ELECTION IN CHEYENNE.
The morning opened bright and clear
and the weather continued excellent
throughout the day. At an early hour
the democracy appeared upon the
streets, vigilant, active, confident, and
well provided with carriages and tick
cts.
AS usual, the democracy went into
the contest early and remained In the
field as long as the judges would permit
thcmito deposit ballots.
The republicans for the most par
were not lacking in enthusiasm, though
1t was evident that tho opposition hat
the start and were getting in a livel,
lot of straight democratic tickets. Els
pecially was this the case at No.
Recreation HALL precinct.
At precinct No. . Inter OCEAN, the
republican ticket led, polling quite q
large number of straight tickets.
The number of votes polled by both
parties up to l O'Clock in the afternoon,
hewever, vas light, as at that heur
only 276 votes had been polled at pre-.
cinct No. |, and 22s at precinct No. 9
After dinner both parties awakened
somewhat from the lethargy which ap
peared to surround them during the
greater portion Of thu forenoon. A
half past 2 o'clock 400 votes had beer
polled at precinct No. 2, and 403 a,
precinct No. J..
At3;30 1,32t votes We're cast-590 al
precinct No. l, and 100 at No. 2.
The interest kept on the increase the
remainder of the day, and at 4:3(
O'Clock over l,400 votes had beer
polled in the two precincts.
Split tickets in profusion were in the
Market and together with the large
amount Of scratching done upon both
sides, 1t puzzled the Oldest WIRE pullers
to wen guess at the result when the
polls closed. There were many on
both sides, however, who firmly ad.
hered to their respective tickets with
remarkable tenacity. Carriages were
kept running to and from the polls ali
day, which, with the favorable weather
resulted in bringing out a fair showing
Of female voters.
THE RESULT.
So far rs heard from the majorities
for the following candidates in the sew
eral precincts are:
