School Board sad Csvnell Vtotartet la the aeeend and Third Wards Dtobite the dreat Democratic Assault School District Bonded Indebted ness Increased. The election is over and the people are drawing a sigh of relief, for they neve passed through one of the most tiresome seasons of political agitation in the history of the borough. It cannot lie expected that every body is satisfied with the results, hot there is no doubt all are glad that the battle is over. The Democrats are in high glee over the results and, with faces beaming with smiles, they take great delight in "roasting" the deftmted, but the latter have lived through defeat before and can no doubt do jo again. One of them remarked last night: "I am satisfied to abide the time when the victor ious hand will be bitten by those It fed." The total number of votes east in the borough was 2510. The highest number cast last Spring was 1011. In proportion to the number of votes cast the Citltens-Kenitbllean ticket made a gain, as notwithstanding the' big poll of votes this year Burke's Majority for Tax Collector la but 10 more ilwli the mnjority McKeone had Inst year for High Constable nnd Tabor's is 50 leas. Tlio election passed, off without ft serious disturlianee occurring at any of the polls and it is generally agreed that It could not have been attended by more harmony in view of the importance nnd spirit of the contests for the respective oillcos. It will bo observed in the table of returns for the borough offices that 4 votes, or less than a quarter of one per cent, of the entire vote catrt in tho election, are credited to T. J. Mullahy for Borough Treasurer. These votes were cast in the First and Fourth ward i in the same manner as the votes were cast last spring for Itorough Justices of the Peace, secretly and without any notice to the public that there was such au official to be voted for. It lias since Iteetl explained that, under the same special law governing Justices of tho Peace in boroughs, tho people have a right to vote for Borough Treasurer direct, and thus take the selection out of the Borough Council's hands. It is presumed that Mr. Mullahy will claim that tho four votes elect him and will claim his right to qualify and act In the event of the Supremo Court deciding that the election df Borough Justices lat Spring was legal. Until such tiuio. It Is probable, the Borough Council will claim tho right to appoint a treasurer. " Under tho returns tho Democrats elect A. P. Tabor Chief Burgess; Edward Burke, Tax Cullcctor; Jore.Toomoy, Justlceof thvPoacc; Andrew McDonald, Borough Auditor; and a sufficient number of School Directors, by elections in tho First, Fourth and Fifth wards, to givo them a majority of ono on tbo School Board, By carrying tho Second and Third wards tho Citizons-Kepublicans retain control of the Borough Council by a majority of one and on tho borough ticket elect William U. Shoe maker Justice of tho Peace. Tho vote on tho increase of tho bonded indebtedness for the school district was over whelmingly in favor of It. On tho vote for Borough Justices, Jere.

Chandler's speech In the senate yester day in ndvuciK y of bimetallism was one of the notable efforts of the pres ent session, not only for the scholarly care with which the senator presented the question from his standpoint, bnt for the bitter sarcasm addressed to Senator Palmer and the Indlanstflolls convention, the arraignment of silver Republicans who bolted the St. Louts convention and for the dramatic per sonal exchange between Mr. Chandler and Mr. Pettlgrew, the latter being one of the bolters from the St. Louis convention. Mr. Chandler's speech lasted three hours, and was replete With Incidents. It was an argument against single standard of either metal, Sold or silver, and a warning against a policy of monometallism. Then the senator turned to political phases of the question, speaking In turn of Bryan, of Palmer and of McKInley. Mr. Palmer sat across the aisle and wns fully addressed by the speaker as one who had contributed to the elec tion of MeKlnley. The controversy between Mr. Chand ler and Mr. Petllgrew was one of the hottest personal episodes the senate lias had In some time, the South Da kota senator declaring that Mr. Chand ler's statements relative to the viola tion of ple;d(res at St. Louis were wholly and absolutely false. Mr. Chandler did mt modify his statement, but mu tual -xplar Htinns restored cordial re lations. Thj peroration of Mr. Chand ler was an anpeal to the incoming president and his advisors to heed the needs of the people, particularly on the money question, and a warning of speedy political disaster certain to fol low delay.
