election is being quietly carried on. By
8 O'Clock large number of votes was
cast. At 6 O'Clock the polling places
opened. All the banks, mercantile houses
and public offices are closed. To get
voters out early buglers and bell-ringers
were sent through the election precincts
before the polls opened to wake the
people up. In two or three districts,
owing to the non-appearance of election
inspectors the polls we're not opened till
8 or 8 O'Clock, and it is doubtful whether
full vote can be polled. One OF them
is heavy Democratic district.

Neacs' New York special says: All placer
of business are closed. The usual resorts
are deserted. Everybody is at the polls
There seems to be great deal of trad
ing going on. The Evening Nears man Wis
tied five polling places on Third avenue
and two on Seventh avenue. It wa
found that one could get vote for Har
rison at any one of them by giving vot'
for either the Democratic candidates 10
Mayor, Legislature or for Alderman. On,
ticket peddler on Third avenue took tn
correspondent and offered two votes TO
; Harrison if he would cast his for Coogan
the labor candidate for Mayor. The cab
man who drove the correspondent vote
for Harrison, Hill and Hewitt, and sal
the boys were going that way. The ticke
taker at the elevated station voted fo
Harrison in exchange for two votes fc
Grant, the Tammany nominee for Mayor
These are mentioned as straws. Ther
is as much trading as the Republican
: expected.
