lenging OF number of parties who were
suspected of having been in the State too
short time.
The Twelfth precinct polls at the City
Gardens were very quiet and the vote
was not very heavy up to O'Clock.
AT Nick Covarrubias' Stables, the
Thirteenth precinct, large crowd we're
present nearly all day, but nothing of
interest or exciting occurred, save the
occasional challenging of suspected
parties. The vote here was quite
heavy.
The Fourteenth precinct on the corner
of Fifth and Wall was rather quiet, al
though a large vote was polled. The
line was longer in the afternoon than in
the morning, owing to the fact that the
laboring people residing in the precinct
were then able to visit the polls.
A few minutes before 6 o'clock line
OF some twenty-fiv or thirty men stood
waiting at the Fifteenth precinct to de-
posit their ballots, and promptly at the
appointed hour the polls were opened.
The proceedings throughout the entire
day were OF the most orderly description.
The Prohibition and American tickets
| were but very sparely voted; while
Aguirre was scratched by large mum.
bert
| At the Sixteenth polling place, within
stones throw of the Fifteenth precinct,
the same order prevailed, and what little
scratching was done was largely in favor
of the Democratic side. Here, as in the
preceding precinct, the Prohibitionists
were being snubbed.
| The vote in the Seventeenth precinct
was heavy, and but one incident oc-
cured to mar the order otherwise pre-
vailing. A discussion at the opening oi
the polls resulted in brief but bloody
encounter, during which one of the dis.
putants was knocked down. The par.
Elephants, however, were promptly
separated by the officers. The majority
of the Republican tickets were scratched.

ocratic workers were stationed here an6
labored hard to beat down the supposed
Republican majority of the precinct.
There was little or no excitement man

place on West Seventh street, the only
incident worth chronicling being that a
about 10 A. NJ, the Democratic Commit
