be a square stand up and kno k down, so to
speak, Oetweeu ftiiton and Atkins. Neither
side would tolerate a third candidate. The t

Fulton received 3.324, aud Mr Atkins 2,-99.
The total vote returned as cast for Mavor

In the Eleventh Ward Fulton gained ninety

while Atkins lost sixty-two v tes as
compared witu the same returns.
This wan the wa-d that Fulton main'ained be-

out because of ap arent fraud in the returns,
as he claimed. Many people apprehended
difficulty during the day, but no -erious dis

which a man lia-t an ey- knocked out, and was
otherwise badly bruised.

A lrge crowd gathered in f ro'it of the Wash

speech. Aftr this. the crowp
formed in line, and with " brass
band marched through the principal
streets of the city. The friends and supporters
o' Atkins are greatly disappointed at the de-

beeu held, thero are oeonle who continue to
regard the matter as unsettled. An interview
published in the News this morning, with Al
derman Sherwood, chaii man of the Cominitiee
of tne Whole of the lily Council caused
general Mirprise. Sherwood says he did not

a legal one, a vacancy being a necessury quali

not publicly expressed bv anv memoer of the

has just been held. Hence the voters were

the Eleventh Ward returns of that e.ection, as
they did in the Cuuey-Allen Akiermanic con

is concurred in by several other Alder
men, the election of May 11th is simply
to . be utilized . by the Council
a basis upon which to arrive
at a conclusion as to what whs the actual vote

Bowels or Stomach, they are specific.
