a surprise.
The only man who did not have a
veritable walk-over was Mr.. Schill

was the lightest cast at an election
for sey eral years. and indicated, that
the people either took little interest
In the election. or were willing to

WET AND DRY.
Considerable interest was mani.
fested in the result of the License
or = No License" question which WAS
submitted for the second time tc the
voters yesterday. Under the supervis
ion OF committee of local ministers
and others. backed np by a Don-
partisan organization a campaign had
been made by those who are identified
with the anti-saloon element, the
campaign being confined chiefly to a
series OF articles in the newspapers
The saloon element also made q
campaign. but it was rather quiet
one. and SO far as can be learned no
money was used to further the saloon
interests at the polls. the saloon men
relying upon getting out the vote
favorable to license. Not every one
who voted cast ballet on the license
question there being 80 more votes
for councilmen than on the license
matter. This is explained in part by
the fact that many persons refused to
vote on the question while it is said
that at one or two precincts the clerks
were slow in handing ont these bal.
lots. which were separate from the
municipal ticket. BY wards the
wet" and dry" vote was as follows /:
First-wet. TT; dry Al majority
for wet, 1856.
Second-Wet, 1888; dry. 1862; MAORI
