Democrats came back with a roar
yesterday, scattering the Republic
cans before them like a band of
crapshooters running from the cops.
When the day ended the donkey
party had elected the city treasurer,
city clerk and p aldermen. The city
council now stands: Democrats, 43;
Republicans, "A; Socialists; 8.
Socialists put over a surprise in
the 9th ward, where Chas. V. John
son defeated Aid. Hiram Vanderbilt.
Aid. Kennedy in the 9th ward rolled
up more votes than the rest of his
opponents combined, in spite of the
Tribune knocking. Just to rub it
into the Trib, the 9th ward voters
gave Kennedy the highest plurality
in the city.
