Democratic votes.
ELEVENTH WARD.
In the first precinct of this ward Ross Clarke,
the Democratic challenger, made use of his pow
ers Unfortunately, and caused considerable
trouble. There was some quarreling with dep
uty marshals here, but nothing serious. The
vote was 932 to 864. two years ago, and there
was comparatively little scratching on either
side.
TWELFTH YARD.
The vote yesterday was 922, to rs two years
ago, the gain being almost exclusively in the
second precinct. In this precinct, also, the Dem
ccrats unfortunately challenged every eolored
man who tried to vote, and thus delayed pro
ceedings very much. 1t was thought that Major
Ross would make very substantial gains here,
and Shiel would run well up with his ticket
THIRTEENTH WARD.
In the Thirteenth ward the voting was brisk
all day, and a full vote was polled. In the
first precinct a total of 401 votes were cast,
against 352 in 1882, and in the second 637
against $50. Ross was scratched to some ex-
tent. There were no disturbances of any
kind. Bruce Carr lost a few votes early in the
day.
FOURTEENTH WARD.
The Maus brewery employees voted solidly
with the Democrats, but the colored men were
voting the Republican ticket. The probability
is that the Republicans will carry the ward by
a small majority. The first precinct cast 3SS
votes, against 1876 in 1882. The second 502,
against 437. Ross was scratched by a few.
FIFTEENTH WARD.
There was a heavy gain in the total vote in
this ward over 1882. The First precinct cast
450 against 324, and the Second 1872 against 442.
Shiel was badly scratched by Irish Republicans,
and Ross also suffered some. Carter was also
scratched, but not to any great extent. There
were no disturbances.
SIXTEENTH WARD.
There was evidently a Republican gain in this
ward, the Democratic falling off being occasioned
by their failure to get out their vote. Carr runs
ahead and Shiel behind his ticket. Ross runs
about up with the head of the ticket. Total
vote was 7S5 in the three precincts. 1t 1882 it
was 779.
SEVENTEENTH WAR;
There was considerable scratching here, in
which both sides took a hand. The Democrats
attempted some bulldozing, in which they were
partially successful, keeping out several Repub-
lican votes. Shiel and Ross were both scratched
some. Total vote by precincts: First, 1862; sec
ond, 800. In 1882 it stood: First, 1878; second,
800.
EIGHTEENTH WAR;
In both precincts Ross and Shiel suffered by
the scratchers. The total vote was: First pre-
cinct 352, second 1913, against 800 and 351 in
1882. 1t is largely a German ward, and the Re
p~ublicans were jubilant over holding their own,
which they undoubtedly did.
NINETEENTH WARD
This ward is populated largely by Irish, and is
consequently heavily Democratic. Contrary to
all expectations, Shiel was badly scratched by
Republicans, and received no support from the
opposition to overcome 1t Ross was scratched
slightly. Total vote, 1888, against 1877 in 1882.
TWENTIETH WARD.
This is a reliable Republican ward, and the
workers claimed to be at least holding their own
on every one save Ross and Shiel. The Demo
Gratis scratched Carter also. No disturbances.
Total vote, 881. In 1882 it was SOC.
TwENTY-FIRsT A
The temperance Republicans, of whom there
are many, scratched Ross heavily, but voted for
Woodland, Prohibition candidate for sheriff. The
temperance people voted for Blaine and Logan
electors. Some Democrats scratched Carter.
The total vote was 942, against 729 in 1882.
-TwENTY-sEcoND WARD.
A heavy Democratic ward, where they proba-
bly, make gains, owing to increase in their vote.
AS elsewhere, Ross and Shiel run behind their
ticket, but not to any great extent. Total vote,
902, against 200 in 1882.
TwENTY-THIRD wARD
Schmidts and Lieber's breweries are both To-
Gated here, and their employees voted the Demo
cratic ticket straight, except for Carter and
Nichol, most of them voting for Ross and Bic
Ter. Total vote, 1884, LOLA; 1882, $751;
