polls count the ballots and ascertain the number of votes cast in such
ward or precinct for each of the candidates, and make return thereof to
the City Clerk, upon blanks to be furnished by said City Clerk before
noon of the following day. On the return day following the said pri-
mary election, the said City Clerk shall canvass said returns so received
from, all wards or precincts, and shall make and publish in all the daily
newspapers of said city, at least once, the results thereof. Said canvass
by the said City Clerk shall be publicly done. The two candidates re-
ceiving the highest number of votes for Mayor shall be the candidates,
and the only candidates, whose names shall be placed upon the ballot for
Mayor at the following general municipal election; eight candidates re-
ceiving the highest number of votes, or all such candidates if less than
eight, shall be the candidates, and the only candidates, whose names shall
be placed upon the ballot for Councilmen at such municipal election.
