Smaller Is Happy. As favored in the betting the entire administration with its powerful organization went through intact, shown g that the party is well satisfled for the most part with the Pmal -happily rule. Today the mayor is the happiest man in Hammond, thankful that his friends were true friends and his opponents gentlemen. "The doctor and the judge are good men and the fight was clean," he said. "If I am elected I will give Hammond the best four years of my life and the best administration that I can." And he said !t as If he meant it. The Downfall of Paarally. The defeat of Alderman rascally by Burns in the third ward; a clerical error which held back the votes in the second pr cinct of the sixth ward and the race for the judgeship furnished plenty of sensation for the extras Saturday night. The central city committee havinar decided to count the votes from East Hammond, the second rf the sixth, it was found that It made no difference to the ticket except In the aldermanie race from that ward. Had it been thrown out Judge Barnett would have had a lesser plurality. The clerk neglected to properly sign the ballots. Deny That They are Spilt. Harmony workers were out this merging predicting that the entire party would unite on Smalley this fait.

One candidate for Judge claim that he was defeated because another's r.ame happened to begin with ,K" and sound life his. John Gavit lost $100 to Hitton on the bet that Howat would run third and the other big bet3 are being collected today. The democrats have at least something to talk about for a few days to come.
