Ward yesterday afternoon would have beer
sufficient to convince the most enthusiastic
Grant man that it will be hopeless task to gel
the Germans to support Grant for the Presl-
dency. This Is one Of the most exclusively
German wards in the city, and 1t ia safe

| Washburno ticket, while the regular Washburne
| ticket was IN the interest OF Blaine. But these
tactlcs ayailed them but little. While they sue

the first two hours after the opening OF the polls.
But the counting Of the votes soon dispeiled all
fears Of the Wushburne men. and it Was soon
