THE AMERICAN PRIVILEGE.
1t viii be Generally Exercised at the
Polls To-Day.
Croakers Who Are Always Predicting
Trouble-The Record Union's''
Returns Tonight.

To-day the peaceful battle of the ballots
will be fought at the polls, after a long
and wearying campaign, if not a specially
exciting one. The polls will open at 6:3S
o'clock this morning, and close at P. N.
The weather promises to remain pleasant,
hence very full vote may be looked for.
As usual a few nervous persons have
worked themselves into an untimely
frenzy over an alleged prospect of
trouble" Of some vague sort, but as
usual they will doubtless be disappointed.
Sheriff Stanley has, however, appointed
large number of special deputies to pre-
serve order at the polls but there is no
likelihood that the police and United
States Deputy Marshals and Supervisors
will not be able to handle the crowd"
United States Marshal Long has ap-
pointed the following sixty-eight Deputy
Marshals for duty here to-day:

THE GREAT REGISTER.
So short was the time allowed for copy
ing and placing the Great Register in thc
hands Of the printer that several mistakes
were made the most important being the
omission of one sheet OF names. The
mistake was discovered in time and the
error rectifed.
Here and there single omissions have
occurred, and n few names have been
misspelled. A man named Larue yester-
day discovered that the ''r'' had been
''Laue." AS the name appears i'll its
proper place, however, among other La
rues, it shows plainly that the omission
was typographical error.
FOLDING BALLOTS.
Various persons have undertaken to
advise voters how to fold their ballots
There is no specified manner in which
ballots must be folded, except that it
must be so that the number OF the ballot
shall 1nnpar n the side tInr1pf txjt h
out displaying the marks on the face
thereof"
CLOSING OF SALOONS.
1t is generally conceded that any per-
son OF ordinary intelligence Will have no
difficulty in properly marking his ballot
provided he keeps sober; hence that wise
provision of law which requires that sa-
looms shall not keep open nor dispense
liquor on the day of election.
Chief of Police Rodgers has very prop
erly announced his intention of enforcing
the law in this respect, and if he succeeds
in doing so there Will be no doubt of the
election being peaceable one. 1t is, how
ever, worthy of remark in this counec-
ton, that all the talk of prospective
trouble at the polls" comes from Il class
of citizens who would feel very much in
jured if told that they were adopting
other than peaceful methods.
ANNOUNCING THE RETURNS.
The RECoRD-UNIoN has made provi-
sion for announcing the returns-both
National, State and iocal-as fast as re-
ceived. A large transparency has been
erected in front of the office, and thou
sands Of people will be able to see from
Third street the figures as they are thrown
upon the canvas.
To-morrow's paper will also contain
the returns received up to the latest pos
sible moment of going to press, and to
this end the officers of the local Election
Boards are requested to afford our can
vassers all reasonable aid in procuring
the figures.
The task of getting in the returns will
not be an easy one, because of the large
number of districts to be covered within
a short time, but the RECoRD-U UNION has
endeavored to provide for all possible
contingencies, and hopes to be able to
give the city vote complete tomorrow,
by Supervisor districts, as well as that OF
many of the more important country pre-
clnctS.
