the Municipal Election.

! Many ANXIOUS CdnOludIoS axe WALL
| ing for the announcement of the re-
suit of to-days election and not a few
of the citizens of Winston are equal
ly interested. In the first and Sec
ond wards the opposition to the citi-
zens ticket, which has been brewir G
+, since the primaries, showed itself in
| full force, and the Indications are at
present that the regular Demo-
| cratic has the best of the contest.
AS new registration was required
the voting was comparatively light,
but almost the full registration will
be polled.
In the First Ward the contest is
close and in the Second it looks as if
the Democrats will have a walkover.
At three O'Clock there had been
Isl votes cast in the First Ward and
157 in the Second.
In the third ward the chances seem
| TO be in favor of the ticket nomina-
ted by the colored Republicans.

in the contest everything was quiet
about the polls and the best of order
prevailed. While it is impossible to

Democratic nominees. However, all
| the candidates are Democrats:

their preferences.
