OF election. The vote cast WAS much

THE THIRD WARD.
In the First precinct of the Third ward.
at 205 Joy street. the chailengers were II.
W. Miller, Republican, and August Bach
man, Popuiist The Republicans had SIX
workers here. II. s. Turner, r w. Jones.
II. Deshon, f. A. Herman, 4. s Staples
and J.. r. Caldwell. The spotted egg
ticket had w. w. Easter and the Demo-
crats-Ryan and E. E. Bragg as workers.
Voting wa. slow and uninteresting. Three
men were challenged as the result of errors
in initials and addresses. but finally al
lowed to vote. Out of 305 actual voters in
the precinct LIS had voted at 2:45 In the
afternoon. In the Fourth precinct only
fourteen votes all told were TO be cast, and
consequently everything was so quiet and
orderly that the presence of policeman
was not even necessary. In the Third
precinct voting was lively in the early part
of the day. J. p. Hawkes.. III. A. Fred
rieks, C. III. Holley. Robert Longstaf
looked after the interests Of the Repub-
lican candidates. No Democrats and only
two Popuiists could bs found advocating
their candidates.
HEAVY VOTE IN THE FOURTH.
In the Fourth ward voting was slow
and steady. and about 80 per cent. OF the
registration had been cast az 4 O'Clock.
In all the precincts but the Fourth and
Sixth changes were made in judges. W.
III. StiIlman succeeded y. G. Adair In the
First, G. A. LampkIn took the place of Lee
Hill in the Second. w. H. Moore acted for
Lee De Vries in the Third and John L.
Cow displaced Edwin Shepard in the
Fifth. Indications at 4 o'clock pointed to
an S. or 30 per cent. vote of the total regis
tration OF 400 odd. The First precinct had
cast l43 out of sol. the Second ~ out of 112.
the Third III out of 300, the Fourth 155 out
out 24S, the Fifth 120 out of DID and the
Sixth $50 out of 29o. There were few chal-
lenges, not more than five in the entire
ward, and no vote was rejected. In the
First precinct man named Thompson
was challenged because his name was
the same as that of another man in
different precinct; but in every
case the vote was sworn in. Numer-
Gus removals of electors held the vote
down in nearly every precinct. Never
theless a reasonably full vote was looked
for. The Fourth precinct, for example.
promised early in the day to poll 210 out
of the 2i3 registered. But few incidents
enIivened the steady grist of ballots.
Some diversion was caused in the First
precinct by Populist, bewiidered by the
three-foot ballot, consuming nearly an
hour in picking out from the deluge of
Populist nominees the names he wished to
mark. In the Sixth precinct an elderly
gentleman. evidently unused TO the Aus
tralian sy stem. marched up to the ballot
box and attempted to stuff blue advis-
DRY into it. when he was stopped by the
inspector. As the old man received the
regulation ballot he gave an exclamation
of surprise and then marched into the
booth to settle the problem of voting.
In the Fifth ward all was quiet. In the
First precinct only forty-eight votes had
been cast up to O'Clock, out of a total re-
gistration of ninety-four. change in
the election board was found necessary, J.
W. Spriggs and Louis Aulter taking the
place of William Pyncheon and Thomas
Boucher. In the Fifth precinct Frank 7.
Lewis and Walter Mcclure did good work
for the Republicans
In the Sixth ward the voting proceeded
quietly and rather light vote was cast.
inspector and VI. j. Mooney and John T..
Moss judges. In this precinct there we're
but two challenges. Judge Robert C.
Strudwlck and officer Harvey 5. Fawcett
were challenged on the ground that they
had moved out of the precinct after the
registration had closed. Both were al
lowed to vote BY the election board. There
was no Republican challenger. S. L.
Howard challenged for the spotted eggs
and G.. Cromaek for the Peoples party.
In the Second precinct there was only one
challenge and that was because a clerk
misunderstood name and IL was with
drawn. h. NJ. Lath was the Republican
challenger. George Howard the spotted egg,
while L. h. Morse looked out for the Pop
ulist interests. The Popnlists were very
active in this precinct In the Third pre-
cinct there were several challenges, but
none were allowed to stand. +. t. Lennon
was the Republican challenger, NJ /.
Howard acted for the fusionists and BEN
jsmin b. Emard for the Popuists. A good
many scratched tickets were voted, so the
judges thought. from the time II took to
prepare the ballots. Matters about this
precinct were as quiet as u mill pond all
day.
