QUIET CONTEST AND LARak VOTE
DEMOCRATIC GAINs-ARREsT OF
coLoNIzERs AND REPEATERs-
THE COMPLETE RETURNS.
The City Election for assessors and
Ward officers took place in this city,
this afternoon, and was closely con-
tested, causing quite large vote to
be polled.
The Election, however, was a quiet
one, no disturbances of any account
occurring at any of the Polls.
AS was expected the Ring made II
desperate fight, and had their repeaters
and colonized negroes in every Ward,
But the friends of reform were vigi
liant, and several violators of the purity
of the ballot-box were promptly ar
rested.
In the Third Ward, Street Commis-
sioner David IL. Coyle was arrested by
officer Woodward, for aiding and abet-
ting John Ilaggerty to vote Illegally.
Haggerty lives in the Third Ward,
but not having paid his tax at the
proper time, he was returned on the
last error list, and was therefore dis
qdalifled for voting. When Coyle was
arrested Haggerty fed.
Coyle was taken before Esquire Ha-
gany, who held him to bail, in the sum
of $500, for appearance at Court.
Warrants were also issued by Esquire
ilagany, rs follows;
For Simon Washington, col, on
complaint of u. McD. Roberts, for
voting illegally in the Sixth Ward
For Thomas Shay, on complaint OF
John J.. Richardson, for repeating
having voted in the Second and Fourth
Wards.
For James Tilghman, col, on COM
plant of Hugh Sweeney, for voting in
the First Ward and being resident
of the Third.
A negro named Joseph Tad, tried 10
vote in the Tenth Ward. and could give
no satisfactory account of his resi-.
dence. lie also presented a tax re-
ceipt signed by Lewis Mccall, Collec-
| tor for the Northern District, which
! gave rise to strong suspicious that he
haded voted in some OF the upper
Wards. He was arrested by officer
| Mullen and taken to the City Hall.
Alfred Graves, Cyrus Pritchett. Geo.
Ward, Andrew Loper, Andrew, JEFF. and
James Wlghman were arrested for at
tempted repeating, and are now in the
cells They were going from poll to poll,
headed by Graves. One of them, while
in the cells, said
"Fore God, if ] ever gifts out of dis
scrape, I'll never vote agin."
| The result of the election, rs will be
seen by the figures, is very gratifying
We have carried out of the ten wards
and reduced the Ring majorities in the
others.
In the Seventh Ward the fightiwas al.
most exclusively between the White
Voters and tho Negroes, led by a few
Office Holders and Office Seekers.
The Democratic majority in the City
is between three and four hundred.
Below will be found the full returns:
