YESTERDAY'S ELECTION
A Very Interesting Fight in Both Wards for
High and Ward Constable
Eli Williams Defeats Wm. Donaghy for High Constable-=Andrew
Weidman Had a Close Call for Ward Constable in the
East End==Jac. Fissel Defeats Chas. Culp.
Although there was little opposition at yesterday’s election, it was very interesting. In the East End
it was nip and tuck between Andrew Weidman, the Republican candidate and Ed Henry, who was runn-
| ing independent, but the former pulled through by the narrow margin of two votes.
In the West Ward,
| Jacob Fissel defeated Charles Culp. Although the latter was supported by several Republicans, his party
and the “‘floaters,” Fissel was victorious by a majority of 43 votes.
Williams and Donaghy is also worthy of note.
