ONE RESULT CONTESTED.

The editor wishes to thank the vot-
ers of Precinct l of Ward 5, for the
very generous manner in which they
responded to his request for their
support in the primaries on Saturday
Though the conditions under which
he ran were beclouded somewhat by
statements made with the intention
of injuring his candidacy, the major
ity showed clearly that other things
being equal, they prefer a colored
representative whom they know to
white representative whom they do
not know. This disposition is brought
out the clearer by their overwhelming
vote for the colored candidate in the
fface OF adverse statements. The re-
suit was 93 to 40.
Two of the three judges were col
ored, A R. Butler and Mrs Effie Wal
don. Mr.. Ford, the white candidate,
had eleven colored workers, some of
them hired from among the residents
of the precinct, and others who were
sent out from the Bailey headquar-
ters to help him. He also had five
white workers, one auto and one car
riage. c. A. Franklin had two work
ers, VIM. May and Curtis Harris At
the opening of the polls large COM
pany of people assembled and it was
tnen discovered that the Ford party
had all the ballots and were Offering
only such as were already marked
for him, withholding all that were left
unmarked. This scheme, together
with the cloud of workers with which
he beseiged the polls brought forth
the latent possibilities of the friends
of the colored candidates so that DR..
DeFrantz, S. H. Baxter and Mr.. Bo-
mar of 1852 Welton street volunteer
ed and helped him until the polls
| closed. Their efforts, together with
| the loyalty of the voters themselves,
achieved the victory.
On Monday night. Mr.. Ford appear
ed before the committee of nine in
charge of the reorganization of the
party. together with lawyer, three
white witnesses, and two colored. l.
H. Harper and Leroy Prince, and
attempted to show that the election
was conducted with unfairness, that
white voters were intimidated and
| driven from the polls, that ballots
We're switched and that nonresident
voters and Democrats voted He even
charged that a shooting affray had
occurred near the polls, frightening
away voters. After hearing the re-
buttal by Franklin and his witnesses,

ANNOUNCEMENT CARDS.

For some reason there seems to be
doubt concerning Just how to reply TO
announcement cards sent out after
wedding. Such cards are only sent
when for one reason or another a
small, rather private wedding ia pre-
ferred to a large one. There may have
been a death or some member Of the
family Ill, or many and varied reasons
for sending announcement cards in
place of invitations to attend either
the ceremony or the reception after
wards. In any case, they are perfectly
permissible, and the answer should
be just the mailing of the visiting
card of the person addressed. AS these
announcements are always sent to
husband and wife together, the card
of each should be inclosed when sent.
Two Of the husbands with one OF
the wife's being correct, meaning that
the husband calls on husband and
wife, while the wife calls upon the
wife only. The envelope is addressed
to whomsoever sent the announce,
ment, either parents or guardian,
brother or whatever. OF course a call
in person Is to be preferred, but is
not necessary. Usually the card of the
newly welded pair, with address and
receiving days, is enclosed with the
announcement; then the recipient is
to call on the day set for the home re
