All of the candidates have been canvass

of the residents.
The political managers have not been
able to get a line as to how the ward is to
go, because it was created last November,
from parts of the Thirteenth and Four
teenth wards.
While the Republicans think they will
carry it by a big majority, yet the Demo-
Gratis believe they ave an excellent
chance to win because of the excise
question, which is said to be a very inter-
esting subject to many Of the residents,
irrespective of party affiliations.
