Quiet Election and Big Vote i'm
RIOOklyn-NOt Much OF a Kelly
NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-The election is progress
ing quietly in Brooklyn, and it is expected that
by sIndown and when the polls close the total
vote will not fall far short of $4,000. The demo-
Gratis of the regular division claim that they
will elect their entire ticket, but the republ-
cans scout this idea, and say they are making
great havoc in the democratic ranks. The Kelly
boom does not appear to assert its sway with
that degree OF energy which his adherentS had
confidently anticipated.

large vote is expected from the country towns.

ticket would be elected.

fully authenticated by the tammany state
ticket being peddled from tammany boxes with
Cornell's name pasted at the head OF 1t over
