TICKETS AND CIRCULARS. -
AT the headquarters of the Allegheny
Constitutional Amendment Committee on
North Avenue IA ladies and about an equal
number of gentlemen were hard at work
yesterday finishing the work for the cleo
tion.
The ladies were inclosing in envelopes a
circular and three election tickets. As
there were %, 200 circulars and $4,000 tick
cts to be placed in envelopes and the enve-
lopes sealed, it kept the ladies busy from
the afternoon. The gentlemen were
engaged in various other occupations. The
election tickets will be delivered at all the
houses in Allegheny by special carriers on
Monday night. None will be sent BY mail.
The reason for not delivering the tickets
sooner is to prevent fraud.
A gentleman spoken to at the committee
headquarters said: Allegheny will 60 for
.he amendment, and in my opinion strong.
This is, of course, if fair count is made,
and also provided the Republicans do not
put their machinery to work against us.
They will hardly dare to do that though ,
Mr.. D. H. Burwell, of Erie, who was
also at the headquarters, said that Erie
county would be for the amendment by a
large majority. Erie city will be against
prohibition bya small majority. He further
said that Cory and Union City would give
three votes for the amendment to every one
against. He also said that Crawford coun-
ty, which adjoins Erie, will be for the
amendment.
