Ouiet Illectlun Day-
i
it
n
it
(
u
All over the city it was unusually
quiet for an election day. Except to
voters or anxious candidates there was
nothing to indicate that nn election
was transpiring. There was even an
absence of excitement and strife In the
vicinity of the booths, save in wards
hi re and there where a contest was in
progress for aldermanlc und council-
manic honors.
The day was void of all that uncer
tainty which usually accompanies an
election of municipal, county, state or
national ofllcers. Excepting a fev
wards there was no hurrying of cabs
to bring In tardy voters, no gossiping
throngs on the street corners, no hot
headed betting, no genera) "nxiety and
but few fights which usual. feature an
exciting election. Business men paid
little attention to what was going nn
and at midnight the returns showed a
remarkably light vote.
Concerning the peculiar mayoralty
election In Philadelphia there were
more Inquiries on the streets than con
cernlng the election In Scrantun. The
Tribune's telephones were kept busy
conveying answers to "How Is T'hlla
delphla going?" or "Is it Warwick or
Paulson?" This disinterestedness con
cerning local returns is due to the fact
that no city ofllcers were elected In
Scranton. Neither politicians nor clll
zens seemed to care what transpired In
the city generally. The politicians con
cerned themselves only with tho results
In their own wards, and the public was
apparently lukewarm to everything,
l.lvaly l ight in the l.iglith.
One or the wards which showed n
marked exception to the general apathy
was the Eighth, where W. A. .Millar
Republican, wns elected alderman by
7S majority over Jdhn Kltzslmmons, t hi
Democratic, cnndldate and the present
Incumbent of the ofllce. Of lute years
the Eighth ward has been considered
doubtful fighting ground with chances
slightly In favor of a Republican vote,
There were WW votes polled as against
alo votes polled In the stale election
last November. These figures best I
the amount of work done In the Eighth
ward yesterday.
Seldom In the history of West Side
politics has there been ns much nn
certainty and strife us that which at
tended the aldermanlc contest In tint
Fifteenth ward between Daniel Moscp,
Republican, nnd T. T. Morgan, tin
Democratic cnndldnto. The friends of
the candidates Indulged In some 'very
warm discussions during the duy. It
tio disturbances occurred. Mr. Moses
was elected by over a hundred ma
jority.
C. S. Heamnns, Republican, obtnlnec
SI mujorlty over Attorney II. II. Rey
nobis, Democrat, for common council
In the Thirteenth word. Mr, Heamnns
will succeed Thomas It, Howe, a Hi
publican Incumbent. For P. I. Smllli
the Prohibitionist candidate, r.2 votes
were cast; for Mr. Reynolds, 2!)7 voles
for Mr. Seaman. Itxl votes.
In the Sixteenth ward, where all the
Republican minor candidates received
more voles than their Democratic op
poncnts, I,. P. Zeldler, a Democrat, was
elected to common council by (111 majotl
ty over Waller IC. Davis, Republican.
Thomas Norton, Democrat, was re

fraud ( barged In tho Third Ward.
Considerable trouble was experienced
In the Third ward, where only Demo
cratlc candidates were running for
common council and the lesser nfliees,
The polls were closed at 8 o'clock
Fraud is claimed by one candidate
each for common council ami assessor
of voters, and they will contest tho
result. James drier, the present In,
cumbent, Thomas Moban and James J,
Gallagher, all Democrats, were on the
ticket for common council. According
to the returns, whpn the polls closed
ut 6 o'clock. Mr. drier will be returned
by i"3 plurality. Mr. lloban claims that
the polls were closed nn hour eurly In

prospective votes.

FACTS
1st: We handle tho highest grades of
staple groceries produced. In Teas,
Coffees, Butter, Cheese, Rice, Mo
lasses, Smoked' Sleats, Canned
Goods, Dried Fruits, Flour, etc.,
etc., we have always in stock as
good as can bo bought. In Import
ed goods, such ns Olives, Olive OH,
Sardines, French Peas and Beans,
etc., etc., what we carry are the
best brands brought to this coun
try. Some people who have never
bought any goods from us have an
Impression from the fact that we
sell so cheap that the goods can
not be first class. Nothing could
be farther out of the way. We de
pend almost wholly on the quality
of our goods to hold our trade, as
we do no drumming and solicit no
credit customers. We think we
are not stretching the truth when
we say that we handle the largest
amount of groceries of any house
In this part of the state not ex
clusively wholesale, which In Itself
guarantees fresh goods always. So
much for quality.
2d: Notwithstanding the fact that
the goods we handle are strictly
first class lu every respect, our
method of doing business enables
us to scdl ut lltrures much below
the usual rates. As v.e said be
fore, wo do no drumming. That Is,
we have no agents soliciting or
ders, which Is a very expensive wa
of selling goods, for which the cus
tomer must pay. We sell, with
few exceptions, for cash, losing
no bad debts whatever. We do a
wholesale and a retail business.
We do a large retail fresh meat
trade without having to charge a
big shop rent up lo that depart
ment. Hd: We have ton horses used exclu-
slvely In delivering goods with live
wagons on the road all the time,
getting out orders promptly and in
good condition.
Finally: We have the largest
line of first class goods In North
eastern Pennsylvania. Our prices
e the lowest wo have heard of
.nywhere, and our delivery system
' Is now perfect. Until March 1st we
will give 10 per cent, off on all goods
bought from us except Flour,
.Sugar and Feed. We want your
