Meetings in favor of the completion of
the road we're held last night in the First,
Third, Tenth, Twelfth, Fourteenth and
Twentieth Wards.
In the Second Precinct those opposed to
the road adopted the following:
Resolved That the citizens of the
Twentieth Ward are opposed to he further
issue of bonds for Southern Railroad pur-
poses while the present Trustees have
charge of the road"
The Workingmen held a meeting last
evening at Fountain Square against the
Trustees and the road. Speeches were made
by Mr. Ehrman, Mr.. John Mcintosh and
Mr.. Gloganer Afterwards they resolved
upon jont meeting, when speeches in ia
vor of the road were made by Mr.. ]. T.
Redman, Master Mechanic of the Southern
Road, and Mr.. Theodore Clements, and
against the road by Mr.. W. F. Haines of
Newport, Mr. Sol. Ruthenberg, Mr.. Phil.
Van Patten and Mr.. Ed. Hoffman.
In travelling over the various wards this
morning and this afternoon we arrived at
the conclusion that the people would with
an overwhelming majority grant the loan
of So, 600, 900 bonds for the completion of
the road.
1t looks as if all hostility had now died
out, except in few German wards.
The result OF our tramp shows that
the yes ticket will undoubtedly be sue
cessful.
First Ward-In the Precincts A, B, G,
the vote in last May was in favor of the
100000 by a majority of 1874 votes. In
Precinct D, the Noes had majority of
II votes.
To-day there is scarcely any "No" ticket
being polled, and big Eyes" majority is
assured The balloting will be very heavy.
Second Ward-Here last time the First
Precinct gave 406 eyes" votes and 219
"Noes." The Second gave 176 eyes" and
1913 "Noes" The "Yes' vote will be bigger
to-day by far.
Third Ward-In the First Precinct ma
jority of 1873 votes was given against the
loan This time the majority will be de-
creased immensely, and some are even san
guine that the Yes vote will win. The
same is the case with the Second Precinct.
Fourth Ward-About 800 votes will be
cast here. The Ward last time was against
the road, but a somewhat favorable turn has
taken place now. Still some say that as the
bonds have not been perfected, a close con-
test might be expected. Those who are op-
posed to the road say that they will carry
the Ward. 1t is nip and tuck.
Fifth Ward-Here the First Precinct,
which in May gave "Yes' majority of
III votes, hardly any "No" tickets are be-
ing cast. The Second will be about evenly
divided. About 700 votes are expected to
be cast.
Sixth Ward-A majority of 155 votes in
favor of the road was given here in May and
this time there will hardly be any opposi-
ton. The First Precinct will probably cast
about 270 yes votes. In the Second Pre-
cnct at 10 o'clock to-day about 100 votes
had been cast, and of these about 18 were
mo" votes. A rousing majority for the
eyes ticket is assured.
Seventh Ward-The First Precinct last
time gave 412 "No" votes and 217 eyes"
1t is confidently said that the latter will be
ahead this time The Second Precinct will |
come out about even.
Eighth Ward-In this ward there was no
organization in favor of the measure, but |
the indications are there will be a majority !
in favor of the bill.
Ninth Ward-Here, as in May last, ma
jority of about $50 or more will be given in
favor of the road
Tenth Ward-In the First Precinct
where the opposition polled majority
vote of 1856 at the former election, there is
lively time to-day. Both parties
are confident Of victory, and
the vote will doubtless be close. AT the
Second Precinct the opposition is noss active,
and the vote, which at the former elecnS,n |
stood % majority against the bill, will un-
be in favor of the loan to-day.
Eleventh Ward-ln the First Precinct
The "No" ticket ia far i'm advance but in the
