log cabins, Fert .Meigs, and balls rolling, with
bands Of music pealing their martial notes, re-
verberating wildly through our Highland hills
and valleys for many mile. The delegates ar
irving from every point Of the compass, in heavy
columns of Thousands, and professions from three
different roads, extending upwards of mile,

FIRE.-A destructive fire broke out yesterday
morning on the premises known as the Washing

tween Centre Market Space and Frederick

the hay slowed in the loft. The building was in
a few minutes wrapped III flames, and although
there were at the time twenty horses in the sta
BILE below, they were safely rescued. The flames
extended to the adjoining premises, occupied by
Messrs. ]. & I. Daley, as chair factory, the
fancy chair ware-rooms Of Augustus P. Shut,
the Store and tin-ware mandatory of r. Collier,
and Mr.. H. Kennedy's Baltimore Tavern; all o
which buildings, together with several in the

prompt and energetic exertions of the firemen,
saved the entire block from destruction. This

Election frauds have been practised i'm New

contested election these ten years. Our polls
are always beleaguered with the illegal votes
OF iocofocoism. AT former election in the
18th ward, Alderman M'Mullen saw squad
OF men landing from the steamboat Rockland
on the morning of the election. They collec-

guide. He approached and spoke to them,
and soon learned that they had been brought
from Coeymans to vote the Locoioco ticket
in this city. We Immediately sent to Coev-
mans for persons to identify these imported
voters, and thus actually drove them from the
polls. AT another election the United States
soldiers at the recruiting rendezvous in this
city were disguised as citizens, and suborned
to swear In Locofoco votes.
At the charter election of 1899, large
