CITY GOVERNMENT.
Both Boards Meet in Joint Conven.
ton Last Evening.

The Republican Caucus Candidates Elect
ed by Party vote-A Very Smooth and
Tame Affair.
There was an adjourned meeting of the
Common Council, and special meeting
of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen,
held last evening for the purpose of
electing subordinate municipal officers
for the ensuing year. There was a large
attendance as there seemed to be anfeel-
ing on the part of a good many in the
audience that the slate would be smashed
or some dire horror would occur. But
they were doomed to disappointment for
the election went off as quietly and tame
| ly as can be imagined. In voting for the
officers at the start there we're 26 ballots.
Mr.. Dunn's place was vacant and Mr..
johnson of Ward did not get in until
several candidates had been elected.
After Mr. Dunn's arrival there were 81
ballots cast of which the Republican can
| didates received Is and the Democrats
II. When the leading Offices were filed,
the minor ones were grouped and thrown
on one ballot. The Office of city cleo
trician was passed for the present and
also that of assistant assessor for Ward 5
Mr.. Stephen Marsh declining the posi-
ton. Mr.. E. G. Jordan declined to be
considered candidate for city engineer
as against Mr.. Fernald, the Republican
nominee. The usual committees were
appointed to receive, sort and count
votes. The Democratic list of candidates
was that of last year with the exception
of Virgil G. Wilson for clerk in place of
John S. Russell. !
The two boards met in their respective
rooms and then went into joint conven-
ton. After electing the officers the con-
vention dissolved. The Board of Alder
men accepted the bonds of Stephen D.
Hall, Howard F. Hall, A. B. Brown,
Eben N. Perry, W. E. Bickford and Fl.
R. Sargent as constables. They also
passed an order that the rules and orders
of the last CITY Council be the rules and

otherwise ordered. ~
