Iney were then reloaded and taken tc
the Fourth Ward, where they voteo
again. This was frequent occurrence
and the wonder was where so many dis.
reputable people came from. The chal
lengers at the doorway we're kept busy
but the voting was fast and furious, and
in the four hours nearly six hundred
ballots were placed in the box. TIE
challenges seemed to have no effect
except to incite the crowd to shout, and
although several hand to hand encounters
occurred no arrests were made. Not.
withstanding the fact that every effort
was put forth by Walter Moore and the
Abbotts to carry the day the regular
caucus ticket was elected by large
majority. There we're three tickets In
the field, headed Regular Republican
Caucus ticket" The Irish American
Republican Club had ticket in the
| field and the Orc Fino Club had another,
but the forces were so divided that the
real caucus ticket carried the day.
Those elected were as follows:
r. B. Carpenter, G. A. Day, F. A. Glib

Wood, Geo. p. McLain, H. s. Clement,

THE THIRD WARD.
The Third Ward boasted of their tick
cts and it was here that the Orc Fino
Club ticket came out under It's own head
ing, although some of the members of
that organization repudiated it and said
they were not responsible for the acts of
one or two of their fellow
members. A licked headed "Regu-
lar Republican Caucus Ticket
containing the same names as were on
the Orc Fino Club ticket was also placed
in the field, but neither of these gained
any ground. Although at times quite q
crowd gathered at this polling place and
talked over the situation, there were no
boisterous scenes and the voting was car
ried on quietly. The regular ticket was
elected but the vote was not counted.
The officers of election contented them
selves by looking over the ballots and
concluded inside of twenty minutes that
the regular ticket had been carried
almost unanimously. The following will
be the delegates from this ward: Gen.
John Mansfield, J. w. Haverstick, J. G.
Byram, Gen. H. H. Boyce, A. J. McCar-
thy, D. w. Jones, DIR. w. G. Cochran,
G. G. Connolly, H. w. Edelman, Robert
Owens, F. w. Cherry, @. H. Gorham,

Monte, j. @. Wray.
THE FOURTH WARD.
The acts of the Republicans at the poll
ing place in the Fourth Ward were dis
graceful in the extreme, and as a result
no delegates were elected. The polls
opened at the same time as did the others
in the city, and closed at four o'clock,
and between these hours such a rabble
gathered on Main street in front of the
Engine house, near First street, as has
never before been seen in that locality.
Early in the day it was observed that
there was to be hot fight here between
the Walter Moore and Orc Fino and the
County Central Committee. The colored
population were present at this polling
place in full force, to support the regular
ticket if the County Committee worked
for two of their race upon the ticket.
Shortly afterward it was claimed that the
County Committee faction had
voted the regular ticket, but had scratch
ed off these two names. This
drove the colored wire-pullers to the
Walter Moore side of the house, and the
Orc Fino Club forces, with their aid,
made hard fight. The "free vote and
fair count" party seemed to be in its
element here, and the members OF the
g. o. p. will perhaps call to memory their
actions at the Fourth Ward with pridel
Barring few fights, of which no notice
was taken by the police, since no one
was seriously hurt, everything was good
natured up to within few minutes Of
closing time. Then a wagon-load of
'macs" was driven up to the engine
house door, and the crowd gathered close
around. Walter S. Moore appeared at
this time and raised his voice in the in
terest of anything except good order and
the credit of the "God and morality"
party. The language he used was not
sucl as might be supposed to fail from
the lips of one of the "kid- glove !"
politicians, and there was almost
riot at this time. At a
o'clock the ballot box was closed
and carried up stairs by the Judge of
Election, at that place. As many as
could, followed him up stairs and there
occurred an incident which for lawless-
ness has never been equaled in this city
at an election. Walter Moore was seen
to whisper to an individual in the crowd
who pushed forward and snatched the
ballot box from the table where it had
been placed The skid glove" mem
bers of the GO. P. stamped upon the
box, and not being able to satisfy their
vengeance in this manner, they seized
it and opening the window threw it to
the street beneath, where the ballots
were scattered by the wind. The Moore
contingent claimed in justification that
their opponents had in full view deliber-
ately stuffed the box and that the ballots
should not be counted. The Judge OF
the Election recovered some of the bal
lots, but the ballot box was kicked to
Mott alley, where it lay shattered
memento of the "Law and Order"
Primary of the Fourth Ward.
There were four or five tickets
in the field here, but this made no difIer
ence in the result, and the question now
is with the leaders of the g. o. p., shall
the primary be held again, or shall the
County Committee select the delegation ?
THE FIFTH WARD.
There were but two tickets in the Fifth
Ward and matters were very quiet in the
vicinity of the polling place. Voting
was not 80 heavy as elsewhere, and the
