manic district.

the vacancy in the Board caused by ths
death of Lafayette Devinney, is taking
place to-day at the following voting places
of the First Aldermanic District.
The candidates are VIM. Box, Republi-
can, and Michael Ryan, Democrat, the pork
packer of Hunt street.
The First District is strongly Demo-
cratic one and there is hardly any doubt
but that it will be so to-day Nevertheless
there is one thing to affect the result, and
that is that the Republican primaries begin
at 5 o'clock this evening.
From this time on a heavier Republican
vote will be polled than it has been during
the special election previous to that time
This will give an hours work to the Repub-
lcans to get in their work, and they viii
| make the best of it during this time, as both
elections take place at the same polls.

The heaviest vote polled this morning Vas
in the District A at the one-mile house,
Madsonville Pike. Here at o'clock this
morning over 200 votes had been cast, and
as Mr.. Benjamin Eggeston says most Of
these were for Ryan. Even most of the Re
pHDllCau VOICE. SolleIloW OF Quiet WeIb CHM
the same way.
This precinct will give rousng majority
for Ryan. The Republicans say there Is
not the least show in the First Ward for
Box, that in fact Ryan will have a clean
walk over in the District, in spite of the
Republican primaries. In Districts B and
c strong Democratic vote is being polled-
The Republicans have given up every hops
of tight race between the two candidates.
District D will undoubtedly go strongly
Democratic.
In the Second Ward, up to II o'clock, thu
voting was spirited, especially in the upper
precinct, where the vote was heavy. An
unusually light vote was cast at Precinct Il
polls. The ward will go for Ryan
Hardly any "Box" tickets were to ba
found here, only one man canvassing thu
ward for the Republican candidate
The Third Ward, in both precincts, ao
having lively time of it, but the result
will be in favor of Ryan. In the "a" Dis
trict, up to 8 o'clock, one hundred and ser-
enty-six votes were cast, and of these it WAS
estimated by good politicians that one hun
dred and sixty of them belonged to Ryan.
In the B District l65 votes had been cast
up to the same time, and nearly all wers
for the Democratic nominee.
The Fourth Ward was casting lively
vote and it was almost unanimously decid-
ed that there could be no dispute but TINT
the ward would go heavily in favor df
Ryan.
The Seventh Ward, however, will prove
ticker to Ryan. Here his influence is not
so great, and as the Ward generally gDcs
Republican by slight majority, TIM
latter party are putting in their best iieks
to defeat their opponent here. Still up to
noon only slight vote was cast not NUM-
bering hundred in either precinct.
The rush Oh the Republican part win
come in this evening, and there is barely
any room to doubt the overwhelming su0-
cess of Box here.
The Republicans in looking over and
contrasting the various votes of the ward,
have already conceded that Ryan will carry
the district
