tive Ticket ana THIS ~ pretty generally
admitted by the Republican workers at
the polls and elsewhere. But II does not
apparently frighten the state and coun-
ty Republican committees In the least
who declare that should such work be
carried even TO the point of defeating
the legislative ticket In this county,
which they do not concede, they would
still have a majority in the law-maIilng
body Of the state.
IN THE FIRST WARD.
There are II election districts In the
First municipal ward. and In each
there was quietness UP to noon that
was almost m0not0nous for election
day. Voters came in slowly and went
their way after deposting their ballots
In a manner wholly void of enthusiasm.
No trouble of any kind was reported
and il Is not likely there will be any.
There were no reports TO municipal
ward Headquarters. In fact there We're
no such headquarters today. ii was a
district proposition from the outset ana
that IL the way things were recognized
Of the headquarters of the county com
mittees Ii is but the statement OF
fact that the committees know about as
little at this hour as any one on the
outside. II Is hope-guesswork In very
large degree, though the man who
guesses that the Republicans Will have
a majority when the polls close tonight
will. Il Is believed, come nearest the
truth. Two years ago the vote for
congressman In the First was

DOWN IN THE SECOND.
The SECOND is generally Republican
and there Is little sign that II
win not continue to be so for
some time To come, though IL
has wavered somewhat In recent
elections. II contains the districts from
u to &c inclusive. There was probably
more activity here than in any other
part OF the city outside OF the fltth,
where affairs livened up somewhat. as
they always do, In the so-called ten
derloin" section In and about CONNER
cial street and Plum alley, II Is esti-
mated that the Second had cast not
more than 40 per cent of its vote at =
o'clock this afternoon. Following Is its
vote on congressman and associate
justice of the supreme court two years
ago

REPUBLICANS AFTER THE THIRD.
The Republicans are after the Third
municipal ward this year They de-
clare that they are going TO carry II.
If they do so IL will be Unprecedented
as never but on one occasion (at the
time of the election OF Constitutional
convention)have they been able to break
the solid Third which, time after time,
has rolled up its majority for the DEM
ocracy, 1t Is a known fact, however
that there have been many OBJECTIONS
from the ranks Of the party there this
year and that the triumph of the Re
publican party is one of the political
possibilities of the day. one thing Is
certain. II IL does remain in the DEM
ocratic column IL will be at greatly re-
duced figures. These We're the returns
there two years ago on congressman and
associate justice of the supreme court
