THE ELECTION.
A Light Vote and Mixed Result.

Election day was ushered in with a
heavy rain which had the usual effect
upon the two parties contending for
tie control Of the municipality of
Martinsburg. Democrats were reju-
venated and Republicans depressed.
1t had been remarkably quiet CAM
paign and the Iepose was not ruffled
by even one exciting incident during
the day.
Interest centered most in the odd
numbered wards. In the First ward,
Mr.. John w. Martin, who had been
several times before elected in spite OF
the large Democratic majority therein,
was opposed by several Republicans
who imagined that they had griev-
anee. These supersensitive individ-
uals handled their little knives to
their hearts content and succeeded in
manufacturing majority of one for
Proctor on the face of the returns. 1t
is to be hoped they are supremacy
happy. AS the ward gave IS Demo-
cratic majority last fall, the result
shows the immence influence of those
gentlemen.
The Third which returned IS Demo-
cratic majority last November was cut
to -, which, considering the popular
ity OF Mr.. Gardner among the young
Republicans, was magnificent run
The Fifth with its large Republican
was all broken up. Party
lines were totally obliterated and
cross firing was the order of the day.
Mr.. Little's majority of 7 was full as
much as the most sanguine expected.
The Second and Fourth were solid
as usual A light vote in the Second
reduced the majority somewhat, but
the Fourth made a gain of about 10
votes.
While the majority in the city is
much less than that secured last year
it is nearly equal to that given in No
Vember and indicates that the old
burg is solidly Republican.
Following is the vote in detail:
FIRST WARD.

1 year, 1 months.
Oh! where is our darling little Bessie so
fair,
Who once filled our hearts full of joy

But there cometh time in the sweet by

When we will meet our sweet little
Bessie up there.
