CITY ELECTION.
Returns by Wards—Only a Light
Vote Polled.
Tuesday was an ideal election day and according to all prece-
dents there should have been a hot time in the city of Denton, but
the heat failed to make its appearance. About the only indications
of election day was that the drink shops had their front doors closed
and the colored population seemed to be pretty well supplied with
cigars that had never been smoked. A lew of the candidates for
aldermen and school trustees were doing a little quiet work, but the
prospective salaries failed to bring them up to a real vigorous work-
ing point. Below we give the tabulated returns <»f the vote in the
different wards in the city.
