~ m. perhaps half the votes in the wart
were polled.
There were two tickets In the field

O'Brien Cor Workingmen' 's) ticket. An
immense amount of scratching was
I done, more SO than IN any other
ward, four. five and ak namee
being frequently scratched. As the
two tickets kept very nearly even during
the race, It was thought that with these
Hcratchings the result would be u mixed
4 get of delegates, with probably the
O'Brien men ahead say six or seven,
to four or three of the citizens or
Curry ticket.
The two tickets are an follows.
