Boston, Dec. 10-With the IL NUM-
cipal elections which occurred in various
parts of the state, today, all the cities have
chosen governing bodies for 1.-THE ensuing
year, except the new city of North Adams,
whose election will take place, Tuesday.
In nearly all instances heavy vote was
cast, today, and there were many sur
prises.
In Boston hot contest was waged be-
tween the partisans of Josiah Quincy,
Democratic nominee for mayor, and Ed
win U. Curtis, the present Republican in
cumbent. Boston again falls into the line
of Democratic cities by plurality of
about 400 for Quincy, against plurality
of ~ for Curtis, in 1894
Several cases of illegal voting were re-
ported here, today, and three arrests at
least. One of the three men arrested at
tempted to vote upon another's name. and
had in his possession an official ballot, al
though he had not been inside the rail or
been given ballot by the precinct Off
GERS The ballot commissioners will
thoroughly investigate the case.
This was the first election under Bos-
toms new city charter, which was secured
largely through the exertions of Mayor
Curtis, and the mayor elected, today, and
those chosen hereafter will hold Office for
two years instead of one.
There were three tickets for aldermen :;
Republican, Democratic and Municipal
Reform, the latter being fusion of Pro
hibitionists Labor, Populists and Social
lists, and in several cases the fight between
the rival candidates was sharp and bitter.
The nominees for the common council
were, as rule, straight Republican or
Democratic, but the nominees for school
board had varied endorsements, the
Republican candidates being generally
favored by the committee of 100 and In
dependent women voters while the latter
supported one candidate.
Returns from all precincts give:
Quincy 4O,316; Curtis, IS, $40, Parsons,
municipal Reform), estimated at 1900.
Quincy's plurality, 1876.
The board of aldermen will stand
Seven Democrats, five Republicans a
Democratic gain of two The common
council will comprise As Democrats, 30
Republicans, Democratic gain of three.
The personnel of the school board will
not be known definitely until very late,
but it is believed that four Republicans and
four Democrats are elected. The city
voted strongly for license.
