setting up line lunch at the polling places
and afterwards at the headquarters of the
Peoples central committee.
| The Ogden band made THE HERALD and
Peoples headquarters a pleasant call and
showed their skill and taste in several
stirring selections.
Late IN the afternoon several soldiers
from Fort Douglas presented themselves
at the Fifth precinct to cast their ballots
Tney were challenged, of course, the chal-
lenges were overruled, of course, and they
voted, of course
/ Giant Harmon was on duty as deputy
marshal yesterday at the Fifth, and was
terror to bad men and little boys.
| The saloons remained slosed until 10
midnight, and then the orgies began with
whoop and howl. The business the
| dives did from IL o'clock on more than
atoned for the day closing, and needless to
say the Liberal hordes made up amply for
their long abstinence
The scene in front of The HERALD office
all day yesterday and up till IL O'Clock was

porter at each voting place, and hourly
bulletins were telephoned to the office
where they were posted up and devoured
by hundreds of eager gazers The crowd

H. Johnson threw out a number of comic
pictures which were variously saluted as
"Clute," Gee and Hyams, amid hearty
laughter. Cheers were given for Clawson,
Wells and Rumel, and Hon. John T. Game
appearing at the door was also given a
round. The crowd was in the best of
numor and made rousing bonfire of
HERALD timbers and boxes.
Lewis M. Cannon appeared before the
registrar to answer the objection of nom
residence. Upon proving that he was
born In Salt Lake and had always lived
here, the registrar distinctly overruled
the objection in the presence of witnesses,
yet when Mr. Cannon appeared at the
polls he was told that his name was not on
the list.
Col. Page remarked to Mr. John G. Cut
Ter yesterday that there was no power on
earth that could reinstate on the registry

Believing in local self-government we

A most instructive feature of YESTERDAYS
election was the open manner in which
soldiers in uniform voted in the Fifth pre-
clnct. Common decency would have sug-

home.
The following ballot was cast at the
Third precinct: This is a Republican
ticket, and when the party gets its shat
tered frame together, this will have a
head.'
The HERALD's lantern afforded no end of
amusement to those who were anxiously
awaiting definite returns. Once the cues

thrown on the sheet. From thousand
throats the answer came back: s.Hs's all

The announcement that RumeI had run
fifty ahead of his ticket in the Third pre-
cinct, was received with deafening roars.
Gangs of celebrators paraded the streets
last evening, some of them bearing aloft
the anchor, draped with Grape.
