Notwithstanding the interest shown in
the election neither party polled the vote
expected. The Union Republicans spent a
large amount of money I'm the fight and
secured a big majority Of the colored vote
throughout the city. The Regulars put no
money whatever An the fight and I'm fact,
before the election did not have the money
10 pay for halls IN which to hold meetings
or to pay for issuing circulars. There were
about as many Regulars who remained
away from the polls as voted Several
hundred Democrats also failed TO turn out.
The election was quiet and few people
were on the streets looking at the returns
on Saturday night. The usual band sere-
nades for successful candidates was also
done away with, which was probably due
to the fact that 1t was raining most OF the
evening.
The Democrats are now expected to build
up political machine and to try to main-
tain control Of the city government.
w. II. Bowers, the Regular Republican
candidate for mayor wishes TO thank those
who supported him I'm ahe campaign and
worked for his election on Saturday.
