The Evening Sun.
New York, Nov. 8. The weather
conditions are all to be desired. The
air is clear and fresh; temperature 45.
The polls opening at 0 o'clock, many
citizens took an early walk and de
posited their ballots and returned to
breakfast. Nowhere was trouble re
ported during the first three hours of
the hullotlng. Comparatively tew
votes were challenged. it cannot be
said that any particular vote, demo
cratic or republican, showed Itself
distinctively in the early hours of the
day.
The merchant and mechanic, the
clerk and the laborer, were In evi
dence at the polls just about the de
gree they were out in the early hours
on other recent election days. Almost
all the manufacturing concerns shut
down for the day, and the bankers
and brokers and Insurance offices
We rs closed. Many !arg,- department
stores, on the other hand. Were open
for business for the entire day. but
even in those concerns the employees
who were voters were given time lo
go to the polling places. Polls close at

Chief of Police Devery that may effect
the efficiency of the state deputies

tion. The policeman refused to make
tbe arrest unless the accusing deputy,
accompanied the accused to the sta

the chief of police, who sent out the
following order:
“In all cases wbare there are char

the complainant must accompany fie
prisoner to the station house, exce T, ‘
where there is a warrant In the ca e
