All of the candidates were the recip-
tents of many congratulations yester-
day by their friends. The defeat has
had very dispiriting effect on Demo-
Gratis, coupled with the losses sustained
in common council. 1t was expected
by the Democratic candidates for
places on the board of six that very
large vote would be poled in all of the
strong Democratic wards on account
of fierce fights for ward offices in nearly
all of them. This proved to be mis-
take. The fierce ward fights injured
rather than helped the candidates at
the head of the ticket in some wards,
while in others Democratic voters be-
came disgusted and refrained alto
gether from voting.

commercially patriotic desire to do
their duty and the vote in nearly all Of

prophets on the dav before election.
