representatives. Of the Sixteenth ward.
The vote for aldermen as compared
with the city tickets shows surprising
and apparently inconsistent results. For
instance, the Democratic city ticket car
red the Fourth comfortably. but two
RCPuhlICanS were elected to the council
from that ward. The Democrats ear
ricd the Eighteenth ward by $50, hut
the Democratic nominees for aldermen
received the closest call Democrats have
ever had IN that ward, while the Re
publican nominee for supervisor pulled
through. Both aldermen from the Sixth
ward are Republican, but the supervisor
IS Il Democrat. Great interest was man
ifcstrd in the Eleventh ward. Rudolph
tRep.. who had ongeHdcrcd much oppoSi-
tiom because Of his policy during the
smallpox cpId mic, was returned To the
council by the bare majority of 81 as
against 600 two years ago.
