 LOCAL POLITICS. To.Day,s Contest at the Po1ls-No Lit-

 shtPs-Features of Note in Ward
 Contests.
 To-day's election, while not of tremen- dous or profound importance, is of ab- sorbing interest in the close wards, as re- gard the ward tickets. With no mayor nor city clerk nor city auditor to be elected this time and with no exciting contest on the town ticket, the minority representa- tion law deciding already that branch of the subject, there is yet a good deal of work to be done by ''the boys" to-day, to say nothing of the vast amount of cleo tioneering done in the close wards already. Yesterday was 8 busy day for the local politicians, great and small, particularly among the democrats. Any amount of pasters are floating around 'thick as leaves of vallombrosa," and much scratching and maneuvreing is impending. The result of the election will be as usual re- ported and declared at the First ward polls. The republicans are not apsthetic as good deal depends on the result of the election as regards the control of the city government in the court of common council and in the boards of commits sioners. Republicans should brace up and carry the banner of the party to sue cess in all the wards where success is pos sible. The candidates of the party are all commendable and commended by the leaders who have glanced their eyes over the field and it is hoped and expected that every man will do his duty to-day
 AS to the town government the old board, which is strong ticket, will be of course returned. The two candidates up for assessors, both capable men, likewise will ''get there." The ward tickets for to- day are as follows:

 | NOTES.
 Look out for a split ticket in the Sev. | enth ward and one in the Sixthl was the cry last night in democratic circles. But such an occurrence would be nothing new and extraordinary in those big democratic wards. It means tough fight at the polls and will result as usual in bringing out nearly the full vote of the party in those wards. The Third ward democrats had their split tickets out last night and were in high feather in rallying their factions for the contest today, and in firing the popular heart for the fray. In the Eighth the doubtful charm of | sensational reports has been added to intlu- ence the voters, it being alleged that John | M. Crampton, republican candidate for | Street Horse Railroad company, as if that l had anything to do with local politics. | The fact is, as Mir. Crampton said last | night in reply to the published statement, Mir. Crampton was opposed to the caucus | by stockholders of the company, the latter working to secure the nomination of an- | other candidate, all in fair and friendly contest, however, and MT. Champion is at the present time negotiating to erect a home for himself within few hundred feet of the residence of Hon. N D. Sperry, l anu euClCloTo oueSloo Ol bIy olIGCG lIu- mediate need of patronizing either horse car line habitually.
 Much good work is being done by the many friends of E. I. Atwater, who is up for councilman. and they confidently ex- pect to land him safely when the votes are counted. If elected he will be unques- | tionablysa an efficient and competent mem-
 Der of the council, and one who will devote all necessary time to the faithful discharge l of his duties. His familiarity with busi- ness matters, wide awake spirit and un- Tagging energy we'll fit him for the posi- ton, and there is a general feeling among | republicans of the ward that he should be | given large and handsome vote to day. MT. J. W. Everett, on the republican l ticket for councilman in the Second ward, | is of the firm of Taylor, Everett & Co.,, do- ing business corner York and Crown l streets. Mir. Everett has always been a 1 staunch republican and would be credit l to his party if sent to the council. From all indications there will be large vote boiled for Lewis D. Chidsey for alder man in the Third.
