Postmaster George A. Hlbbard, repub lican, defeated Mayor John F, Fitz gerald, democrat, who was a candi date for re-election. The revised returns show the fol lowing vote cast for the ] mayoralty candidates: John A. Coulthurst, Inde pendence league, 15,871; Fitzgerald, democrat, 35,054; Hlbbard, republican, 38.067. .The city voted to license saloons by a majority somewhat smaller than in previous years. Two features contributed notably to the return of a republican mayor after six years of democratic administra tion, one being the heavy vote given to the independence league candidate by democrats and the other the thor ough investigation made by a finance commission into the affairs at the city hall, in which evidence has been brought forth alleging ; irregularities in the purchase department and in the granting of contracts, through which, it was claimed, . the city had lost hun dreds of thousands of dollars.

The changes In Lynn, Hav erhill and Worcester are regarded by the temperance advocates as the great est victories, in this state since the local option law has been in , effect. Local campaigns of unusual strength against liquor selling have been the immediate causes of the revolution.
