IN THE WARDS.
Many OF those registered in the First
ward were ScandinavianS who have
just taken out their first papers. The
Scandinavian vote is the great factor in
this ward. In the Second the railroad
yardmen and other laboring elements
predOminated, and Mr.. Flaherty's
chances are considered bright, as he has
a strong backing by the workingmen.
In the Third Ward Aid. Conley put in
his best work getting voters out. The
registration in the Fifth ward was larger
than expected, and would have been
still larger if the lists could have been
kept open until midnight. The Sixth
ward loOmed up considerably with a
registration of over 5000. Friends of
Aid. Bryant, the Republican candidate,
William Berlandi, independent, and M
j. Melady, Democrat, all did some tall
hustling, the result showing in favor of
Melady. In the Seventh Aid. SanbOrn
was out with carriages bringing them
in, and succeeded in getting a good rep
resentatiOn of the blue stockings on
the lists. In the Eighth the Germans
were out in force, Joseph Matz,
the Democratic candidate, getting his
share. The labor element was large in
the Ninth ward, and all for young Mr..
Gehan. There was very little excite
ment in the Tenth ward, the stronghold
of prOhibitiOnistS, and the registration
was light.
A ROW IN THE ELEVENTH.
The plan which had been carefully
laid and worked up by the Republican
leaders for securing the registration
in the Eleventh ward, partially
failed yesterday, though they
succeeded in getting pretty
goOd-siZed colony registered. They
have been making a lond Outcry
against registering graders" in that
ward, and have been trying to give the
impression that the Democratic MEM
bers of the board were in a plot to
at wholesale. At z o'clock
last night there was a row of
considerable proportions, in which the
Republicans, who had become pretty
desperate, were unsuccessful i'm an at
tempt to stampede the place and pre-
vent any registration whatever. About
200 men were in the room where the
registering was going on. There was
lOund talk and deal of
pushing and crowding, which so hin
dered the judges that the police ordered
the crowd out of the room. The gang
filed out except d. M. Sullivan and
Judge Card, who refused to go. They
were again ordered to move away, but
refused, and the police fired them
bodily. There was much loud talk on
their part after the incident, and
charges of bulldOzing, etc., but the
charges didn't go, and they had to let
the judges go on unmolested. Instead
of the 1900 graders over whom the
howl has been raised, there were thir-
teen who showed up to register. No
body knows how they will vote,
but they were registered under protest.
The Republicans took up thirty men
from Twohy's boarding house and reg
istered them. Their right to vote will
be tested by the Democrats if the Re-
publicans are desperate enough to try
to vote them On election day. They are
said to have no legal right to vote, as
they have never been naturaliZed.
On the WHOLE. the Eleventh
ward was the scene of the greatest dem
OnstratiOns, and there is a degree of
heat out there that threatens to make
trouble for somebody on election day.
The variation in the number of voters
in each ward is considerable, the Fourth
having 3,347 and the Tenth but 634. In
the order of their Importance the wards
will read Fourth, Sixth, Ninth, Eighth,
Fifth, Second, Third, First, Seventh,
Eleventh, Tenth.
The most careful and conservative
estimates place the Democratic majority
at from $500 to 5000, while the more
sanguine Oracles declare that the
ticket will go through with a
boom that will put in the shade all
memory of the time when Ed Rice
laid out the festive Banker Merriam.
The Democrats are reasonably sure of
at least six aldermen from the wards,
with fighting chance for eight and
possibly nine.
The Republicans talk in very de-
moralized way. They do not size up
the registration to their own satisfac-
ton. They want light vote, and to Sc
cure this they propose to get their own
men in line and then block the voting
by continuous challenging.
