admitted that the recent Democratic victory was
due TO fourteen years Of education carried on BY
the Democracy under his guidance.

 The election of the entire ticket gives the democrats full control of the city government for. the year. The prohibition vote surprised many, al though the party members looked Tor all they got and feel that they have made a start. The presence of the ticket in the field evidently hurt the republican ticket considerably.
 Celebration of the Victory.
 The democrats were naturally highly elated at the victory and plans were immediately made for proper cele- bration- Tubbs' band was secured and after playing a number of selections in Broadway the parade was started amidst cheers, followed by the suc- cessful candidates and party workers in open hacks. There were also num- ing west through Main street. they proceeded as far as Thames square and countermarched through Main to Preston bridge and through the East Side to Hamilton avenue Counter marching to North Main street, all electric car was taken by the band to the top of Schofield's Hill, from which point they marched into Greeneville t9 point in front of the fire station. Red fire marked the line of march. but here there was a rousing big bonfire in the center of the street and a cheering crowd. Remaining there short time. the parade went through Sixth to Cen tral avenue and after playing at Sher- if Carey's house the parade broke up after being out about two hours. An other bonfire was burning in Prospect street. In front of John Donovan's house and also James Hankins' house there was red fire. MT. Donovan had, however. not taken an active part in the election He stated that he was out of politics and didn't intend to en- ter into the election. He kept his word, but couldn't see the party win without helping in the celebration.

Mitch surprise was expressed at the outcome of the city election on Mon day, when it was announced that the democrats had carried the entire ticket from mayor to sheriff by normal ma jority of Al. Democratic weather pre- vailed early in the morning, but while
 it changed uring the day to a beautiful June day Monday, it did not bring out
 the usual vote, which fell considerably short of even last year, which was an
 off year.
 There was the usual intelest taken among party workers in getting delin quents to the polls, carria ges and au- tos being busy all day The only ex- citement which amounted to anything was the corraling of the almshouse voters it was stated that J. J. Cork cry visited the alInshouse early Mon day morning. addressing the voters at the breakfast table and telling them they should go to the polls in the team provided for them. When the repubf- can team came it was found they had been to the polls. John Exley rebelled however, and went to the polls on foot and made known to the republican leaders what had been done. Mir Cork cry stated that the almShouse people had been given every opportunity to vote as they wished. He told them to vote upon principle, and there was no urging.
 During the afternoon from those who were going to the polling places the

 There were not many tickets thrown away in the election, although some persisted in having their ballots ex- cluded by including whole books of pasters with their ticket. while others failed to get the benefit of their pastors by not sticking them firmly.

 At ' o'clock in the mayors office. directly after the vote had been an nounced, Charles F.
