THE FINAL VOTE.
Even Eleven Hundred Have Regis
tered in the City Proper And
Man Cast RaIInks

May Cast Ballots.
Just what the total vote will be is
another one of the unknown quantities
in the present municipal campaign
problem. There are many guesses
being hazarded and also many predic-
tons made. The only statistical light
on the subject is obtained from the
registration books The total regis
tration in the district is in excess of
1,4OO, but it was not definitely known
what portion of this registration was
from the city proper. However, The
Herald has been furnished a state
ment of the city registration, as fol-
lows: White 834, colored 266. This
makes an even LOO. 1t is evident
from this that full vote will be at
least 900, as it is hardly probable that
more than 200 persons have registered
merely for the fun of the thing. The
negro vote is going to cut some ice,
as twenty-five per cent of the regis
tration is credited TO the race Max
ing due deductions for the handicap
imposed by the Australian ballot, 1t
is evident that the negro poll will be
heavy. 1t looks now as If the sue
cessful candidate for mayor
will be compelled to poll more
han 400 votes. When the
possibilities of single Shooting al
lermen are taken into consideration,
| split ticket looks like the correct
lope. But to pick the individuals
will be extremely difficult.

cause of so manly and clean a client
as that of the Guest ticket.

of Columbia he came to me and asked

ney. He asked NE to advise him II

right, and what ives for the best in

Guests every act, and | say to you
that during the two years he served
he placed more reform legislation up
on the books than had been placed
there for the ten years preceding that
time. He was always on the right
side. He voted right, and according
to his own dictation, for he is a man
with head of his own. He never
quibbled in the least, never hesitated
when he was convinced that his course
was right, and he made you one of

Mass Meeting Seen Through Different
colored Glasses by Two

Just what effect the mass meeting
Of last night will have on the munich
i al camp5ien is a mooted question
this morning, and there are many
fl nix expressions of opinion being
heard on the street. Partisans of the
two sides naturally see through differ

enough they permit their enthusiasm
to war; their judgment to some ex-
tent.
Tho mass meeting was a frost,"
said che Biddle supporter. 1T looked
like the Guest ticket failed to make
cd. If they had any knowledge of
law violation they certainly failed to
say anything about it,"
Another point made against the
meeting was that it was of the milk
mild kind. and that the heavy ammu-
milton was lacking, or else the nerve
that one citizen had walked two miles
to see the fun, and that he returned
home disappointed, loudly berating
The Herald for predicting hot viands
when none were served. 1t was also
said that there was an absence of
enthusiasm, that the candidates for
aldermen said little or nothing in
praise of the head of the ticket, and
that Mr. VOORHEES, said a great DEAL
Many jokes were told at the expense
of the meeting, and the ha ha was
INDUCED in to a considerable extent.
On the other hand the Guest sup
porters state that the meeting was
Just exactly the candy; that the Bid
die supporters were knocked off their
base by the conservative statements
and the absence of personal vitupera-
lion. They claim that the issue is
we'll defined and needn't be expressed
n clearcut terms. They further claim
hat the manner in which the meet
