shOrcmen been encrgetcay reprcsscd by Capt. Let's
with thirty forty Policemen, there would have been
great many more black eyes and bloody noses than
there were. The voting conducted with all possible
precautions. Voters taken in charge by the
sStrikers" on the sidewalk, fired up in the barroom
and then hustled up stairs with great display Of fists
and affection. Here was large room, in which the
striker pushed the voter by very nOeIh lofce vi ds

side the DISCUSSES effected by the transmutations OF
hats. Frequently, after voting, men were seen rcstor
ing each others hats and caps before they went ont Of

the lines Of policemen, and general melee ensued

jealous for CouncmanBairy to be taken down sairs
made such splurgc that the Captain ordered hun TO
be taken TO the Station-house. He taken there
striking at the Captain and trying TO choke him by
pulling his neck.te ON the way. Barry must protect
Ills men: So after the polls closed, he had an or
der of discharge from Justice Brennan before the
Captain. This was not honOred. Aid. Fox was
sent for, but concluded not to accept Mr. Barry
as bail, especially as the Captain declared
he would not discharge the prisoner unless the
bail was just what it ought to be- Barry, however,
carried his Council District over McCay by aconsder-
able majority.
Before the polls were closed, ground pepper was

able fun and it estimated that considerable num-
Der of strikers earned their two dollars and halt.
