CARBONDALE.
PLuRAL1TIEs INCREASE.
Democrats Scoop City ofhcees by
Surprisingly Large Margins.

the districts heard from had gone so
decidedly Democratic that the Repub-
licans conceded the election Of Hansen
and Mofiitt. The complete vote, how
ever. shows that Mohitt. n, was de-
feated by Bate, Il. The Republicans
are eratiied at having saved two out or
the three assessors as many property
owners consider the office of assessor
quite as important as any in the city.
Mayor elect j. w. Kilpatrick's plu-
rality is 2l9: Controller-elect j, T.
wheelers is 3j4, and Treasurer-elect +.
L. Connor's is 229. These pluralities
are the largest given any candidates IN
nearly twenty years.
While the Democrats will hold the
executive office for the next three years
the Republicans will be in possession of
the legislative branch OF the city gov
ernment. In common council they have
gained one. making the complexion
to 3 in their favor. The select branch
stands unchanged-fou Republicans
and two Democrats.
The treasurer and controller having
been reelected no change will occur
in those offices and as far as the dis
charging of their trusts is concerned.
no change is desired as all admit they
In another month Hon, James O'Neill
will step out of the pleasant tower room
of the city building to make room for
Mr.. Fitzpatrick. The mayor-elect is u
man of great activity and executive
force and whatever he undertakes will
be pushed with vim. That much the
citizens may feel sure Of.

Evans are fairly secure, but city Clerk
Clifford may be replaced unless his
most efficient and accommodating rec
ord shall commend him to the favor of
the dominant party in councils.
