RING WINS AT BRUNSWICK.
Good Government Ticket Defeated
by the Administration Faction.

Brunswick, Ca, Dec 1.-THE admins
tration ticket won to-day's aldermanic con-
test by an average majority of 1873. 1t was
the hardest fought contest in years The
administration forces had not counted on
such organization and work as confronted
them, and the Good Government men sur
prised the public by their strength
Judge John Lehman, manager of the ad-
ministration campaign, is the happiest
man in Brunswick tonight. His fol-
lowers are holding levees around him and
extending congratulations on his success
full generalship. Brunswick is being
painted red by the administration follow
ers. OF the result Judge Lehman says
1t indicates the people are satisfied with
the administration and want no reform
ers. We never anticipated anything but
victory, and are thoroughly satisfied. The
organization, management and hard work
of the other side was better than we count
ed on, but our majority is all right any
how. They will neved touch us again.
sF. E. Twitty, prominent amongst the
Good Government leaders, says: 1.-The
vote against the administration under the
circumstances amounts to a notice thas
their days are numbered. One year ago
the vote was more than four to one in
favor of the ring. Heretofore they have
been considered impregnable. Those who
opposed them dared not speak their con.
victions and any kind of opposition to
them meant oppression. To-day only the
office holders and those directly benefit
ted by special favoritism dare to uphold
them. There were upon the registration
list more than 300 names of persons who
paid no taxes last year. These largely
supported the ring. There is no question
in my mind but that the majority Of
qualified voters voted our ticket. The
county election in 1898 will witness the
final overthrow of the powers that have
so long ruled with blighting hand in this
city and county. Not until this is ac-
comphshed will Brunswick experience
commercial prosperity or gain the COM
mercial worlds confidence"
