THE ELECTION.

As usual, we have rainy day for the battle,
though the storm is not heavy enough TO keep
any voter at home.
We are glad to report the supremacy of order,
almost without exception. There has been no
Sighting, and the GRO wds around the polls are not
90 large as expected, partially because of the
weather. Our reporters have gathered the fol.
lowing facts ann rumors:
FIRST WARD.

looks as though Brown. present Alderman, the Rum
and Liquor candidate, would be reelected. Tue vote
is heavy. For Mayor the Hards are voting Hunt,
though Wood will have a majority. Barker is not
much heard of Seymour il getting very heavy
vote.

splits are in the field. For Mayor the division Is
about even Probably Seymour will have majority
for Governor
THIRD WARD.
This old Wing Ward it is said, will give majority
for Seymour, Rum. and Wood. There is an animated
canvass, and any quantity Of intrigue and bumbug.

EIGHTH WARD.
The voting in this at one time very turbulent Ward,
goes on quietly. The Democrats scratch Wood very
much and give their votes chiefly to Hunt. Barker

Rather more than the usual number of votes were
polled during the forenoon.

Ballots here are very much mixed up. The Wood
men are particularly scarce; while the Temperance
