EIGHTH WARD.

The day was horrible one for an
election. the mercury being very low
from morning until night. and as a re-
suit a great many voters of both par
ties refused TO leave their homes TO
vote. The total vote cast is less than
5000 Up to noon there was not over
halt the total voting strength out in
some of the precincts and the candi-
dates and their friends were in des-
pair They buckled down TO business.
however. during the afternoon, ran
the hacks all they were worth, and IN
the end got q tolerably fair total Dem
ocrats suffered their fun share of the
loss. however. and in the fifth ward
along eighty-twO Democratic voters
failed 10 exercise the franchise. Had
they done so. the result might have
been very difficult despite Republican
money.
As was forcshadowed in the Regis
ter there was some fearful and Won
derful trading on the part OF Republic
can candidates for Council and those
who hoped TO become nominees Of the
Republican caucus. and the result is
shown i'm a comparison of the vote.
Butts was traded off in every ward in
the city, and for time, last night.
it looked as though his majority would
not be over a couple of hundred. IL
was the heavy vote in the Eighth ward
which finally gave him a respectable
majority over Healy McNiChOl ran
strong ON the Island. as everybody eN-
pected but Chief Bennett made up for
ir i'm the city. particularly in the Sec
Ond and Third wards Watkins and
NOrrinetCu pClled just about the ma
i0rity close observers thought they
would obtain. Chief Bennett was the
only Republican who obtained a ma
i0ritv i'm the Sixth ward. and there his
margin was very narrow. All honor
to the Sixth ward Democrats, as well
as those of the Fourth. They dlC
nobly. and Will have their reward III the
future.
As will bc seen from an inspection OF
the returns the Democrats elect ten
members of Council. four in the Fourth
ward and six i'm the Sixth. This Will
give the Democrats eight members IN
tine Second Branch. as against but two
I'm the old Council, a gain OF six mem
hers. In the First Branch but one
lone Democrat held over. The party
elects two. making total OF three. OUT
] of sixteen. as again five in the old
Council. The net result will be eleven
Democrats on joint ballot in Council,
as against seven in the old Council,
gain of four. There is a big kick
among the Republicans over the result
i'm the Sixth ward, it being charged that
Republican money and workers were
diverted from the Sixth to the Fifth.
and the ALLEGATION is that this was
done deliberately to kill off E. P.
Wheat's candidacy for City Collector,
before the Republican Council We
will probably hear more about this later
on.
