MILWAUKEE,, November 4.-When the
polls closed Gt 5 o'clock this evening the
most unique and exciting political struggle
| in the history OF the city came to an end.
The feature OF tho day was the activity Of
| the Catholic and Lutheran clergy in mar
shalhng their forces against the Bennett
law. At the polling booth at the cor
ner Of Greenbush aud Mitchell streets
on the south side, almost in the shadow
of st. Stanislaus's Catholic church,
| two Polish priests busted themselves
| in seeing that each of their countrymen
voted as early as possible, and examined
| their ballots to make sure that they were
| cast against the little school-hOuse.'
| Father GrueZa hustled around IN the
crowd carrying little silyer-headed cane,
| which ne swung IN an animated manner.
| From this place he posted OIL 20 the
| Fourth precinct Of the Twelfth Ward on
Grove street. Ills church Is outside the
| city in the town OF Lake, and he
stated triumphantly to all friends
| that when he left his precinct there had
been only one or two Republican votes
AGAINST 100 Democrats. Some curiosity was
manifested in the Second precinct OF the
| Sixth Ward. whore the Capuchin monks
had registered. About 10 o'clock they up
peared. twenty-three strong, headed by the
| Father Guardian. Tho crowd gathered on
the corner while they drew up on the side
| walk and went into the booth one by one
| Each one was allowed 10 east his ballot
| without mOlestatiOn from Republican chhl
lengers, asst had been ascertaiued that they
had all been naturaliZed.Q Quietly as they hat
1
twenty-three more Democratic ballots II
the box. Most of the Lutheran churches
held meetings last night, at which Demo
cratic tickets were distributed. At TIM
booths the Lutherans would not have any
thing 30 DO with peddlers. Some Of then
would take anything put in their hand
and shove into their pockets. where 1t wa
presumably left The character OF the yot
cast is consequently a mystery. Tho Dem
ocrats. of course. claimed that every Lu
thernn who appeared with his tcko
in his pocket put in a straight Demo
cratic vote. But the other side claime
lust as confidently that the reason why On
fntheraus acted go mystcriOusly was tina
thew wanted 70 fix their tickets 70 SUI
themselves without letting anybody kno'
it. At nearly every polling place some Lu
theran. generally o school-tcacher, we
stationed 10 see that his people did no
allow themselves TO be persuaded TO aceeI
tickets from Republican peadiers.
The Prohibition and Labor votes gem
rally went TO the Republicans. At mo
polls there was no Labor-ticket pee
, dler az all. In some precincts L
: straight Labor ticket could be ha
even nc the booths A number
Republican peddlers had Union LabC
tickets with the names of Hoard, Spencer
and the respective Republican candidate
for the Assembly. Split tickets of ever
! imaginable kind could be found in mo
pracincts. The favorite was a Democrat
ticket with the Republican congression
and county candidates pasted over II, an
these seemed TO be in considerable demau
among the Lutherans. Pastors Of all u
, different candidates were distributed
untold quantities.
