election heretofore occurring in this city
has excited so r1uch attention as that of
Tuesday. Everywhere 1t was apparent
that important Issues were at stake. Men
who had not been at the polls for many
years were active throughout the day in
Il 9 work Of canvassing. Order generally
prevailed, the only disturbances occurring
being confined to the lower portions OF the
city, In Tweed's district. The rowdies in
these parts were very violent, ,snd commit
ted outrages on pesceable citizens with
impunity. Rosa, Tweed's opponent,
was attacked in one Of the districts
by set of rufdsns who previously had
smashed the bo,e that contained the votes
for Rosa and scattered the ballots gem
orally. In this district repeaters and
thieves were in the ascendancy, and by
intimidation deferred many respectable
men voting the reform ticket. On the
whole, however, there is great rejoicing
st the success which has been achieved IN
the interest Of an honest government.
Immense crowds were assembled until
long after midnight in various parts of
the city awaiting the coming in Of returns.
