NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-Polls opened at six
o'clock this morning. The work OF voting
goes on under the new ballot law. An
unusually large number OF workers are
about the polls. The Peoples Municipal
League alone supplying small army OF
them. Politicians Of every party made
unusual efforts TO get in full vote early.
Voting in consequence OF the require
ments Of the new law proceeded
more slowly than usual but
greater proportion Of the registered
voters than is customary at that hour had
cast their votes. The new ballot law did
not seem 10 interfere TO any extent with
the voting. In the tenement house dis
tricts they all have been slightly instructed
on use of pastors and far more Of them
than the original official ballots were
used. In most every district, however,
some citizens lost their votes through fail
ure 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 education
and intelligence, but who failed 10 ac-
quaint themselves with the details of the
law. The weather was threatening early
but cleared later.
Many arrests have been made during
the day for illegally registering and vot-
ing and destroying ballots. A number of
saloon keepers were arrested for keeping
open in too near proximity of the polling
places. At Mayor Grants headquarters
II is said voting is progressing in an intel
lgent manner with little delay. At Mr..
Colts headquarters, on the contrary, il is
said voting is very backward. In many
down town districts il is estimated that
full vote could not be cast. Reports re-
ceived are also that republicans are vot-
ing the straight ticket. Supreme court
judges ruled that in the case of voter
being physically disabled an assistant
could be allowed him IN the polling booth.
The remedy Of the election inspectors
was 10 hold the voter for perjury II he had
sworn falsely.
One hundred and forty districts Of the
city give Grant 1900 and Scott IL ,S92 On
this basis Grants majority will be over
1000. Fellows, democrat, Is elected TO
congress from the Sixth district by
5000 majority.
Roswell p. Flowers majority In the
mated at 1900. The following congress-
men are undoubtedly elected: Fellows,
democrat, Sixth district; Flower, demo-
crat, Twelfth district; Warner, democrat,
Eleventh district; Cummings, democrat,
Ninth district; Spinola, democrat, Tenth
district; Campbell, democrat, Eighth dis
trict; Fitch, democrat, Thirteenth dis
trict.
From estimates made between the num-
ber OF votes cast in the several election
districts and the number of names on the
registry list, il is thought the total vote
polled will be about 22S,0O0. The total
number registered was 2i5,l6i.
New YORK, Nov. 4.-10 p. m. Tam
many hall has gained n decisive victory
all along the line over the republicans
and county democracy fusion. Grant, for
mayor, will not likely fall below 1900
majority over Scott. All Tammany can
didates and other county officials and
judges have an average majority Of 30
600. The new ballot reform law worked
smoothly as a rule throughout the city,
and the novel conditions Of the secret
ballot did not have the pronounced
effect on the vote Of the lower districts,
which some political prophets had antici-
pated. This is largely due TO the ener-
getic work OF both parties in educating
the voters In the intricacies of the law be-
fore election. There were few misunder-
standings.
NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-Grants majority
will certainly be 1900, German for sheriff
1900. Nichols, distric, attorney, 1000; the
vote for the balance of the county officers
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 10000 majority.
In go Of the 9iT election districts Grant
has over Scott 1866 for mayor.
Ed. Dunphy, democrat, in Seventh
district is elected.
