ELECTION DAY
c..t.nued from Fifth Page.


One of the men who has charge of the
hngeies in the Third ward was telling how
he got their votes yesterday. He said
there was no sense in failing in this
woman suffrage craze. He explained by |
saying thet when he registered women he
took down their names and the number
Of their houses and told them to stay at |
home until he should come for them cleo
tion day. Nearly always they did this L
hand them folded tickets and tell them to |
vote. lam q Carey man. or course some
of the women / came across were Lau-
renee, Clement and Furley men. They |
asked me, "Is this ticket for Fur
eys" and would say, "Oh, yes,
that's for Carey; you vote it," and
strange to say, not one woman IN
ten would look into her ticket to see II L
had told her the truth. And when they
did was not wanting. One young woman
who I Just told that her ticket was for
Eurley opened it up. But" she says,
s'Furley's name is scratched over with
lead-pencil, he's the man [ want to vote
for "Of course" replied, cant you
Zee that that is to point out to the judges
who YOU want to vote for How do you
suppose they could tell?'' And that woman
folded the vote up and put it In the box,
and counted another vote for John b.
Carey"
WILSON VS.. CITY MARSHAL.
Yesterday afternoon a woman started to
vote at the first precinct of the Second
ward and Wilson, the city attorney want
I'd to challenge her vote and start
I'd into the ballot room. The CITY
marshal who was standing near ordered
Wilson out Wilson retorted quickly, to
which the marshal took exception and
told him to get out or he would place him
under arrest. Here followed a short
wrangle, which ended by the city marshal
grabbing Wilson by his vest front and
forcibly ejecting him from the place.
ANOTHER ARREST
Yesterday morning, on the corner OF
Main and Douglas, one Ebenhack was
talking in rather high key to which
policemen near took umbrage He told
Ebephack to keep quiet. Ebenhack had
lust been saying that Montgomery was
good man to vote for because he
was a poor man and needed the job. When
the policeman interrupted him, he yelled
at the policeman that he would bet him a
licking that Montgomery was elected.
The officer told him to keep still or he
would arrest him Ebenhack told him to
try it on The policeman put him under
arrest and took him to the calaboose.
Some Indignation was expressed by the
crowd that a man should be snatched up
on so slight provocation.
CIGARS AND BEER.
Yesterday morning certain city officer
appeared in North Side tailor shop and
asked one member of the firm how the
tailors were going to vote. The member
of the firm told him that one candidate
had just sent them a keg of beer. We'll
think it is burning shame that that
candidate sends beer around town that
way" Yes" said the member of the
firm, 'that may be true, but there is no
use talking, the boys like their beer. !"
Then the city official looked at the floor
real hard and finally asked: eff a case of
beer comes over here will it be all rightF'
The case, in the course of an hour or two.
came. The question now is: How did
those tailors voter"
Up in the first precinct of the Second
ward there were colored workers of all po-
litical compilations. There was only one
time when they were harmonious on one
thing, and that was the cigars. One old
colored man wore a Farmers Alliance
badge What are you wearing a Farm
ers' Alliance badge for, uncle2''
some one asked. "'Cause L am a
laborah, if my skin is black, v
he made reply, land de interests OBJ de
laborah are"-just at this point Carey
buggy rolled up with box of cigars open
to the crowd The old man stopped short,
plunged into the box and came out with
three cigars. He never finished his ora

EFFECT OF THE ANTI-BRIBERY. BILL.
That the new anti-bribery bill had its
effect yesterday there is no doubt. There
WAS, of course, plenty of cigars and similar
compliments of municipal election, but
there was no lavish display of coin, and il
any cash changed hands for votes it was
carried on in an extremely careful and
quiet way. y great many of the CONNER
cial buns" waited around the polls until
o'clock last evening, but there was nc
money offered for the votes; not even q
dollar. Nobody was willing to lay them
selves open TO the liability of being the
object of prosecution in test case. There
was little direct cash spent. A great
number of the names registered that die
not vote, are charged up TO the fear of tbs
new law.
