SIXTH WARD.

was thn fteaucnt challenging of colored
voters by the Democrats. In many in

against voters whose names were set out
plainly on the poll books. and there seemed
no excuse for the action except possibly
the cle cf delay. The Republicans in all
the precincts felt satisfied with the outlook
and declared that the Democrats had
shown their lack of confidence by their
petty tactics The vote came out remark
