National Republican., 1883-05-02
VOTING AT THE FAIR.
Excitement Around the Judges Stand by the
Candidates and Their Friends.
Who Were The Successful Persons Last
Night-A Large Attendance.

Tho largo crowd which thronged the skat-
ing rink last night showed that tho interest
in the Light Infantry fair has by no means
abated. Tho visitors spent their money
generously, and the pockets of the pretty girls
bulged out with dimes and quarters OF course
the center of interest was the judges stand,
where the votes were received, as the ballot
ing on several articles closed with the
results enumerated below. Secret voting
began at o o'clock, and the boxes were occa-
sionally visited by friends Of the contestants,
who deposited in them sealed envelopes con-
tanning the money equivalent of votes. At 10
o'clock the boxes were closed, the contents
counted and the blackboards bearing the re-
suits placed In front of the anxious crowd.
As each board was put up tho rink resounded
with cheers, and the unlucky contestants
went about receiving the sympathy Of their
friends.
When the result Of the voting for the Gibson
Bros composing stick was announced aques-
tion was raised by the friends of Mr.. Mcdonald,
who claimed ho had won. Upon recount OF
the funds the judges statement was found to
be correct, and Mr.. McDonald's friend,
upon searching his pockets, found he
had failed TO deposit an envelope containing
$42 which would still have left Mr.. Mcdonald
z votes short, as Mr.. Nabers had total of
1895, and the $42 would only have made Mr..
Mcdonald 1,25S. The fair managers hope
the gentleman will call at the fair tomorrow
evening and vote the amount for some other
candidate
The Post yesterday, in its report Of the fair
voting, stated that Lieut.. Arnold had won the
silver policeman's badge with 1924 votes, and
that the result was greeted with Kisses. This
was very unjust to Lieut. Arnold. The bo-
lice badge was won by Henry Raft with 1858
votes and the Kisses were intended for him.
The Star and Critic made the same error.
The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, of course,
published a. correct report Of the
going to show-what the people of Washing
ton already know-that THE NATIONAL RE-
PUBLICAN is the only journal in the district
which can be depended upon in its news re-
ports. 1t is also the best advertising medium
in the city, and maintains an eight page cir
culation in an eight page town.
