tory of Mr.. Coyne makes the Common

tial majority over Hunter Lindsay. The

The old Democratic Fourth, where
Percy Sulc, Socialist, was expected 10
injure Owen p. Casey, the Democratic

young friends made an active canvass
for him, with the result hat he snowed

In the Fifth ward, Grinsted, former
school commissioner, defeated Lindsay
by a majority that surprised even the
Fifth ward mans friends. The official
vote in the first district was not count-
ed officially until 5 o'clock this morn
ing, as the tellers had to recount the
ballots, owing to al early error. Mr..
Grinsted's majority was 272, the biggest
win in the city. The district vote was:l
Grinsted, 266, 217; total. 4S3. Lindsay.
10S, 1903; total, I'll. The effort to paint
Mr.. Grinsted as an opponent of union
labor was a typical "roorback,' and the
last-minute circulars distributed about
the ward yesterday reacted in his fa-
vor. While the ward is usually Repub-
lican, it buried the party nominee. ~
The proposition submitted to the peo-
pie to pay the councilmen $500 a year
each was overwhelmingly defeated,
only one district voting fayorably. III
A feature of the vote in Orange yes
terday was the gain of the Socialists.
They secured a total of 2S7, against 100
last year.
