No good citizen who has taken care to
get his name upon the registry list win
have any ground 10 complain Of any lack
of opportunity to get his vote in the bal
lot box. While there viii doubtless be
blocks at some of the boxes during por-
lions OF the day the fact that the polls
will be open for twelve hours insures am
pie opportunity to all to cast their ballots
The polls will open at o'clock in the
morning and will remain open until
clock tonight. There are nine boxes
and as the average to each box will not
exceed 600 Votes there should be no diff
1iculty in getting in ali the votes. In all
peoba bility the voting viii be practically
over ty o'clock this afternoon.
For the eve of a closely contested cleo
Ii n there was remarkably little betting
While there was a fair number of small
BEES, ranging from 500 down, bets in ex-
cess of $40 We're hardly TO be heard Of
Even the customary betting of hats,
cigals, suits Of cloths and articles of per-
nal apparel generally Sc med to be less
popular than usual
While both sides expressed the greatest
coriic nee as 10 the result, the Citizens
seemed to possess larger funds which
they were wiling 10 wager. They talked
freely of bets of S1,0C0 TO $500 for which
they declared they could find no takers
The only bet actually posted. so far as
known, was fer the sum of $1,000, which
sum was deposited in cash by Mr. ]. d.
Hirsch in the hands OF Mr.. e. s. Byck
yesterday morning. MIR. Hirsch's offer was
of $1,000 even that Mr. Osborne would re-
ceive more votes in to-day's primary than
Mr. Hartridse. The bet was not covered
up 10 O'Clock, when MIR. ByG!s returned
the money to Mr.. Hirsch
The Osborne supporters were apparent
~ greatly elated at the claim that they
had obtained the secession Of a number OF
workers from the Hartridge side in the
First and Fourth districts. The intimation
was that barrel" had been opened in
each district, and that the workers of the
opposition Hooked TO ii freely. 1t was even
asserted that the Hartrldge kopjes in the
districts named had been evacuated.
1t is believed that the tickets on both
sioes will be scratched to a very large
extent. and that, in consequence, it will
De late hour tomorrow morning before
the managers and clerks succeed in tabu-
lating and declaring the vote. What the
result Will be Is a matter of probability
at the best and of possibility In the minds
OF those who are making the conservative
estimates. Whatever the latter element
have to say is qualified with much of diff
hdence and uncertainty. They confess
frankly their inability to tell what re-
suns she election win bring forth
Inc workers began gathering about the
polls last night and they win be there
doubtless, when they open in the morn
Ing. The police will be on hand also, and
II they succeed in averiing disorder It
VIII be source of great credit to them
ara not token OF the perfect AVAILABILITY
OF the politicians. This latter attribute Is
expected to be conspicuous among them
more by its absence than by its presence.
The Purgsng Committee, from which so
mnch has been feared. has removed but
one name from the registration list No
meeting of the committee was held yes
terdaya as 1t had been decided chat the
short time it was afforded would permit
OF no purging OF the list. even II this were
practicable or righl. If there is any chal-
longing to be done ii win be at the ballot
box; the Purging Committee has succeed
ed IN accomplishing nothing.
Superintendent OF Police Screven was
not prepared 70 give out last night exact
information as to the number II police
men he would have az the polls to-day and
their locations, but he said that he w-uld
have sufficient number for the msinte-
nance OF good order, and that they would
be stationed whore most lilfal. 70 D., 80 -.
