the Outcone--Pickler Wants to Set.
tie Down to Business.
From Tuesdays Daily.
The republicans are happy today in
having secured a majority in the city
council, and a majority of the other
city offices, although the election of
at least j. K. Dysart as mayor would
have been necessary to thoroughly
complete the triumph. There We're
many surprises, not the least of
which was the election of VIM. O'Mal-
ley as alderman in the first ward
against the same candidate who, last
year, walked into Office with ma
jority of 262, and in ward which
from time immemorial has gone demo-
cratic. Both sides claim victory
and all seem fairly satisfied today.
Much Enthusiasm.
Last evening there was more en-
thusiasm displayed than was ever
seen before at city election here.
AS soon as it became known that
Mayor Picker was reelected the fire
bell was rung and pandemonium broke
loose among his supporters. The Fiji
ty-fourth regimental band was called
out and procession was formed.
| The band followed by large gather
| ing marched to the East End and SER
enaded Alderman Elect O'Malley at
his home. Mr.. O'Malley acknowledge
ed the honor with an appropriate
speech in which he thanked his sup
porters. The Courier office was also
serenaded Many men who took
prominent parts in the campaign were
seen this morning and spoke of the
result as viewed by them as follows:
!. H. Hammond.
! chairman Republican City Centra
Committee.
"Well, am very well pleased with
the result of the election, though
wanted to see the head of our ticket
| elected. However, think we have re
| ceived the best of the deal and would
i rather have the officers we have thar
the ones the democrats have, secured
I L think the republicans of the fifth ant
i seventh wards are entitled to grea
1 deal of praise for the manner in which
they worked and got out the vote yes
4 terday, and l am sure that we would
have had no trouble in winning the
election at the head of the ticket hat
the fourth and sixth wards done al
nobly. However the election of O'Mal
ley as alderman of the first ward wa!
a splendid stroke and | feel that thu
party has been splendidly successful
