The morning call., 1892-10-20


THE CALL has taken four big straw votes.
In every case the returns show large plu-
rality for Ebert.
The total number of votes cast on The
CALLS ballots up to date is 1708.
Everywhere Ebert Is ahead. The figures
show II. Everywhere EIlert is the favorise.
THE CALLS researches prove It.
Here's an incident, not of vital weight In
itself, but of sufficient importance just now
TO prove which way the wind is blowing.
Nine well-known business men met yes
terday at the corner of Post and Market
streets In front of the Croker building.
Naturally enough in the five min utes'
conversation which ensued the allabsorb-
ing question Of politics came MP.
Each man expressed his opinion OF the
various municipal tickets, and eight out OF
these nine proved TO be Nom Partisans. The
remaining man lived In Oakland.
This is straw. but its indications are
true.

a while such prominent figure. 1t may be
