the only exception TO the general statement

men. councilmen and justices, and the hgh'
there was lively from start to finish. although
even there not large colored vote was
polled in comparison with other elections. Az
the First and Second precincts there, was the
usual amount OF pulling and hauling ana
the colored troops fought noDly ~,
day. The black cohorts surged ana
charged from early morn until neNf
eve. IL was here that jim Baheh
white fought most desperately. and his iog,,
the din shouting choice bits OF ny
Bird English. The spirit Of antago-
nlsm was very strong between mo
two colored Republican factions. but Captain
Hulce, OF the Third district, had Il squad Oh
ten policemen at each precinct. and the ne
cessity for arrests were obviatcd by nipping
IN the bud any incipient tendency toward =
row Time and again the police scattered
the crowd 10 prevent collision. and though
alterations frequently took place, nobody
was hurt.
THE TWO FACTIONS.
The two Republican factions opposed each
other by every means known in political war
fare and each side was ready and willing 10
sell the other out for a reasonable compensa-
tion. The chairman of the city Democratic
committee time and again received PROPOSE
tons by which the vote should be thrown ~
favor of the Democrats. | rode with him
around to the several precincts and IN reply
to every insinuation he gave them to under
stand that be would not countenanee eBy at
tempt at fraud.
