year ago. and both parties are unusually active.
II Is noticeable that Myers, democratic candidate
Tor Representatives, being considerably scratched

showed under. The fact that the weather Is nGe
all over the state is calculated make the repGb-

OF the precincrs. The ladies from the Temperance
Organizations appeared early I'm the field, and "

deavored TO secure votes. Up 10 IL O'Clock tie
vote was very light, but the indications were that
the democrats were ahead here. The reform
Ccket which Is opposed TO the Mclean faction, g
polling light vote, with the exception OF Sher-
lock, the candidate for treasurer. The probabli-
ties are that the Mclean ticket will carry the day
In this city, except the candidate for treasurer
ana auditor, which are being scratched. Tie
former is In favor OF the reform candidate Sher-
lock and the latter for the republican candidate
Young. The prohibition amendment Is meeting
with but little favor among the voters here and
the prospect is that neither the prohibition Tor
the taxation amendments Will receive majority
or the votes.
