At u O'Clock m. the lines az all the precincts
were much shorter, the trst precinct line being
the longest, but the prospect is that al viii
have an opportunity TO get their votes An. At
the above hour AZ ballots had heen received At
the FIRST precinct, $50 at the second, 2.g II the
third, $40 az the fourth, and 80 az the fifth.
Several Rew tickets are i'm the held. The name
Of H. NJ Knight, for Alderman, is on the
Bowen ticket, and also on the Emery ticket.

first precinct, Seventh Ward, was 65a. The
work progresses here very slowly, and IL As feared
some 30 in the line, All Is quiet with the ex-
ception OF some loud talk and laughter.
At the second precinct 42O votes had been
polled at two O'Clock. All quiet and the voters
coming up slowly.
-Four hundred and one votes had been re-
ceived az the third precinct At 2 O'Clock, and
there are about twenty voters in the line.
At the fourth precinct at this hour 4q3 votes
had been received. No one has TO wait here.
The nth precinct is nearly through voting.
Probably not more than htty OF sixty more
votes will be Polled here. No one Is standing
about.
