1t. The finances Of the city will have
immediate attention and we must try to
adjust In an honorable and business like
manner our relations to the state.
"Whils not indifferent to the personal
tribute which this victory brings to me
after o most remarkable campaign In
which my Official acts have been scruti-
nized In an unprecedented manner, and
which I think have been misrepresented
to an unjusfifiable extent, Jet feel that
really the victory belongs not 20 much to
me as 1t does to our CITY," Mr.. ID art ex-
pressed his appreciation Of the support
given him.
General Collins said: Gas my heart
was never set on this or any other Office,
I am absolutely free from any personal
Disappointment. 1t was IN essence a clear
Republican victory. Though the city IL
normally Democratic, 1t has never In
modern times remained Democratic more
than tour years In succsssion."

tive committee of the National Republi-

the purpose of deciding upon city for
holding the next convention Of the
league. The chair was occupied by Presi-
dent George Stone Of San Francisco and

present, the largest on record at suoh .
meeting. On motion Of Mr.. Myers Of New
Jersey, the committee unanimously
adopted resolution regrstting the death
of Vice President Hobart. Today's sss-
sion was rather informal, the main fsat-
ure being discussion of the repeal Of ar

which prohibits 1t from endeavoeinR to

date or the adoption Of any policy BY any

Proposition to Relay fremont Street
Tracks Was Defeated.
Street

Boylston street from the westerly en-
trance Of the subway to fremont street
and along the latter street past the Com
mon to scollay square, we're removed BY
the Boston Elevated company In con-
formity with tho Legislative act. An
effort was made In the Legislature last
spring, to pass an act providing for the
relaying Of thu rails. The opposition
was very strong and . compromise was
effected giving the voters Of Boston an
opportunity to decide the matter. Meth
er candidate mentioned IL and the whole
question was fought out In the daily
press with more than ordinary vigor.
The. defeat Of the so-oalled "Board Of
Strategy" must be rsgarted as victory
for John r. Murphy. After his own de-
feat In the cauousss by Gen. Collins he
remained apparently passive, while many
of his staunohest leaders came out open
y for his opponent and spoke at the regu-
lar party rallies. Suddenly. early last
week, Mr.. Murphy announced his intsn.
tion OF voting for Mr.. Hart, the Rspub-
licsn candidate and In doing SO. Issued q
scathins denunsiation against the Demo-
cratic managers. asserting that Gen.
CoIlins's nomination was effected by
wholesale fraud. This Immediately
transformed the campaign from one Of
lethsrgy to the most exciting In the city s
history and from that time until last
night, the contest wss waged with great
flsrceness The two Democratic leaders
induiged In bitter personalities. while
the Republicans with rallies In their
strongholds aroused the greatest interest

vote ever polled In Boston.

served the city once before, but 1t Is four

For the first time In Its history, the city

The city o. usual voted for license, but
the all absorbing question Of relayins
the street car tracks on fremont street,
which had been taken up when the sub

The Republican victory was IN great
measure due to the "kninne" OF Gen.
Collins BY the supporters Of John n.
Murphy, who were severely disappointed
a their favorits's defeat in the oAucusss.
A remarkably heavy Republican vote also

Democratic plurality Of 1900 In the last

coupled with the tremendous outpour-
ing of voters, especially In the Republi-
can wards interested in the question OF
relaying the car tracks on fremont street,
was probably the direct cause Of the Re-
publican victory. There was, however.
an indirect onuse which prompted nu-
merous Democrats and great majority
Of the Republicans to vote for Mr.. Hart
and that was the opposition to the So
called "Board OF Strategy or the sok-
powledgsd leaders Of the Democrats In
City hall. Hundreds Of voters In tho
strong Democratic districts followed the
example Of the defeated candidate for the
party nomination at the caucuses. john
r. Murphy, and supported Mr.. Hart,
much to the surprise and chsgrin OF the
Collins managers who, up TO the very
morning Of the election. secuted the idea
that this detection would amount to any
thing and confidently believed that May
or Quincy's plurality OF two years ago
would not only be equalled. but exceed
ed. The revolt, however, In conjunction
with . solid Republican vote. proved
the fAliscy of such calculations and gave
their oppon ents wsll-earned victory.
The question Of relaying the tracks on
fremont street, brought thousands to
the polls. Two years ago when the sub
way was completed at cost Of seven
millions. the electric car tracks along
