Predictions of the result Of to-day's con-
test are numerous and varied. One Repub-
lican paper claims that every ward will elect
Republican aldermen. Another that all save
the Third and Fourth ward will go Republic
can, but some of the shrewdest politicians
are not willing to wager that either come
within forty rows of apple trees of being
probable. Indications point to Democratic
gains in the First ward, and that Hon. Titus
Marcck viii be elected to the city council. The
attacks of the Journal upon him are ill-timed
and will bear no weight with the intelligent
voters. The issue is raised by that paper that
he is the candidate of the saloOnkeepers, and
that he accepted nomination rendered him
on Sunday. The latter is as perniciously
false as the former is misleading. The one
claim is made because he happens to be an
accountant and in the employ of
John Orth. The action is made be
cause shis name was mentioned in a
peoples meeting held at Turner's hall on a
Sunday The allegation that he was either
nominated ut that meeting or that he ac-
ccpted a nomination rendered at that meet
ing is an untruth. Titus Mareck was nomi--
mated by acclamation at caucus held on the
same night and hour that every other Demo-
cratic ward caucus (save the Eighth in the
city was held. Such preyarlcations should
arouse Mr. Mareck's friends to Increased
efforts, and probably will
THE ELECTION OF EDMUND EIcHHoRN
in the Third ward is pretty generally con-
ceded but the Democrats cannot afford to
lose vote. j. o. Weld, the Republican can
didate, is working indefatigably and will
leave no stone uuturned to get there. Yet
with proper and persistent work on the part
of the Democrats, Mr. Weld does not stand a
ghost of n chance. His prohibition procliv-
titles will drive from him the support of all
believers in personal liberty, and the
Third ward is largely populated
by German and Scandinavian,ci tizens, and to
them sum tuary laws are odious.
In the Fourth ward the struggle will be
close undoubtedly. The ward is strongly
Republican, but Hon. Henry G. Morse's per-
sonal popularity, combined with his we'll
known and Thoroughly tested fitness and
ability to fill the position will probably pull
him through with small majority. Charles
II. Woods, the Republican candidate,
while an excellent citizen, is cold and
distant. An ordinary laboring man canno
reach him, unless it be to engage him pro-
fessonally. Consequently, he cannot poll
the full vote of his party. Many, perhaps
hundreds of young Republicans will walk
quietly to the polls and deposit their ballot
for Mr.. Morse.
TIE SITUATION IN THE SIXTH WARD
looks bright and promising from Demo-
cratic standpoint. Mr.. Stoft, the nominee
of the party, has a strong following of per-
sonal friends and admirers, and he is emf
uently qualified for the position of alderman
He is hardware merchant and respons ible
and successful business man. Lars Swan
son is the Republican candidate, and, being
a Scandinavian, will doubtless poll the entire
vote of that party, yet the chances are in
favor Of Mr.. Stoft. Charles johnson is an
Independent candidate. In order to make
him jump the track the Republicans put his
name on the park commission ticket
that ticket which they claim
is purely non-partisan. Mr.. Johnson
was put on the ticket to accomplish political
trick, but his must be considered a non
partisan nomination. Consistency is a jewel,
but it is rarely found in that party.
STILL COMPLICATED.
The complications in the Seventh ward
So often referred to in these columns, have
in no wise been Strengthened out Thomas
W. Dwire aud J. W. Stokes are the regular
Democratic nominees, but envious aspirants
have announced themselves rs in
dependent candidates from both par
ties until it Is said that
ten jealous politicians have offered them
selves as sacrifices on the altar of popular
suffrage. The Republican candidates are c.
{. Richardson and Phineas Phelps. Mr.
Dwire's following is mostly from the laboring
men, while Mr.. Stokes will draw from all
classes, yet it is thought that Mr.. Dwire will
poll heavier vote than shy other candidate
will in that ward.
TIE DEMOCRATIC HOPE.
In the wards reviewed above
the Democrats feel quite sapCuine
and in the other wards they have possibly &
fighting show. In the Fifth ward Thomas
Downs was nominated through very oues-
tionable means, and many Of the Republican
leaders are thoroughly disguised by the
political chicauery adopted, aud declare that
they will oppose Mr.. Downs election TODAY.
The troubles Of the Second ward have been
pretty nearly settled by the Republicans
and they claim that they will carry tie ward
oy big majority.

The WOODS ARR FULL OF EN-.
There is evidently something in the Office
