evening, towards the closing Of the polls,
there was a gang that came down and
took possession Of the whole place, and oil

some thirty.aye or forty, perhaps alty.
They voted the Democratic ticket. He

they were Democratic. He had been the
Republican registry clerk, and, having
lived In the ward q score Of years, be was
pretty we'll acquainted with all the voters
In The precinct. The Republican ClAl.
lenRers could not challenge any Of this
gang; there was too mitch con.
fusion, 2 and besides the challenging
was not allowed. They were all pushed
away from the place as the gang came up
they filled up the doors, There were no
labotlng men In the gang Of forty at
voted, or at least very few. Moet oi them
had been hanging about the polls all day.
He saw Hoess, the Republican Judge, take
hold Of Ben gChatt, the Democratic Judge,
and object 10 the latter scratching O ticket.
The latter replied "0h, what are you talk.
ing about; ips only q temperance ticket"
The repeatefs came like an organized mob,
and they acted with method. They whoop.
ed and yelled. lie had never seen such
an attack on the polls made before, and
he was an old man laborers would not
have voted that way, Df, Pendefgast was
there about the same time the gang voted.
He had conversation with one Of the
Democratic Judges at the time.

Temperance Carried to lhe ExtrOme-An
pHuNuAl FlnO Imposed.
CmcAoo, Feb. ls.-The village Of
Evanston, north OF Chicago, was organ
lied as temperance town, and almost all
the people there have become teetotAlerg,
because the place was quiet and free from
the temptation OF drink. Despite the fact
that no one was in favorof licensing dram
shops, several temperance societies have
existed for q number OF years. But they
had nothing TO do until the Chicago
brewers invaded the town and In a quiet
way sold privately 10 residents such
liquors az were desired 10 promote the
health and happiness OF the inhabitants.
The Citizens League determined to or
ganizo a reform against this supposed In
iQuity. The Women's Christian Tenn.
psrance Union joined the crusade, and
resolved To hold meetings and rouse the
latent moral instincts Of the community.
John B. Finch was chosen to run the
meetings, aided by Major Singleton, from
Kentucky. The Ma Ior organized the
forces OF reform for desperate charge on
the private Btrongholds Of the enemy, and
FIRST boycotted the drug stores.
II Is contonded that the reiormers were
not content with this, but began 10 send
agents around to ascertain what private
fsmilies were served with bottled beer,
aud that an attempt was also made to dis
cover in what families Card.playing pre-.
vailed. BY this time an influential class
Of temperance people drew back, Mis-
Willard divorced herself from the move.
ment, hut Major Singleton still retained
his influence and was adhered 10 by q
body OF admirers. The trouble eliminated
Monday night u week ago, when the re.
formers introduced an ordinance before
the Board OF Trustees 10 forever prevent
tippling, public or private, within the pre-
oinCts OF Evanston. The ordinance pro-
vided a fine Of $500 for selling or drinking
o glass Of liquor. No exception was made
Id case OF sickness. With this ordinance
passed, the reformers would have had
things their own way, and cases were
already made out for prosecutions under
this act.
But an unusual opposition was met be-
fore the Board. The practices OF the re.
formers were denounced. Dr.. Hatfield
pronounced an inyeCtive against 1t. Az q
result, IL is claimed, OF the error Of their
ways, Msjor Singleton has departed and
the egpolnags ls stopped. The ordinance
comes up next Monday, but 10 certainly
expected 10 be defeated.
