The opposition did not succeed in electing man, the majorities of the ad- ministration candidates ranging from more than 3 to 1, to comfortable figures. Mayor A. E. Walker received 366 votes and his opponent. Judge H. c. Jones. I'll. The aldermen elected are: First ward, W. l.. Mcfarland; Second ward, W. E. Sharpe; Third ward. M. Coplan; Fourth ward. R. N. Harris; Fifth ward, George w. Porter; sixth ward. W. l.. Fulton; Seventh ward c. L. Blakely.
 Eighty-six votes were challenged, in al- most every instance by the Jones people, but with the elimination of all these May or Walkers majority is still 109.
