In the third ward, Mr.. II. A..

of compliment.
In the fourth ward, Mr.. G. A. Nash
had a walkover for the short term,
receiving 50 votes. For the long
term, Mr.. F. G. B. Weihe received 40
votes. Mr.. Jno. 7. Moore also re-
ceived 40, but his narne being written
on the tickets % votes were cast for
j. T. Moore and II for j. Moore, so
it will take the official count to decide
which of them is elected. Mr.. wv. A..
Robertson received votes.
Mr.. Moore and his friends think they
did very well, considering the short
notice of his candidacy. Some votes,
they say, on account of improper
marking, were thrown out; so they
are confident of winning, if another
contest is held for that ward
On the other hand, it is said that
some of the votes for Mr.. Moore were
cast for the short term, which would
cause him to lose. The matter can't
be decided till the council meets next
Tuesday night.
What the different candidates stood
for was entirely well understood be-
fore the election, and the people of
the city have definitely marked out by
their votes the policy they desire to
have followed during the ensuing
year. It's the Stars opinion that the
council will consistently carry out the
policy.
