The refunding loan ordinance special
election occurred Saturday and resulted
in the defeat of the ordinance by a
majority of $50, and 7Ol less than the
required three-fifths OF the votes cast,
which numbered 1888, a very small vote,
not one-half of the number usually cast
at municipal elections,
Now that the election has passed and
the ordinance is defeated, some of Its
staunchest supporters admit that they
saw defeat In the air several days be-
fore, While the Democratic organ was
engaged in making a partisan issue OF a
purely business proposition and the
party's workers were taking up the
cue, the Republican organization de-
clined to champion the ordinance and
make the special election a test of
party strength, To the natural oppo-
sltIon to the refund. made up OF both
Republicans and Democrats, was added
the Democratic vote that is controlled
on all occasions by the party workers.
men who do not vote unless they are
brought to the polls by the workers.
On the other hand, the ordinance stood
on Its merits alone, and the Republican
organization took no part in the con-
test, Even In the face OF defeat for the
refund, 1t is believed by many that
three-tifths of the voters of the city
favor this method of arranging the
clty's finances. The trouble was that
the refunds strength didn't materiallze
at the polls, This Ia shown in the
small vote that was cast. 1888, less
than one-half Of the vote usual at NIL
nicipal elections.
One OF the arguments used by the
workers against the refund-all OF
them, almost without exception, Dem
ocrats-was that II the refund was
beaten, the Democrats would be as
sured a victory at the next regular city
election. This was sufficient to bring
out votes for the opposition to the re-
fund that would otherwise have re-
manned at home. BY what Of
reasoning the workers arrived at their
conclusion Is not known.
1t was feared by the advocates OF the
refund that the First and Eighth wards
would give big ma1orlties against the
ordinance, but this fear was not realiz-
ed when the returns came In. True,
both wards mentioned gave majoritIes
against the ordinance, but IN neither
was 1t large, amounting to oRlv eleven
in the Eighth and forty-seNen in the
First. The Seventh ward went seventy
one for the ordinance. not quite three
lfths: the Second gave the refund a
majority of six votes. In the other
wards the ordinance was in the minor
ity, being showed Under Ia the Fourth
Fifth and Sixth. while the Third gave
twenty-five majority.
The vote in detail is given In the
following table:
