There were a of surprises on the list, needless to say, weepies and gnashing: of teeth were to be heard every side. The Mayor- elect-has kept his council and little was known of the he himself announced them. Probably no one was more surprised at the results than those who had been most active in supporting 'Mr. "Ward's candidacy, and it is said by those who know that not only were the light like Mike Crbnin. and Ned Fry Ignored, but the lords of the corner, themselves, were given to understand that, they would have little from the administration and that Mr.
