nair, Martinez, Ferrier, Duke and
Arnaud were indorsed for the posi
tions to which they had been already
nominated, and the following new
names presented :
For Collector-FELIX LEBLANC,
" Constable--H. C. GRUBE.
" Alderman, First Ward, in opposition
to Bentley-J. B. RODRIGUE.
For Alderman, Second Ward, in opposi
tion to Ross-SEVERIN RICARD.
With such a number of candidates
and the absence of any well defined
political issue, it is not strange that
a " mixed ticket" has been elected.
A large number of voters were guid
ed by personal preferences alone in
casting their ballots, and there was
abundance of " scratching" on all
kinds of tickets.
As only two of the nomineespn the
People's Ticket were defeated, we
think the parties who were instru
mental in placing it in the field are
justified in crowing a little longer and
a little louder than any body else.
