CONSOLIDATED VOTING.
Judge Lawrence Decides Against the
Installment Plan.


NHw YORK. Oct. 5,-Judge Lawrence of
the supreme court to-day decided that voters
must cast their votes all at once, and not
on the 'installment plan" The decision
was given in connection with suit,
brought to test the question, in which
the court is asked to restrain
voters from voting in this way. The con-
soldatlon act, the judge says, relating to
tue registration of voters and holding of
elections in the city of New York, satisfies
me that there is no warrant in law for per-
mitting citizen TO present himself more
than once at the polls for the purpose
of voting A voter must vote at
once and exercise his right of suffrage
at particular election. The consolidated
act makes no provisions for the event of a
voter to appear more than once at the polls
to vote 1t is required that when each
voter casts his vote, that the word 'yes"
be written opposite his name This pro
vision is only for the case Of single voting
by each voter. The opinion of the attor-
ney general, recently given, applied to the
general state law and not to the consoli-
dated act.

ulation we're among the most demonstrative
this evening They brought out a great
Cumberland ball, and not less than 500 men.
mostly colored, pulled it through the streets
cheering wildly. At o'clock this after
noon a crowd of about 500 congregated on
the four corners of Market and Penn
sylvania streets. Suddenly there was
commotion among them, and
they were set to cheering and yelling at the
top of their voices. TIE occasion for this
outburst was the appearance of a short
statured, grey-whiskered man walking
alone and coming down Pennsylvania street
toward them. 1t was Gen. Harrison going
to his law office. As he reached the
crowded corner, the ranks opened and
saluting to their cheers, he passed through
to his office, where he remained about an
hour.
At midnight the city presented carnival
appearance. A comic band is marching
through the streets, the members wearing
old plug hats and long lien busters They
are greeted with cheers, and applause at
every hotel, and they are making the
rounds Of the saloons, which are doing a
thriving business

and giving the amount to another chari-
table organization recently established,
known as the Home of the Friendless
The committee on relief invest gated the
condition of the Woman's Christian Home
thoroughly before taking the appropriation
away from them. For some time there have
been serious divisions in the organic alton
due to the fact that recently tho entire
Woman's Christian Temperance Union

assumed charge of it,..electing all the officers
INsTIGATED BY SAM SMALL.
This course of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union was taken at the sug-
gestion of Sam Small, who is at the head of
the third party in Georgia. As soon as the
house got under the control of this orPani
zation a number of ladies got mad, and th 9
former treasurer of the home refused to
allow any more money to be used TO defray
expenses.
The feeling between the two factions
began to form, and at the last meeting of
the city council the temperance union wing
appeared in body, headed by Mrs. B. f.
Abbott, and begged that body not TO dis
continue the appropriation. The matter
was referred to the relief committee, and
to-day they reported in favor of transferring
the appropriation to the new non bipartisan
organization, known as the Home for the
Friendess, and composed Of partisan
ladies who quit the Christian Home.

The Democrats Have the Advantage
of the Last Display.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 5.-The campaign in st.
Louis closed tonight with a big democratic
demonstration. Saturday night the repub-
licans excelled all their previous efforts
during the campaign with street parade
and addresses by state and city candids tes,
and the democrats did likewise tonight. AS
showing the deep interest felt in st. Louis,
it is an undisputable fact that neither party
has ever equalle1 the street displays
of Saturday night and tonight. The rnem-
bers of the republican state committee and
leading republicans assert positively that
T. Z. Kimbal will be elected governor by a
safe plurality, while the democrats make
counter claims for ID. K. Francis, their
nominee All admit that the contest will
be close and exciting, in the city especially.

DR.. Cochran Denies That New Decatur
is in Need of Help.
CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-A communication
firm Mayor Frey of New Decatur, Ala, to
Mayor Roche last Friday appears to have
stirred up hornets nest in Alabama. The
following telegram was received by Mayor
Roche this afternoon:
DECATUR, ALA, Nov 8, 1888.
Mayor Roche, Chicago:
The publication in this mornings paper of a
communication addressed to you by Mayor
Frey of New Decatur makes it necessary to state
the facts in the case at New Decatur. They
have had practically no fever patients to care
for, no nurses and no doctors to support and
pay, and no dead to bury. There is no famine
and no pestilence in New Decatur. do not
pretend to know the real wants of the people Of
New Decatur, but believe they have had a
great deal more help Than was really necessary.
In Old Decatur we have had about 100 cases of
yellow fever and thirty deaths, with all the at
affairs We have had, therefore, good
reasons to call for help, but
| have never undertaken to estimate the needs
of our people. I have left that to our relief
committee, and have helped them all l could.
| have not changed my policy at ALL l have
acted with the committee from the beginning,
and l am acting with them still.
This cannot be said OF Mayor Frey
and the Rev DR.. Gwynn. Those
gentlemen undertook to ignore the committee
and to run a charity mill on their own account.
AS to their motives, have nothing to say. AS
long as they looked after New Decatur. where
therelwas no fever refrained from any interfer
ence, but they have made persistent effort to
take charge of both corporations. l cannot un-
derStand why the mayor of New Decatur is so
clamorous in appeals for help. We prefer to
take care OF ourselves. Please give this TO the

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Nov. 5-Extensive
preparations were completed this evening
for receiving and distributing the retlIr MS
from Indiana. There are ,773 precincts In
the state, an increase of five over the pre-
cincts of 1854. AS soon as twenty precincts
have reported the vote will be added and
sent as the first election bulletin. Each
bulletin will give the exact vote of 1884 for
the same precincts. AS soon as twenty AL
dltlonal precincts have been reported they
Will be added to the first twenty, and the
result will comprise the second regular
bulletin.
RETURNS BY COUNTIES.
Returns by counties will also be ssnt in
addition to the precinct bulletins, but it IS
scarcely probable that any county returns
will be received before l or o'clock
Wednesday morning, as the ticket in
Indiana contains thirty-seven to forty
names, and undrr the law each name on the
ballot must be called off. This will neces-
sarlly delay tae returns.
The polls open from 6 to s o'clock in the
morning ami close at = o'clock at night
No counting is permitted, as in certain
other states, until the polls are closed.
