''Shoot themw yelled somebody u the
crowd which looked on.
Il have no pist0l,' he replied and ran
down the street pursued and continually
struck for about block.
So great was the crowd of desperate char
acters around Rudolph and so frequent Tie
rows that the police patrol wagon was
called out three times, but the officers were
unable to make any arrests, as the heelers
stopped when they approached. The Duy-
ing Of votes was as open and disgraceful as
on the water 'front.' In some cases the men
bought were so drunk that they had to be
led up to the ballot-box.
In the Eleventh Special Officer Ecksteln
of the POwell-street road attempted TO vote.
About Il week ago he moved his family from
the precinct, but still retained his residence.
Nick Harrington, Democratic Inspector OF
Election, refused to receive his vote unless
Eckstein would not permit and went TO see

that somebody else had performed that act

Last Nights News at Headquarters
Pleased Them All Very Well.
In the rooms Of the Republican State Gen.
trail Committee yesterday the assembled
statesmen had little to do except to look
over the vote cast two years ago and to
speculate on the changes that circumstances
and the Mckinley bill would make in the
contest between Colonel Markham and Mr..
Pond.
The main interest centered in this fight,
and the watchers We're cheered from time to
time by special kilograms giving tidings of
how the good work was going on in the in
terror. Encouraging news was received
from the southern portion Of the State,
showing that the people Of the orange
groves had not forgotten their pledges to
the noble champion from Pasadena.
In the evening telegraph operator took
his position at the table SO aSsduously at
tended heretofore by Secretary Higgins of
the Campaign Committee, and soon the in
strument before him began to tick out happy
figures, telling that the Republican army
had performed its duty nobIy.
Nearly all the prominent Republicans OF
the country within reaching distance Of this
city were present, and congratulations were
exchanged with hearty good will as favor
able returns were bulletined from time to
time. Chairman Stump wore conten ted
smile. He said he thought it safe to predict
Colonel Markham's victory by a good safe
majority,
The returns from nearly all of the interior
precincts, so far as reported, showed satis-
factory Republican gains. This was true
not only of the head Of the ticket, but in
cluded other prominent candidates.

More Than Once.
There were few disturbances in that Sec
tion of the Thirty fifth Assembly District

armed by Officer Fitzhenry and placed under
arrest. On the way to the Southern Station
William Hunt, another Buckley bruiser,
pounced upon the officer, and during the
struggle the prisoner, whose true name Is

weapon and carrying concealed weapon.
In the Eighth Precinct man giving the
name of Pat Kelley was taken into custody
by Officer Nettleton for attempting to OBJ

recognized and arrested. Foley afterward

Thomas OBrien was very drunk when he

continuously.
Deputy Marshal Hunt also arrested Will

gal voting. Walker swore in his vote, as
serting that he also lived at 2i6 Third street.
In many places in the Ninth and Tenth
precincts posters and banners, advertising
James Glleran for Superintendent of Streets,
were openly torn down by band of Buck
ley thugs.
One of the most exciting incidents of the
day was the chase of eX-Supervisor James
Lambert after young tough who had taken
possession of team and buggy whi oh had
been hired by .lambs" in the employ of
William kreling. When Lambert saw his
team being driven past his stable at break

His Non.

A Fathers Vote Is Taken for That -
His Son.
The Thirty-third Assembly District WAS
comparatively quiet compared with the e1-
citing scenes in the Thirty-second. Voting
was done early in most of the precincts, and
little excitement prevailed.
In the Third Precinct there was small
difficulty. j. F. and j. H. Thomas, father
and son. were registered. The father voted
first. and the officers of election struck off
the sons name. When the son came to vote
he was told that his vote had already been
cast. A row ensued, and the young man
was arrested, but when matters were ex-
planned he was released.
In the Fourth nonresident was given
into custody for attempting to vote, but lt
was shown that he mad made mistake and
was allowed to go. Most of the voters, in
stead OF taking tickets from the tables at the
polls, ,ihad them already carefully folded up
and ready for the ballot-box.
Officer Reynolds arrested Henry Boedeck-
er, a groceryman. in the Sixth Precinct OF
the Thirty-third District for Interfering with
an officer. Boedecker was under the nfiu-
ence of liquor TO some extent and created no
end of trouble at the polling place.

FoKTY-sEvENrH DISTRICT.

Quiet Voting and Heavy Vote Polled
Early In the Day.
The Forty-seventh Assembly District was
one of the most peaceful districts in the
city. This was due to there being no cause
for complaint by the rougher element.
Even the law that closes saloons was not
complied with to their Inconvenience.
Voting in every precinct Of this district
was done quietly aud early, and half OF the
entire vote was polled before noon; and at
o'clock not more than eight to twelve
votes remained yet to be cast, In the
nominee Tor Superintendent Of Streets, en-
crossed the attention of at least q dozen
canvassers. Throughout the whole district
William II. Lyman. the Democratic nominee
for Supervisor of the Eleventh Ward, had
hard fight to hold his own. DR.. O'D0nnell's
name was substituted by the butchers Of
Butchert0wn and the Potrero for that OF
GOad, and the same was done by the Demo-
Gratis OF South San Francisco.
When the invaIids and inmates Of the

with a fighting face accompanied Nagle, and
order to some extent was at once estab-
lshed.
All the well-known Democratic workers
put in their best efforts to bring the coy voter
up to the scratch. Jake LindO, Billy Fitz-
gerald. Paddy Ryan talked mellifiuously
and strong army of strong shoulder
strikers hovered near. The Republicans
had their men there too, headed by A. B.
Truman, and successfully coped with their
opponents 1t was freely whispered that
votes were worth SO apiece and both sides
accused each other of buying in stock at
these figures. About 4 o'clock the Demo-
cratic side grew very anxious and in response
to urgent calls Jerry Driscol. Buckley's
chief of staff, came hurryiDg down and was
extremely busy around the polls. The
crowd increased in number in the hope that
it would see free fight, but in this it was
disappointed. for at 8 o'clock, when tho polls
closed, no actual conflict had taken place.
The precinct was very closely pollsd, as out
of the 172 votes registered only eighteen
were not represented by ballots.
Several arrests for attempts to vote
illegally were made, the most notorious one
being that of George Fish in the Fourth
Precinct He claimed to be resident of
the Brooklyn Hotel. though it was stated
on good authority that he is Democratic
Wire-puler from San Quentin.

The election in this city yesterday was
uneventful, with the exception at few poll
ing-places where attempts we're made by
Buckley's lambs. in their desperation, to
stuff ballot-b boxes and vote fraudulently.
1t was quite apparent from their conduct
and appearance that the Republican ticket
was in the lead or making heavy gains in
almost every precinct In the residential
precincts larger Republican vote was cast
than ever before, which plainly showed that
deep interest was felt in the success of
that party, while auguring well for its GER
tain victory; and, on the other hand, fall
ing off was noticed in most Democratic dis
tricts, particularly so from the boss
ticket" DR.. 0'Donnell was substituted
quite generally for Buckley's henchman, and
Reform Democrats seemed to get the votes
of many reputable Democratic voters. all of
which was significant indicating not alone
a new era in municipal politics, but the re-
vulsion of sentiment against boss rule and
corruption.
The day was observed as half-holiday
in the wholesale districts, while uptown
little or no business was done. Indeed, COM
mercial pursuits were forgotten by men in
their anxiety about their friends who were
candidates. The police were agreeably sur
prised by the absence of serious trouble at
the polls, for extensive precautions had been
taken to preserve order and project tie bal
lot; but remarkably little jiscord prevailed,
however.
In comparatively few polling places was
there any disturbance, and that was created
by despondent members of "de gang" who
had 10 directions as of old from their
"boss." Buckley was missing at his old
haunts; there was no master hand to direct
the gang to wreck ballot-boXes or stuff them
all according to existing codes. His favorte
lambs were in his place, attending to their
peculiar business III the election, such as
buying votes secretly and by auction, etc
1t was notorious fact that these fellows
stood near many polling booths and bought
votes at prices ranging from 50 to So apiece
But tricky as they are they lacked the asute
chicanery of the boss" and accordingly
Buckley's toughS were not nearly SO usef III
as before in arranging for majority for his
pledged minions.
So far as could be learned he had forsaken
his lambs to drown his sorrows. And it is
said by them that he intends Withdrawing
from politics gracefully before being cast in
to oblivion with contempt.
Contrary to the custom of former years
very few tickets were scratched or made up
at the polls. Nearly the total number cast
were prepared at home, which went to show
that more than ordinary interest was mani
tested in having the best men elected
At night the city downtown was animated
and crowded with people notwithstanding
the chilling wind and disagreeable fog.
Around the bulletin boards dense crowds
gathered, blocking the thoroughfares COM
pietely, and cheering when the majorities
for the Republican ticket were repeatedly
annnuncpd

THIRTY-sIXrH DISTRICT.
Two Democratic ChaIlengers Arreste
for Disiurhing The Paaca.

Two Democratic ChaIiengers Arrested
for Disturbing the Peace.
There was less trouble in the precincts of
the Thirty-sixth District south of Market
than at any other polling places in that sec
tion of the city. The only open disturbance
was at the polling-place of the Tenth Pre-
cinct, 223 Fifth street, where Charles Hur-
ley, drunken challenger employed by the
Buckley wing of the County Democracy.
attempted to knock out several officers on
the board, and was arrested for drunken
ness and disturbing the peace.
AT many precincts in the southerly portion
of the city it was stated that Gar Chris
piers henchmen had given up all hope in
the State struggle and had concentrated
their forces in the interests Of Kreling for
Assessor and Tim /. O'Brien for Sheriff.
Many offers to trade Pond votes for Kreling
and UBrien were made by faithful follow
ers OF the fold. but whether any votes for
the pet "lambs" were gained by this process
could not be ascertained.
During the afternoon Frank la Rue, a
Democratic challenger stationed at the Sec
ond Precinct, was arrested by Officer Cough
lin and locked up at the new City Hall sta
tion FOR disturbing the peace and drunken
ness.

By sunrise rows of men we're ready at
several of the precincts of this district to
cast their ballots. At an early hour also
O'Donnell passed through The district, bow
ing obsequiously to all he met. Once or
twice faint cheer greeted him. Although
: his success was generally considered impos-
sible, bets were made that he would poll
1900 votes.
AT the Nineteenth Precinct, the guards of
the House of Correction and Industrial
School were present to exert their influence
against Siebe. Little doubt was felt how
ever, that the district would go in his favor
At about 10 o'clock the rumor reached the
Seventeenth-street Police Station that a
shooting affray had taken place at Precinct
49, The report was that Louis RaZean,
an Italian gardener, residing near the In
dustrial School. had received serious
wound over the heart, but the story proved
to be unfounded.
The inmates Of the Almshouse were taken
in vehicles to Precinct II to vote. A num-
Der of rough characters gathered about
them trying to influence their votes, which
lead to slight disturbances and several chal-
lengrs. In every case, however, the chal-
lepge was withdrawn.
Arthur McCooey was arrested for selling
spirituous liquors, but after having been
booked at the Seventeenth-street Police
Station, was released on $50 bail

An Attempt Mnde to Upset the Ballot

An Attempt Made to Upset the Ballot
Voting in the Thirtieth Assembly District
commenced at the official hour except in the
First Precinct, where, owing to the uncer-
tanty as to whether the ballot-boX had been
left overnight in coal-yard or a bar-room
for safety, ballots could not be deposited in
the box until nearly 8 o'clock, when new
receptacle had been obtained.
As is usual in the South Of Market street
District, there was much interest in the
election, and though the crowds around the
polling places were small they were gener-
ally quite enthusiastic. The police made a
number of arrests for illegal voting, disturb
ing tho peace and drunkenness.
In the afternoon au attempt was made in
the polling-piace of the Fifth Precinct by a
person sitting in the room to upset the bal
lot-box and destroy the ballots. Inspector
Smallman prevented him from succeeding
and refrained from giving his name. The
trouble was said to have been caused by a
dispute over Smallman's right to act as in
spector.
In the Ninth Precinct man named
Christian Won Meyerhof was arrested by a
Deputy Marshal for trying to vote another
mans name. Meyerhof was taken be-
fore United States Commissioner Sawyer,

the city. The enthusiasm of the Republi-
cans was marked, and their industry was
such that they did not rest n moment from
sunrise to shutdown. Electioneerng Of this
character necessarily had its effect, and the
result was such as was to be expected.
During the day many rumors of war were
telephoned in from the outlying districts,
but few serious ructions occurred. The off,
GERS appointed to prevent illegal voting had
less than usual TO do. only eight arrests on
that account being reported to the Reputli-
can headquarters up to the time of the clos
ing of the polls.
t The new system of tallying was reported
satisfactorily in most of the precincts, but
in some places disagreementS occurred
among the judges and clerks. and capable
agents were sent to impart explicit inStruc-
tions in regard to Mr.. Story's scientific
plan. -
Chairman Meyers was in receipt of snap
tally returns from many of the precincts.

A large detail of policemen was held In

voters were being driven away and not
