Sewer Dire ctor William Simmons.
Mines II. Morris, the Eighth ward
pminss, formerly represented that
{8ard in Council.
NJ There were several surprises. In
That section Of the city north of Sixth
Street, commonly known as the North
FERN assessment and collection district,
which is regarded as the Republican
14rongho.d, the contest for assessor and
Hcllector lowered above every thing else.
&bon as s. Lewis, the present incum,
5tHnt. had the support Of a majority of
She organization workers, while George
IN MoCall, who defeated HIM, also had
~ strong, following. MIR. McCall's
ylotory was due chiefly to the fact that
an r. Lewis has had the office two terms.
The remainder of the general ticket
WAS selected as predicted by workers
3}n both of the Republican factions on
Saturday, hut the Councilmanic nomi-
lfntion was not altogether according to
programme. Thomas e. Postles, colored,
MAS nominated in the Sixth ward over
md Joseph MacKlin. The white can
didates divided the white vote, while
Rostles secured almost the entire colored
of the ward. A. g. B. Anderson,
Rlored, was a candidate in the Twelfth
tfrnrd where there were two white men
Njn the field, but succeeded in polling
b9s0ly SO of the lis oolpred votes in the
atFhrd, being low man in the contest.
bHoro Mcmillan won by 90 votes.

Hsnns regard the result of the nomina-
mon as rout Of the organization, but

Rn ission, Mr.. Lewis, the defeated can
9l3idate for assessor and collector in the

Alpan, as were also two or three or the
Adefeated candidates for City Council,
