Stood the Stalwart Democracy
Of Fort Worth
AND ALL THE TICKET BUT ONE
Crosses the River Of Victory by Good
Malcrilies.
Elser and Caldwell Close Tor First Place.
Major Clements Defeated In The Sixth
Ward by a Republioan.Pop-
ulIsl Combination.
AND ALL THE TICKET BUT ONE

The charter elections are over and
/ except In the Sixth ward where the
! Democratic candidate for alderman was
! defeated, not one Of the opposition was
| elected. The one successful candidate
/ of the opponents Of Democracy was =.
/ g. Drake the present alderman from
/ the Sixth ward, who was reelected
On the city ticket proper there was
not one who had the chance Of q DEFEAT
and the closest vote WAS that Of Maddox
aud Durruh for MaddOI's majority Is
/ only about 800.
This resulted from scratching done by
Democratic voters.
The vote was very light only about
60 per cent Of the total vote Of the city
being pOlled but Of this the combined op
position 10 the Democratic party poHed
It's full strength as a study of tie vote
shows, the falling Oh being almost en-
tircly I'm the Democratic vote.
The weather was perfect but warm
and was the most perfectly quiet and or
derry election ever held Ia the city.
A few challenged votes, not any dis
| order of any kind, light vote aud
q minimum of interest tells the story OF
the day.
In the First ward 400 votes were poll
"a when the ward should vote over 100
This IL about a fair sample of the voting
throughout thc city
The great fight was over the city mar
shall, though no competent judge esti-
mated MnddOx's majority ut less than
800. Al the opposition, active, or that
OF indifference merely, was brought to
bear on the Democratic nominee, but
this opposition cOmbued with the per-
sOnal popularity of his very worthN
young opponent. r. X. Dnrruh, who was
much stronger than his cause, could
q 80 Hul
In the race for aldermen there were no
contests, except IN the Third, Sixth and
Seventh.
In the Third. two Democrats ran, 3.
Il. Wallis and Alex CuntO, and the for
NOR was successful by majority Of 10.
The uldcrmnnic contest In the Sixth
ward was earnest, even bitter and was
fought with every weapon known 10
political warfare. Here, too. the margin
Of the victor was narrow, but II votes,
and the victory Is due 10 the rocreaucy
of those styling themselves Democrats.
The next greatest fight was in the
Seventh wnrd. and the reelection Of
Alderman liller over John l.. Duff by the
decisive vote Of ll9 ont of total Of
lSi h deserved compliment To one
who has been faithful to the city aud to
his constituents,
The other two aldermnnic contests.
were too une-dded to be of interest
The total vote cast was $500 and the
vote Of the various candidates IS given
