Ballot for Mayor.
Breehons appointed Ballentyne and
Fogarty tellers. and as Judges of election
William Henry, A. L. Castle and Albert
Waterhouse
Douthltt rose to a point of order
the candidates should be pledged to
abide by the result of the ballot.
Shake Hands.
Breekons called Hustace and Lane
to the platform. Hustace was on deck
| promptly but there was a long delay
| until Lane could be found aud brought
| forward. When Lane finally arrived,
| he and Hustace were pledged to abide
| by the result. They shook hands on
, it and Lane took the opportunity to
| make a speech. Each promised to sup
| port his opponent if defeated himself.
The ballotlng was a lengthy process,
i the candidates having to file up on the
platform. receive their blank ballots, go
| to the booths and mark them. deliver
them to the judges and file back to their
seats. But they had the satisfaction of
| knowing that the Dear Public whom
they are supposed to represent would
not know how they voted, whether in
! accordance with the wishes of that
same Dear Public or otherwise.
Hustace Got First Blood
Hustaee got the first vote. Lane got
the next, then Hustace another. The
first eight or nine ballots alternated,
Lane, then Hustace, but soon Lane be-
gan to forge ahead. AS the calling of
votes went on Hustace caught up and
passed his opponent. When Hustace
had thirty votes. Lane had the same
and honors were even. Then Lane ran
ahead.
Lane Wins Handily.
When Hustace had but So. Lane had
so votes, and the votes kept coming
about two to one in his favor. He had
20 when Hustace had, SO. Lane at 100
had Hustaee beaten by % votes. The
final vote was Lane 1873, Hustace Sc.
A curious coincidence is that there are
1873 votes in the fourth district and Sc
IN the fifth.

Lane your candidate and the next may

And for the second time in the his
