complaints were made against the police that they
did not escort the voters to the polls and take away
the men who, by crOwding and pulling and pushing
prevented their approach. This it appears the Off
GERS did not conceive to be included in their in
structIons. In the afternoon the polls visited
by number OF persons in hacks, some of whom
voted. The vehicles were not driven up to the
polls, but were stopped some hundred or more
yards off, and the illegal voters walked up and
deposited their ballots. Several arrests were made
| for disorderly conduct.
SECOND WARD.
These polls were held or Eastern avenue at Dallas
street. fence was erected a few feet from the
window and voters walked in at one end voted and
passed cut at the other But little disturbance oc-
Cured at these polls, owing in a great measure to
the fact that the Reform men made themselves verv

the polls, and at first the voting progressed quietly

the polls, there was considerable disorder and at
times it twas so great as to prevent all voting. As

would be a cry of "opeu the gang-wav" which
was in reality the signal for closing it. Lieutenant
Thompson was in command of the police and he
and his force were extremely active in keeping open
the access to the polls and escorting voters to the
window, which sometimes was a rather difficult
matter and Lieutenant Thompson deserves much
credit for his prompt and impartial action. He
secured the vote of every man who appealed to him
for assistance. Several blows were struck between
parties, but no one was seri0us injured. A young
man named Mckuny was set upon by a party of

judges attempted to close the windows, seeing

around the window increased TO such degree, that
it was almost impossible for Reform voter

only be done under the escort of a policeman.
Many citizens who tried to vote were pulled
and pushed about that they left the polls
in disgust About three o'clock hacks were
driven up filled with men, many of whom vo-

deal of illegal voting done in this manner.
party of men residents of the Sixth ward presented
themselves at the window and attempted to vote,
but the Judges recognised them refused to re-
ceive their ballots, whereupon they became disor-
derly and violent, but removed from the
ndow by the police. Just before the close OF
the polls hack drove up in front and sick man
was announced. Grab Ashby was sitting in the
hack personating the sick man, with a black hand
kerchief tied around his Jaws, and, apparently,
so weak that ne was scarcely able to
hand his ticket to "Red-Neck." who handed it
over the heads of the crowd, and had it safely de-
posted. Crab then gave slight cough, as though
afflicted with pulmonary disease, and the hack
drove off. As soon the window was closed, three
cheers were given for Callis and the sovereiqns
dispersed for tea.
