Twentieth Assem- bly, District.


In tile Twentieth Assembly district the election
passed on SO quietly that stranger IN the city
would not have known that anything unusual was
going on. The west side Of the district and in the
vicinity OF Fifth avenue the streets deserted
and wore Sabbath day look. on the east side
on Second and Third avenues where the polling
places as thick as blackberries, more activity
noticeable, but as inquiries were made at each
one the same stereotyped reply was almost In.
vartably received:-"AH quiet in this district. We
have made no arrests, there has been no fighting
and no attempts at illegal voting" The only ex-
citement noticeable was that occasloned by reports
OF RIOT and murder In the adjoining Assembly dts
trict. At No. S62 Second avenue an enthusiastic
young Hibernan attempted to vote in his lather's
name, but ne was detected. AS father and son bore
the same Christian name he was not arrested. Up to
the time OF the closing Of the poll the only arrest
Pierce, who at the Fifty ninth street police station
stated that he had no residence, was charged with
representing himself to be Mr. William Pierce, who
resides on Fifth avenue.

nothing to do with the polls Ia this district the
main contest was between william s. Murray, re.

most sanguiDe friends. Deerng's vote was also
large, but not anything like what was anticipated
for him. In the lower districts OF the Assembly
district Kapn polled q large vote. 1t was
early evident that Kap6 was the third
man IN the race and that the battle
was with DeerinR and Hanschell. At late
hour the result OF the Assembly vote was
not known, Deering and Hansohell running nip

was that Hanscnell was elected, owing to the aver
