The election in this city yesterday was an
unusually quiet one. The day was as unpeas-
ant as could we'll be imagined, the rain falling
fast nearly all day. The vote distributors were
on hand as usual but they were careful to keep
within doors, and on entering voter was beset
on every side by crowd holding three differ
ent kinds of ballots. The Cooper Cary tickets
were not plenty, and but two were thrown in
the entire city. In Ward Three Mr.. John M.
Todd threw one while some one threw one in
Ward Two. In Ward Three the Democrats
worked hard, and the Wari room was crowded
all day. Several amusing incidents happened
at this Ward. Among them we might notice
that of an Irishman, who was asked how his
name was spelled, answered: "And how in
in the devil do you suppose know"
In Ward Four the room was crowded by a
rather rough class all day, and voters had hard
work to reach the ballot box. We failed to
hear of any disturbance in any of the wards,
the best of feelings prevailing among all.
The usual number of teams was employed in
carrying voters by each party, but owing to the
storm covered carriages were used, thus giving
the hackmen a good days work.
Below we give the vote for Governor in Sep
TENDER and the vote of yesterday in this city.
1t will be noticed that the Islands redeemed
themselves and gave Republican majority:

MERCANTILE LIBRARY ASSOCIATION ENTER
TAlNMENTs.-The list of M. L. A. entertain
ments of the coming course is unsurpassed by
those of any previous years, not only in array
of talent, but variety aud attraction, suited to
many tastes and yet withal frst-class. Then
again there is the addition as extra attractions
without further cost, of the two chldren's en-
tertainments introducing especially interesting
and attractive features. We are glad to learn
that this course has struck the popular favor
and that the tickets are selling finely.
The opening entertainment will be Thursday
evening, Nov. 10th, a lecture by Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher. Subject-"The Ministry of
Wealth"-one of his very best efforts. Mr..
Beecher is corceled by all parties to be one of
the ablest, most eloquent and attractive lectur-
ers in America. No one draws larger au-
dences or wins greater enthusiasm. 1t is stat
ed by those who have heard him recently that
he never was more eloquent or interesting, sur
passing even il his former years.
In Montreal Sept. 21st, he addressed the
Theological students in lions church, that
edifiee being thronged. We find the following
in the Montreal correspondence of the Brook
lyn Eagle of Sept. 25th:
'Long before eight o'clock the building was
filled by a highly respectable audience, in
which were many Protestant ministers, some
coming hundred miles to hear him. When
he made his appearance a few minutes after
O'Clock, the vast audience rose and warmly ap-
plauded him, till he took his seat on the plat
form, where he remained the cynosure of all
eyes till introduced by Alderman Nelson. In
the meantime his appearance was closely OBJ
served, especially by the ladies, and divers opin
ions were passed. When he arose perfect still
ness pervaded the room and every word could
be heard distinctly. He spoke for over an hour
and was interrupted by frequent bursts of APP
plause.''
At Toronto, Sept. oath be preached to i'm
mense audiences. Says a Toronto despatch to
the Eagle:
SIN the morning at the North Congreg CATION
al church, and in the evening in the opera
house-under the auspices of all the Congrega
tional churches in the city, there was a great
crush to hearB rooklyn's famous preacher. So
great was the crowd indeed that several per-
sons were injured seriouly and many tainted.
Over 5000 were at the Opera house tonight,
and more than that plumber turned away.
Great crowds rushed to shake hands with him
at the close of his sermon. He received splen-
did reception in Montreal and Ottawa fromIthe
people. The CongregatiOnalists have received
him with enthusiasm wherever he has appear
ed"
The sale of reserved seats for the course will
begin at Stockbridges music rooms on Satur-
day next, 18th inst, and we advise all to be on
hand early. The course tickets are now for
sale at the usual places.

September and gains COS from 1872.
WAITING FOR THE RETURNS.
At the moment the polls were closed the
crowd began to gather at the newspaper offices
to get the returns from the several wards, and
to enquire "wbat time we shall probably hear
from New York" After hearing from the city
the crowd made rush for home to partake of
a hasty tea, or repaired to neighboring saloon
to get lunch, in order to be on hand to get the
first returns Before six O'Clock the Republic
can and also the Democratic headquarters were
thronged with people of all classes. anxious to
catch the first word from the contest. Nothing
short of the excitement incident to heated
presidential campaign would have called out
SO many business and professional men in such
weather. The halls were not only crowded but
the sidewalks in front were so blocked with
people that the police were obliged to clear them
to allow passage for pedestrians. The rain
affected them not in the least. They we're too
busiy engaged with talking over the prospects
to have paid any heed to anything less than
shower of pitchforks. Those in the hall show
ed the utmost patience and showed the utmost
good huuor. When the returns were read
every ear was all attention, and they shouted
or remained silent as the news was favorable
or otherwise.
Both headquarters were kept open until a
late hour, but somehow the Democratic people
were more jubilant as the returns came along,
and the Republicans thinued out and went
home by the most direct route.
