a Democrat reporter. "The returns
from the Republican wards satisfy
me that the citizens to whom / prin-
cipally appealed We're with me, and
had supposed that the lessons the
City Commissioner system has taught
were well enough known to my Dem
ocratic friends that they would sup
port their cause without being spe-
c'ally urged tho Dc so. The defeat
is due to the strength of the Proxy
system machine, and to Democrats
who have enjoyed some of its favors
and privileges who were willing to
vote and work to secure continuation
of those favors at the expense OF the

Early Returns Gave No
Assurance.
Neither Side Had
Chance to Yell.
Regret That Mr.. lsbelI's Own
Party Defeated Him.

1t was 10 o'clock Monday night he
fore either side saw chance for
much cheering. AS the early returns
came in at Democratic and Republican
headquarters, and it was seen that
Mr.. 1sbell was making gains in Repub,
lican precincts, many of his friends
felt confident of his success. But the
more conservative, having in mind the
Republican plurality of 100 last fall,
said, Wait"
1t was in the Democratic precincts
that the Republican candidate made
his gains and eventually won out.
The early part of the evening was
quiet and at no time was there the
usually noisy crowd on the street
though it was not that there were
no people out. There were crowds at
every place at which news was re-
ceived. Telephones were kept busy.
The Peoples line furnished news for
all subscribers who asked for 1t.
AT 10:30 o'clock Mat Wcln and a
drum corps of German Warriors
marched into Republican headquarters
Mr.. Vein was among the speech
makers there and declared: II am n
Democrat, but when the party does
not so to suit me, vote the other
way
AT il O'Clock the Eureka band was
called to the street in front of Repub.
llcan headquarters and inspired en-.
thuslasm among those who were com.
ing out of the meeting which had been
hastily called in the hall above.
When the news came from the City
Election Board giving the victory to
Mr.. Doyle, the crowd gathered at
Democratic headquarters slowly dis.
persed There was no manifestation
OF i'll feeling, though general regret
was expressed that Mr.. Isbell had been
defeated by his own party, while in.
dependent citizens We're standing by
him.
I'VE shall see how well the promises
that were made are kept" said one
prominent citizen. Mr.. Doyle had a
fair platform and we will see whether
it is for more than merely ot get in

PRAISE
Was Lavished on the
Judge.
Declared to be a Personal Vindi.
cation For Him.

Judge George NJ. Anderson upon
whom the burden of the Republican
campaign rested, by virtue of his rela-
tlon to the nominee, Mr.. Doyle, felt
none of the satisfaction of certain VIC
tory until late in the evening when
returns made certain that for which
he hoped and yet looked upon as a
matter of serious doubt Immediate
ly following the close of the polls,
when news was being received in a
fragmentary and disconnected way,
he appeared at the Hotel Buchtel
where the situation was discussed
with friends and further proof of Mr.
Doyle's rumored victory awaited with
impotence. There was little in the
first reports TO cause especial pleas
ure and indeed, it was tinged with
some evidences of defeat. So strong
did this become that at one time the
Judge felt himself the leader of a re-
iected cause and accepted with ill
grace the proffered but well-intended
congratulations Leaders from the diff
ferent wards who, true to their train
Ing, came in with reports were greet
ed with visible evidences of discon-
tent and the scene had nothing of

of it and regret that there was not

idea propose to make another effort
to get it started by calling another
meeting soon and it is to be hoped
that the merchants will respond more
promptly and greater numbers to the
