ALL QUIET IN RHODE ISLAND


PROVIDENCE, R. l., Nov. So P. M.-Elec-
ton day opened clear and quite cold. The
election in this city is progressing quietly
The prospects are that Nelson w. Aldrich,
Republican Representive for Congress, from
the First District, will be elected
There are prospects of hard fight in the
Second District between Latimer W. Bal
lou, Republican, and J. B. Barnaby, Demo-
cratic, with the indications in favor of Mr..
Ballou, although Barnaby's friends are con-
fident of success. The Greenback vote
throughout the State, up to this hour, is
very light.
THE TAMMANY FIGHT IN NEW YORK.
New York, Nov. 5.-Election day opens
clear and very cold Thick ice formed dur
ing the night in exposed places. The fight
between Tammany and Anti-Tammany is
being carried on with determined vigor on
both Sides and the indications are that a
heavy vote will be poled. Betting favors
the Anti-Tammany ticket. The Stock Cot
ton, Produce and other Exchanges are
closed, and general business, to great ex-
tent, is suspended.
WHOLESALE ARRESTS BY THE SUPERVISOR.
New YORK. Nov. 81 P. M.-The election
is proceeding very quietly. 1t is impossi-
BILE to give any idea regarding the vote for
Mayor. Both sides are quite confident, and
the contest is close. The election of Nor
ton and McCook, Republicans for Congress
in this city. is conceded by the Democrats.
This is Republican gain of one Congress
man. The east side districts, where the
excitement is greatest, are polling heavy
vote. In what is generally called the
Brown Stone Districts there is considerable
apathy regarding the result. U. s. Super
visor of Elections Davenport is arresting
scores of men who vote on alleged fraudu-
lent naturalization papers of 1868. These
wholesale arrests will prevent many men
from voting.
Three U. S. Commissioners are sitting in
the new Post-office building hearing the
cases, and generally holding all arrested to
bail. Two other U. S. Commissioners are
hearing cases in the upper part of the city.
RUMoRs OF sTUFFING IN CHICAGO.
CHICAGO Nov. 5.-There are rumors here
that extensive and well matured ballot
box stutfing schemes have been discovered
and frustrated. and each party claims that
the other is the guilty one. A determined
fight is being made over the lucrative Office
of Sheriff of Cook County the Democratic
candidate being Charles Kern the present
incumbent and the Republican candidate
is Major Hoffman. The office is worth
about $50, 900 year, which is the principal
cause of the strife.
BEN. BUTLER BUSY.
BosToN, Nov. 5.-The last rallies took
place last night. General Butler spoke six
times yesterday, once at Salem, Marblehead
and Beverly, twice here, and at Lowell last
night. The greatest enthusiasm was mani
tested, and with torch-light procession and
meetings in fremont Temple and Fanueil
Hall, it seemed like holiday. The result
remains in doubt, but from news received
from all paris of the Stale the indications
are that the peoples candidate will be
elected. The canvass is one of the most ex-
citing that has occurred in the STATE for
many years, and each party is sanguine of
success.
REPUBLICAN SUPERVISOR SHOT.
BALTIMORE, Nd, Nov. 81 p M-The
election is passing off quietly so far except
in the Sixth and Seventeenth Wards. In the
Seventh Ward Samuel Wright Republican
Supervisor, was shot in the abdomen and
seriously wounded by an unknown party.
This Ward is the only one in the city be-
longing to the Fifth Congressional District,
and the strongest fight is in consequence
being made there against the election of DR..
