THE BOROUGH ELECTION.


 The borough election on Monday show. ed about 150 republican majority. There was only one ticket in the field until the last half hour before closing the polls. At that late hour citizens ticket show ed up and about B votes cast. The tick ct was gotten up by few sore headed republicans and few democrats, all from the West Side. The ticket was headed with E. N. Pillow for warden. He had declined the regular democratic nomination. He was mad because they had used his name on the other ticket without his consent. The tickets had been printed in Danbury to keep the mat ter quiet until the last minute with the expectation of catching the members of the regular ticket mapping. The matter leaked out in time to save the election. Last year only 43 votes was cast for war den. The following persons were declar- ed elected: Warden, George H. Hickok clerk, Howard s. Gilbert; burgesses for two years. Frank A. Judd, John M. Sig nor; burgesses for one year, Granville A. Durant, Samuel G.. Morrison; treas urer, Howard H. Woodman; bailiff, Frank L. Benedict; registrars of voters, Mervin A. Banks, John F. Wixted; audi tors, Leroy A. Hickok, Leonard D. Judd assessors, Frederick E. Benedict, Ammon Green, Aaron H. Dimond.
