All tine other wards, except the Ninth,
had elected delegates previously. In
this ward there was such a disgraeeful
row, ia the Eastern district, that the
election viii be contested. Many Of the
respectable voters would not GO near the
polls, aud IN consequence, over SO votes
Of that district were lost. Several
kegs Of beer were situated near
she window and with these votes wsxe
purchased by thu wholesale John q
Canning, who was selected \ delegate
10 the last convention and whe was a
candidate on Saturday, called at the
EVENING JOURNAL office and said that
had he known that the slectisA would
be such disgrace hs would have posi-
lively refused to be a candidate. He
said that Republican boys and
anybody elae, who could be purchased
for beer, were voted, The judges and In
speetor became involved la quarrel at
6 Ia s'elock, when all the working-m
were coming up TO vots and in the melee
the ballot box was thrown int the
street and smashed to pieces.
Emile Be3k, another candidate of that
ward, whose admirers are said to have
done most of the purchasing, claims that
in the western district there was total
of 1877 votes. 1872 of which were for him,
13 for William James and for Canning
In the district where the box was broken
the votes were gathered up and counted,
and there was found to be a total
of 1O4 votes, 81 of which wers for
him. Mr.. Canning says that, although
he will make no attempt to contest the
elesbien, he knows that he was elected by
the Democratic voters TO represent them
There are only 200 voters la this district
of the ward so of these stayed at home,
and 80 arrived after the boz was broken
Beck had certificate of election made up
by his judges and will go to Dover as the
