in Each Precinct-A Total Registration
of G,2O9-About 5000 Voters Not Regis
tered.
There was a commendable degree Of activity
among the voters yesterday in the matter Of
the registration of their votes, and at most of
the city precincts the clerks bad no holiday
job. A little over 2.000 votes were recorded,
which, added to the number previously regis
tered. makes the total vote Of the city as far as
recorded, 5000. This does not however, rep
resent our full voting strength. Probably
5000 voters neglected to enroll their names,
and will therefore be deprived of the franchise
votes at considerable inconvenience to them
selves and bother to the judges.
At the beginning Of the day yesterday the
poll-list at the First precinct of the First ward
bore the names of Al voters. During the day
an even 1853 called and expressed the wish to be
anxious to cast their votes for Donnelly next

duly recorded, something like $50 votes less
than the legitimate voting population of the
district

The first precinct of the Fifth ward had a
poll list of 61 to commence the day on, but be-
fore the day closed this number had been in
creased to 764, showing that 2OS persons had
walked up to the captains Office and desired
that theirs should be of the few, the immortal

against Washburn and his swindling brass ket-
ties.
The second precinct did tolerably well. The
