FULL DEMOCRATIC TICKET WINS.

strongest Republican parts of the city
giving only small plurality for the
party nominee, and some of them going
Tor Harrison, who, however, suffered in
some Of the Democratic strongholds.
The Democrats carried all the city
offices on the ticket, as we'll as that of
mayor. William Loeffier was elected
city clerk, A. ]. Ryan city attorney and

were about evenly divided. The Dem

the towns Of Jefferson, Hyde Park and
