Soon the Sixth ward ST Allegheny was bulle-
tined with rough picture Of foaming beer
schooner below it, and was greeted by yell
from the ants. Next bulletin with picture
OF tea-cup and saucer was posted, and tne
Prohib yell showed that they were not in the
minority in the crowd.
The crowd good naturedly grasped the
humor of the pictures in a moment, and the
tail ends, surged in one big mass of over
thousand people in front of THE DISPATCH
office, crowding the entrances of the Grand
Opera House and Harris Theater, and block
ing the street solidly. Other bulletins; accom-. ,
Shake" 'sMoxie." "Mononeahela Water"
picture of whisky barrel, etc. were pasted,
ana eagerly grasPed by the crowd with alter stI
letined as ''wets," the other as 'drys."
"Five hundred and fifty beer tickets" yelled
one and the hubbub that followed resembled
panic in theater on fire. "Dutchtown to the
'front.'" yelled another, but was drowned by
"hurrah for spring water" by hundreds of
throats.
TRULY COSMOPOLITAN.
The crowd was made up of workmen. we'll
dressed young men, staid old lawyers, business
women, and all classes, who either smiled
more often audlbly, or scow,ed as the bright
light in front of the bulletin board flashed be-
fore their gaze the returns from wards, towns,
cities and counties. As the hour grew near
the hour of another day-the interest did not
aDaIe, ana the crowd, II anything only grew,
as it was reinforced by the indoor amusements
then 'let out"
Besides THE DISPATCH, the returns were
bulletined by all the other morning papers. On
Wood street, before the Office of the Post, was
another crowd, though vastly smaller than on
Fifth avenue. The enterprise of the two
German papers was not. lost either on their ad-
herents. At 10 o'clock over 1,200 people were
in front of the newspaper offices on Fifth ave-
nue.. and from rough count the eyes of fully
LOCO of the number were turned toward The
DISPATCH bulletins.
Shortly after 10 visit was paid the Western
Union offices, the source of the returns, and a
busy scene was presented. Seventy-6ve opera
tors were copying the returns or sending them
again to from all parts of the State. AS bull
letln came in it was sent down to the booking de-
partment and 30 or more manifold copies of it
taken. These were then given to the operators
on different lines and wired to the anxious
crowds at each place. All went off as
smoothly as routine business. In a chat
in regard to the returns Superinten-
dent Rowe said: 'Tt has become an
old thing with US. We are used to il. We 90
through the same thing so often that we all
know just what to do, ahd do it without any
friction. The managers of the different offices
did not need any instruction beyond a few
words informing them that we were going to
take the returns and where the distributing
points were to be. They have all been through
more than one election"

THE SECOND AMENDMENT.
Many Intelligent Persons Ignorant That it
Was Before the People.

One of the most remarkable features of the
day was the ignorance expressed by many
voters concerning the suffrage amendment.
Many of the most intelligent voters in the city,
persons that one would imagine certainly
would keep posted on current events. and
especially on subject SO grave and important
as an amendment to the Constitution of the
State, didn't even know that it was to be voted
for. When they went to the polls they didn't
know how to vote, because they didn't
know the provisions of the amendment.
Hundreds and even thousands of votes were
cast against it by persons who knew nothing
about it. There was an abundance of tickets
to be found at all the polls Against the Stuff
rage Amendment" but it was hard to find one
for it at all places. and in some precincts there
were no tickets at all marked 'For the Stuff
rage Amendment" Then in some wards,
notably the Fifth ward, every voter who came
up was urged to vote against the suffrage
amendment on the plea that it was only
scheme of the Prohibitionists to carry the cleo
tion the next time they tried it, 1t was also
claimed that the change from 80 days to 30
days residence in a precinct would give oppor.
tunity for colonization.
1t took great deal of talk with some voters
to explain to them what the suffrage amend
ment meant, but. as they knew little about it
even then, many persons voted against 1t

THE BOTTLE MAKERS.

They Voted Almost SoIidly Against the
Amendment Information at Their
General Hendqunrfers-They
Believed They Were Vot-
ing for the Interests
of Trade.
1t is safe to say that the American Flint Glass
Workers voted for the defeat Of the amend
ment. Those in charge at the offices OF the
order in Hamilton, Lemon, Arnold and Com
pany's building stated yesterday that from an
exchange of views with large number OF the
Flints," it was pretty certain that fully 9S per
cent of the members of the order voted solidly
with the "antis." There are between 1SO0 and
200 members in Allegheny county and 5000 In
Pennsylvania, which would make the gain to
the antis of no small amount
Certainly, they voted against the amend
ment," said one. SIT was to their interest to
do so, and they all realize it. No action was
taken by the order. as body, as you probably
know. 1t was not necessary and it was under
stood that every man knew which way he
wanted to vote, and what was to his interest.
Besides it was not the place of the order to
dictate. l am a temperance man mysei1,
but ! just cast my vote against tne
cause prohibition is not temperance
and have no right to say that another man
shall be temperate. The same argument ap-
plies to the question in all its phases. You Will
tind that there are as many in the order tnat
are temperate in principle as are not, and as
many more that drink, but still would vote Ior
temperance, but they consider the prohlDltion
amendment against their interests, and not q
consistent temperance movement and helpeo
to vote it down."

THE REASON WHY.
Ed. Murphy Says Money and Ignorance Beat
the Amendment.

Ed. Murphy Says Money ana Ignorance Beat
the Amendment.
Ed Murphy, the young temperance apostle,
was asked by DISPATCH reporter for his
opinion at 10 o'clock last night, just as he was
preparing to 60 home from the Prohibs' head
quarters.
II will give it very few words" said he. "We
are badly beaten in this fight, but the temper
ance cause is not weakened in the least-no, it
has been strengthened. The general senti-
ment will be much stronger for the cause here
after. You can attribute our defeat to the
votes of the large clties-Philadelphia and
Pittsburg-which were controlled by means of
machine business and an immense amount
of money"
The suburban districts were In most cases for
the amendment, but the large vote of the cities
counterbalanced their effect. In the city there
Is an element composed of uneducated foreign
ers and unprincipled men who think more Of
money than they do of morality. That's the
reason the antis won. Don't you think. though,
that we are through with this fight. We gave
them good scare this time, and had it not
been for the liquor mems liberal outlay Of
shekels we would have been victorious"
Mr.. Murphy estimated that the majority
against the amendment would be $1,000 IN the
State, judging alone from Allegheny county.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-06-19

and in all the precincts except at Hyndman's,
the First in the Twentieth ward, and Frenger's,
the Third in the Nineteenth ward, the voting is
3 to in favor of the amendment In the other
1t is quite the reverse, l think.
WOMEN AND SINGING CHILDREN.
Going up the stairs the reporter uncon-
sciously lifted his hat as he peeped in the door
and saw about so ladies kneeling in fervent
prayer for the cause Of prohibition. Among
the number were many young ladies, well
known in the East End and the city. The
ladies soon arose and started off to the polls
again or to their several homes for refresh
ments. to resume the fight again after supper.
Atall the other precincts, except at Frenger's,
the ladies were not interfered with and were
treated with respect. A liquor man said they
prevented bantering at the polls and were
some good. at least The polling places were
usually quiet and the strife for votes still
hunt.
In the afternoon Mr. Elwood, prominent
prohibition worker, hired band and fixed up
a wagon with placards telling the good citizens
to vote for their homes, save their sons from
being drunkards, etc.
In another wagon driven through another
portion of the East End, were number of
children dressed in white blouses and turbans,
One carried banner on which was inscribed:
"Vote for Mamma and Me-"
The vote cast was unusually large at all of
the precincts. At the Oakland schoolhouse g.
votes were cast by s o'clock. where 16 to Is has
been the number cast usually at other elections.

WHAT C. L. MAGEE, ESQ.,, SAYS.
The Political Leader Thinks Those Party
Pushers Learned Lesson.

The Political Leader Thinks Those Party
Pushers Learned Lesson.
Mr.. c. L. Magee was rather sententious in his
utterances. and seemed to think but little COM
ment was necessary. but spoke of the pro-
hibition movement as ill-advised from the start.
He said the result was not unexpected, and
that the issue was started wrongly In the con-
vention of 1S86-a convention that had no other
business to do than to nominate State officers.
he then took the ground that there was no
more reason to expect reform from prohibition
in Pennsylvania than in any other State where
there had been abundance of blossom, but only
small return of fruit, and that blasted.
MIR. Magee seemed to thing that many men.
really of temperance proclivities. had voted
against the amendment on conviction that it
would prove ineffective.
Mir. Magee also seemed to think the matter
had at IL 20 o'clock, resolved itself into ques-
tion of big majority and was directing his efforts
in the way of figures on Allegheny county.
The gentleman's views seemed to squint
rather toward local option than to general pro-
hibition. and he spoke of the question being
handled by legislative districts in preference to
the manner in which it was launched.

where on the
Streets
At probably no other point in the two cities
was the contest for votes more vigorously
fought by both sides than in the East End
yesterday The ladies of the w. G. T. U. were
out early in full force-over hundred of them,
and they were out to win, at least in their
field of the conflict as all affirmed. The bells
of DR.. Kumler's Church, Emory NJ. E., and
several others were rang from time to time,
and services held all day in nearly all of the
other churches. The ladies were fitting to
and fro between the polling places and seemed
baffled at naught which would induce man to
vote their ticket. Three or four always man.
aged to stay at each polling place. The tables
of persuasion of each party were generally on
opposite sides of the doors.
At Alderman Hyndman's office, the polling
place of the First precint of the Twentieth
ward, three ladies, an old man and other
younger man represented the ''prohibs'' on one
side of the door. On the other
HOST OF "ANTIs"
were watching that the anti-votes went in.
On the table was box of tobies, as a prize
given with each anti vote. At Frenger's
f1OJel buc pItCluCt Lu6 NlutbceuLu
ward, the ladies got set back. They were
excluded entirely and resented it hotly. Said
one: ..
Don't you believe, they wouldn't let us
come near the polling place and even locked
the pump up so we could not get any water
Our men were just sweltering for something to
drink and we had to carry water in buckets for
them"
Mr.. Frenger was afterward seen, and said
he locked the pump at 8 o'clock because he
didn't want SO much water carried away, but
in the afternoon unlocked 1t again. The ladies
were indignant to the extreme, and one young
lady said: "Our men shall have water if we
have to drill a well right here in the street.;
we mean business, and they don't want to stop
the flow of the Lords beverage or there will be
trouble"
A LITERARY GAME.
The ladies looked askance at the flaming DOS
tiers of the Ants. with the quotations from
Lincoln on, and at last one was delegated to go
home and look for some quotation to counter.

THE EX-COUNTY CHAIRMAN.
As a Chieftain Of the Democracy, He Says
Prayer Won't Work.

William ]. Bremen, Esq, was jubilant; SO
much so that he set up the soda water for the
crowd. When asked what he thought brought
it about tit had been decided at that hour that
the State had gone wet), he said:
"The temperance people tried to pray it
through. and prayer won't work. The liquor
men had organization, and as Napoleon said
of artillery, so l think in politics, Providence
is on the side Of organization and hard work.
THE whole tenor of liquor legislation has
been wrong. Liquor should be treated as any
other commodity is. That is the way to de-
crease the abuse of it.
Il hoped the suffrage amendment would win
also. My experience has been that the poor
vote more intelligently than the rich, and are
fully as honest, If not more so; more so. ]

Members of neither the Republican or Demo-
cratic party could scarcely be convinced thas
the leaders of both the great parties had agreed
that the suffrage amendment should pass.
