Burlington Goes Democratic.
+ Burlington, March 27.-Not for a
good many years has there been such
interest manifested in an election as
that which was evinced yesterday.
Both parties worked hard to get out
the vote, with great success, and one
of the heaviest ballots ever cast out
side of presidential election resulted.
The city is normally democratic, but
by close work the republicans elected
the last mayor. The result yesterday
is a return to democratic rule, the en-
tire city ticket being elected, including
Marquardt over Caster. The democrats
will probably have majority in the
council.
