COMING WITHIN THE LIMITS.
In the With Assembly District one Of the most
prominent features was the great demand for Con
pastors, Indicating the probability OF decisive vote
on the DistrctAttorncy ship. In many Of the cleo
ton districts Of this Assembly District there were con-
slant and open efforts tho part OF Tsmmany heel
crs to eleetioncer within the limit and even In the
polling places themselves. The most conspicuous
example OF such work was at No. 100 Varick-st
where Dominck F. Mullaney, the Tammany candidate
for Assombyman from the vth District came to great
ana sudden grief. MuIlaney has been . kind Of
lord in the Tammany element Of that district and no

Professor Gotthsn was there as . watcher for the

police and inspectors to MuIaneys conduct but they
refused to interfere Professor Gottheil then told
Mullancy that he acting in violation Of tho Jaw.
"well what are you going TO do about t'" retorted
the candidate for Assembly.
The Professor went to Jnstice Kilbreth at the JEFF

for Mullaney's arrest When the warrant was served
Mnllzney attempted to assault Professor Gotthci but
WIS prevented and led away to the police court where
he was placed under $500 bond to appear before te
Cont Of General Sessions. From the time OF Nal

EAST SIDE INCIDENTS.
One of the most interesting districts In the city yes
erday for many reasons, was that between Canal ana
fourteenth SITS on the East Side Of town. IL is sato
n sar that no other election ever passed OIL so quietly
On IN. East Side Drunkenness was almost unknown
between Canal and Fourteenth SITS. from O'CLOCK In
tho morning until 4 O'Clock in the afternoon
The law however requiring men TO refrain from
.etioresrIng within $50 feet of the polls was dis
regarded BY the ambassadors from the Fourteentist
temple, as often as possible Men were batonl"ied
At ever corner Arrangements were made Win store
keepers near the pollng-place and men were taken
nto their places to receive their pastors and nstic-
tons before entering the room to cast their Vo'es
SHAMEFUL ABUSE.
The paragraph Of the law allowing men physically
disabled TO call upon friends u assist them In preparing
their BALLOTS was abused shanciuly. Inc inspectors
accepted the declarations Of the "dlsabied men, as
a r,,le without question and Tammany succeeded In
securine many votes in this way. They were, how
ever not always successful
"Here rs a raimed man, said Tammany heller
