ELLIS E. GOODALE

In the fifth ward the name of Mr. Goodale had been placed on the ticket for alderman by the silver Republicans and Democrats, and in the election that followed he was successful by a majority of more than two hundred, this being the largest majority ever given in the ward. The circumstance is more noteworthy owing to the fact that he was the only man elected on the two tickets who was not also the candidate on the taxpayers’ ticket.
