For Aldermen
The results of the aldermanic cleo
ton give the democrats five out of
the seven aldermen elected, with a
possibility of six. The democrats
elect William Roth in the First, OF
course, who had no opposition; Fred
Schroeder in the Second. re-elect
Alderman Dan Carken in the
Third, elect w. c. Maucker in
the Fourth, Robert Kuschman
in the Fifth, while in the Sixth there
is reasonable ground for contest,
the outcome of which would be very
apt to be the seating of John Kan
osky. Without Mr.. Kanosky, how
ever, the democrats will seat five out
of seven of the aldermen. which with
three hold overs, gives the party eight
of the members composing the next
aldermanic body. The results of the
balloting for aldermen in the differ
emit wards is as follows:

THE ARGUS. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 5, 1898.

truly admirable. Here all his
strength was thrown at the last mo-
ment, although every ward was
worked for all it contained. and
another peculiar thing about the
Seventh is that despite the generally
prevailing feeling in the ward that
the mayor had deliberately violated
previous ante-election pledges affect
ing improvements in the locality, the
wal should continue to sustain him,
:..l>. ring the day the mayor sue
ceeded in creating the impression in
the ward that it was going against
him on this very account, he was
nevertheless at the same time pulling
the ward by such an overwhelming
ma iority as would be the sensation of
the day
In the Sixth ward the McConochie-
ties put forth their most desperate
efforts to hold their own, and while
they succeeded in holding the ward
by a scanty ajority and defeated
John Kanosky. they did so by throw
ing out ballots on which they consid-
cred there was ground for dispute,
and it is believed the final official
count will not only show Mr.. Kanos-
ky's election. but give the ward to
Mr.. Medill.
Big Vote Cast
The election brought out the heav-
lest vote ever cast in Rock Island in
Il municipal election, the total being
), 125, although the vote of the city on
president last fall was 3,l97. Two
years ago the total vote on the head
of the ticket was 2,765. The COM
plete returns at hand give Mr.. Medill
10 majority over Mr.. McConochie:
elect Mr.. Huesing city clerk by Al over
Capt. Hugh A. Mcdonald, while
for city treasurer G. +. Lynde gets
220 ma jority over j. NJ. Buford. W.
+. Schroeder is elected police magis-
trate by 173 over II. G.. Wivill. On
the township ticket F. NJ. Sinnet and
Charles Oberg are elected assist
ant supervisors over F. c. Staas-
sen and Pau Thiesen; j. II.
Cleland defeats }. r. Johnston for as

made a Sieat run for collector, snow

ed David Hawes and Harold A. Weld
justices OF the peace over Peter
Schlemmer and ii. A. Baldwin,
NbIiC T-chHtIl- SOl
tin and &. +. Evans are elected con-
stables.
The democrats therefore come out
of one of the most exciting political
strifes ever known here with flying
colors, and the splendid achievements
OF good days work. They have
elected the mayor. city clerk and
township collector, three of the most
important offices, to say nothing of
what they have done on the alder
manic ticket. The following tabula-
ton shows the returns by wards:

With ceremonies simple, but imposing
and perhaps the more imposing because 80
simple-the admin ;stration Of this great re-
public has been t, ansferred from the control
of the one great poit cal party to the other.
In the sight Of as many of the citizens of tie
country as could afford and wished 70 see
the ceremony, the chosen Chief Magistrate
of the United States took the oath of Office
and swore to be true to the trust reposed in
biul. Homage, it is true, was paid to him
and his idolized wife by the multitude, but
the acknowledgement due by him to each
individual was likewise recognized when he
grasped the hand in fellowship Of tho who
crowded about reviewing-stand when the
exercises there drew to a close.
If the weather on the first day Of bis term
gives any omen of the nature Of the admins
tration, Mr.. Cleveland is going to have
stormy time. Old inauguration campaign
ers admit that they have never seen a worse
4th Of March. Snow, wind and slush con-
spirea the carefully arranged plans. but they
were, nevertheless, carried out with the ex-
ception CT the fireworks display at night,
