The city election yesterday was a
magnificent Republican victory. The
combination Of all the anti-Republi-
can forces was defeated by majorities
ranging from 70 to 255, showing how
heartily the people were with the Re-
publicans in the contest. The Repub-
lican ticket was elected from top to
bottom with one exception and with
the mayoralty in doubt.
On the face OF the unofficial returns
Mr.. Folk has majority Of one vote.
There are, however, many irregular
tiles in the vote counting known to
have occurred and challenged Folk
votes were sworn in under such cir
cumstances as to give abundant
ground for contest. In the Third
ward alone two votes were challenged
on ground OF insufficient residence
based upon the strongest kind Of
proof. In case Of a contest these will
be brought up. There are many de-
fective ballots passed on by the

rated by the Pop gang in order to
elect Smith. Besides that George
Rohrer had just one candidate and
that was Folk. Rice and the rest
were his tools in working for him but
they did not know it.
The Pops mercilessly slaughtered
Gary, the colored candidate, and
traded him in every direction as
they did Henry Gish and A. s. David
son, all being on that ticket for the
purpose. They bent every effort to
elect Smith marshal and failed mis-
erably, he being next to the lowest
man on the ticket. There was good
deal Of quiet work done to elect
Cramer councilman in the Fourth
ward but the fact that he is Hallam's
employe settled that. 1t is probable
that Folk was strengthened greatly by
Hallam's and Matteson's opposition to
him. The town is just about done
with their rule.
The hardest fight on council was in
the Second ward where A. W. Rice
has been working night and day for
two or three weeks to be elected
councilman. The facts that after a
lifelong adherence to prohibition and
Republicanism he joined hands with
George Rohrer and the Populists in
hopes Of winning, that it was sus-
pected that he might have personal
and Interior motive in getting on the
council, that there was general
"tired feeling" in seeing him run for
city office every election and because
it was felt that there was a scheme in
his candidacy, he was turned down
with great unanimity. H. E. Ellison
is young man of brains, integrity
and ability and will be valuable
man on the council.
j. M. Gleissner was the only nom
partisan elected, he defeating F. B.
Bearce for school board. Mr.. Gleiss-
ner made quiet but close canvass
and his personal popularity greatly
aided him. The contest was entirely
good natured and Mr.. Gleissner will
make capable and worthy member
Of the board.
The result OF the election Is highly
gratifying to the Republicans and is a
credit to the city Of Abilene. The
detailed vote will be found in the ia
BILE in another column.

Pittsburg, Jan. mime Cuban refu-
gees-John Davis. his wife and seven
children-left here yesterday morning
for indianapolis, en- route to Denver,
their former home. They are destitute,
and are being helped along by several
railroads. Davis, who is a mining en-
gineer and expert accountant, was in
1894 appointed receiver of the Buena
Vista plantation in Cuba, which COM
prised about 1850 acres and is twenty
seven miles from Havana. Shortly aft
er General Weyler issued orders to de-
stroy all crops the Buena Vista planta-
tion blaZed for three days and nights.
Davis then went to Havana and sought
transportation to the states from the
son of General Lee, who was acting
consul.
He received no satisfaction, and was
compelled to appeal to General Weyler.

ily's transportation TO Tampa, Fla. Da-

atrocities, but had never seen any

agree on q candidate for the cabinet to
be recommended to President-elect Nc

Representative Johnson, after the con-
ference, said that the man pre-emi-

Davis of San Francisco, who had
served two terms in congress and who
was ex-president of the California State
university. Mr. Johnson, however.
feared that other candidates might
come forward and the contest become
so bitter as to lose the state the honor.

or without the knowledge Of President
Schneider. The home from which he
was missed is situated on Greenwood
boulevard in Evanston, and was erect
ed five years ago. 1t cost no less than
100000 and some of the recent adverse
criticism was based on the current alle-
cations that Ii represented some OF his
improper gains When Mr.. Hammond
was ready TO build his present home,
he paid r. d. Shepard, the business
agent Of the Northwestern university,
the highest price for the lot ever paid
in Evanston. This was 5000 a foot and
made the total valuation Of his home

been augmented by the purchase of $3,-
