DUNHAM, Its Entire Ticket---Hot Con- test at the Polls Waverly—When the result of the South Waverly election was announced last evening there was a great “surprise for the Union party. The Municipal Reform ticket had elected their burgess and two councilmen in the face of the fact that the betting had been 2 to 1 against them all day. The total vote was 236, almost double that of any other election in the history of the borough. 2 Nearly 50 men worked all day long at the polls and there were many battles of words, and ia one | case fists were resorted to as al means of settlement. The Union party succeeded in electing their candidates for the minor cffices._ The following was the vote: Judge of election, Amos Dilts, both tickets, 191; justice of the peace, Banjamin Rumsey, both tickets, 184. Inspector of election, Eugene Blossom, R. 104; Jas. Morrison, U., 94. Chief burgess, Patrick C. Connelly, R , 127; Rich: Fahey, U, 94. Councilman, M.
