NEW YORK November 4th.-The polls opened
at o'clock this morning TO the work of voting
under the new ballot law. An unusually large
number of workers were about the polls. The
Peoples Municipal League alone supplied a
small army of them. Politicians of every party
made unusual efforts to get out a full vote early
The voting, in consequence OF the requirements
of the new law. proceeded more slowly than
usual, but with greater steadiness. AT noon
there was greater proportion of registered
votes than is customary at that hour The new
ballot law did not seem 10 interfere to any ex-
tent with the voting in tenement-house dis
tricts. They had all been diligently instructed
in the use of pastors, and far more OF them
than of the original official ballots were used
In almost every district however, some citizens
lost votes through failure to comply with the
provisions OF the law within the prescribed ten
minutes A large number of those who thus
lost their votes were citizens possessing educa-
tiou and intelligence, but who failed to ac-
quaint themselves with the details of the law.
Many arrests were made during the day for
illegally registering and voting, and for destroy
ing ballots. number OF saloon-keepers were
arrested for keeping open in too near proximity
to polling places.
NEW YoRK-l0 P. M-Tammany Hall has
gained decisive victory all along the line over
the Republicans and County Democracy fusion.
Grant, for Mayor, is not likely to fall below D.,
900 majority over Scott. All the Tammany can
didstes for other county offices and Jucges have
majority of 10000 Democratic.
The ballot reform law worked smoothly as q
rule throughout the city, and the novel coudi-
tions of the secret ballot did not have pro-
nounced effect on the vote of the lower dis
tricts, which some political prophets had antici-
pated. This is largely due TO the energetic
wo. of both parties in educating voters in the
intricacies of the law before election. There
were few serious misunderstanding.
Grants msjority will certainly be p ,0C0; Cor
man, for Sheriff, 10000; Nicolls District At.or-
ney, 20,000 The vote for the balance of the
county offices will be very close to that of Grant
The Tammany nominees for superior Court
Judges and City Court will be elected by not
less than 20,f 90 msjority.
