574 - L Apr. 26:4/4 - Yesterday, according to the soldiers' voting law, the
time for the reception of soldiers' votes for the last city election expired.
No soldiers' votes for this election have been received, either by the county
or city clerk, and, indeed, as far as is known, none have ever been cast.
The returns from the various wards were opened and counted yesterday morn-
ing. . They agree so nearly in all respects with the returns which we pub-
lished the morning, after the election that it is not worth while to repro-
duce them in detail. We give the total vote for water works commissioner
and justice of the peace. Water works commissioner - Willam B. Castle
(Union) 3,730, Morrison Foster (Democrat) 2, 154. - - -
Justice of the peace • George Hester (Union) 3,682, J. S. Allen (Democrat)
2, 149, total majority l, 533. -
The Union nominees for constables were all elected.
On the proposition to annex a part of Brooklyn to the city, the vote was
as follows: For annexation, 4, 171; against annexation, 11.
The successful candidates for assessors, trustees, the board of education,
have already been correctly given. - - - -
On May 2 the first meeting of the new council wiil be held, at which the
newly elected members will be inaugurated, the city offices filled, and the
usual annual business transacted. - (5)
