THE RESULT IN DETAIL BY WARDS
All the Wards Except the First Re
pudiates the Democracy and Turn
Down Their Branches of Govern
mentA Full and Official
Account of the Battle.
The losal Democracy is in deep mourn
ing. Wherever ii house shelters a man
n the town who rejoices in the boast "I
am a Democrat," in toat house you will
And tear-stained faces and red, swollen
eyes. The local Tiger has ju received a
fearful drubbing. There is not enough of
hU tall left for him to draw under his
body and sneak away with. It has been
cut off close to the body ana the stump is
represented by William McGuire, Frank
Hanna and Patrick Conners, the only
Democrnts who succeeded In escaping the
cyclone. The stump is practically a use
less appendage, and what little wagging
it may he able to do will not have much
bearing on the local government for the
next year at least, unless some of the
Citizens elected yesterday turn traitor to
the party, and there does not appear to
be the remotest possibility of that, as all
the men elected to both the Borough
Council and School Board bear credeu
tlals endorsing them as being comtltuted
of entfVely dilferent material.
The election was a clean sweep for the
Citizens party. Both the Borough Coun-
cil and School Board have been wrested
from Democratic hands, that party having
failed to' carry the necessary number of
wards to hold its majority. It elected a
Councilman In only one ward, the First,
and landed but two School Directors,
Frank lianna In the First and Patrick
Conners in the Fourth. The latter got in
by the closest kind of a margin, his ma
jority over Henry. I.. Jones, the Citizens
candidate, being but eight.
The Oght in the First ward was a bitter
one and all the successful candidates were
elected by reduced majorities. This ward
was really the only sept of dirty politics
duriug the day. Blackguardism pre
vailed to au unlimited extent and ttrtet
fltflits were numerous. Between Ave
and six p. m. there were, by notunl count,
four street encounters that threatened to
culminate in very serious all'iiirs, but
fortunately some people about the poll
hud the good tense to restrain thom&elves
and turn their attention to quelling the
disturbances. One arrest was niAde dur
Ing a fight after the poll closed. Patrick
Ho.ve, Jr., was the man arrested. He
made n bitter struggle agaiust Officer
AVnlultis and Constable Giblln and was
landed under lock and key only after his
olothlnc had beeu torn luto shrewds. He
is serving time in the lockup.
The result In the Second ward was a
surprUe even to the most enthusiastic
Citizen's patty people. They had figured
that Magurgle, Boehtu and Price would
be elected by good majorities, but they
did not dream the surplus would run
near the Agurea shown by tho returns.
F. E. Magargle, the Citizens oaudl
date for the three-year term in
Council against P. J. Ferguson, re
ceived the highest vote in the ward, 309,
but John P. Boehm, tho Citizens candl.
date for the one.year term in Council
against Col. J. K. P. Schelfly, received the
highest majority, 115. This majority Is
the highest given any candidate In the
ward in Ave years. James B. Lessig, who
was then running for Chief Burgess the
Arst time, received b majority of 140- But
Boehm's majority U the more surprising
bCHU'e he had a much harder Aght to
ulake than Lessig had on hand.
Tho result in the Third ward was a
glorious victory for the Citizens party.
Considering the Aght put up against
Davl 1 B. James, the candidate of the
party for election to tie B-jrough Coun
cil, his majority is a marvelously good
one. There are many features about the
vlbtnry that make it one of the best
appreciated of the numerous good ones.
Mr. James made n hard and gallant
Aght for the nomination and won
It fair, but notwithstanding this
people of his own- party turned
in with the enemy on election day
and exerted all their energies to defeat
him. Fortunately these people were not
as influential in the ward as they sup
posed they were. The light agoinst Mr.
James originated from many standpoints,
none of which were presentable to the
judgment of the Intelligent voters. It
hinged on self-interest in some in
stances and a spirit of revenge in
others.
One part of the Aght was
because Mr. James cham
the cause of Constbale
made
pldned
Thomas Tosh when that gentleman was
Beciklng an appointment under Sheriff
Scott. The result of the election gave a
quietus to the reaching out of Bome people

s lperintendency of the plant, at least.
will depart from one quarter where it
was much coveted.
xne i ourtn waru was looked upon as
doubtful, and it came out of thetampaign
in its usual mixed shape. A. D. Gable,
the Citizens candidate for reelection to
Council, received on unusually large
majority, but Henry L. Jones, the Citi
zens candidate for school Director, met
dnfeat. Several people of that ward are
to the front with explanations that Mr.
Jones brought about his own defeat by
indiscrete work, through which he lost a
number of Democratic votes he would
ht.ve lfcceived under other circumstances.
Be that as it may, the evidence is clear
that all the Republicans of that ward did
not respond to the call of duty. Mr. Jones
was stabbed in what he considered the
house of his friends. A careful computa
tion shows that he was cut by at least
eighteen Republicans. He was only beaten
by eight votes, and it can be readily seen
that had he received the full support of
his party he could have easily spared the
Democratic compllmentaries.
It can be truthfully said that the Citi
zens victory in the Fifth ward was not a
surprise. The election of Klchard Reese,
cue uiuzens candidate lor uouucll, was
looked upon as almost a certainty during
the past ten days, aud the election of
Thomas S. James, the Citizens candidate,
was looked upon as something more
than a possibility. The correctness of
these forecasts is confirmed by the
returns, Mr. Reese's majority exceed
ing that secured by Mr. James by
17 votes. Mr. Reese was looked upon
as the stronger cundidate because of his
much greater political experience in the
ward, the fact that there was a split iu
the Democratic ranks, and because Harry
Muldoon.the Democratic candidate for n-
elejilou to the School Board, is u very
strong and popular muu in his ward. The
fcp'.lt In the Democratic party was not
counted upon as in favor of Mr. James
lo the extent that it would work iu favor
of Mr. Beese, localise it originated prin
cipally from the defeat of K. J. Gullagber
when he sought the Democratic re nom
linitton for Council, and It was not ex
pected that Mr. Gallagher's friends would
turu as muoli strength to the aid of the
Citiitcns party on the School Board Aght
as they would to get even on the Couu-
cllmanlo question,
The result of the election is that when
the Borough Council organizes lu Murch
the controlling power, In the absence of
any bartering, will pass over to the Citi
zens party, and they will have 8 votes
against 7 for the Democrats. Aud the.
result of the election also changes the
political complexion of the School Board
When that body organizes in June next,
the Citizens party will have control by a
vote of 0 to 0.
The Citizens party made a sweep so far
ns the eleotlon of the borough tioket was
concerned. The interest manifested in
this part of the eleotlon was by no means
as groat as that created by the contests
for Borough Council and School Board,
aud at limes it seemed to be almost en
tlrely lost to sight.

FIRST WARD
OUTRAGE
Preparations Made to Prosecute the
Election Board.
AN EXAMPLE TO BE MADE.
No
Effort to Upset the Returns All
Enerpy Will be Directed to Pro
viding: Future Security.
Within tho next twenty-four hours
some sensational developments may be
expected as a result of yesterday's elec
tion in the First ward. The Indignation
created by the ejectment from the poll in
that ward of Messrs. Maurice Moirlson
nod Frank C. Iteese, the Overseers ap
pointed by the court, has In no way di
minished and the court will be called
upon to take cognizance of the matter.
A meeting of several prominent Repub
licans was held last night and after a
lengthy consideration of the charges made
by the Overseers it was decided to at once
employ counsel nnd proceed against the
election board. There nre other charges
which the prosecutors are not inclined to
particularize at present.
It is quite certain that within a few
days the members of the election board
will be arrested on general charges of
violating the election laws, with the star
case hinging on the ejectment of the
Overseers. The latter case Is far more
serious than many suppose. It it Is sus
tained It will render the offenders liable
to the law providing against Jnterference
with election nAlcers, and the punishment
on conviction can go as high as one year's
imprisonment, or $1,000 fine, or both, in
the discretion of the conrt.
T. R. Beddall, Esq., was retained as
counsel last night and this morning be
went to Pottsvllle and consulted with
Judge Bechtel on the status of the case
so far as the board's disregard of the
Judge's order appointing the Overseers.
Republicans in all the wards have
taken an interest in tho case and have de
cided to lend any assistance that may be
required ot tnem to push the case to n
finish. It is not likely thnt any attempt
will be made to overthrow the returns of
the ward in question. This has been dis
cussed and the prevailing sentiment is
that the results would not be worth
the trouble. The object is in no
way intended to change the re
sult, but to try and break up
the arrogant methods by which the Dem
ocrats ot the First ward conduct elec
tions. It is claimed that the Republicans
and Citizens are absolutely powerless
there, and that at any time they attempt
to assert their rights they ore either
grossly insulted and blackguarded, or
subjected to violence. By a vigorous
prosecution of the present caie it is iu
tended to make fetich an example of the
board that it will deter others who may
act as election officers in that ward from
conducting elections in the usual high
handed manner.
It U understood the board claims that
the regularly appointed Overseers did nqt
appear nt the poll in time, and that others
were appointed in their stead. How such
an appointment will stand against the
.order of the court is not difficult to de
termine.

Special to EvENtNO Herald.
Philadelphia, Feb. 20. The idol of the
Pennsylvania Democracy is shattered.
The Republican votersof this city yerter
day elected City Solicitor Charles F
Warwick Mayor over nx-Governor Robert
E Pattison by an overwhelming majority.
W.J. Roney, the Republican candidate
for Receiver of Taxes, was also elected.
The official count o' the re' urns is not
complete, but conservative estimates
place it at 50,000.
Prominent Democrat agree that e
Governor Pattison's presidential aspira
tions nre shattered. He made agrlevtous
error in allowing himself to be hood
winked by "Boss" Hnrrity into accept
Ing the Mayoralty nomination, and now
that he has been defeated he finds
humility heaped upon bU bad judgment.
Had the ex-Governor rested upon his
honors won iu the city of Philadelphia
and as having twice been Governor of 'h"
Commonwealth, he would have gone be
fore tho next Democratic national con
vention as the strongest possible candi

friends must admit that his last cam
paign has killed such chances.
