whom The
people of his own Ward and the
Second and Fourth Wards express
sed themselves as opposed to him
in an unmistakable manner, and the
fact that he was elected by
the First Ward alone is nothing to
crow over. Even in the First
Ward one-third of the voters were
for Slater. Under the circumstances
Mr.. Slater's defeat is preferable to
Mayor Browns election.
The unscrupulous campaign
methods resorted to, the defama-
tions and perversions INDUCED in,
did not weaken the faith of the
people in the excellent candidate
placed before our readers six
weeks ago.
He was the choice of the people
of the three best Wards of the
city. Mr.. Skaters character is with
out blem1sh and the fierce contest
which led up to and eliminated at
the polls on Tuesday did not mark
him as having committed one act
that would lessen him in the es-
TEEN of respectable people.
In view of the fact that Passaic
has good German newspaper was
it not an outrage on its anglo-saxon
readers for Mayor Brown sNszes to
publish on Monday nearly column
laudatory of himself without al,

ing column' 7
