PHILADELPHIA, October 1.-THE
election is progressing with spirit. The
colored voters are exercising the privil-
eye of voting for the first time. In the
Fourth ward, adifiiculty occurred be-
tween Alderman McMullen and a col
ored man. The latter struck McMullen
for an alleged attempt to oust him from
the line of voters. He then ran, but
was pursued, and finally gave himself
up TO the police.
In the Fifth ward there was great
crowd, and the polls were obstructed.
Finally, the United States Marshal in
terfered, but the delay will prevent a
full vote, as the voters in one precinct
alone number 900.
Sin anticipation of serious riot,
United States marines had been brought
up To the Marshal's Office and posted, to
be available at short notice
In the Second District there were no
Democratic candidates, and the contest
was between o Neill, the present incum-
bent, and Greeley, both Republicans,
and each claiming to be the regular
nominee.
The people are voting on the question
as TO the location OF the city public
buildings, and the excitement on the
subject brings out large vote Thus
far the advocates of Penn Square seem
in the majority.
In some Of the lower wards, where
the colored vote is large, the colored
voters were in line at the polls at four
o'clock this morning. In several pre-
Ieincts the white and colored voters,
formed in separate lines and votes were
taken alternately from each.
There is considerable scratching Of
tickets, and it is thought William S.
Price, Democratic candidate for Judge
of the District Court, will be elected
over the Republican candidate.
The posting Of marines in the neigh
borhood of Fifth and Lombard streets,
where the difficulty with regard to tie
colored voters occurred, is effective in
preventing interference with regular
voters
