The Agency
Adjourned Election in Ward 8.

An adjourned election will be held in
Ward today for two councilmen, the
warden insisting that there has been no
election. The polls will be opened at 8
o'clock and closed at 5. This election is
of no sort of consequence, and it is hard
~ worth while for Republicans to put
themselves out to attend it. AS the rum
shop in the street commissioners office
will be open as usual thirsty Democrats
should attend. Mr.. Peter Daley will un-
doubtedly be on hand to direct the faith
full how to vote and where to drink, and
City Marshal SWEET will, no doubt,
guard the count to make sure that it is
fair. Wards and will send a large
delegation to protect the approaches to
the rum shop and ward room.

cilmen-The Democrats Fire Statutes
The Unterrified Burn Bonfires at
Gorham's Corner,
The election in Ward yesterday was
a repetition of the scenes OF Monday.
Rum was used by the Democrats with
great lavishness. Between one and SIX
o'clock yesterday afternoon sixty-nine
men with bottles were counted passing
down the alleyway opposite the head OF
Chestnut street. The vote thrown was
veay large, and the greatest interest was
manifested. When it came to the count
ing of the votes the Democratic warden
and his clerk did it without Republican
assistance, although the ward clerks
were not ordered without the rail.
When the election of Tolman for
alderman was declared, the Demo-
Gratis rushed out with loud cheers
and yells and began a salute from small
cannon placed in front of City hall. Here
they gathered crowd of the faithful
and kept up the firing for some time
when they dragged the gun up with loud
shouts. the rattle of rattles and ringing
of COW bells to Congress square where
they woke the welkin a second time. In
the meantime, the news had reached
Gorham's Corner and that historic spot
was soon ablaze. A huge bonfire was
lighted and a high old time resulted
Crowds of men srrged UP and down
Congress street 'hooping'er up for all
they were worth, and one great double
sleigh draw by pair of buekskin horses
dashed madly. through the street, filed
with men as s'full as tick yelling and
screaming and ringing bells. Horns were
blown in answer and some slight resem-
blance to Washington's birthday celebra-
ton ensued.
But the warden of Ward 8, after ne
had declared Tolman elected proceeded
to count the vote for two councilmen. In
declaring the count he, stated there had
been no election and adjourned the meet
ing to 9 O'Clock this morning for another
trial. Considering all the councilmen
had been elected Monday, and that many
Republicans convinced of that fact had
refused to vote again yesterday, even I'm.
der protest as others did, the vote as de-
clared showed fifty blanks. This was
the vote for alderman and councilmen:
| Whole number of ballots, 1172,
| Alderman-Rounds, Rep. $50; Tolman, Dem
| sos; Skillings, Pro- 8; blanks, 13.
| Whole number of ballots, 1172.

The City Council.
The election of Mr.. Tolman makes the
new board of aldermen stand Demo-
Gratis to Republicans. The council
stands, outside of Messrs. Lefavor and
Kent of Ward 3, ten to nine in favor of
the Republicans. Those two men will
carry the balance of power. They were
legally elected, and we believe that they
will be seated. In such case the city
government in joint ballot will stand 10
to IS in favor of the Republicans.
