INTEREST IN THE NEW UW.
Interest in one of ths liveliest municipal
canvasses New Y rk has recently had was
increased by a des re to learn the etf -ct of
the new ballot refo in law on the mas es of
the people. 1o this is m part due the large
registry and vote, and the polling of tue
built of the vote early. It is calculated that
70 per cent of the vote was polled by noon.
The law worked smoothly as a rule,
and the moral conditions of
the secret bal ot did not have
the pronounced effect on the voto of the
iOwer classes which many politic and prophets
had anticipated. This was largely the re
sult of educating tho voters into the In
tricacies of the law before the elec'lon.
Opinions diffe © 1 as to gonie'provisions of
the law, and this caused a number of mis
understandings and recourse to the courts.
Nearly thirty mandamuses we e issued, re
?uiriug polling clerks t > receive votes, by
ustices of the supreme court duri..g the
day and a few were refused.
CONSTRUING THE LAW.
Constructions were early give ito parts
of the law which prevented further hitches.
Justice Van Brunt held that on an affidavit
of the disability of a voter, t e latter could
have a frie ,and in the booth and the
clerk could not pass on the question of
disability. Justice Andre** heiii that each
v.ner had a rignt to four sets of ballo s, on
each of which be could expeud ten minutes.
The result of this decision gives a broth so
long to each voter that a few might
monopolize a booth during a day. It was
als i held that after au ideffectual attempt
to vote, a vote may return subsequently,
and after making a i affidavit of his disa
bility take a friend in the booth. Lias ■ of
this kind ware so rare, however, that they
did not materially detract from the general
success of the la iv.

AT ALBANY.
Albany, N. Y., Nov. 4. —Violations of
the new election law are reported from all
overt e city. The inspectors who handle
the ballots transposed one to be voted for
one of t e refused ballot*. Several arrests
were made. Br tery was open. The fifteen
foot rule was not ailnered to. The booths
in most districts were on the sidewalks,
thus afford ng opportunity for heelers to
help the voters prepare their ballets.
Tracey, de u., for e ngross, is re elected
by about 3,500 majority from the Nine
teenth district.
WORKING OK THE NEW LAW,
The new ballot law worked with little
friction in this city, and is warmly praised.
The streets were as quiet as on Sunday, and
the absence of money, whisky and disorder
at the (tolls was noted by all. The chief
difficulty was in folding the ballots, and
lawyers and bankers, as wail as unlettered
men, suffered confusion on this point. In
some districts federal deputy marshals as
sumed power to go into the booths with
voters and remain behind the rails.
A UNITED STATES SENATOR PROMISED.
Albany, N. Y., Nov. 5., 5:30 a. m.—The

sixty-eight democrats to sixty republicans,

ballot aud electing a democratic United
States senator from New York.
AT BUFFALO.
Buffalo, Nov. 4.—At daybreak there
was an inch of snew on the ground, but it
soon melted, leaving the streets in slushy
condition. The clouds cl *ared by noon and
tbesun shone brightly. Voting under the
new law progressed smoothly, except in
rare instances.

AT HUDSON.
Hudson, N. Y., Nov. 4.—At noon two

AT ROCHESTER.
Rochester, N. Y., Nov. 4.—The day
o; ened with the ground coated with snuw,
which soon gave way before the sunshine.
A heavy early vote was polled. There was
but very little excitement about the polls,
owing to the restrictions of the new law.
Nearly ail voters had to ask questions as to
how the ballots should be doubled and what
to do with the ones they did not isu to
vote, notwithstanding the expir ations
given repeatedly in all the city papers.
AT TROY.
Troy, N. Y., Nov. 4.—This election day

AT HARRISBURG.
Harrisburg, Pa., Nov. 4.—The election
pa-wed off quietly. The weather wa< favor
able for a very large vote. Loo il contests
resi:lted in corsiaerable feeling, and there
were all sorts of r mors to the effect that
the friends of several candidates were
trading the remainder of the sta e and
county tickets for their favorites. Tie
democratic county chairman, Mr. Hamil
ton, and Charles Moore, a oolore 1 republi
can. janitor of the state school building,
were arrested for illegal voting. He hud a
hearing, and was bailed for court.
AT PITTSBURG.
Pittsburg, Pa., Nov. 4.—Great interest
was manifested in the election, and both
parties exerted themselves to the u most to
get out every voter. A great deal of
scratching was done, but it was not as gen
eral as was anticipated. A peculiar feat ire
of the election is the severe scratching Con
gressman Dalzell, rep., received. In the
First ward United States marshals were
placed at the polls, and the feeling w s
intensely bitter, pir ioularly between the
two factions of the Repuolicaa party. The
dav was cloudy and raw.
Senator Quay telegraphs from Beaver:
"The battle is over. Delamater will have a
majority of 30,000 in tho state."
QUAY GIVES IT UP.
Pittsburg, Nov. 5, 6 a. m.—A dispatch
received from M. 8. Quay, dated Beaver,
at 2 a. m., says: “I tniuk the slate Is demo
cratic."
BIG GAINS IN OHIO.
The Democrats Elect at Least Twelve
of the Congressmen.
Cincinnati, 0., Nov. 4.—The weather
was fair, and voting progressed quietly. Iu
many precincts two-thirds of the registered
vote was in before 9 o’clock.
With the exception of a few saloonkeepers,
who violated the law by keeping their
places open on election day, there were no
arrests iu this city to-day on account of the
election. A law, which has been in effect
several years, prohibits gathering withiu
160 feet of the polling places, and the oonse
quei'ee is tbut the. e are no gatherings at all
and none of the excitement fostered by
orowds la now to be seen at elections. Be
sides, there has been no unusual excitement
here during the canvass, no torchlight pro
cession, no outdoor meetings and little of
the bitterness or wr angling usually preced
ing an election. To-day’s voting was a
reflex of the dignified calmness that has
marked the conduct of the campaign.
Voters approached the polls free from the
solicitations of the ward workers, and on
depositing their ballots left the place.
Asa result there were no
quarrels and no crime*, and voters
went about their business, confident that
with efficient administratio i of the regis
tration law there was no need of scrutiny
to tee that there was no default of the
peoples’ will by trickery or criminal per
version of the returns. Divisions among
the democrats, caused by the abolishment
of the board of city improvements, at the
suggestion of Gov. Campbell, had its effect
in the general apathy among many of the
most active men in the Democratic party.
So, when the polls closed, there was a gen
eral feeling that the republicans had carried
the county by a good majority, that Storrs,
rep., had defeated Cosgrave in the First
district, and that Caldwell, rep v in the
Second district, was elected by a handsome
majority. The democrats do not generally
concede the defeat of C< agrave, and some
of them claim the election of the demo
cratic sheriff.
OHIO’S DELEGATION,
Cincinnati, Nov. 5,3 a. m.—Ohio elects
8 republican congretsmen and 12 democrats,
with the Sixteenth district to hear from.
AT CANTON.
Canton, 0., Nov. 4.— -The weather was
disagreeable, with snow, rain and fog in the
morning, with indications of clearing
weather. All interest centered on the co.-
gressnnal ticket. Mai. McKiuley was
heartily cheered when he approached the
polls at 9 o’clock and voted. So far as -he
party managers could exert themselves
every vote was polled.
Interest in the outcome of the election
was so general that business was practically
suspended.
AT COLUMBUS.
Columbus, 0., Nov. 4. —The weather ha 9
continued g corny all day, and toward
event g strongly threatened to rain. The
falling off tn the vote seems In great meas
ure to be confined to the German wards, ad
the republican*, then f re, anticipate ome
advantage, but reports from republican
strongholds also indicate a short vjt",though
hardly tn the extent that will affect toe
democratic ‘■h rtaze. The contest waa con
fined almost exclusively to the local ticket
arid mue.i scratching is being done. The
vote on congretsmen claimed no attention,
and Mr. Outhwaite will be elected with a
slight falling off from the usual democratic
in his di-trict.
Early returns from nearly every section
of the state mdicatea republican victory on
minor state officers by majorities ranging
from 15,000 to 110,000.

Columbus, 0., Nov. 5,3 A. M.— Two
private tsiagrams which have just he m re

true, insure the election of McKinley. One
of the telegrams stated that Wavne county
gives McKinley 900 majority, which shows
a change of 1,808 voces in bis favor. The
other dispatch states that in 34 precinct* of
Stark county, McKiuiev 1 * hot ns, McKin

LITTLE RED 8 HOOL HOUSES.
An Issue at Chicago Brings Out the
Bull t epubllcau Vote.
Chicago, Nov. 4. — The election In this
city, th ugh hotly contested, paasrd off
very quietly. The day opened cool aud
dear, hut the sky became overoaat and ram
was threatened. Later tho clouds broke
away and the sun again ap
peared. The polls opened at 6
o'clock this morning and closed at 4 o'clock
this afternoon. The chief interest centered
m tne contest for tho shrievalty liptween
Congressman Frank Lawler, detn., and
Jamts U. Gilbert, rep. An element of :n
--terest was also injected Into the contest foi
the position of county superintendent of
Sublie schools by the candidacy of Mrs.
vn. Mulligan, who was the democratic
nominee.
THK LITTLE RED SCHOOL HOUSE.
“The little red schor 1 house," was tbe issue.
Mrs. Mulligan is a Roman Catholic, and her
opponent, Albert G. Glaus, a protestant,
ami the public school question was used for
the purpose of turning democratic votes.
From 6 o'clook to 8 o’c ock the democratic
voting was rapid and sent the majorities up
into the hundreds, hut later, when the suu
began to shine, and the air became warmer,
the republicans began to arrive a< the poll
ing places. They neld noo indorsation with
the ticket ped ilers, but took from their vest
pockets, neatly folded tickets, the contents
if whic i uone hut themselves knew.
Men who bad not been to the
polls for years visited them
to-day and cast their ballots for lbe repub
lican candidates. This was tbe strong
point of the republican side of the battle.
'The work had been done on registration
day. In short, Cook oounty ha* not had an
election In many years, if ever, where the
rich and aristocracy came out In such num
bers to vote. Through an error in distribu
tion republican ballots failed to reach Mime
of the outlying wares at ihe opening of the
polls, and many voters were obliged to come
into tbe city to attend to their business
without voting.
considerable scratching.
Owing to the agitation on the compul
sary school Question and the u near lain
strength ot the ticket of the citizens or
I’atriotic Sons of America, is due the great
extent to which tbe respective state tickets
were sernehed here. Tho so-called citizens,
ticket contained only the names of native
born Americans and was made up of the
nominees of tiie two lead log parties, with
now and then a prohibitionist where the two
principal parties happor.ivl to have both
nominated foreign born citizens for some
particular office. The citizens'ticket, which
the local politicians dui bed "the know
nothing tleket," claimed a vote of 15,000 in
Cook county, but returns would indicate
that they did not poll half ot the number.
The contest lu the four city congressional
districts was largely a personal one, and the
tariff issue was, in a large measure, hist
sight of.
In the state, outside of Chicago, the polls
were open until 7 o’clock, and many of the
polling places are many miles from tele
graph faoiiiiiee. "
HOW THE HE LEGATION STANDS.
Chicago, Nov. 5. 3 a. sc. —Of the twenty
congrsesioual district* in Illinois, the indi
cation* point to the undoubted election of
ten republican congressmen and six demo
oratic cong essmeu, with four districts of
the state still in donbt. Congress
men Adams, Hopkins, Hitt, Henderson,
Hill and Payton, rep., are unquestionably
re-elected, as is also probably Rowell, rep.
Thereis hardly a doubt of the success of Post,
rep., in the Tenth district. In the Eleventh
district Gest's election has been stubbornly
contested by Benjamin T. Cable, dom., and
the result isstlll iu doubt. Wike, Springer,
Lane and Williams, dems., are ro -elected.
The Indications point to the re-election of
Smith, rep., in the Twentieth district, and
Foreman, dem., in the Eighteenth, with the
Sixteenth district still doubtful, but Con
gro small Fithian claiming bia re-election.
The democrats are claim!..g the defeat of
Congressman Cannou, rep., in the Fifteenth
district, but the republican state central
committee still claim Cannon’s re-election
by 560 majority.
CANNON IN DOUBT.
Danville, 111., Nov. 4.—The republi
cans claim the election of Cannon to Con
gress by 600 majority. The democrats
claim the district is still in doubt.
TENNKB3JI&’3 TRIUMPH.
Colored Voters Alone Bothered by
the Australian System.
Nashville, Tenn., Not. 4.— The day
passed off quietly, so far as heard from,
with a light vote in middle and western
Tennessee, the democratic strongholds.
The Australian ballot law i* working neau
tifully, barring the fact that comparatively
few negroes know how to vote under It.
The (lull tax qualification also had a tend
ency to reduce the vote. Buchanan, dent.,
for governor, virtually bad a walk-over
over Baxter, rep., and Kelley, pro. The
weather was magnificent. But little inter
est was taken.
Return fr itn 11 wards and districts In this
county give: For gover or, Buchanan,
dem., 816; Baxter, rep., 124; Kelly, pro.,
833. Indications p nut to Buchanan carry
ing the county by two to oue over the com
bined opppositiou. The eutire democratic
iegi lative tioket Is elected by four to one.
It ha* also been a walkover lor the demo
cratic congressmen.
AT CHATTANOOGA.
Chajtanoooa, Tenn., Nov. 4.—Chatta
nooga, complete, gives Evans, rep., for
co; grew, 833 majority over Snodgrass, dem.
This is a > epublioan loss of 987 from the
vote of 1888
The indications are that Snodgrass, dem.,
defea • Evans, rep., the present incumbent
for Congress. Snodgrass gain* nearly
1,000 vote* in this oountry.
BUCHANAN’S MAJORITY 20.000.
Chattanooga, Tenn., Nov. 4, 11 r. sl—
Telegrams to the Times from all over the
state indicate a full democratic vo e.
Buchanan, the democratic candidate for
governor, will have no lew than 30,060 tna-
jvrity. Evans, rep., the present member of
congress, is defeated by Snodgrass, dem., in
this (the Tolrdl district,
Tayl r, s r publ cau in the present oon
crea-, is defeated by Butler, independent,
in the First district.
Houk, re übhean, is elected in tbe
Second district by a reduced majority.
Tbe Australian system was for the first
timo used in congressional elections iu largt
cities.
1 1 this city ths negroes had been schooled
and i h few exceptions managed to pre
pare thair ballots.
AT MEMPHIg.
Memphis, Tknn Nov. 4.—The polls
closed at 4:ao o’olock, and, of course, the
democrats carry everything. Nine wards
out of te ii i Memphis give Patters m,
dem., for congress, 2,020 majority over
rot ton.
.Memphis ci’y complete gives Patterson,
dem., for congress, 2,168 majority over
Eaton, rep., and thy county will give Pat
ter.on 7,000 maj irlty. No comparison can
be made with last year’s vote, us this is the
first trial of the Dorboh law.
HOCK BADLY HACKED.
Knoxville, Ten-., Nov. 5, 1 a. m -
W i Hams, dem., against Unuk, rep., lias re
duced bis majority from 18,000 to less thou
5,000, and democrats are even claiming his
e.ectton.
In the First congressional district Butler,
ind. rep., has defeated Taylor the lepub
lican incumbent, by 8,000 majority.
It is estimated on the returns received
that the democrats have made gains in all
the republioan o unties of East Tennessee.

Lively Fights in Illinois and Wla

Milwaukee, Wis., Not. 4.—When the
polls dosed at 5 u’clrck this af lei noon the
moat unique and exciting political strugglo
in the hitlory of the oily came to au end, A
feature of lb" day was tbe activity of tbe
Catholic and Lutheran clergy iu marshal
ing their forces against the Bennett law.
At the polling booth t the corner of Groen

almost in the shadow of the Bt. Stanslau*
Catholic church, two Polish priest* feu ted

countrymen v. te I as early as pcwiMe, and

which he tung in an intimated manner.
From this place he posh'd off to tho Fourth
precinct of the Twelfth word, on Grove
street. Hit church is outside the city, in
the town of Lake, and he slated triumph
antly to all his friends that when ho loft his
precinct them had been only 1 or 2 repub
lican votes against 100 democrats.
MONKS VOTE AGAINST THE SCHOOLS.
Some ctiriosi y was manifested In the
second precinct of the Sixth ward, where
tho Cupuchin monks had reghterrd. About
10 o’clock thoy appeared, twenty-three
strong, bended by the father guardian. A
crowd gathered at ihe corner wbilo they
drew up on the sidewalk, and want Into tbw

to cost his ballot without molestation from
the republican ohallengers, an it had bean
ascertained that they had all been
naturalized. As quietly us they h.id> oome
they went away, aid there wore twenty
three democratic ballots In the box.
VOTE OF THE LUTHERANS.
Most of the Lutheran churches held meet
ings lost night;, at which democratic tickets
were distributed. At the booth* the Luth
erans would not have any; hlng to do with
the peddlers. Nome of them would take
anything put lti their hands and shove it
Into their pockets, where it was prusuiuahly
left. The charac er of the vote cast is con
sequently a mystery. The democrats, of
course, claimed that every Lutheran who
appeared with hit ticket in his pocket
put tun straight democratic vote;
but the other side c,aimed Just as oonti
dently tlmt the reason why the Lutherans
acted so mysteriously was that they wanted
to fix their tiakets to suit tbemselvu* with
out letting any body know It. At nearly
every polling place some Lutheran, gener
ally a school teacher, was stationed to see
that theii people did not allow themselves,
to he persuaded to accept a ticket lrom tlto
