 ing of Democratic Candidates.
 The polls opened at 6 o'clock this morn- inc and although the weather was some what chilly there was big vote cast be- fore the noon hour. The voting booths were located at the following places: First ward. Second regiment armory. corner of Phnnix and Abbott avenues, Frank I. Els, moderator, William C.. Moore. checker; second ward, rear Citizens bank, North | Main street, c. c. Commerford moderator. Fred N Perry checker; third ward, police | court room. City hall building. John Wells l moderator, George Roberts checker; fourth | ward. Turn hall, Scovill street, James | Fitzpatrick moderator, E. E. Platt checker. 1 It was not "A democratic day; neither |
 was it such weather as the republicans like to see. Rain suits the democrats to | | T, while many republicans can be coaxed out only by warm sunlight. At least tra- dition says so. Perhaps this is mugwump
 weather we are experiencing. It will be
 cold day for someone. Let's hope 1t will
 be the other fellows. The peoples party men fought vigorous | ly for their ticket, their argument being
 the hard times. How A vote for the
 peoples party ticket would help matters | they did not say. It is believed that the
 vote of the peoples party will be about | the same as that cast at the October cleo | ton.
 1 There was considerable scratching and | pasting or democratic candidates indulged in, Pigott Kilduf. Maloney, Davidson and Tomlinson suffering the most. One
 republican candidate having in tow a gang | of democrats, was seen in the rear of the
 buildings on Jefferson street. What was he there for7 An indignant democrat re-
 ported at the DEMOCRAT office this after
 noon that he had been rendered Mattison
 and Spiegel pastors by man who was in
 the employ of the democratic committee
 as ticket peddler. It is such treachery
 as this that the democrats had to fight
 against
 The reasons given for cutting the dem
 ocratic ticket were many. F.. G. kilduff suffered because he had given some offense @
 to local politicians. Congressman Pig
 ott's action in regard to the post
 office cost him some voters. F.. l.. Ma loney was the special target of Candidate Hall whose methods were most unscrupu-
 lous. D. F. Webster had many demo-
 cratic friends who gave him vote and Sheriff Tomlinson had implacable
 tributed Spiegel pastors with a
 lavish hand The other candidates al>o. were cut to some extent. and on the other hand many republicans called for democratic pastors. How the pasting and scratching will effect the general result cannot be foretold with any degree Of ac- , curacy.
 . At 12:3O the vote stood as follows: First ward, 700. of which the republicans | claim 400 and the democrats 300. In the
 second ward it was estimated that 7jS
 had voted. It was stated that 55S of
 these would count for the republican can didates and POO for the opposition. The
 third ward had a total vote of 76O, of , which the democrats claimed a majority of 50. The fourth ward had rolled up a
 total of 96O. The democrats claimed 7GO
 and the republicans POO.
 At 3 o'clock the vote stood as follows: ; First ward 116O: republicans and populists ' 643. democrats 5l7; second ward. 1.3i0;
 republicans and populists 1000, demo- crats 340; third ward. 1.25O. republicans and populists 5S7. democrats 662; fourth ward. ,55S. republican and populists 35S.

 In 1892 the vote at , o'clock was as fol- lows: First ward l266. second 1860. third I4GO. fourth 1900.
 At 3:I5 the vote stood: Fir-t ward I 2SO. rs publican and populIs. majority 14n; second. 400. republican and poPu'ist : majority 600; third. l.450, democratic ma jority 100; fourth. 1.7O0. democratic ma jority .u00
 This is a conservative estimate and would give the democratic straight tick I GUS OA hbOuk bObs "AlNA OhRAA to be increased before o'clock. At 3 30 in 1899 the vote was: First ward 1.360. second l 3SO. third l .52O. fourth a .6S0.
 The dt mocratic leaders announced this afternoon that they were confidt Tt of elel l. T ing the entire ticket. The different can didates are making a vigorous fight and
 while tl,ere is considerable talk of de Il, s still it is believed that they will not amouLI l. to much.
 f The republicans are making strenuou. D efforts to succeed Candidate Hall can bt l seen in all paris of the town buttOnholInl l, almost every man he meets His running Il mate. Judge Cowell. was asked this after E. roon how he fe Placid" was the an e swer. Il have n, gone out of my office to Il anything in connection with politics ex e ceDt to vote"
 o There is not much excitement around tn Il polls and with the exception of httle fus e- between a populist ticket peddler and e democrat. both of whom got into som |, m misunderstanding this morning. thcr u was no disturbance.
