The elections passed OF very quietly, with but
one exception, where there were two tickets, and,
in the Fourth CTweeds) district where tr0uDld
might have been anticipated, only one ticket was
In the field, and the voting went on peaceably from
beginning to end. In the Third district there was
close and exciting contest, and the repeating was
such as to recall the palmy days OF old Tammany
Hail. Since the reorganization of Tammany Hal
there has been split in this district To heal this

each side and one from the Committee OF Organiza-

point one EACH Early in the evening the three In
spectors were In attendance at Bro0kes' Assembly,
Rooms but the inspector on the Gibbons side left,
refusing TO act. The crowd around the polling
place was immense and "A riot was expected every
minute The admirable arrangements oI the Four

and kept the crowd in tolerable order !
There were over q thousand votes cast. Some
men handed In o handful and others voted ten
times in twenty minutes, as witnessed by our re-
porter.

refused to count them all last night. As far as they
had counted the Hayes ticket headed by Ambrose

believe he is just the man that is suited for
the position. He Is just and infe xble, ana, be-
sides that, knows everything that is needed In the
position He has been there before and Is ac-
qua.nted with the routine Of the office. Mr.. Dun
can has none Of these qualifications, and imagine
has not enough stability OF character for the posi-
tion. 1t requires to q certain extent politician
for this place. Mr.. Havemeyer Is this to certain
extent, and, though perfect gentleman, is rough
and ready and blunt when occasion requires. And
with all this he Is honest-innexibly sO-and would
extrpate the bad crowd which always hangs
round our municipal Offices. Mr.. Duncan, / don't
think, has the strength OF mind to command these
elements, and Is certainly too aristOcratic to con-
troll the elements which are necessary to run sue
cessully in this city. He Is gentleman with money,
and think that Is oil you can say OF him. But
this hardly gives him claim to be Mayor.
