STEWART A SENATOR.
Elected BY a Handsome
Majority.
THE DEMOCRATS DID NOT VOTE

ALMOST EQUALLY THE DEMO |
CRATIC VOTES, WHICH WE'RE
CAST IN BOTH CITY AND |
COUNTY YESTERDAY.
There was no disturbance Of any
kind at the polls yesterday. In both |
city and county the Republicans,
united on ex-POstmaster Daniel F. |
Stewart, marched up to victory, and
the Democrats, divided by the rival
candidacy CT Thomas T. Weldin and
Peter J. Haughey, marched to defeat.
1t was such an overwhelming defeat
that it is almost useless to dabble in
figures. The vote of Pencader will
simply increase Stewards plurality and
majority.
The Prohibition vote only amounted
to twelve in the city and four out
side
There is no doubt that many dis
| gusted Democrats voted for Stewart
At no time during the day did the
Democrats expect to win. with the
party split down the middle by the
money question.
