MANHATTAN CLUE ELECTION.
AN EXCITING CANVASS IN THE FIGHT FOR
SUPREMACY

AN EXCITING CANVASS IN THE FIGHT FOR
SUPREMACY!
The annual election for managers OF the Manhattan
Club last night the most spirited in the history OF
the club The polls closed at IL o'clock, and at that
hour it thought that the counting OF the votes
would not be finished before 3 a. m.
The scenes at the clubhouse during the evening
were exceedingly animated and from the exterior the
old Stewart mansion had the appearance Of being
Illuminated for reve long line Of carriages filed
Thirty fourth-st both sides, and other conveyances
kept moving along the Ffthave. front. But II
was inside that tho animation was greatest. The I'm
mense parlors were crowded with men in evening
dress who were actively canvassing for their re
spectivo candidates. Many came in carriages. re
NAMED only long enough to vote, and dvOve
away again. Early in the evening long lire
Of voters extended from the polngroom on the
second floor ont through the corridors and down ono
side OF the marble staircase. An hour before the
polls closed the line still there seemingly as long
as it had been hour previously.
The election practically involves the future political
policy of the club and the agitation concerning it
brought out an vote. At IL o'clock 1t was
said that more than 900 votes had been cast, twice
az many as were at the animal election of man
ayers a year ago. IT was impossible at that hour
even 10 guess at the result owing 10 the vast amount
Of scratching that had been done, but the socalcd ad
vocates Of Tammanys supremacy in the club eX-
messed confidence that their ticket had been vic
torious What called the regular or conservative
ticket representing the element which advocated the
elimination Of local political influences IN the conduct
Of the organization as follows:
For manager for one ycar-Sylvcser j. O'Sullivan
ma9gcr for two year, II. Livingston; manager,
for three years-JOhn Hone IT,, David Il. Gilbert,
W c. Whitney. George g. Haven and Walter stanton.
The "Tammany ticket substituted the names Of Perry
Belmont Il. Duncan Harris, j. Coleman DTayOn ana
Charles b. Peet for those Of David i. Gilbert. John
Hone IT., L. II. Livingston and sylvester j. Oonll-
van Perry Belmont led the opposition faction, beng
sunported by many the politicians who are now
prominent in the administration Of Tammanys Affairs
The election will decide whether Iammany VIII be able
10 control the club, as members declare 1t IS
trying TO do and whether the Tammany Democracy
is +, be regarded the regular Democracy in other
than municipal affairs The counter effort Is to make
the Manhattan Club to the Democratic party what the
Union League Is 10 the Republican, -
Al midnight the ellcrs, lOwland Robbins, CharIcs
w nayton and Frank Ellis, we're busiIy engaged In
their wor1 81 counting, and there was said to be no
prospect OF asceItaining the result even approAi
matey for several hours
