Inc pOlllng place OF the flrSI ana

Second Ward.
There were two precincts in this
ward-one at the Margaret street police
station and the other at 925 East Sew
enth street. Voting was heavy at both
polling places, at each of which three
tickets were in the field. First, the state
ticket, with William Netfield as leading
delegate second, supporting Capt. Hauft
for the Sheriffalty, with Dr. E. Y. AmoSs
as leading delegate: third, backing j. p.
Frye for auditor, with G. j. Flaherty as
leading delegate. The competition
among candidates was keen; some hard
work was put in by all supporters, but
the best of feeling prevailed. The re-
suit of the polling at Margaret street pO-
lice station is as follows:
Capt. Hanft, for sheriff.. 7O2
j. p. Frye, for auditor. INSTRUMENTATION. 81
The party ticket. ........... ............. So
The voting at East Seventh street
precinct was:
The party ticket. 259
Capt Haft, for sheriff. .............. 1877
J. Z. Frye, for auditor. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. "a
1t will be seen that the fight resolved
itself between Capt. Hanft's nominal
ton and the slate ticket, with the result
of the formers success. Capt. Hanft'S
tOtalVote was 500, the slate ticket312, and
Frye's 81. This gives Hanft a majority
of 5S7 over the party ticket, S32 over
Frye, or $40 over the two opposing tick
cts combined. Hanft's delegates are
DR.. Z. G. AmoSs, L. e. Starkey. Fred
w. Bolt, P.J. Franzawa, Max Fierabend,
William Sim, Pat Dawson and A. b.
Anderson. MeSsrS. Dawson, Starkey,
Bott, FranZawa and DR.. AmOss figured
upon the slate ticket. Captain of Police
Hanft, whose candidature for sheriff
secured the popular Endorsement
of this ward, has charge of the
Margaret street sub-police sta
ton. His popularity among the
voters here is to a large extent ram
pant in other wards, and among the
voters around the precincts his nOmna-
ton was conceded a most desirable
one. He has been connected with the
police force between fourteen and fif-
teen years, and undoubtedly the train
ing he has thus undergone would en-
able HIM to bring to bear that system
and discipline" which Capt. Bean,
the Republican nominee, CLAIMS as his
special fitness for the Scheriffalty.
Capt. Hanft says that he has not come
out voluntarily, but my friends from
all parts of the city came here and
made me. Now that have acceded to
their wish, you may depend, if nomi-
mated, l will do my best to secure the
| office"
