ALARGE VOTE CAST LATE.

CHICAGO Nov. 1.-rne election in this city, and
as far as heard from throughout the state. was an
unusually peaceful one while keen interest was
manifested in the result as shown by the fact that
voters stood in line for hours IN dnzzng rain m
order to east their ballots. At the same time there
was an unusually large amount of scratching. This,
added TO the fact of an extremely heavy vote. and
TO the further fact that the number Of
voters in MANY districts pre- .udcd the
possibility Of getting IN all tie ballot :
before O'clock the time for closing the polls, aud
neccssIta.ed the continuance of voting into the

NEY SUCCESSFUL.
In spite of the tremendous efforts made by
the supporters of Cleveland to roll up
great vote for him in this city,
his plurality here was only 1,494
larger than that Of Hancock over Garfield.
Blaine poled q large vote in many Of the down.
town districts, being well supported by Irish.
American voters and by wOrkingmen generally.
But in the With and XIth Districts his vote
fell short of expectation.
Blaines total vote in this city was 00,O05
Cleveland's vote was l32.si2 making Cleve-
lands plurality A2,777. Buffers vote was
Unexpectedly small falling below 1000, while
St. Johns was trivial.
There was unusual delay in counting the re-
turns an immense number of "pasters" and
scratched tickets being used in balloting for
the local candidates. Frederick s. Gibbs did
not receive the hearty support from the party
in some districts which he bad night to
expect. The exact vote on the Mayoralty

II the county where they may offer to
vote. thirty days next proceeding the

voter not being required TO reg
- 70 remain in a voting precinct
NV stated time, gives great opportunity
,eneating or fraudulent voting.
while the law as it now stands may
90 some merit in a sparcely settled
country. as we increase in population
tbe purity of the ballot box is con
%stantly menaced. A man could mount
! horse on election day and by swift
r;dinp. vote in several precincts in this
c|ounfv without the legality of his vote
he;np questioned, except tor repeating,
nd this could not be ascertained
nerhaps, until after election, when no
me will prosecute the case.
Let every honorable c tizen be on

The penalty for Illegal voting is as
pillows:
'If any person not having the quail

vote. or shall fraudulently ATTEMPT to

Conviction thereof, shall be punished
BIZ Imprisonment in the Territorial
