to fold the small white slip and deposit

good indication of the intelligence and

The names on the aldermanic tickets
| at large which we're cut the most were
/ those of Petsch. Dowlan. Dion. YOerg
/ and Hilyard. Bickel. Cullen and Fisch-
! eT'S names generally took the places of
/ the scratched Democrats. and Hamm
/ and Minea were substituted for the cut
! Republicans. A great deal of slaShine
! between DAILY and Roche for comptroller
/ was noticeable, and there was more
/ or less trading for ward aldermaniC
! candidates. The Republicans in some
/ precincts cut Hilyard badly, while
/ few Democrats, like Gen. i. w.
I johnson. voted for him. The PrOhi.

/ insignificant minority vote. The ''citi-
/ Zens'" ticket played havoc. mixed up,
/ as it was, of candidates of both parties.
| But it was a great day for candidates,
/ after all. and their energy and
| activity did them proud. Billy
| Hamm was everywhere and
/ anywhere, now in his hOme
/ ward. the Second, again across the
| river in the Sixth, and then far out on
/ st. Anthony hill. He left no precinct
| ungraced by his presence and smiling
/ cOuntenance. Barney Ryan missed no
| opportunities to get there in every di-
Tection. John Dowlan felt a sort of
/ home tie to the Ninth ward. and visited
! it often. Anthony Yoerg did his best

! DAILY men did not cut the Democratic
| ticket as much as had been threatened.
| Chairman j. l.. Berkheimer. of the cen.
/ tral committee of the Independent
| WOrkingmen'S clubs, visited every pre-
cinct to see that the interests of the
| Labor party were looked after. and that
| the different committees were doing

ward and one was spotted in the Third;

! The Third ward. however. was rather
! lively. Barney Smith was on hand in
! the Second precinct to help the good
| cause, and he became slightly demon
| strative with his tongue and three rotten
| eggs. He first ran up against Elmer L.
Mcdonald. the chairman of the late Re-
| publican city convention. Mr.. Nc
| Donald was "On'' to an illegal voter. and
! followed him up. with Barney a close
second in the race. Mac shut up the
bully. After time Smith came back to
have n scrap with Mr.. Mcdonald. but
Capt. Cook interfered in behalf of Mac.
So Barney put three rotten eggs in his
pockets for emergencies. This was in
the forenoon. There was more or less
scrapping in this precinct of
goOd-natured character, much TO the
amusement of the firemen of Engine
House No 2, until about o'clock.
Then little Frenchman who was work
| ing for Dion got hot and let out with
| both hands. getting his work in on a
| bartender's face and making it interest

| did he do this than he started off on q
| dead heat. and afforded his pursuers an
! exciting race around Smith park to
! parts unknown. After the polls closed
| Barney Smith was preparing to rotten
! egg a man named John Allen. John

sent to the police station in the pNsc0l
wagon. The Third precinct was the
scene of slight difficulty between Big
