THE ELECTIONS.
New York.

NEW ORk, NOVEMBER I.-I TOUdpiy
on no preceding election in this city
has the betting been as heavy as on the
present one. The large registration
creates a general feeling that the elec
ton will draw out a heavy vote, added
to the complications caused by the al
legged frauds, have all had tendency to
make the result Of the issue to-day an
exciting one. The saloon ofMarshall d.

There were many exciting rumors
throughout the city yesterday of proba-
ble trouble at the polls to-day, but it is
not believed that any trouble will occur,
the authorities having made full
provision for preserving the peace, and
the whole police force is ordered on
duty, and, in addition, General Shaler
has rendered four regiments OF military
to be under arms at their respective
armories, in case their services should
be needed. All parties were busy
Yesterday making out tickets for the
election, and expect the greatest vote
ever polled in the city. The Reform
Party are determined that perfectly
fair election shall be had.
Most Of the principal houses OF bust
ness are closed, and the city presents the
appearance of holiday.
BROOKLYN, November There was
very little business done in this city
Yesterday. Everybody seems to be
engaged in politics. Three candidates
being in the field for Mayor, Kalb-
heisch, Powell and Booth, puzzles the
voters whom to select, and this is the
only Office for which there appears TO be
any serious contest in the city or county.
Mr.. Powell is the regular Democratic
Kalbfeisch the Independent
Democratic candidate and Booth the
Republican nominee. Both parties
were busy yesterday preparing tickets
and to-day there will be hard work done,
at the polls.
New York, November 7, P. NJ
The election is passing quietly tlsassfaf.
The preparations which have been made
by the police authorities served to quell
any show OF disorder at the polls and
there have been 10 reports OF disturb
ance yet at police headquarters. The
reserves now amount 10 l5O men.
Mounted men are drawn up in front OF
the building and eight coaches are ready
to drive detachments OF police to any
part of the city. The detective force is
so arranged that momentary commune
cation with the central office is secured.
Reports arrived at police headquarters
show that the reform ticket is getting
ahead in nearly all parts of the city,
but there las been such cutting and
pasting of votes that it is almost i'm
possible 10 Judge accurately. OBrien
is running ahead OF Bradley for Senator.

preme Court, is badly beaten by Barret,

Seventh district, gains a tremendous
victory. The vote between Slgel and
Shandley for Register, will be very
close.

was so badly beaten last night while at
tempting to arrest Owen Geohigan, now
lies in very critical condition at his
residence.
