The troubles of the Steckers in the Xth Assembly
District and With Senate District form exciting
chapter of adventure. When the SteclIlers seeded
from Tammany Hall and took with them faithful
band Of devoted adherents they linked their fortunes
with the Republican party in this election and have
worked, tooth aud nail, for John A. Dinke against
George F. Roesch in the fight for the district Senator

hatred that nothing bnt blood wash out Tammany

meanness however despicabe, no treachery- however
vile, to which 1t will not stOop in order 10 gain its

yesterday would occupy an inordnate amount of space.
Two of the most frequent may be taken fair
sample OF the remainder Jacob Weiss, tailor, who
lives at No. Avenue b, entered the polling booth at
No. 157 Second-st. shortly after o'clock for the
purpose OF recording his vote He says that he went
into the box nearest the door, According to his tale
yesterday, while he manipulating the ticket he
heard a cracking sound at his back. Turning rohnd
he saw two fingers holding Tammany paster thrust
through a hole which had been made in the door.
Xoce whispered, "You vote our ticket" The voice
was that OF ex-Alderman Henry Won Minden minor
light In Tammany. Weiss preferred to vote he
pleased and said When he had recorded his vote
and had got outside he surrounded by a crowd OF
Tammany heeers who cried: g You -, you'll be
dubbed so that your mother wouldn't know YER"
This pretty piece of manoeuvring carried on in
hundreds OF other without the least opposition
the part OF the police.
Tie electors who voted for Mr.. Roesch yesterday
will no doubt bo edited that that specimen OF
Tammany Hall polish and refinement occasion

One of the most outrage pieces Of bullying" and
tyrannca obstruction TO Republican votes the part
Of Tammany heelers and so-caed election captains
during the polling yesterday was the conduct of
Reilly who was looking for the interest Of the
Fourteenth st. boodlers. The trouble was in the

surpassed the Tammany rufians who got inside the
railing and hustled and jostled the about and tried
TO prevent their voting. Mr. Galgano protested
vigorously against this and struck several times
