DENNIS KANE, D.. AND ED.
MUND PROVOST, r., ELECT
ED ASSESSORS.

The Republicans gained ray Of
hope from yesterday election, through
superhuman efforts, vigorous work
ing up of their negro vote, illegal vot
ing, the aid of Tom Hinesley's Ei 1hth
ward roughs, and general careless
ness and certainty of success among
Democratic voters.
Their grand rally was made at the
last moment, and during Monday night
and yesterday they crowded their ne
groes into the tax collectors Office and
paid their taxes, in order to qualify
them to vote. AS soon as tax was
paid the negro would be hurried on TO
vote, and SO this continued until the
close of the polls in the evening.
The Republicans massed their efforts
in the upper wards, and through
shameless repeating in the Seventh
ward managed to roll up tremendous
vote there, while on the other hand
they secured the services of jail-bird
Tom Hinesley and convict "Blubber"
Davis to keep Democratic votes out of
the Eighth ward polls, by kicking up
convenient fights whenever Democrats
came up to vote. Both the leaders of
this gang were arrested, but Ii. +.
Pickels and Abner p. Bailey, the Re
publican candidate for Council stood
ready to bail them out all the time,
and send them again on their law de-
flying mission.
QUARRELs AT THE POLLS.
At the First Ward, about 2:30
O'Clock, a dispute occurred over a
negro named Jesse Jones, who was
brought up to vote by ID. +. Buck
ingham. Frank Donnelly, one of
the Democratic window men, who
knows almost every voter in the
Ward objected to the vote on the
ground OF non-residence, and called
Mr.. Buckingham's attention to the
fact that he vouched for Jones and
bad him put on the Seventh Ward
assessment, last Spring. Bucking-
ham did not deny this assertion but
still insisted on the admission of the
vote. Quite pushing and hauling
ensued, but no serious outbreak
occurred, though Jesse Jones was
hustled away. Buckingham then
went before Esquire Cole and had a
warrant issued for Frank Donnelly's
arrest, on charge of committing an
assault and battery on Jesse Jones,
by malici0usly striking him in the
face, with his fist" The warrant
was at once served by Constable
Hickman and Donnelly taken to
Esquire Coles office, when bail was
entered for his appearance at three
o'clock this afternoon.
In the Eighth Ward the Republi-
cans secured the services of that
eminent patriot "Blubber' Davis,
who, by virtue of his acquaintance
with the whipping-post, had no right
to vote, and was simply expected to
do the fighting. This he started to
do, but officer Boster promptly ar
rested him and landed him III the
cells. With equal promptness. how
ever, Mr.. Abner p. Bailey, the Re-
publican candidate for Council, bail
ed him out, and he again returned to
his duty of working hard for the suc-
cess of the Republican ticket.
Late in the afternoon great dis
order reigned in the Eighth Ward,
Tom Hinesley and his gang Of
roughs, in the interest of the Re-
publicans, creating constant distur-
Dances, in order to keep out the
Democratic vote. Hinesley was ar
rested by Sergeant Jones, and ii. F.
Pickles tried his utmost to secure
his immediate release on bail, but
his request was refused.
In the Eastern precinct OF the Seventh
ward, all kinds of n gro votes were ac-
cepted without question, while Demo
Gratis were generally required 10 SHOW
their tax receipts. BY this means the
Republican vote was swelled to larger
proportions than al any election since
The Presidential contest four years ago
