INCIDENTS OF THE DAY.

MANY Complaints About the Slouness In
Opening Polis-Review of Occurrences
Yesterday in Indianapolis was an ideal
day to get ont o full vote. The morning
dawned crisp and cool and the sun came
out bright and early and remained out un-
ill late in the afternoon. Early In the
morning those whose duty compelled them
20 be on the outside of voting-places
found the weather rather uncomfortable.
The forenoon vote was unusually heavy,
but it was not owing to any expeditions
action on the part of the Democrats On
the North Side. where the Republicans are
in the majority, they did all in their power
20 retar0 the voting.
The law requires the polls to be opened at
o'clock, and. while this was strictly OBJ
served south of Washington street. on the
North Side many voting places were not
opened until Z o'clock, and in some cases
not until nearly Q. At many North-side
precincts, as early as o'clock. from twenty
TO thirty men were In line ready to vote,
but the election booths remained closed. and
they had to stand aud SILVER in the cold,
and in some cases, 60 away without voting.
On the South Side q large morning vote
WAS Also pOlltu anu III bOmc pftclDCtb u8lI
the vote had been pclled by 10 o'clock. Indi-
cations pointed to Republican gains in this
city early in the afternoon. If any dis
turbancss of o material nature at the polls
were anticipated. they were not realized.
The United States marshals in many cases
were not recognized and they simply
performed their mission Of being peace
officers. There was no interference and no
trouble. But few arrests we're made. The
Democrats. as usual made an attempt to
vote the paupers at the County Asylum,
but they were frustrated by the prompt
arrest of two men.
Republican and Democratic workers
were hustling all day. and hundreds of
vehicles were brought into use TO accom-
modate voters In at least q dozen pre-
cincts the polls were not opened on time.
and the complaints OF men who wanted 70
vote early were very bitter against the
slection officers. Taking verything into
consideration IL was a peculiarly quiet elec-
HON fiay.

Marshals and Sheriffs Made Comparative


Marshals and sheriffs Made Comparatively
Few Arrests.
The small army of election sheriffs and
United States marshals who were sworn in
for duty ct the various voting polls yester-
day had but empty honor and au-
thority. Two days ago Democratic papers
were filed with omincns predictions of IL
oting and bloodshed to be caused by the
appointment of these United States mar.
shals. Witness the result. Marion county
poiled larger vote than ever before. and
there was never in her history
quieter election or one IN which
there was less contention between the
two parties. And there were comparative
ly few challenges. Chief Inspector of Elec-

Henry Martin was arrested for swearing In
the voters. Commissioners Van Buren, heard
