The surprise of the day came in the
overturn for no-lcense. A strong
fight had been put up by the sdry'
advocates, and it was known that they
would make a better showing than
year ago, when they fell short by 1S4
votes. The strenuous efforts of the
license men during the past few days
were expected to calnteract the no.
license effort, but they failed to make
much of an impression and the city
went dry by an even 100. The vote was
1896 to 1896.
In the contest for places in the city
council the Democrats elected three of
the seven members chosen, the other
four being Republicans. Smith, Republi-
can, was reelected assessor by large
plurality, and Frank A. Bond, Repub-
lican, and DR.. Francis j. O 'Hara, Demo
crat, were victorious in the school com

feated. The showing made by DIR.
