WBsTCHEsTER ELECTIONS.

The first of the village elections IN Westchester
County was held in Peekskiu Tuesday. and.
with the exception of one trustee. the entire Re-
publican ticket was elected by majorities ranging
from 1879 to 81 There was contest over the
office of President, both parties iudorsed ex-
Assemblyman Isaac II. Smith for third term
Elections in PIeasautviIIe Dobbs Perry. Tucka-
hoe and Mannaroneck. the four villages in the town
of Pelham. will be held Tuesday March Is
Few of the villages are involved in partisan con
test and in most of them the present heads OF
IT,, local government have been indorsed BY both
parties.
1t is noted that at the coming village election in
Ossining. which takes place on Tuesday. the Demo-
Gratis make a weak showing Heretofore the party
has selected its strongest men for places on the
ticket and even if unsuccessful the polls. they
have made the fight on party lines. This year IN
opposition to the Republican candidate for Pres-
dent ex-Trustee Robert Lemmey. the Democrats
have named DR.. Albert ". Twiggar. a Republican
member of the Board OF Trade. The Democratic
candidate for Water Commissioner Dr. T. B.
Sherwood is also a Republican, severed times
elected by that party Trustee and President
OF the village The Independence League has
ticket in the field which are candidates named
by one or the other Of the two other parties IL
fndorses the Democratic nominee for President As
a rule the independence League vote in the village
has not amounted to much.
For the first time in several years there VIII be
opposition in the Tarrytown village election. which
will be held on March Is The Republican Conven-
ton on Monday night met and renominated John
Gross for President; James T. Lawrte. Joseph a.
Engesser and Frederick c. lie Roy for trustees.
Edward a. YOcOm for Collector. and W. H AID

and got up an independent ticket. with John Gross
at its head. and John GibbersOn. Robert Richter
and John Lockhart for Trustees; Peter HaIler for
Treasurer. and John E Gill for Collector. There is
no fight against Frank V. Millard. who IS the
acknowledged leader but LOckhart says he is
against the others IL is not known what steps John
Gross will take. but he will probably accede TO the
wishes of the organization and decline indorse-
rlent This is particularly embarrassing to him, as
LOckhart has been one OF his best friends. Ths
