The superintendents of the Gas
Works.
(Communicated)

In looking over the names OF eandi-
dates for Superintendent Of the city Gas
Works to oh the vacancy occasioned by
the death Of the lamented Adams l see
that OF Mr. Alexander Delaney, and from
an intimate acquaintance with him from
nv childhood, and a knowledge OF tbs
history OF the management Of our gas
works from their inception until the
present time. 1 do not hesitate to say
that he could, in my Judgment, bring
10 the position qualifications equal 10
those possessed by any former superin-
tendent at the time Of his entrance upon
the duties Of the office.
Mr. Delaney Is a skilled mechanic and
engineer, and probably as well up on
general science as any man In this com
munity. II was under his superintend'
ence that the massive and ornamental.
triple-columned holder and other portions
OF the machinery at tho gaS-works IN
Rockets were built, the holder being
equal In design and finish TO any In the
United States. and In view OF the fact
that large and expensive additions must
I'm the near future be made 10 our gas
plant Mr.. Delaney's engineering skill
would be most valuable.
Besides the attributes above set forth
Mr. Delaney Is a man OF thorough inte-
gritty and firmness, but exceedingly popu-
lar with his employees. He Is ever mo-
dest I'm setting forth his own qualihca-
lions. and hence | write this without his
knowledge. and the first lntimation he
will have OF Il will be when he sees II In
print ] trust his election by the CITY
Council will be well-ngh unanimous. IL
is most fortunate that his services are
al this time available. MONitOh'

r. III. Day at the eleventh hour. and W.
A. Glasgow, chairman OF the Democratic

the Judges that the tickets with Major
DAYS name written on them should be
counted. The vote stood: Fox and Guy

In the Second Ward the Republicans
ran only one candidate. and though they

A WITHDRAWAL.

A singular feature Of the contest was
the withdrawal from IL OF l.. $. Robin
son Democrat, who was candidate for
reelection to the Office Of Common
wealth's Attorney. Ii was generally UNI
derstood that he would remain IN the
field, but just as the voting began this
morning his retirement was announced.
He assigns as his reason for withdrawal
at he eleventh hour that all the new
judges and special constabes were
against him.
The election was one OF the quietest
ever held In the county, Notwithstanding
the disturbing reports that had been cir
cuiated regarding a clssh between con-
testing judges. The result Will not be
determined until tomorrow morning.
II is likely that the election Will be
nullhed. because Of the injunction against
the judges and the absence Of the regis
tratlon-books from Precinct No. 1. Should
this be done, the county officers will be
appointed by Judge Peek.
