Now lot's plant a tree. Even Wilkinson in the Fitst. Councilman Pasewnlk of the Second. "Bill" Lowe ran like a house afire , without a pace-maker. There are a number of democrats who could stand it no longer. If Mayor Koonigsteiu had not at tempted an explanation Few of them care to acknowledge that they are democrats this morning. Al. Johnson says if they had let his poster'alone results might have been different. The entire country , with the except ion of the Fourth ward , seems to have gene republican. Norfolk's Tammany Hall has been retired , perhaps not permanently , but for the time being. MoFarland's majority of a year ago was cut down some , but it was still the largest of them all. The new administration will be in full effect after the first of May , which is not a weary wait. Some of the voters had evidently read Mayor Koenigstein's card of declination and thought ho meant it , The weather clerk didn't furnish snow , but there was quite a precipita tion of ballots in Norfolk. With'a blizzard in North Dakota the people of Nebraska could scarcely ask anything better than a cool zephyr from the north. Matrau and Walker were pulled out of the wreck by the democrats but oven the republicans concede that they are good men. President Roosevelt's invasion of the west has aroused Mr. Bryan and he proposes to take a swing around the circle in the east. "Better sidewalks and moro light" was as effectual as Murk Hanua's "Lot well enough alone , " or the democrats' 'Four more years of Grovor. " "Tom" Johnson was again elected mayor of Olo.voland , Ohio , by an in creased plurality. Ho may not bo able lor the winter , will soon be in evidence. It is up to the business men ar d residents of Norfolk to clean the rubbish 'rom ' about their promises and give the city a presentable appearance for the summer. The legislature showed wise judgment u devoting but $85,000 of the public money to an exhibit at the St. Louis exposition. With that amount of money the state should bo able to make a display that would attract as much attention as would be given to ono pro duced at a cost of many times that sum. t does not provide as much for junkets and fat salaries , but the commissioners should show that they have the welfare of the state as much at heart as the leg- slaters and should make every penny count for Nebraska. If the public reasury was full to overflowing a arger appropriation would have been proper and right , but in the present cou dltion of the state's finances the uro did all that could be asked.

Hazeu , republican candidate , was elected mayor of Norfolk yesterday , to serve during the year following May 1. There were 7(10 ( ballots cast on the head of the ticket , fifty-two moro than last year. The entire republican ticket with the exception of ono member of the school board and council man in the Fourth ward , was elected throughout. Not for many years has the interest in a municipal election been BO intense as it was yesterday. It was pretty nearly a oloau sweep , and an eminent victory for the republicans. IX J. Koonigsteiu , the democratic nominee for mayor , was running for a third term. Two years ago ho was elected by a majority of 211. Laht year that surp.uH was cut to thirty- six by his brother , Jack. This year liu ran forty-four in the lurch. S. R. MoFarland received the largest majority on thu ticket , although his load of other years was considerably re duced by Julius Hulil' . Last year hln majority was 224 and this time it was out to 1)1. ) Hullf received a largo vote in the Third ward. A great deal of interest centered in the couucilmon. In the First ward , where the democrats won lust year by a majority of 77 , Dr. G. W. Wilkinson was elected by five votes. In the Second , which is always close , H. A. Pasewalk was elected by a major- , ty of eleven. Last year the ward went democratic by a vote of fourteen. The Third about played oven on last year's record for councilman , electing A. H. Kiesuu with a majority of thirty- one where Tyler , republican was elected last year with thirty-eight to spare. In the Fourth ward the vote always goes democratic and gave Walker a majority of fifty-throe. On the school board H. 0. Matran re ceived the highest vote , and succeeds himself. W. H. Johnson succeeds S. G. Dean. Hazen received a majority in but ono ward , the Third , but this load of ninety- nine was too great so bo overcome by Koeuigstein. It was clear early in the day yesterday that Huzeu would bo the man. Democrats conceded his election in the afternoon and estimates as to his majority put it all the way from forty to 120. The election of Robert Utter for treasuior was a big swing. Carl Wilde , democrat , was elected last year by a majority of ninety-two and this year ho was beaten by eleven. W. H. Lowe had no opposition for engineer. Never before have men stood in such thick squads at a merely mnuioi- ial election as characterized the streets of the city all day yesterday. Carriages were wheeling everywhere with the great banners of the different parties ipon them , and business was in many nstances given up for the battle with ho ballots. Throngs of anxious voters gathered about the counting tables at the differ ent polling places immediately after the ) exes were closed , and many of them stayed until the chalking up was complete. Mayor Hazen , as soon as it was clear hat he was elected , received dozens of friends in his office , who were all eager o congratulate him upon the signal victory. Mr. Hazen was elected upon the plat- orm adopted by the republican conven- ion. Ho has nothing whatever to Bay at present , but it is generally under- teed that the platform will be rigidly enforced. Following are the complete returns : Candidate ) lit 2ud 3rd 4th Ttl Ma ] 41 ei 12 Clint Smith at Madison. Madison , April 8.
