MONDAYS ELECTION. There was continu-
GUS and furious snow storm all day Monday up
to within an hour or two of the closing of the
polls, and it is generally accepted fact,
whether justified or not, that storm on cleo
ton day cuts down the Republican vote and
thus fayors the Dem ocrats. But this oc-
casion Democrats and Republicans were alike
interested in the success of the ticket that
stood for good government and good citizen
ship, and the result was satisfactory to both
parties, and to all who hold the interests of
the city above the personal gain and aggrand-
izement of a single individual. No attempt
was made at the polls to check the political
preferences of the voters, but tally was kept
to show who had voted, with view to getting
out the full vote. Autos ploughed through
the snow and sleighs and covered vehicles
were used to bring voters to the polls and the
result was large vote despite the storm. 1t
was an unusually quiet ell ection; at least SO
far as the city wards were concerned, and al
though there was no means of telling how the
votes were goi ng it was noticed that quite
early in the day the Hanson workers. had long
faces and grew more detected as the day wore
on. Victory for the right was in the air and
inspired those who we're working for the re-
demption OF Belfast. At 5.45 the whistle at
Mathews Bros. mill sounded the note of VIC
tory and was soon seconded by the whistle at
the shoe factory. The vote in detail is given
elsewhere, but it may be noted here that the
opposing candidates for mayor both live in
Ward /. and that Mr.. Keene carried the ward
by the handsome majority of 81. Comment is
unnecessary. In the evening there was an
impromptu celebration. A big bonfire was
started in post Office square. the Belfast band
played its prettiest. the whistles of the fac
tories were blown and a good natured. orderly
crowd gathered around the bonfire and listened
to the band. Many residences were illumi-
mated, while others resembled abodes in a de-
serted village. The fun was all over shortly
after 9 o'clock and no extra police were re.
quired to maintain order.
