A REPUBLICAN VICTORY.
Balance of Power Secured by That Party After Four Years-The Full Vote.

The republicans of Putnam came back into their own Monday at the bi- ennial city election, with a sweeping victory in which they elected their can didate for mayor for the first time in four years and wrested the control of the common council from the demo- crats, who have had a majority of one in the nine members of that body dur ing the last two years.
 In the mayoralty contest. Archibald Macdonald was the victor over Dr. Omer Larue. democrat, with major ity of 116. which was surprisingly large, for while his victory was looked for, it was expected by smaller mar gin.
 The established unity in the re- publican ranks also carried Represen- tative John A. Dady, candidate for alderman at large. into office. his n1a- jority over Lebbeus D. Smith being 12z and another big surprise. as Mir. Smith has long been a favorite in ofYice with a majority of the voters of the city, and the present holder of the office for which he was candidate.
 The victory of Monday gives the re- publicans the offices of city treasurer and collector. as usual.
 It will be a full four years since the republicans of Putnam have en- joyed the degree of control that they will be enabled to exercise in city af- fairs when the new administration be- gins It's existence In January and there was no concealment of the pleasure that this conviction has brought about when the votes were counted Mon day.
 An election that promised to be very tame up to within few days turned out very lively and the vote polied exceeded that of two years ago, when Archib bald Macdonald, the repunncAu 'candidate for mayAk wss dsfss&sd sy

Charles Bradwsy, democrat by fhs marrow margin of two votes.
 Automobiles and horse drawn veht- cles rushed the voters to the polls from the time that they were opened up till the minute of closing time. The that 1t was to be a lively struggle for supremacy. The big republican vic tory, however. was very much of a surprise for the wise ones were all guessing that the majorities would be very small. Just 903 persons came out to vote; but four of these were challenged because of their being res ddents Ide outside the city limits. Of the sss votes cast, 456 were straight re- publican, 2ss straight democrat and IA were split
 The pastors used were placed prin- cipally over the names of candidates for mayor or alderman at-lergs, al- though a few of the little pink labels were scattered over other names on the ticket
 The democrats. to say the least, were chagrined over the outcome. The par tvs representatives have filled <hs mayors chair for the last four years and during the last two years the al- derman- at-large with his balance of power, has been of that party.
 Aside from Mayor Macdonald. Alder man Dady will be the only new mem Der of the council and both have seon previous service in that body. Though defeated for mayor. Dr. Omsr Larus holds his place in the council as all derman from his ward: and Alderman J. Richard Carpenter, Adelmace Bro deur, republicans, George F.

While the personnel of the council will have changed little out l-I -G h. completely reversed and the Bin Taft smiles that were worn by the viotors Monday night may be expected to wear well for the next two years. The democrats lost good nght and are taking their medicine in a good spirit and making no excuses. The full vote was as follows:
