RICHMOND, Va, November THE
election to-day passed off quietly in
this city, except the excitement in
cident to the arrest of several cleo
ton judges. Attempts we're made
during the days by the readiuster-
coalitionists to vote on delinquent
taxes. Judge Christian, of the
Hastings Court, decided that the
law allowed only one tax collector to
each city and county, and instructed
the judges of the election to refuse
votes signed by more than one. The
United States supervisor arrested the
judges, and they were taken before
the United States Commissioner and
bailed for their appearance to-mor-
row.
A compromise between the United
States Commissioner and Judge
Christian followed, and the. votes
were received on both receipts, un :
der protest against one. A contest
will be likely to result. The delay
cadsed by this action caused many
votes to be lost on both sides, as the
polls closed while a large number of
voters were waiting to vote.
John Amber Smith, coalitionist
candidate for Congress in this dis
trict, was arrested here to day for
disorderly conduct at the polls.
He was bailed to answer.
