taldo, who, on his arrival-nnding the whit
naa largely in the majority K
talk every big" without, however, any result
Is he was promptly convinced that suct
doings were very wrong
Syphers men are working hard, and fixing
up tickets in the latest patented manner. The
trick has, however, been discovered, and
measures to circumvent it have been taken.
Fourth Ward.
| Everywhere we learn of an increased vote in
the lower wards. In the Fourth Ward, in the
/ rear, the negroes are voting strongly, but
many are polling the Democratic ticket, and
it is stated Sypher is behind. There has been
no disturbance anywhere in the ward, and the
probabilities are that the day will bo most
quiet The white people are -allying in force,
many voting who never before attended the
polls, and we are assured of complete victory
there
Fifth Ward.
In the front portion Of this ward the white
majority will be very large, more than MURAL
izing whatever may be polled in the rear. The
utmost quiet prevails and the negroes are
peaceably handing in their ballots without
hindrance. There was some splitting for
minor Offices, but, on the whole, the straight
Democratic ticket led handsomely.
Sixth Ward.
The quiet, so marked all over the city, was
here observable. Although the crowds about
the polls was quite large, there was no dispo-
sitioE to create any disturbance. The Sixth
Wara will showa Conservative majority We are
assured
Seventh Ward.
A visit to the different polling booths here
proved that, although hitherto this ward has
been Radical, this time the Conservatives may
expect to carry it. A large number of negroes
have voted our ticket and there is a strong
tendency to leave Sypher out The vote will
probably be larger than ever before, every
white citizen turning out.
Eighth Ward.
There was considerable log-rolling here, but
with little or no effect. The whites solidly
polled the green tickets, Notwithstanding the
fact that there were some strong workers try
ing to push split tickets on those who were
not sharp enough to detect it.
Our representative visited the several polls
and found everything quiet. Good news was
heard on all sides, and the day will be one to
be remembered. Here We also heard of many
negroes voting with the whites.
Ninth Ward.
This staunch Democrntic battle ground was
lively this morning, the turn out of the
whites extremely large and voting rapid.
The negroes in the rear were early at the
polls, but were quiet We are satisfied that it
will return very heavy majority for the Con
servatives, greater than ever before. From
Canal street to the Barracks everything looks
brilliant, and we can congratulate our people
On what will be in the parish Ct Orleans
victory.
Tenth Ward.
party vote is being polled, and q very
heavy one is being cast The whites are far
Ihead.
Eleventh Ward.
The same as stated above of the Tenth Ward |
an be said Of this ward, though there are |
lumber Of colored men voting with their
White employers.
Twelfth and Thirteenth Wards.
Everything quiet and voting lively.
Throughout the city there were scattered
nd placed on posts and fences, a number Of
mail hand bills with picture of skull and
ross-bones, beneath which was the inscrip-
ion, 2 by 6. Another Radical trick on which
o base cry Of intimidation.
