A Close Vote in Jersey City on the Mayor- alty—Slight Gains tor the Democracy. The charter election in Jersey City yesterday passed of very quictly. The vote polled was com- paratively ligut, owing chiefly to the fact that, as the elective municipal officers have been shorn of nearly all power by the Legislature and as the city 18 roled by commissions appointed by the same Legisiatore, 1t mattered very little to the taxpayers whether a republican Board of Alaermen or a democratic might be elected. The vote on the Mayoralty however, was very significant. Although Jersey City contains two thousand democratic ma- jority the contest between Mayor (Neill aud his re- |. | publican opponent Mr. Qualie was very close. Quaife, @ poor though worthy man, was placed head .of his ticket merely to fill the gap because the nomination was refused by such men as Gregory, Eye and Vanderbeek. Either of these geutiemen would certainly have been elected, while Jacob Wearb, the most po) ular fepublican in the city, would have carried @ major- ity of 1,000, As the verdict o: the plundered tax- Payers this 18 very instructive. fhe #1X Aidermanic disiricis, five of which were republican last year, show losses to the republicans im every disirict, but they have certainly elected seven Out of the twelve Aldermen. There ts a probability that they Lave elected another in addi- ton. The Second districti—the famous ‘Horse- shoe”—is alone strongly democratic. Old Jesse Wandie obtainea a ucket-of-leave in tue Filth, | although he worked zealously for the ring at ‘Trenton. ‘The returns up to midnight showed a very small majority for Mayor 0’ Ne Hoboken Charter Elections. ‘The issues were chiefly personal, there being no Jess than thirty different tickets in the field, The contest was so close that it is difficult to name the successful candidates, ‘The judges and Clerks.of elecuon cannot complete their labors vetore | this afternoon. There was no opposition to F. L. Scumersani for Mayor or to A. Kroiimann for Col- lector of Revenue. The elected oficers will be gen- erally democrats, and wilt probably be members of | the oT, of the loaves apd iishes, The poll was unusually light, a8 were algo the rows and disor- derly assemblages. Essex County Elections, ‘The returns from the townstips in Essex county sbow considerable democratic gains, Clinton, ad- joining Newark, sends a solid democratic ticket into office, reversing the political complexion of the town last year. The vote was light, the average majority being only about twenty-five.
