respective offices without opposition
The Graphic made an effort early
this morning to get T. J. Collier
over the telephone at Altheimer but
was unable to do SO. 1t wanted to
ask him if he had decided to finally
support of the project is needed to
make it a success-but because he
had openly stated in a meeting of the
Democratic county central committee
in this city that if majority of the
voters of jefferson county voted in
favor OF the Free Bridge he would
be for it. The Graphic merely want
ed to get him to reiterate his state
ments, now that the majority have
spoken their approval of the great
enterprise at the polls.
| The vote of yesterday, while it's re-
suit was expected, is a vindication of
| the Bridge Commissioners and
ratification of their progressive ac-
ton in behalf of the Free Bridge be-
cause the public believed that they
had been unjustly criticized by a
prejudiced people-a people who had
been misled in the matter and made
to believe any statement made con-
corning the Bridge, statements thai
usually were not made on or sub
staintiated by facts. The vote mas

been unfavorable.
Sheriff Brewster and Judge Phil
pot and other successful candidates
were cheered and surrounded by a
wild gathering of friends, admirers
and supporters at o'clock this
morning when the count of the Third
ward ballots was ended. They had
all made clean campaigns, as we'll
as their opponents, and their victor
les were testimonial of their pop
ularity and an endorsement of their
official acts in the past.
