Vote in the Wards,

For early voting the present election
is likely to hold the record for some
the noon rush from n0o fsct aaG 0ei and
shops, fully As per cent Of the vote
registered had been cast. Some pre-
cincts went ahead Of this and others
| were slow. The first precinct Of the
fifth ward was one Of the slow ones,
casting 81 out Of 300 by 10 o'clock
The precinct is under cloud, how
ever, and much of the registration has
precinct Of the twelfth ward held tbs
! banner record with 235 votes cast at II
clock out Of a. total registration of
500. Tho this was the largest number,
other precincts showed better per-
centage.
In the first ward, which might be ex-
pected to be slow from the fact that
many voters are workingmen and must
vote: when they can secure time out of
ployers, about 40 per cent was voted
between IL and IL O'Clock.
In the second ward the vote was
fully half in by noon or before. There
is more excitement than. usual about
almost every polling place in the Sec
ond ward. fr addition to the mayoralty
contest, which is the center of inter
est in the second, there is also a warm
| aldermanic contest between E. j. Con-
roy and Benjamin Sheldon. Both have
workers everywhere.
In the third, nearly half the vote
was out by noon, but one precinct, the
| seventeenth, voted So out of a total
| registration of 200, which is behind the
| rest of the ward.
Here, too, the aldermanic contest be-
tween George V. B. Hill and 81. Men
gelkoch is exciting great interest and
| both have workers everywhere.
In the fourth the upper precincts
registered extremely heavy votes early
in the day, in some cases casting half
the total vote by 10 o'clock. The
mayoralty contest is the principal cen
ter of interest as there Is no alderman
ic contest. The lower precincts were
slower and it is predicted will cast less
than 70 per cent Of their registration.
| The fifth was slow in the lower end,
along the river, but in the strong re-
publican districts above registered
heavy voting early in the day. There,
too, the mayoralty is the chief fight.

In the sixth ward no voter who has
will be pulled out and an early start
the voters, the sixth IS ahead Of other
wards. The aldermanic fight is keeping
up the interest. Lars Rand plainly
has the money, and lots Of it. Two
bands are making the rounds of. the
ward, giving concerts before the poll
ing places to keep the judges happy.
| The. seventh has an saldermanic con.
test in addition to. the mayoralty fight,
and is voting strong and early. :.
/ The pirhtb vua ri with an n %oontoet &c
voting early and strong, and there is
reason to believe that the banner eighth
is going to defend the title today by
the vote it will cast for the entire re-
publican ticket from top to bottom.
The fourth precinct cast third Of It's
vote by g Q clock and others were in
| proportion. +
Breaks Early Record.
| The ninth, which is largely made up
Of workingmen, broke ali its previous
records with an early vote that stands
well up in the list of percentages. Full
| ly 40 per cent of the ninth wardswas
| in by. noon. The aldermanic contest
/ Of the ward adds to tho interest taken
in the mayoralty fight. j. ~ y p
| The tenth is active with an alder
maaic contest and other local contests.
Both sides are working hard and heavy
| voting is the order of things. $50 II
! The eleventh., while hotbeds of in
| terest, is somewhat below the average
on early voting. About 80 per cent
was the average between IL and II
0 clock. The ward is stirred up on the
aldermanic proposition, as well as the
mayoralty. (. -. 'l.-~S @s.~.'. +. s..

and the aldermanic contests. The ward

voting. 2s ......,,. dis

and the upper end Of the fourth and
fifth wards. The chief interest is the
