PENNSYLVANIA.
PfTTsBURG. October 1.-THE re
turns up to l o'clock indicate tht
election Of Negley, the regular Re
publican candidate for Congress. Tn
Reform Republican vote is not up Il
the expectation. The Legislativ,
ticket will probably be a mixed one
PHILADELPHIA, October 11.-Tht
election Is progressing with spirit
Colored voters are exercising the priv
iIege of voting for the first time. II
the Fourth Ward, difficulty occurred
between Aldermen McMulIen and
| Goldman. The latter struck McMul-
len for an alleged attempt to oust hin
| from the line Of voters. He ther
ran, but was pursued, and finally gave
himself up to the police. In the
Fifth Ward, there was a great crowd
the polls were obstIucted. Finally
the United States Marshals inter.
fered, but the delay will prevent a
| full vote, as the voters in one precinct
alone number nine hundred.
In anticipation of serious riot, the
| u. S. Marines had bee n brought ulo TO
the MarshaPs Office. and posted 50 as
to be available at short notice. Io
the Second District there was no can
| didate, and the contest was between
| O'Neil, the present member, and
Greedy, both Republicans and each
claiming to be the regular nominee.
The peOple are voting on the question
as to the location of Il public build
ings, and the excitement on the sub
ject brings out large vote, and thus
far the advocates of Penn Square
seem in the majority. Ia some of
the lower wards where the colored
vote is large. the eolored voters were
in line at the polls at o'clock this
morning.
In several precincts the white and
colorsd voters formed in separate
lines, and the yo'e5 were taken al
ternaiely from each line.
There is considerable scratching of
tickets. and it is thought VIM. s.
Price, Democratic candidate for
Judge of the District Court, will be
elected over the Republican candi-
date.
The posting of marines in the
neighborhood of Fifth and Lombard
Streets. where the difficulty with re-
gard to colored votes occurred, is ef-
fective in preventing an interference
with the regular voters.
