j -lames (i. LJailcy Elected .Mayor of
Scranton by 300 I'lurality.
BOLAXD IS ALSO VICTORIOUS
With Many Districts Vet Missing the
Probabilities at 2:30 O'clock Tills
Morning Pointed to tlio Defeat
of the W hole Republican Ticket.
The n.ost exciting municipal battle
In the blstory of Scranton politics was
fought out at the polls yesterday, ami
the honors rest with the Democracy.
They appeared at 2.80 o'clock this morn
ing to have elected James G. Bailey
mayor by 300 plurality; C. G. Roland,
city treasurer, by 500 and Edmund Rob
inson, controller by 400. They also elect
their assessors by pluralities ranging
from SoO upwards: and liue swept
councils and the board of control. The
vote on the viadu.t question was light,
but that measure seem:; to have lost.
There were few straight ballots cust,
and the ecu.:', in neariy every district
was deluye.l until far lntr the night.
I'p to this writing it was impossible to
give the complete vote of the city In
tabulated forr.i. This will be done In
later edition. At 2 o'clock enthusias
tic Democrats were industriously cele
brating their victory and receiving con
gratulations. The defeat of the Republican ticket
Is ascribed lo the Influence of the
American Protective association, which
voted Its membership to a man against
Colonel Ripple; to Republicans who
had been led through prejudice to de
sert their party, and to the failure of
many Republicans to go to the poll.-.
STORY OP TIIK HATTI.i:.
There u I lord, Lamest I'lghting in All
i Pnrts of the City.
In the central city, where usually an
j election Is carried on without any bustle
or excitement, there was the greatest
evidence nf the bitterness of the flfcht
which was being waged. Every booth
was surrounded all day long by lare
crowds anil a great many carriages
were pressed into service. ICuch party
hud a large force of workers at every
district and In some instances the usual
good feeliiiK which was wont to prevail
J was not in evidence. As In every other
i part of the city, the early voting was re--j
nmrkaiilc. In some of the districts
morn than the normal vote was polled
ul u o ti.Tk. und the inoicutioiis lit that
hour led the hoards to prophesy that a
very large vote would be polled, which
was verified by the returns.
In the First district of the Eighth
ward the hostile feeling was most ap
parent. Or. O'Malley and some others
of the Democrat began the old-fus.b-lotied
and Uestionabl game of whole
sale challenging. The Republicans pro
tested against, this kind of warfare and
llnally were ciuniioled to resort to the
same taction lo bring the I leniocrat ic
workers to time. The controversy be
tween the two sides of the board oc
casioned by these tactics was very
noisy for a time and resulted In crowd
ing the voting place und Undertaker
Hindi's otllce with an excited crowd,
which could not be brought to order un
til police officers were telephoned for
and the place cleared.
linnncll on the Knmpage.
These same tactics were resorted to
In the First district of the Ninth ward
where Doc-tor Dunned made himself
conspicuous and other things. He did
not accomplish anything further than
making himself tired and as evening
came on he slipped Away to take a
much needed rest and to give his fel
low eitixens the same.
One amusing Incident In connection
with the election in this district was
that C. K. Chittenden, the candidate
for select council, found on coining to
the polls that he was not registered
and bud to swear in his ote. It was
thought that owing to Molr disaffection
in this ward that there would be a
great many stay-at-homes:, but much
fo the chngi-in of those who prayed
for such a pass there was a big vote
polled, one of the largpst that has ever
been polled in the ward.
Farther no on the hill, In the Seven
teenth ward, the usual quiet election
occurred. The voters came to the polls,
deposited their ballots and went their
way, stopping only long enough to get
the news. The force of workers here
was not as large as In other districts.
Workers at the Polls.
The character of the men who
manned the polls was another Indica
tion of the Importance which attached
to the election. In the Eighth ward,
First district. Alderman Millar and
Doctor O'AIallev headed the omointr
! forces. In the Second district Fred.
Worrnser and J lin Rose lead the Re
publican staff while the Democrats hud
Colonel Fitzsimmons and a large crowd
of lesser lights to look after their Inter
ests. In the Sixteenth ward, such well
known men as City Controller VVld
mayer. Deputy Sheriff Ferber. Select
Councilman Adam Schroeder. Hon. M.
F. Sando, OnunM- Treasurer C. H.
Schadt and Kd. V nlsh put in the whole
day working for their respective can
didates at the tvo districts.
The viaduct w.is left serenely out of
the question In the central city. Active
and open opposition to It was not so ap
parent but the average voter seemed
to content himself with voting for the
candidates and then to totally Ignore
the "yes" or "no" on the lower margin
of the ballot. Any number of men
confessed. when the subject was
brought up. that they had forgotten al
together about the question on the
bonding of the city.
n-ittle on the South side.
The principal feature of the election
on the South Side was the ex
ceptionally heavy vote polled. In all of
the districts scores of workers were
busy from the time nf opening the polls
In the morning until the last vote was
cast at night; and there was hardly a
j rig. carriage, or spring vehicle avail
able which was not pressed into ser
vice to hi-lnf? the tardy voters out.
With all the enthusiasm that was
rampant there was a singular freedom
from quarrels and aside from a heated
argument here and there among parti
sans whose spirits were stirred up from
Indulgence in the Juice of the grape,
no blows were -truck and no disturb
enees hapepned.
.The tirst district of the Kleventh
ward was the hottest on the South Side.
Dr. Anthony Kolb, who has gained
more or less celebrity as an exponent of
Republican doctrine, was openly op
opposed to the Republican ticket ond
Haunted a big red badge on his coat
with the picture of Candidate Bailey
emblazoned nn It. Similar badges
adorned the lapels of a large committee
of Democrats. Including Fred Kirchoff,
School Controller Conrad, Councilman
Robert Robinson and others. In this
district, which Is the home of Edmund
J. Robinson, candidate for controller,
the largest vote in Its history was
polled.
The Second and Third districts of the
Eleventh ward polled more than their
usual vote, but In them there .was less
shouting done. The workers on both
sides strove energetically, systematic
ally, and there was therefore not much
noise and clatter. The tight here be
tween Robinson and Stone for select
council brought many votes.
The -rib rocked" Prohibition Twelfth
furnished Its regular meed f excite
ment. Constable John C. Moral) was
high ruler of the Democrats. He shouted
himself hoarse Issuing challenges
ugainst every man who came forward
to vote that lnlaht be suspected of hav
ing any Republican tendencies. Mor
gan Sweeney was up to his neck In pur
suit of votes for himself for council.
His opponent was his old adversary,
Henry VV. Coyle. The city ticket was
secondary to the scramble for ward of
llce. Wcstpfuhl Wore a llnllcv Itudse.
The Nineteenth ward Imitated the
-Sample of the Eleventh In the ac
tivity represented by the disgruntled
Republican faction led by C. W. West
pfahl, who wore one of the large red
Kailey budges on his coat and advised
and worked against the Republican
ticket at every opportunity. He did not
cuntine himself to bis own ward, but
rude around in a bnrouche to the other
wards, whooping for I la I ley. Holund
and Robinson. At his heels was a large
contingent of the "reform" element,
who were never known to refuse a
drink. The light between Edwin Fra
ble and Joseoh P. Kramer for select
council was of more Interest thun that
for the city ticket. The returns are
the only Index of what was done by the
voters of the Twentieth ward. Demo
cratic hoodie was growing on the
bushes there. As in the other winds,
the absorbing fight was for ward hon
ors. For weeks past a. bitter war was
waged between the tickets headed by
John Gibbons and Joseph Hanlck. re
spectively. Few men were exempt from
challenge, and before they voted they
had to plunk down the documents en
titling them to the right of suffrage.
The viaduct question was not heard
of at all. A Tribune reporter went to
ill of the South Side districts and failed
to hear one advocate of the Improve
ment declare himself.
In Lackawanna township the fight
for office was especially bitter. It was
necessary for Justice of the Peace
o'Haru to invest a citizen with author
ity to act us peace preserver before
anything like order was obtlned. The
squire himself was threatened with u
blow and It was only after he declared
he would shoot the first man who laid
hands on him that he was let alone.
Richard Cusick. Judge of election In the
South district, has not paid any taxes
In this county in four years and this
caused u good deal of trouble among
many who wanted to oust him. Cusick
was appointed last week by Judge
Arehhald to nil the vacancy caused by
the resignation of Thomas F. Coyne.
About tlio West Side Polls.
U was predicted that the West Side
would be the seine of a terrilie on
slaught on the Republican candidates,
hut such was not the case. There were
a number who openly opposed them,
but the men who were expected to be
the leaders hi the movement were con
spicuous by their absence, while ardent
workers for the success of the ticket
were to be found everywhere.
The viaduct boomers were very much
111 evidence, und the white badges they
wore fluttered In the wind at every
polling place. They were worn by Dem
ocrats and Republicans Indiscriminate
ly, and every mar. who entered a booth
to cast a bullet was asked to remem
ber the viadm-..
The Fifteenth ward was the scene? of
some hot lighting, it is the home of
John II. Fellows and Thomas Duvies,
and was expected to give the Republi
can candidates a severe black eye. The
voters of that ward were not to be
fooled, however, and the number who
proved disloyal to the ticket was not as
large us the kickers expected. There
was a lively fight in thbj ward for se
lect council between Horatio T. Fel
lows and John Wagner. The former
was the Republican candidate and
Wagner the Democratic. .M. J. Gil
bride was also In the field ns an Inde
pendent and was on a lively hunt for
votes .all day.
Interest in the municipal contest over
shadowed all else In the Fifth ward,
where the local contests were not of a
very exciting nature. Democrats were
actively engaged sowing discord in the
hope that Bailey would reap many
votes. Similar tactics were employed
in all of the West Side wards.
I igfit for School Controller.
The main battle was almost If not
fully equalled by the tight for school
controller In the Fourth ward. The
Welsh voters did not take kindly to
Controller James A. Evans' refusal to
pledge himself for George Howell for
superintendent and vowed openly to
support Benson Davis, the citizen
ticket man, who in the former election
came within two votes of defeating
Evans. This gave Davis and his friends,
great confidence und they (.itched in
with a determination to win. They
conducted a sort of hlp-hlp-hooray
campaign and as the result showed It
proved quite effective. In the Third
district, where there are no public
places convenient to the booth, where
the faithful rould run In to get warmed.
Davis and his friends provided a wagon-load
of wood and built a rousing
fire. The tight between Simon Thomas,
the candidate for re-election to the
common council, and his citizen ticket
opponent. John Malia. also aroused
much Interest, notwithstanding the
overwhelming Republican majority of
the ward. Malia succeeded In getting
a third candidate. Samuel L. Koerner,
Into the Held and counted on sliding In
by this ruse. How the respective heads
of the tickets were running was a very
uncertain quantity. It was generally
believed and there was good reason to
think that Ripple was being cut es
pecially" in the back districts of the
ward where the Hriggs shaft element
wanted to make Itself felt. Here also
there was unmistakable evidence of
Democrats voting In large numbers for
Ripple and It was confidently expected
that the head of the Republican ticket
would come out of the Fourth with the
normal majority. -This Is Williams'
ward and as the returns show he was
well treated by his neighbors.
The Fourteenth ward had the .dis
tinction of having a colored candidate
on Its ballot. Alumanzo Porter was the
Republican candidate for constable. It
also hud the distinction,- unenviable,
however, of being divided against Itself
on the viaduct question. The one dis
trict, on the north side of Lackawanna
avenue, was reported during the day as
acting badly towards the viaduct, while
the other district, on the south side of
Lacknwanna avenue, contained nothing
but viaduct boomers. The ward Is
about evenly divided as to Its political
complexion, and as a consequence the
contest for ward ohices created the
greatest Interest. The main tight was
between School Controller T. J. Jen
nings and W. M. Darling, who opposed
him for re-election. Next In point of
Importance was the battle between
Common Councilman Patrick J. Nealls
and David W. Thomas, who wanted to
succeed him. Th-Te was also a pretty
light between G.-orge F. Kellow and
Philip Durkin for the office of alder
man. Contest In the North i:nd
A large vote was polled In the North
End wards, but It was slow In coming
out early In the day. During the after
noon the voters were more plentiful, the
workers more active and the excitement
greater. This was particularly true of
the Third ward, where r desperate local
tight was on between the friends of
John Kearney and those of Professor
Costello. About M o'clock the partisans
of this ward became so heated that they
had to resort to blows to relieve their
surcharged feelings.
In the First ward Finley Ross had
no opposition for select council, and
the tight there wus confined almost en
tirely to the candidates on the city
ticket. There was a ted hot local right,
however, in the adjoining Second ward,
where C. J. von Storch and A. L. Fran
cols were struggling for the office of
school controller. Morris V. Morris and
Patrick F. Gordt n were lighting for
common council h. ihe Second and their
friends made a very earnest battle in
their interests. A large vote was
polled In the Thirteenth ward, which
had the distinction of being the only
ward In the city having a Prohibition
ticket in the field. The Hills all through
the North End were manned by active
purty workers, who gave freely of their
time and energy.to promote the I'nter
ests of their favorite candidates.
Republican and Democratic head
quurters were dremy places during the
day. Both were pnu-tlcally deserted,
all of the nctive party usually found at
these places having gone forth to take
part In the buttle of the ballots.
Towards evening many business and
professional men found their way to
headquurlers In search of news, but
they could be furnished Ith nothing
more satisfactory than the Information
that the Indications were favorable and
that everyone hoped for the best,
lie Had Kellginus Scruples.
Something that has probably never
before occurred in un election In this
city, the refusul of a citizen to swear
In his vole because of religious scru
ples, happened In the Third district of
the Second ward. Attorney D. P. Rep
logle was challenged and to get In bis
ballot was told that he would have to
swear to having paid his taxes and the
like.
Mr. Replogle replied that he would
not subscribe to an oath for the reason
that he was a Quaker und sooner than
take the oath he would forego the exer
cise of his right of suffrage. After u
discussion which lasted off and on for.
nearly two hom-s the board compro
mised the matter by allowing Mr. Rep
logle to make i n affirmative and ac
cepted his ballot.
