| feated. Ten out of twelve aldermen
elected are republicans. In Saginaw
the democrats elected mayor by 46
plurality. Republicans elect the
other officers. In Bay City demo
Gratis elect recorder and only two
| of twelve aldermen. Republicans
made clean sweeps in st. Joseph, Ben
ton Harbor, Kalamazoo, Adrian, Ann
Arbor, Battle Creek, Cadillac, Big Rap
ids, Jackson. Grand Haven republic

At Muskegon the republicans made a
clean sweep. In the smaller towns and
townships the returns thus far received
also show republican gains.
