Politics at Fever Heat.

Political excitement reached fever hea<
tonight and Ensley witnessed the most
strenuous ending of political race in
the history of the city.
The rival factions each with a brass
band, paraded the streets long before
dark, the followers of each ticket tried
to out yell the other; dignity was thrown
to the winds, the large crowds assembled
resolving themselves in cheering enthusi-
astic mobs
The Sugg faction held its meeting at
the city hall which was crowded with
as enthusiastic a gathering as one would
ever wish to see. Each speaker was
loudly applauded but the ovation accord
ed Mayor Sugg lasted several minutes.
Mr.. Mcdowell, the candidate from the
Third ward made strong address call
ing the audience to the feet several
times by his pointed remarks.
The Deputy faction held forth on the cor
ner of Avenue E and 10th street and a
big crowd assembled to hear the speak
ing. The appearance of Mr.. Dupuy CALL
ed forth tremendous round Of applause
The campaign issues were the matters
discussed by the speakers each of whom
was literally .applauded.
This closes most memorable cam
paign, both sides fighting aggressively.
The result will only be told when the
ballots are counted. That the election will
be fairly conducted is evidenced by the
high character of the gentlemen selected
as managers and clerks.
