"Where are my people now?" was the
despairing exclamation of many of the
friends of Messrs. Patterson and Fraim
at the close of the Republican nomina-
ton election, on Saturday evening, when
twas discovered that Capt. q. III. Gal
lagher had made clean sweep of the
city, carrying seven of the ten Wards.
d uring the entire afternoon the oppon-
ents of the Captain had been very san
guine, the Patterson men, in particular
feeling confident that their candidate
would surely win the fight. The result
was cruel disappointment, and the out
ragged feelings of the opposition could not
be controlled, but crept out at very favor
able opportunity.
From the opening of the polls at noon
until three o'clock, the voting was rather
slack, but after the latter hour tine ballots
began to drop into the boxes thick and
fast. Factional feeling ran high, andsthe
efforts of the enthusiastic retainers of the
different candidates TO run in the votes
for their respective favorites were the
cause of constant growl and quarrel
from first to last. But beyond an occa-
sional knock down no actual outbreak oc-
Cured except at the Eighth Ward polls,
where the adherents of Gallagher and
10Th full ..f Enh
whiskey, had general melee, during
which coats were drawn, shirts torn of,
and b ack eyes and bloody noses distri-
buted indiscriininately around. During
the progress of this row the judges closed
the polls, in order TO protect the ballot
box against the fury of the drunken mob.
Finally this rumpus was quelled be-
fore anybody was seriously injured, but
in short time another was started which
might have proved serious had it not
been stopped in time. One of Fraim's
judges desiring to leave the windows for
awhile, called Mr.. Charles Schoen, a
Fraim worker, to take his place, which
the latter did, at the same time thrusting
the tickets which he held in his hand into
his vest pocket. This action aroused the
suspicious of the Gallagher and Patter-
son men outside, and with one accord
they rushed up to the window, asserting
with the most violent oaths that Mr.. Scho
en- was about to stuff the ballot box in
the interest of Fraim. For few minutes
the crowd was determined to tear out the
polls, and only the strenuous efforts of g
few sober men prevented this lawless act
from being done,
THE VOTE CLASSIFIED.
The vote cast for the respective candi
dat IS is classified as follows:
For Gallagher, nearly half the negro
vote, about thirty per cent of the wealthy
aristocratic vote, combined with the par
ty wire-pullers and solid ward politicians
their numerous adherents, and hbera
sprinkling of beats and buns.
| For Patterson, fully one-half of thu
negroes, the bulk of the aristocracy, q
number of beats and shoulder-hitter
and few poor men.
For Fraim, few negroes and abou
eight hundred sober, decent, uprigh
workingmen. In fact, 1t is subject o
pride with Mr.. Fram that his support
ers comprised the respectable portion o
the city Republicans, who were unsway
ed by party manipulations, and voted TO
him out of sincere friendship coupled
with the opinion that he was the maj
best fitted for the position of Mayor
The vote in detail is as follows:
