half in, for the registered vote, as
shown in the different wards. does not
indicate accurately the voting popula-
ton. In all but one of these wards,
the Second, the transfers are NOT shown,
and since the polls of last fall were
made there may have been several
changes. The registration. however,
is as nearly indicated in these figures
as it is possible to show.
Claims of the Candidates.
A conservative observer could not
help, in attempting forecast, but
come to the conclusion that the tight
is going to prove a close one when the
votes are counted. 0. l.. Ingledue an
nounced himself this afternoon as be-
ing very confident, and his lowest fig
ure in estimating his vote, was 1900.
j. II. Egermayer also expressed him
self as being confident of the general
results, aud at 1890 announced that
he was sure Of the Second ward, in
which Anthony c.. Daily also resides
Mr. DAILY, when seen at 1880, at the
Fifth ward polling place, where he said
he had been spending most of his time,
announced that everything was look
ing fine. Mr.. Dstly's supporters, sign
ing "Daly Executive Committee" to a
handful, announced that out of a total
of 2,542 votes canvassed by them,
Daily had 1852; Ingledue, 593; Eyer
mayer, 2S3; Bab,ock, 81. N. A. Evans,
who is an enthusiastic DAILY man, said
this afternoon that he would prophesy,
and Mr.. Evans is considered by his
friends as sllrewd politician, that
Tn
gledue and Egelmayer together.
The claims of many who have been
in close touch with the situation all
day, are to the effect that Ingledue will
carry three of the wards, the First,
Fourth and Fifth. Egermayer is con-
coded the Second by many, and DAILY
the Third. One who is close to the
First ward vote said that Ingledue
would carry the First three to one and
that the Fifth would go strong for In
glsdue. Ingledle's friends also claim
that he will split the vote between
Egermayer an6. DAILY in the Second
and Third. Mr.. Ingledue himself said
that he expected at least 300 votes in
the Third.
The Other Contests.
In the other contests much work is
being done in the race for the solicit
torship. The general opinion seems to
prevail that the fight is between Car
ney and Burritt aItho G. c. Caswell
has many friends working in his be-
half, and Gee21se M. Lyon is not idle.
In the assessorship friends of both j.
6. Trotter and w. b. Elliott are claim
ing a victory.
The Councilman.
In the different wards the result is
problematical. In the First, Mr.. Peck
hams friends are claiming his cleo
tion and those Of Mr.. Clark are equally
as confident. In the Second, it would
seem from the expression of senti-
rnent by voters that Sieg's chances
were the best, due largely to the SYM
pathetic vote, owing to the Sixth ward
elimination. Mr.. Simkins said, how
ever, that he was satisfied with the
way things appeared to him. In the
Third, the three candidates are all
hopeful altho many think that the
fight has narrowed down between
Iseman and Jennings, with the
same. sympathetic influence APP
parent in the Second, working to
lseman's advantage. In the Fourth the
sentiment appears to be about equally
divided between the chances of Nc
Mains and Herman, and nearly every
one talked with said Bartley's chances
were not at all fattering In the Fifth,
another three-cornered fight, the opin-
ion Of many voters about the polls in
Dictated that Psenicka's chances We're
the best. Trip and Millhiser, how
evr, are both working hard.
The Iowa Central shops were clos
ed this afternoon, in order that the
men might participate in the election,
and have all the time they wanted to
vote. The packing house was also
closed for election. The local freight
trains on the Iowa Central, the crews
of which reside here, will be run ahead
of schedule time into the city this
evening, in order that the men may
reach the polling places before o.

Egermayer Meeting Sunday Night.
The union meeting OF several of the
Protestant churches of the city, at the
Methodist church Sunday night re-
