New York, Noy. 6.—The election was remarkable for the general Quietude that prevailed In the city, despite the intense party feeling that raged to all the ditto-lets, from the Battery to Spuy- ten Duyvel. With' the exception of a few ordinary tmcounU'rs there was no happening that could be called rlotlous In any section. A tour of the districts by ,i close observer resulted In no dis coveries more striking than the deter mined mood the average votter seemed to be to. -Men who never diream of tak ing breakfast before 9 o'clock in the morning were everywhere at the palls long before they wore legally open for voters. They stood in the chilly air reading 'their papers, calmly waiting for the time for voting. On the west side there were long lines of men, who stood for hours without being able, to gfct anywhere near the polls till two or three hours after they laid got a place in the single flics on the side walks. At one time, to some of -the brown stone dlstUots, where the Re-, publican strength is noted, many vo ters became suspicious as to the real cause of the slow movement ahead of them and at 'the ballot boxes, and feel ing grew strong -thr-t tho delay was caused by the “nxiliclaus Inactivity of tilt .r enemies.” Ifl some instances there was some basis for this . view, and when It became apparent to the ispebt- ora and the wu.t'cheru that too much time was being token up by the “slow eocenes," there, was, a cm .of...“Got a mo.e on youl” and things became more rustling. Tnere was adtual disfranchisement to hundreds of oases to various pitta of th® city. Unfortunate fellows, who be cause of their Illiteracy, and who were a'ilu.ved no guide posts behind the screens, were unable to make ballot enas meet legally and had to -give up the Job finally, were very many. But b.iey wore ndc the only men who had gone to the "trouble” of being regis tered and l03t their vote. The cause of It all wus unquestion ably the lack of booths. It Is true that Itlre law provides oi bootn for ev ery fifty voters and that to several dis tricts extra booths were quickly In place the night before the election day, but all thalt did not alter the fact that hundreds of men In the city today stood In line and hod finally to see the polls closed In their faces before they could reach the ballot boxes. The in- . speetore In some of the districts were to sympathy with the men far back In line when the dock neared the hour of four, but they assert that they wore not ‘to -blame that • the Infernal -ballot system" -was at the bottom of the whole tenon table business, and booths had little Ho do with the condition of affaira In certain quarters. However, It Is the general belief of the voters to the uptown west side, where there was moat cause for com plaint. that next election day there will bo better facilities for voters If the n«xl: legislature Is furnished with proof of the look of time and the lack of both loom for voting. • All the election districts to New York give Morton 124,373; Hill, 127.177; Wheeler. 8,749. Two thousand one hun dred and slxty-two districts outside of New York and Brooklyn give Morton 399.507; Hill, 212,514; Wheeled, 4.425. The came districts to 1891 gave Fassett 238,- 772; Flower, 219,694. -AT TAMMANY HALL. , .. There was an ominous silence as the returns were read at Tammany Hall. ‘‘Tammany’s beaten," was the cry around th hall. The strains of Boyne's band -were Insufficient to keep the peo ple In humor. Police Justice Ryan, -who -was on-e of the few Tammany men remaining tut the wigwam, said things looked bad. "It looks like a Republican landslide,” said he. “and I am afraid we are going to be snowed under." Nicholas Donoho made an address. He said he could not believe that two such ■khorough-eouled" Democrats as Sena tor Hill and exsMayor Grant could be beaten In the state and city of New York. -By thls'-Kme the news ted spread that Hill and Grant were defeated, and ab solute silence prevailed In the hall. Mr. Crain, to break the monotony. Intro duced John B. McGoldrlck, secretary of the Tammany Hall organization, and he met with a great ovation. “You have heard me announce In the past yens the victories of Tammany HaU. Tonight. I am ifcrry to say. I have to announce a defeat. We have lav; the city by 25.090 votes, and the state by 100.009 votes. It has Veen a la clsllde—a tidettet we could not stem. We have, at any rode, nailed our colors to the most and ftmgbt -to the hurt ditch." A wall went up from the crowd as Mr. McGoldrlck gave out the oflk-lil state ment that victory hail deserted the ranks of the Democratic party, and that Tammany HaU was defeated. Mr. Crain, seeing there was no use In protonging the agony, said: "I have one thing to ask you before I go, and that Is to Mr* three cheers for David B. Hill.” Word* cannot oonvey the intensity of the cheers that followed. The crowd completely lost control of itself Men throw their hats in the air. while the la-lles In the boxes waved thetr hand- kerchiefs. Then Mr. Crain culled for three cheers -for Hugh J. Grant, and they were given with a right good wttL (Then the ‘‘braves’’ slowly left the hall and filed Into the street. The glo nhu <jt Tammany Hall seemed, for the preipjt Mt least, to have departed. A tog crowd fingered outside Tsunmn- aw Hull until late to -the night. Neith er ga-Mayor Grant ncrr any of the prominent Tammany men came to the wigwam during ithe night. The official vote for governor In New York city Is: HH1.124.050: Morton, 121,501; Wheeler. 8.787. The following congressmen are elect ed in Brooklyn: Bruley (Republican). Second district: WiUwre (Republican), wjftr# * district: Bennett (Republican). Fifth district; Howe (Republican), Sixth district.

G.—A more quiet election tvas never known in Brook lyn than that which passed off today. It afforded a marked contrast to last year, when there was much excitement produced by tho riotous -ccues In Gravesend. Now this former town is a city ward.and, Instead of the polling places being bunched together In the town hall, where nil the vofing was formerly done under tho eye -if Me- Kano, the polling places .were scattered •throughout tho ward. Tho keen air prevented much loitering about the polling places, and' the booths of tho workers wfio distributed pasters and gave Instructions In voting wore nearly deserted. There wero a few arrests for illegal voting, but some of them were -due to - the errors of registrars In .taking down numbers. The voting proceeded slowly owing to the multiplicity of ballots and many Toters spoiled their l-allo's to their first attempts. But die bulk of llie voting was cast by noon. The Republicans have made a clean sweep hi this city. Morton carries the city by about 18.000. Saxon's plurality is n couple of thousand less. Harman (Republican) Is. elected registrar and tho Republicans have probably elected three congressmen to this district. SOUTH. CAROLINA. Columbia, 8. 0., Nov. 0.—llie weather In South Carolina was cold nu;l clear today. The election, was die most ex citing to years. In.addltlon to llie con gressional contests, there has been a hot fight 'between tho regular Demo- .crntlo candidates for go venter, John Gary Evans of Aiken, and Dr. Samp son Pope of -Newberry, Independent candidate, supported by dike men who have left the Deffiocfitle party Ik outre of their bitter feeling towards tbo pres ent. administration, tlacked by thn ne groes of the cities'mkl towns. In ad dition to all this, the store has been agitated over the question of lio.M'ng a constitutional convention which, if held, would dlsfraficnlsc the negro and eliminate him from polities. This aroused the negroes and on tills ques tion they have been supported by he Independents, who wish to use the ne gro In tho future. Feeling has leen bitter and the negroes have turin-d cut a larger number than In years—that Is, they have turned out In tho cities end towns—hut It Is not llkelv that they have turned out at the count-y pre cincts,. where the Democrats are in a large majority and tenets there ara no Independents to give tho ne-rro encour agement and assistance. Tho calling of a constitutional convention, ns stated, means that a new co.-ui'nitlon will bo made and tho negro dbtran chisad. . ■ “What do I think of the electionV said Dr l’ope, the Independent candi date for governor. “Why; I have been elected, and be fore I’ll bo defrauded out of It, I'll take It up before every returning board, state board and court to tho state. And I want to say that Governor Tillman will never get Ills seat to tho senate, and J. L. M. Irby will be unseated when we shoiw how he has partici pated In the frauds that have been committed. When the United States senate sends an investigating commit-, tee down here I will promise to supply It with the proof of fraud and tha part that Senator Irby and Governor Till man took. I will prove what instruc tions Governor Tillman gave out and those of Chairman Irby on Saturday night” He estimated tho total vote cast at 60.000.

Pope claims that there was much flagrant fraud throughout the state, and evidence appears to sus tain the claim. Happily tbe election In South Caro lina passed oft very quietly, ad with the exception of ope fracas uit Lamar’s no trouble was reportted. The regular Democratic mavhlntlry now in the hands of the reformers has swept things its own way, but its anticipated majority was out down. Chairman Irby has now come down in his estimated majority for Evans for governor. Dr. Pope, who 1* making an independent race for governor. Is receiving numerous reports of fraud. Some of it has bc-vn most rtagpint. The report Is prevalent here that trickery has been used by the reform machinery In Dnrllngton, Florence. Clalrendoo, Greenville, Wlnnsboro and Aiken. It is likely that a contest of some kind will be made. Nothing more than the election of Evans, even If Torced, was expedted. Returns no daunt will show a majority of 20,000 for Eva no.

Since 1870 there has not been a more enthuslast'.o election held in ll bb county than the ono held y ntterday for congressman to represent tbe Sixth con gressional district in the uatloual houro of representatives. Throughout Bibb county tho enthu siasm ran high all dny, and tbo con- sequcnco was tho polling of an unpre cedentedly largo vote. Notwithstand ing tho great enthusiasm, however, It was tho best humored and mo«t orderly election ever held In Bibo county. Not n difficulty occurred about any of ilia polling precincts, and It Is not believed a cross word was spoken. This Is easily accounted for from tho fact that tho voto was practically mmuiracus for Bartlett at every precinct. In tho morning when tho polls first opened 11 few Populists wero seen congregat ed nround tho polls, but they wero hacked to start with anil mafia no ef fort of any conscqucnco to lnfiucu tbo floating voto to go with them. It was perhaps tbo only elootlon In thn his tory of Bibb county at which whlto puoplo and negroes worked and voted «lfio by sifio In a common cause, and It was a remarkable sight to sea lead ing negroes working for Bartlett among their own ruoo and uxtolllng to them the necessity of electing a Dem ocrat over a Populist. When tho polls opened yesterday morning the workers for each sldo were on.hand at each precloot Tho Bartlett workers wero largely In tha majority, to fact there were mors Bart lett workers at each precinct than there were Populist voters and work em combined, nnd It was not ling be fore tho Populists saw that they were even smaller in numbers than they hod led themselves to believe, ,-tnd after putting In -tbolr votes they left tbo polls In desralr. Tho Bartlett men started out with a feeling of triumph and their main object was to mako tho majority nB large ns possible. They realized that every voto east for their candidate was virtually it majority vote, and they worked hard to mako It as largo as possible. At tbe court house one of the Populist loailoix, see ing that everything was golug for Bart lett, resorted to challcaglug lu order to mako tho. voting ns slow ns possi ble so that the majority would bo held down, but tho voters crowded to so fast that he soon gavo up tho Job and retired from tho polls. Tho court houso precinct was the first to open and them was a largo crowd on hand when Ad, Thomas threw up tho llttlo window In tho basement of tlio court houso on tho Academy of Mu sic Milo and announced ready for bus iness. .There was a rush fur tho win dow by n largo number of voters want ing the’ honor of being the first to put in a vote for th* game cock of Bibb, TUIs was tho signal for tho voters and from flint moment until S-910 o'clock p. m. there was a solid stream of human ity at tlio polls. Such steady voting was never before seen In Bibb county and Tlicro was hardly n mlnuto during the entire day when there was not * voter waiting at tho window to cast his ballot One noticeable thing at till* precinct was Iho perfect organisa tion of tbo workers nud there were many of them, principal among whom was Judge Bartlett, who was actively engaged all (lay and never left tlio polls until the window closed down* It lias often been said that no man had better or truer friends than Judge Bartlett, and this was clearly proven yesterday, nnndreds of his friend* worked hard for him nH day who did It to show their friendship and not for reward. Tills Is true even of the ne groes, many of whom worked faith fully. Among the negroes who labored faithfully for him was Henry Ham mond, who did not go homo for two days nnd nights prior to tho clectlpn, nnd yesterday took his own team and worked faithfully nil day for Judge Bartlett without reward. At Findlay’s the voting was steady all day to the close. At ihto precinct the populist* had a large vote In tho last election, and tt was considered otic of their etromtholds. Tho result yesterday show* that there are only n few IV>r>u- fiat* there .-and that like all Other pre cinct* In the county 4t to overwhelm ingly lOemocraUc. It further proves that It wj« the negro voto (lint gave tho Ponultota their apparent gain In the state election. Ywterday the negroes voted with the Democrats, and the result was a tremendous dump In the PopuHst vote of the county. The ne groes have realized that the Democrat* are tholr best friend*, and the alluring promise* of tho Populist* are as »o much -wind. Every district in the county gave Bartlett on overwhelming majority. The districts that gave Hines large vote* to the state election went almost unanimously for Bartlett, ami the Indi cation* are-that Popultom to Bibb coun ty I* dead forever. After 3 o’cloclf. eun time, the workers at each of the city precinct* nnd at Godfrey came to she count house, and the liveliest election scene ever wlt- noeited to 4M* county was kept up un til the polls closed. Everbody -was In s good humor, anil enjoyed seeing the voters os they zoueezed .through the dense crowd -to get to the polls. When a man would manatee to get through ajm vote he would stand aside and en joy seeing Che others struggle through the eolld m.iKB of humanity. Negroes ami white people worked their Way through and Jnutled each other, but no body cared, Juet so the vote* were go ing to -the 4>aillot 'box. and -they did go In about as float as It wa* possible for people -to struggle .to the potto. At 12 o'.doek, nearly all of -the brel< nc*a house* closed. Wle shop* and facto ries shut cow I], rmil everybody went to the poll*. The day was like it hbUday. and although a majority of the store* reopened at 3 o'clock, some of them re mained cloned all (the afternoon, and employer* and employe* stood side by side null worked at the polls. It was a tight without a faction, and In every respect the most Democratic fight ever witnessed In this county. Church mem bers and barkeepers worked side by side and shok hands while they ex pressed to each other their satisfaction at the troy the election was going. It w.ts cause for rejoicing to Democrat* of high and low degree, and they made tbe bast of It.
