running all day engaged in bringing in voters,
Several young ladies acted as aids in the tenn
perauce cause at Ward 2. and rendered effective
service in distributing "no" ballots. The vote
which was gathered at ono o'clock, and bulle-
tined, was so close that neither side could feel
sure of victory. At four O'Clock the polls closed,
and almost Immediately after a large crowd
gathered in front Of the city hall, eager to get
the correct returns. The result of the
vote in the several wards was obtained
in few moments aud announced on bulletin
in front of this office. The crowd greeted the
announcement with few scattering cheers and
gradually dispersed. In the afternoon rumors of
illegal voting in ward four were current upon
the street; but close inquiry aud comparison
of the number of names checked on the list,
with the votes cast as announced by the ward
officers, failed to develop any proof of such
proceeding.
The question voted on was as foows "Shall
any person be allowed to manufacture, sell, or
keep for sale ale, porter, strong beer, or lager
beer, in this cityP
