j. Morrison Harris and Msjor McPhs. Mr. Harris
earnestly Urged upon his hearers the duty OF modera
lion IN tLeir IeoioDgs, and of an absence OF every

"Durirg yesterday our reporters visited all the
Wards at intervals during the day. and we hsve, 10
consequence, number of general and special iscts IS
TO the character Of the proceedings at all OF them
Personal statements made to them by numero us
individuals Of wrongs and outages either sustained oy
the parrstors or perpetrsted upon others. Violent
demonstrations we're made IN several instances by
parties ralying uncer the fash names of the clubs.
Voters were frequently beaten and driven from the
polls, and the complaint was almost universal that
naturalzed citizens Sere eitbes excluded from voting
or experienced the utmost difficulty in depositng taeiI
vo,es. In several instances members Of the special
police went to the Mayors Office and resigned their
commissions; Others simply removed their badges ana
retired with notifying sense Of their inefficiency.
Several complaints were made to the Mayor snd appl-
GATORS for additional force at different Wards, but
there wss 10 apparent improvement 10 any case. In
fact the Gay wore several OF the Wards were In
the possession Of who seemed pretty much TO con-
troll The proceeding Spch is an abstract OF detailed
reports. ~
voting yesterday the streets of the city were remark
ably quiet and until the time when the returns began
TO be received there was more quiet 10 baltimore
street than has been for some time. Pursuant to
the request ofe Mayor most Of the restaurants were
Close at an early hour, and aot opened again during
The Cay hight There was but little business OF any

nearly all the citizens"
One riot took place shortly after the opening Of the
polls.
Two exposing crowds encountered on Eutsw street
one at the Lexington Market and the other near Frank
lin street-seme four squares Intervening between me
tellgerent pares. The threatened space was speed
y cleared Of pedestrians and vehicse, and the t~o
forces stood ON the defensive, menacing each other.
Frequently the crowd ON one side would drop away,
put a feint Of attack by the other would rally the
strength Of bob parties and array them Ia hostile at-
tudes. Muskets and pistols were displayed, and an
occasional shot would be fred by one party As ataunt
70 the other At about IL o'clock ii became inevitable
that conflict would bs the result and the ;toIekeep-
ers OF the vicinity began to close their establishments
All the stores both sides of Eutaw street, between
Fayete and Franklin streets, were soon closed, AT
cafe distance from ths citizens gathered upon
The corners and the more timid from tee windows,
viewed tits unlawful usurpa.iOn of law and ordsr A
number of the police were upon the ground, aud Dy
their energy and prOmptness prevented coiisHn. Al
ore CLICK the unlawful gathering Is had weh ngn as
perse d. but the excitement continued. 70 greater or
or lees degree throughout the day and the stores re-
NAMED coeed in anticipation OF renewal OF the dis
tuIbance"
A party of rowdies made excursion out Of the
city. Says The Sun:
"Yes.erdsy afternoon, when the express train UPON
the Notf ern Central Railroad bound for baltimore,
arrived at Cookeysville some twenty-five disordery
persons took passage In Of the cars for this CITY,
They were all armed with revolvers, ard when the
train arrived at Texas. the rowdes commenced firing
through the car windows upon the citizens ana others
The FIRE was returned, and number OF shots were
exchanged. The firing crested the greatest excite
ment and alarm among the passengers on the rain
uspy of whom ladies' Some OF whom nid
beneath the seats, and the lives OF all were placed In
jeopardy"
Gu the whole, the rowdies appeared to have had
tbirgs pretty much their own way. II there were
fewer riots than usual il was because there Was less
opposition.
