A Quiet Day and No Disturbance-Candi-
dates Court the Sovereign Voter witt
Mighty Grace and Courtesy.
Election day has come and gone, bring
ing victory to a few and defeat to many.
The fond anticipations of an army Of candi-
dates and their ardent supporters have
been blasted for a season at least. Every
thing passed of quietly, and but for the
fact that il was the 9TH of November people
would have forgotten that it was election
day, for so far as outward appearances
went there was nothing TO indicate
that the people were selecting their public
servants. so called. The streets in the fore
noon we're quiet and there was but little
stir, yet. as the day wore on things began
to warm up, and the hard work at the polls
began, which increased as the day waned,
and when the polls shut down at 6 p. m.
there was considerable excitement as TO
what the result would be. Never before in
the history Of Dallas was there such a quiet,
orderly election a. that held yesterday.
There was a marked lack Of that hurrah
that has heretofore characterized our cleo
tons. rhe free carriages with flying
streamers, bearing the name Of the candl-
dates were not near 50 numerous. The
voters went quietly TO the polls, cast their
ballots and went quietly about their bust
ness. There was no drunkenness or bots-
ferrous conduct, not even a fst-cuf, yet, at
the same time there was among the
workers a deal Of 'argufyiDg," as
an old cOlOred voter expressed II.
The republicans did not vote solid by any
means with the greenbackers for the inde-
pendent ticket. but went TO suit themselves
REGARDLESS of the politics OF the party Tor
whom tbey voted. Especially was this the
case 80 far ~ county Ofic r. were con
cerned. Some Of them actually voted for
ireland, the democratic nominee Tor gov
eruor, AID Tor Others on the state demo
cratic ticket. Many of them feel az
though the ~greenbackes were trying
to use them, and they rebelled, aud as
already stated. there were those who suD-
ported the slate democratic ticket by way
Of netaiia .iOn. OF course the majority Of
the party vlted the I-ndependenf ticket.
