The ElectiOns-The Keystone State
True TO the Republican Faith
PHILADELPHIA, February 1S.-Stoke
ly's majority is nearly 1000. The
Democrats gained members of the com
mon council in three wards.
Although intense excitement prevailed
throughout the city there was but on,
breach of the peace, and that at Twenty
third and Spruce streets, late yesterday af
ternoon. A fight occurred and police.
man, named Hamed Crawford, was sho
in the leg, and rioter shot in the arm.
The Democrats generally supported Nc
Clure, but in some wards, probably in the
Fourth and Eleventh, they cut him. Both
wards did not give him 400 each, whereas
the Mcclure party thought that each ware
would give at least 800. The Tenth ward
gave Stokely 1000 majority.
There was great deal of scratching or
the ward tickets, the Republicans refusing
to endorse some of their nominees.
* SCENES AFTER THE POLLS CLOSED.
The election created more intense inter-
est than any held here for years. A notice.
able popularity was the uncertainty at
tendant upon the close of the polls. Both
parties were jubilant. Fireworks were set
off in profusion at the Mcclure headquar-
tiers, and other evidences of belief of his
election were given. A similar scene, ex-
cepting the fireworks, was presented at the
mayors office. Mr.. Stokely addressed
the assemblage, saving that if Mcclure is
ever taken back into the Republican party
he (Stokely) will leave it.
M'CIJIRE WIFI, coNTEsT
Colonel Mcclure said to friend tonight
that he had been cheated out of the election,
and a rumor now prevails that he will con-
test the same.
RIOTS IN THE tGUT."

tiles infested by the notorious "Gut-

rowdies attempted to shoot police officer.
The latter shot and disarmed the man, and
four of the gang were arrested and locked
up. An hour later another row was
started by the same roughs, and citizen
named Sperry was shot in the jaw.
Another man was shot in the nose. The
police speedily quelled what was fast be-
coming riot.

Hon. E y Smith, Commissioner Of Indian A6dfrs,

My clerk was assassinated by Mime
conjon or Oncipapa Indian, who called him
out at two o'clock at night, during my alb
sence at the MILESTONE agency. The Ogal-
lalas are not to blame for it. They are
now guarding fhe agency. War parties of
Minnecopjons, Sansares, and Oncipapas are
all over the country. 1t is the opinion
of the Ogallalas, and also mine, that these
tribes have determined on war. The
Ogallalas are moving in about the agency.
and stand firm for its defence.
A general council was held to-day, and
the Ogalalas determined to defend the
agency, and prevent war parties getting
through their country. / again urge the
request that be furnished with arms and
ammunition to place in the hands of such
as will remain and defend the agency. Let
me settle those claims arising out Of the
removal of the agency. Give me a liberal
supply of provisions, and l will unite the
Ogallaas against the northern tribes. A
note from Agent Howard, of the 18th in
slant, says: ''We have been housed since

dark though do not anticipate trouble,
