 The announcement of the result of the primary was attended by one of the most striking demonstrations that has ever taken place in mayoraity elee-4 ton in Montgomery. The majority of Sn cheers which emanated from the Court Ho1se where the returns were receiv- ed last night were taken up on the outside along Washington Street and seemingly by infection carried for blocks and blocks away.
 Enthusiasm of Teague Men.
 The returns from all boxes except that of Ward 1 were made quickly to the Central Council which assembled In the civil division room of the City Court Of Montgomery to canvass them, the first ward being delayed for up wards of half an hour. The process sion, however, which marched first from the courthouse to the residence of MT. Teague, on South Perry Street, became impatient in the wait for the returns from Ward 1. Knowing that the other returns could not alter the result of the mayoralty election and headed by a squad of mounted police and civilians and followed by the Montgomery City Band, the crowd numbering over 2,OO0 people proceeded amid confusing yells and music to the home of MT. Teague.
 Mir Teague was standing on the front porch of his residence when the procession, stopping in the middle of inc street, and crowding over the side aoH ha rounding homes began their boisterous salutations. As soon as a semblance of order was secured, Mir. Teague, es- corted by members of the Teague Cam paign Club, stepped to a central posi- ton and addressed his hearers briefly.
 Nominee Makes Speech.
 T am gratihed by the vote which has nominated me Mayor of Montgom- cry, gentlemen" said the nominee. T am gratified beyond speech and I wish to thank you one and all for the sup port which has been accorded me Tn this race"
 He assured every citizen of Mont gomery that he intended to he the mayor of the whole city and that he has no grudge against any one. He pledged his undivided time to the wei fare of the city in every way which his best judgment dictated.
 The nominee emphasized his state ment that with him there was no hard feeling against the opposition in the race for Mayor of the city. He closed his speech with an appeal for the CO., operation of all citizens in carrying out the laws of the city.
 His few words were cheered to the echo. He was surrounded by nearly all of his family who seemed much 1 joyed at the honors that had been heaped upon the mayor-to to-be of Mont gomery
 Speeches following Mir. Teague were 1 made by s. H Dent, J. c. Conner, Lee Well, w. W. Pearson, and MT. Hig- gins MT. Dent, president of the cam paign club announced that organiza- tion dissolved, it having accomplished Its full purposes.
 Marched to Gerald Home.
 Hardly less enthusiastic was the de- monstration of several hundred citi- zens rallying around the band before the residence of Chief Gerald. The band and procession which had march ed from the home of Mir. Teague to the intersection of Perry and Washington streets. thence down Washington street and Lawrence street to Dexter avenue and to Court Square, rushed for the street cars which carried them to within a block of Chief Gerald's home. jubilant scene greeted the crowd on the porch of the Gerald home. Mem bers of his family and numerous neigh bors danced happily to and fro on the porch which seemed to fire to higher bitch the enthusiasm which already possessed the paraders. Visible through the many people hocked on the gallery was Chief Gerald himself seated upon his bed where he lay all day during the election suffer- ing from a sudden spell of sickness. For the first time In several elections he did not vote He wore his character I.tI. srnila and nndestlH look tha
