Francois and some others to bring up
the rear. In the morning early the
presiding officer refused to allow the
representatives of the Reform club to
have anything to do with the count
or the balloting, in spite of the pro-
test of several of the members. A
hack load of bat cave convicts were
voted in this ward by the opposi-
ton.
FIFTH WARD.
A Sommers garden was a large
crowd and prominent among the
workers were French, Lockwood,
Hoetling, Boelhauwe and Campbell.
The Reform ticket was admitted to be
ahead, but Lockwood had a strong
following for alderman at-large. And
the Reformers claim that the bulk of
their strength has yet to come in. At
this writing 265 votes had been polled.
At the
SIXTH WARD
polling place, corner of Elm and No
Ian streets, 3S2 votes had been polled.
John II. Hambleton, John Cavanaugh
and others were working at this pre-
cinct, and matters were pretty lively.
The Reform ticket was away ahead
here, some, who should know, esti-
mating the majority at three to one.
John T. Hambleton in like
manner was leading his rival, F. f.
Rogers.
Matters were however more evenly
balanced in the
SEVENTH WARD,
which was at the corner of Victoria
and Matagorda streets. There were
none of the candidates present hut
their strikers were working hard for
their respective candidates. At this
time 207 votes had been polled, but
chances appeared to be so evenly di-
vided between the tickets that few |
would venture to assert the ascenden- |
cy of either. Runge is running we'll |
for alderman, but Reimann is so close !
after him that none can tell which is |
in the lead.
Matters however were different at |
the
EIGHTH WARD
polling place, corner South Alamo
and Nilletta streets. Here the Cal
laghan ticket had the best of it but
how far could not be ascertained.
French, Schafer and Ryan were there,
but the indications are the Callaghan
ticket will lead in this ward.
