majority of 321 over B. Frank Henry,
the present incumbent.

his ticket in this city, Silzer having a
plurality here of 2S2.

elected by a majority of 247.
The result in this city was in doubt
until the sixth ward was heard"'from
ABOUT 4 y CLOCK yeSlcTuiI HlOTulHS, dS
it took the board there so long to
count the votes.
Until the fifth and sixth wards
were heard from the whole city and
county election was in doubt. 1t was
thought that Senator Jackson had
been reelected, but Silzer's majority
of PIG in the fifth and 145 In the
sixth changed the whole complexion
of things.
In the first ward w. P. Bradley. re-
publican candidate for school COM
missioner, received a majority just
100 greater than w. f. VanPelt, his
running mate, who was elected to the
