SAN FRANCISCO.

The Workingmen's Ticket Defeated in
Yesterdays Election = Irregularities
Claimed Which May Count It In.
SAN Francisco, March 3O-Noon.-The
election is proceeding with more than the usual
quietness, and at this hour it looks as though
the vote would be light.
SECOND DESPATCH.
SAN FRANCISCO March 30.-At $50 the to-
tai vote cast was 18,845, or about 5000 short of
the vote at the same hour at the last election.
At this rate less than 49, 900 votes will be
polled. Owing to the difference in the tint of
the paper the character of the ballots can be
known as they lie in the boxes, and those who
have been on the watch claim that the Citi-
zens' Union Ticket is ahead even in some
strong Workingmen's precincts. There is not
much talk OF scratching. An analysis OF the
vote up to 1890 shows that while strong Citi-
zens, wards are voting up to within one-eighth
or one-sxth of their vote at the same hour last
September the Workingmen's precincts are
from one-quarter to one-third behind.
THIRD DESPATCH.
SAN Francisco, March 3O.-The total vote
of the city, except two outside precincts. is 3d.
667. The vote of nearly all the wards is uni
formly 25 per cent below the vote of last Sep
TENDER. The tenth, a strong Workingmens
precinct, has fallen somewhat short of that
proportion, and the twelfth an equally strong
Citizens ward, is little over. There seems to
be general belief that the Citizens Union
have elected all their candidates, although the
outlook is less favorable, reasoning from the
totals of the various wards, than earlier in the
day. Much comment is excited by variation
in ballot paper. 1t is known that men have
been stationed at polling places during the day
to take notes of the color of ballots and per-
sons voting them, and the workingmen charge
that the Citizens Union put up a job purposely
to enable them to exercise surveillance over
the voters IN violation of election laws There
seems to be good grounds for contest over the
matter, and many hold that the ballots can be
thrown out, giving the election to the work
ingmen.
The vote as counted at $50 p. m. was as
follows: Citizens ticket, 3,241; Workingmen's
1882. Many precincts have not yet commenc-
I'd. The election has been very quiet.

which 1t is proposed to amend the law, con-
corning the appointment of deputy marshals
at elections. After a general interchange of
opinions the caucus unanimously decided that
the clause i'll question should be opposed by
all the Republicans in the Senate upon the
ground that it is a rider upon an appropriation

THE COHOES STRIKE.

The Workmen Determined to Hold Out.
CoHoEs, N. Y, March 3O.-Three thousand
people attended a mass meeting of the Har-
mony mills strikers last night. The men have
logged determination, and the concession of
their demanded rights is the only power to
move them. Committees were appointed to
visit eastern manufacturing cities to solicit
aid. Suffering has already manifested itself
among the extreme poor, and the city depart
ment is overwhelmed with applications for re-
lief. The strike has degenerated into a bitter
strife, and it is now question Of who can hold
out the longest. The mill officers exhibit no
signs of compromise. Both sides demand un-
conditional surrender. 1t is rumored that the
mills have agents in Canada gathering fami-
lies together.
The joint committee decided today to send
weavers to the eastern cities where work is
promised Committee claim to have 5000 for
that purpose and over 500 places to fill. Those
of the weavers who show the least signs of
weakness and the greatest financial distress
will be first chosen. Several families are now
preparing to migrate.

time the pirates have concealed themselves in
the right aisle of the chapel, and as the gener-
al sees nothing to account for the sound that
arrests his attention, he concludes that it must
have been the "sighing of the breeze" He at
once sings an ode to the evening breeze as fol-
lows:
Softly signing to the river
Comes the loving breeze,
Settii nature all a-quiver
Rustling thro' the trees,
Thro' the trees.
And the brook, ia gentle measure,
Laughs for very love-
While the poplars in their pleasure
Wave their arms above
Yes, the trees for very love A.,
Wave their leafy arms above.
Yet the breeze is but a rover;
When he wings away
Brook and poplar mourn lover,
Signing, wella-day!
Well-a-dayl
All, the doing and undoing
That the rogue could tell!
When the breeze is out a-wooing
Who can WOO so well!
All, the tales the rogue could tell,
Nobody could WOO SO we'll
The pirates are supposed to be unaware of
the presence OF the police, and the general is
supposed to be unaware OF the presence of
either, but this consideration does not prevent
all parties from joining in the chorus whenev-

general, whom they propose to put to death on
the spot. This calamity is ayerted by the po-
