FIFTH WARD
There was an unusually heavy vote poied in this ward,
and the Inspectors had busy time all day long. Tho
law a. regards liquor selling, observed by all the re
taecabe establishments in tho ward, and tho effect was
seen in the few drunken and dsordery persons at the
rolling places This ward at time used 10 roll up
heavy whig majores, but Of late years the democrats
have had everything their own way II was remarked
old wings, who Will allate Win OF
new parties voted yesterday and against the democratic
ticket II was remarked also yesterday that all the
ssrouehs" who usually support the democratic candi-
dates yesterday the other side OF the question
rnere must have been immense sums o. money spent ny
the Tenann party 10 secure this kind Of help There was
no fighting the polls and only one person was arrested
for illegal voting He gave his name as William Robinson
and said he was by trade tanner lie was taken 70 TIE
Tombs.
There we're comparatively few fights the Sixth ward
Yesterday and with exception the personal damage
inflicted ,ring Mr.. Haggerty, Of the candidates
for Councilman was violently assaulted, and received
severe cut the head from stone thrown at him by
of his political opponents. Is not thought that will
prove very serious gang Of election bulles, number
ing between two and three hundred made descent upon
the nemann ticket boxes scattered the tickets about the
streets and broke up the boxes The ticket distributors
driven wherever they were found; but after
the Cang passed resumed their occupation with what
ever tickets they had left In the language OF OF the
policemen, othey went through the ward like whrl
wind and perhaps 10 this circumstance s owing the fact
,hat none Of them arrested. whriwnds
are rather dangerous affairs and the Of
scers holding their personal safety above
every other consideration interfere with this
The skrmishers who operated in smaller parties did not
e-cspeI however, there was nothing OF the whrwnd
character about them, and they taken into
toiy and placed in durancc VILE They were Patrick
Isiy, James Murray James Brown and G. Truman. Inc
tas, usmed insisted on depositng his ballot although
appears clearly shown that he not entitled TO
vote the ward Besides the descent made upon the
ticket boxes the bulies amused themselves IN tearing
dosn the ncmans posters from the walls
