The meeting of the board Of aldermen
last evening was interesting in more than
one way. The democrats changed the
ordinary run of things by electing from
their number two members of the board Of
finance. This alone was, enough to make
republicans feel alarmed. The second bal
lot, however, disclosed the fact that there
was bolt of one republican for the repub-
Ncan nominee only received seven of the
eight party votes and the democratic NOM
inee received sixteen, although there were
only fifteen of the democrats present. The
republicans have been wondering whether
or not that was bolt or mistake. They
say it was only mistake, but the fact that
