elective franchise accompanied BY riot and bloodshed

mostly abstained from attending the polls In some of
the wards naturazed citizens allowed to vote
and in the Eighth Ward and vicinity was dangerous
matter for nativeborn voter to approach the polls
less his principles were known to be Democratic. In
other wards there attempts by each party OBJ
sruct the approach of opposition to the polls that
gave rise to collisions but in most these outbreaks
of minor character and promptly suppressed by
the police At the Eighth Ward the most serious riot Of
the day took place. the fury Of the rioters being chiefly
directed against the police, Of whom was shot dead
and several others wounded The conduct Of the police
during the day marked by great boldness and de-
termined effort 70 suppress the riots and arrest those
participating in them. Whether it was in all cases skill
fully and imparaly directed is point upon which diff
ferent opinions of course entertained.
Annexed is the return of the vote in the different
