It was not the fault Of tho weather If the cleo
tion yesterday WAS not in favor OF 1aw and order.
The Sky wss almost oloudloss, aud tho air warm
and balnay. There was nothing loft undono on
the part Of tho woathor. Early in tito morning
tue Chairmen Of tic different ward organizations
went TO their respective headquarters and got
packages Of ballots with which to mako war on
the opposite party. Then they repaired to tho
wards and distributed them to tho geutlomeu
who had been hired to poddlo them out to tho
froo and independent voters. The peddling out
began about7 o'clock aud continued for twelve
hours. There WAS not very much dono until
about s o'clock, when, III aoulo Of tho wards,
long lines Of men wero ut tho polls Whiting
for their turn to deposit their ballots. At tho
North Sdo polls these lines we're unbrokon for
hours, aud men voted as fast as they could tell
their names. Tho Anmo was true Of the polls in
tho Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, md Ninth Wards,
aud also in some Of the wards inhabited princi-
pnl1y by Americans. III the wards controlled by
Mr. Hcaing there was no lack Of enthusiasm,
and every nun WAS called out and nlale to yoto
whether ho wanted to Or not. The polls
woro in tho hanls Of lis alherentH,
aud thoy did their duty well. On
the West Side, tho Irish wards woro
completely in tho possession Of tho Hesing poo

whole, there was not much disorder. In tho
Seventeenth Ward, somo Of tho CitizonB' ticket
peddlers wero thrown into tie ditch after tho
tickets wore taken from tlom. Threats woro
uaado III tho Sixteenth Ward, and many timid
persons woro afraid to faco tho rowdies who af-
frontod thom. Some sllotE were fired on tie
West Side, rut ali over town facoB woro more Or
