A SURPRISE IN RUTLAND.
Local Political Jealousies Defeat the
Republicans.

kepuDIlCanS.
Rutland. March John d. Spellman
was elected mayor to-day on citizens
ticket by a plurality of AZ over Clark, the
republican. The high wind and snow in
the morning and the rain in the afternoon
materially aided Spel!man still a very
fair vote was polled, as 1tS out OF 2fS
voters were at the polls. There has been
much dissatisfaction in the democratic
party since the caucus which eliminated
in d large democratic vote for Speiiman.
The republicans also failed to cast a full
party vote for mayor as shown in wards
and 10, where republican aldermen Wei
elected but a plurality was given Spell
man. Local political jcaousles in tie
democratic party and some i'll feeiing
among the republicans, combined with the
urfavorable weather. brought about the
result.

in the choice of three republicans, one

H. d. Spellman, the next mayor, was
born in Rutland November (, 1883. of Irish
parents. He studied law and was admit
