pRt the Sixth precinct Of the Fourth ward, at No
7OI South Sixth street, the business proceeded
quietly, save now and then when some poor hepuD.
lican was challenged. He was at once 'necked"

At the Seventh precinct Of the Fourth ward, at No.
616 Shppen street. the voting was all on one side,
where the Democracy Of other cities than Phladel-
phia "did their duty nobly," as venerable Demo-
crat told brother Of his own creed on the spot
Democratic ticket holder aud well known person
about Independence Hall was here busy indeed At
one time gang OF about ten young roughs came
to within block Of the polling place, and were met
by this person, who lost no time in pointing out 70

before this reaches our readers wishes he had
been born, for the detail were evidently chosen Tor
Soweyar no blow hpd been stueS and b1 little eX
citement was apparent. Prophecies were rife though
that before midnight rough time would reign in
Alter noon, when whisky commenced to now, and
angry words were eXcnanged, a crowd on the corner
OF Seventh and Shipper streets started fight
among themselves, and pistols, knives, and black
Jacks were used promiscuousy on friend and foe.
This scared the decent portion OF the people away.
and in consequence, but Democrats were voting.
The Eighth precinct Of the Fourth ward is the
redoubtable Billy McMullins own particular work
ing place; hence here were gathered the "choice
spirits spirits, in good sooth. Here the
presence of Republican inspectors or canvassers
seemed farce, and solitary Republican ticket
holder seemed to know il.
He looked as though lie was every moment in
danger of being soused in the filthy gutter and car
ried away to cemetery, and the surrounding crowd
looked as if they'd like to do it. The man was wse
though, and held his peace. The ''unwashed" voted
unchalenged, and no Repu3licans during our re-
self was notto be seen 1t may be guessed though
he was not idle.
Keep Your Mouth shut!
! At the Seventh precinct of the Eighth ward an
| inquiry of the Republican outside window book
holder brought forth the reply that they vote just
| as they choose and darent say word If chat
lengcd one of these I'd be knocked on the head and
query to another Republican at this polling place
| brought the advice to our reporter TO be a little
careful "You know you'd better keep your mouth
shut down here: They're bouLd to have it their own
| way" And so till noon the "Bloodtubs" did
Wen Win Anyhow.
At Eighth and FalOn streets, well known as "a
sharp place." there was. as elsewhere certain de-
gree OF quietness but there were not wanting those
to predict only the calm before the storm Flushed
faces thrOnged around the window-book men, and
which promised well for bloodshed later in the day
Here, too, a policeman in "Citizens" clothes was
who referred him to Chief Mulhollands order He
continued his occupation, Notwithstanding the pro-
test, and deserves to be cashiered for his trouble
Democracy Ahead.
Eleventh and FitZwater streets, the Eighth div-
sion of the Third ward, was scene of turmoil from
early in the morning, and but few decent people
were to be seen at the polls Democracy was Of
course in the ascendant.
Tight Fight.
In the First division of the Eighth ward, at Eighth
and Sansom streets, the line was formed early and
voted pretty evenly during the forenoon, neither
party having any gain to boast OF. Although the
presence of the police not absolutely necessary
this placet would have looked better to have had

The Rounders in The Fourth Ward.

voters name being the list was partially adhered
to, yet there was disposition on the part OF the
9 regular manipulators to throw aside the lists and
vote everybody who presented themselves, providing
4 they voted the regular unwashed ticket
There is little or no excitement at any of the
