Now let us as good citizens lay aside
and forget all bitterness and discord

upbuilding of her bright future, ana
prosperity and happiness will reward
our efforts.
AS the lengthy shadows Of the pass

faults Of our neighbors and bury all
discord and bitterness with the ola

Counting Begins.
The managers lost no time in begin
ming to count the ballots. People
gathered in every available place to
hear the votes counted The first
baiiol called OF was "Cea satt." sgain
the echo came, "Hurrah for Alf. Gro
watt" The Emanuel forces began to
weaken. His supporters, one by one,
made their exit. The count continued,
and for fully two hours it was nip
and tuck One minute Croyatt lead,
then Emanuel was in the lead tlnal-
ly, when about four hundred and fifty
votes had been counted, Judge Crovatt
lead by twenty. There was not an
Emanuel man on Ine scene, or rather,
il they were, they were locked in the
mayors office in the city hall.
Change for Emanuel.
When all the votes had been count
ed save about one hundred, the two
men were even. The Emanuel sup
portefs bobbed up from every quarter
and for the first time during the day
cheers went up for Emanuel.
Close, Indeed, Close.
There were about fifty votes left in
the box. Fully five hundred people
were gathered around the polls, anx-
ious, nervous. and we may say, crazy
to hear the final result. Emanuel
stock went up. He took the lead.
When all ele votes except about forty
or fifty had been counted the mayor
was leading by twelve. Just think,
sucL a lew woes to be counted, ant
the candidates so close together One
by one Croyatt gained Every vote
was counted but three--the two men
were even. You could have heard a
pin drop in the large crowd. One OIL
the votes was picked out it read
Crovatt. The second was picked out,
il read: Croyatt The last: Crovatt.
And What Followed.
Then amid the widest enthusiasm
the crowd fairly went frantic with
their yells and shrieks. hurah for
Croyatl! hurrah for Coyatt! hurrah
for Croyattl Men, like wild animals,
could be seen running in every direc-
ton, looking for the hero of the hour.
There he was, standing in front of the
city hall, as cool as could be. But, in
less time tnan it takes to relate it, he
was in the hands of his friends, pow
erless. On their shoulders he went.
