McDermott's majority. $50
Democrats VINO have watched the vot-
ing in the Second, Third and Fourth dis
tricts claim a majority of 1.200 for McDer-
mott.
A SPARK OF HUMoR.
The funniest event of the campaign oc-
Cured last night when J. I. Altemus
conducted an independent mass meeting
for E. Tuns Mclaughlin, at No. GA Rail
| road avenue. The room was packed with
a crowd of young toughs who were bent
| on amusing themselves at McLaughlin's
| expense.
The lights were put out and chairs and
| tables wrecked in short order. McLaugh-
lin endeavored to restore quietness. but
his attempts were useless. Windows
were wrecked and an attempt made to
fire the place. Mclaughlin escaped with
his life by jumping on a horse car and
urging the driver to get him away from
the jeering crowd that was close upon his
heels.
Today he is spending money lavishly
and Offering voters at the polling places
to strike him. His generous offer will un-
doubtedly be accepted after dark. Nc
Laughlin feels positive that he will be
elected. ]. f. Altemns, his hacker, is of
the same opinion. He is given 100 votes
by the leaders of the contesting parties.
The latest report from the Sixth dis
trict, Wanser's stronghold, are to the
effect that McDermott is carrying every
thing. The voting is brisk and the out
look is that Wanser will not get more
than 500 majority.
THE GLENN OUTRAGE.
Perhaps the most atrocious Of Graham's
outrages was one perpetrated yesterday
afternoon. A few days ago John eileen,
cashier in Taylor's Hotel, was asked for
list OF those entitled to register from
Taylor's Hotel. He complied with the
request. Graham and his brother Peter
are working for as many hundred dollars
as possible out .of the reward offered by
the Union League Club for information
leading to the apprehension and con-
viction of repeaters.
On the list of voters registered from
Taylor's Hotel they detected the names
of George w. Cassidy and George W.
Boutwell,. Mr.. Cassidy is well-known
master IN chancery in the First National
Bank building, and for years has dined
and lived off and on at Taylor's Hotel.
Some time ago he moved to Brooklyn,
aud as he anticipated returning in
short while, he paid for his rooms during
his absence in order to retain them. Sub
sequently he sent his family to Elizabeth,
but he has regularly dined and spent
much of his time around Taylor's Hotel,
often sleeping there. Glenn thought Mr..
Cassidy was still resident of the First
district of this city. Mr.. George w. Both
well is in charge Of the dining
car department of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company and runs the Key
stone restaurant at the Pennsylvania de-
pot. He goes backward and forward be-
tween this city and Washington, and has
put up at Taylor's Hotel regularly for
several years.
The Graham brothers accused Cashier
Glenn of wilfully causing the false regis
tration of these two gentlemen and had
him arrested on two separate charges,
and Republican Justice Lockwood held
charge.
A SIMPLE MISTAKE.
Mr.. Cassidy said to NEWS reporter
this morning:-"The mistake was a most
natural one for Mr.. Glenn to make. See
ing me around the hotel for so many
years he naturally thought still claimed
voting residence. I am perfectly
willing to go before the Grand Jury
in behalf of his exoneration. No one who
knows Mr.. Glenn would for a moment
believe him guilty of assisting in falsity-
ing the registry.
The Republican heelers set up howl
that Mr.. Glenn himself was registered in
two separate precincts. A short
while ago he moved his
family from the hotel and the canvassers
took his name down from his new resi-
dence. Mr.. Glenn was not aware of the
fact that he was registered in two pre-
cincts. OF course he only attempted to
vote in the one whers he really lives.
WHAT THEY SAY.
The Republicans are making hard
fight of it,. SAID Justice Davis this morn
ing, "but we are going to win. Allan l..
McDermott is our next Mayor. l have
visited many of the polling precincts
throughout the city, and l find every
thing very encouraging. A large vote is
being polled, but the majority of the bal
lots are headed by the name Of Allan l..
McDermott."
1.-The Third District is going to turn out
a fine majority for Mr.. McDermott," said
Commissioner E. A. Dugan this after
noon. II have spent the day about the
polling precincts, and of my own personal
knowledge / know that good many
Republicans have voted for Mr.. McDer
mott. McDermott pastors are heading the
regular Republican ticket. If we could
have had another week of active CAM
paign work I would make bets that Mr..
McDermott would carry the city by
4,O0O."
"This election is ours" said City Col
lector P, II. O'Neill this afternoon. II
have been over the First District thor
oughly, and can't see less than seven
hundred majority for Mr.. Dermott
A heavy vote is being polled
and Wanser is being scratched
