The City Council.

The Council will organize on Tuesday,
September l. The terms OF members OF
both branches is thus provided for, as
fcurd in the act of the General Assembly,
approved May 20, 1908, amending laws
relating to cities and towns:
"The members of every Council and
of each branch thereof, when it consists
of two branches, shall be elected for
term of four years, but upon the first
assembly under this act ofevery Council,
and of each branch thereof, when there
are two, the members of each branch
thereof shall be divided into two equal
classes, to be determined by lot, and
the terms of members of the first class
shall be two years, and that of the
second class for four years, so that one
half of each branch shall be elected every
two years"
Reading further on in the same section
10l5a this chapter is referred to, and
thus in section 1908, same chapter, we
read certain exceptions. Having selected
twenty-four members under this law, as
il is understood, each branch of Council
selects not only president, but in addi-
ton a vice president, and in case OF a
vacancy from any cause, the branch IN
which such vacancies occur shall elect
a qualified person to supply the vacancy
for The unexpired term.

As was stated yesterday, while the
election was devoid OF excitement there
was a marked earnestness and determi'
nation on the part of most candidates
and their friends, and up to the hour
when the polls were closed it was EVIL
dent that there was determination 70
poll every accessible vote.
For nearly an hour after sunset the
greatest interest was shown in the re-
suit. The main issue was between the
two candidates for Mayor, and while the
friends of both were hopeful, they
we're also anxious. Both sides were
claiming the victory, but it was impos-
sible to divine accurately who had come
out ahead in the race. 1t was generally
conceded that the candidate who emerged
triumphant would do so by a small
margin. This proved to be the case,
and when the vote of the First ward was
announced, giving Mr.. Paff majority
of three, the tension grew more pro-
nounced. Later it was ascertained that
Mr.. Simpson had carried his own ward
the Thirdly but eight majority.
This announcement caused the ordeal
to rise to fever heat, and it was further
aggravated by the knowledge that there
was tie in the Fourth ward. The re-
turns from the Second ward, which gave
Mr.. Paff 164 and Mr.. Simpson Ill,
brought the ordeal to a close and showed
that Mr.. Simpson had been defeated in
the city by the small majority Of S.
The friends of the successful candl-
date were not slow in expressing their
satisfaction at the result, although their
exuberance was mostly within the bounds
of moderation, and while the new star in
the political world was receiving the
congratulations of his friends, equally as
many Others were bowling to him whose
work was done.
Later the names of the successful can
didates for the Board of Aldermen and
Common Council were announced.
The following is the official vote
