Reading Matter on Every Page.
EMERY SWEEPS THE CITY u!
Overwhelming Reform Triumph!
Majority in Every Ward !

As we go to press with this edition at five
O'Clock, the election is progressing quietly In
every ward, and the indications are that Emery
will be elected by handsome majority. The
eolored voters, and voters of foreign birth, to
whom the Bowen ring have made such frantic
appeals, are voting for Emery to an extent
scarcely hoped for by the most sanguine Reform
ers.
Bets are freely offered az we go to pre- s. tn At
Emery viii carry every ward in the city except
the Second, and some bets have even been made
upon that Ward.
1t Is claimed by good judges that the First
Ward will give Emery $50 majority; the Third
Ward 700 majority; Fourth Ward $50 majority;
Fifth Ward 80 majority; Sixth Ward 515 ma
jority Seventh Ward 900 to 200 majority.
An even bet was made in the Seventh Ward
this morning that Bowen would not get 500
votes in that Ward. While we hope that the
majorities will fully come up to this mark, we
trust that no Emery voter viii keep away from
the polls with the idea that his vote win not be
needed. We want to make Emery,s majority
so large that the vilainous ring will not dare to
attempt TO cheat him out of his seat.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1870-06-06
WON'T BET!

The Bowen men accepted few bets early in
the morning, more TO show a bold front than
anything else, bat as the intelligence began to
circulate from one ward to another Of the way
the Emery vote was piling up, and especially OF
the superb manner in which the colered voters
were coming up to the support of the Reform
ticket, the Bowenites lost all heart and could
not be induced to take bet at any odds.
At one O'Clock Mr.. John p. Hilton was on a
sharp hunt for any Bowenite willing to risk any
money on the Great Bogus. Hilton offered
$1,000 to $500 that Emery would be elected, and
also offered $50 to anybody who would get the
bet taken. No takers.

The Cattle Trnde.

The San Antonia Herald Of the
goth says: There are parties now
in our city employing hands for
driving cattle to Kansas; and two
or three agents lately pissed thrO'
here engaged in the interest Of the
beef packing and the freezing e.
Establishments on the coast and in
the lower counties. The amount
of cattle that will be driven from
Western Texas this season will be
unprecedented by any former year.
Those employing hands are paying
good wages in specie, and they ex-
pect to got good hands,
We had the pleasure of meeting
a day or two ago, a party from the
neighborhood of johnson county,
who has been engaged in the cattle
trade for several years past. He
states that it is in his intention to
start within q short time from
johnson coanty overland to Cali
fornia with herd Of about 1000
cattle. Driving slowly so as not
to injure the animals, the journey
will probably occupy six months
time, From the same source we
learn that about 10000 cattle were
transported from johnson county
to California overland last year
In Texas the cattle cost about $40
per head, and it is estimated they
will bring about $50 to 800 when
they reach the Pacific, provided
they are properly cared for on the
o. Price Current.
