As the SUI set Monday the polls
of one Of the most interesting, most
complex and. most Scloselya contested
municipal elections ever held in Mar
tinsburg was closed. From sunrise
to sunset the candidates and those
who took keen interest in the out
come of the election were ON the alert
and not a stone was left unturned by
thera TO make their side win.
The total vote poiled Yesterday was
much larger than the total vote polled
two years ago. when five councilmen
were elected and lacked only 223
votes OF the total vote cast last year.
when the election f1r Mayor and
five councllmen brought out the largest
vote ever polled at municipal cleo
ton ever held in the city.
The general result of the election
shows the power Of the citizens move
mentt aud how it is received by the
people. In the First Ward the citi-
zens candidate, Mr.. Robinson, who was
also on the Democratic ticket had one
of the hardest fights ever fought at an
election in that ward. This wa d is
the Mayors own ward aud consider
ing the fact that the Republicans al
most centured their efforts in this ward
and taking into consideration also the
popularity of their candidate, Mr..
Jno. W. Martin. Mr.. Robinson made
remarkable run, being defeated by
majority of only eleven votes. In
this ward fifty-one more votes were
cast than at the election of two years
ago which shows that everybody the
politicians could get hold of was
brouhgt to the polls.
In the Second Ward the candidate
endorsed by the citizens was elected
by one of the largest maiorities ever
received by a candidate in that ward.
In the Third Ward the election was
walk-oyer for the citizens. Not
withstanding the fact that Mr.. Wes-
/ tenhaver had two candidates 10 OPP
| pose, that his name naa 10 DC written
on the ticket aud that every effort
had been made to down him in the
courts. he came out of the battle on
top with the snug majority OF 50 and
with a majority OF five votes over
both the other candidates togeth er.
In the other two wards, where there
were no citizens Candidates, there was
not so much interest shown. In the
Fourth Ward the total vote fell thirty
nine votes behind the total vote of
two years ago and in the Fifth it was
exactly the same.
AS the result of the election the
City Council will now be composed OF
seven Republicans, two Democrats
and one CT liens candidate. 1t is

BRIGHT PROSPECTS.

The crops are all right. The corn is
pushing up through the ground with
live animation but the grass, to the
contrary is languishing but this rain
will put a hump on them. Every
where the benefit of this shower will
be felt and as a warm sky follows il
will fairly unbosom the earth and
push the green goods to the fore. All
vegetables and fruits are in excellent
trim. and wheat surges higher than
ever known at this season. The farm
er seems to have a good prospect
ahead as far as crops go. The damage
caused TO the wheat and corn crops
by the flood will not amount to a
great deal.
