strong and was conducted under the tiirec.
ton OF two deputies from the Assessors

Tho Thirty seventh District.

The first polling place Of the Thirty-sev-
enth District was at the southwest corner of
Fell ana Laguna streets. There were nu-
nerous wrangles between the leaders of
the two factions as TO the rights of certain
alleged Republican residents to vote. The
police were frequently called upon to quell
the incipient quarrels, yet on the whole
good order prevailed. On account of the
many disputes between the party workers
at the window many who desired to vote
were left waiting when the ballot box
closed
A gentleman who watched the polls at
Fell and LaguDa street from the opening to
the closing thereof In conversation with n
representative of THE CALL last evening
said: Il cannot understand how it is that
people can tolerate such actions as were
noticeable at these polls. Crimmins and
Kelly's gang took possession of the place,
and they were helped along in their work of
bulldOZing by County Clerk Blattner and
some OF his deputies. There were little
over 300 votes polled, but not one half of the
ballots were cast by residents Of the dis
trct. Why, | saw a number OF repeaters
pulled ont of the line by policemen and driven
away. Within half an hour / counted seven
men who were challenged on the ground
that they were not residents of the district,
but, upon being identified by Blattner, they
were allowed to vote, they giving their place
OF residence as Cough street. One man
that have known as Democrat for years
went up to vote, and protested. Some one
inside said he was all right, but 1 insisted
that he should be sworn. lie was ready to
cast Crimmins and Kelly ballot. but his
conscience would not allow him to take an
oath that he would vote the Republican
ticket. An hour before the polls closed
those who had charge of them refused to
allow more than 60 residents of the district
to vote. because they would not have voted
the Crmmins and Kelly ticket. In the
afternoon County Clerk Blattner became
very tired, so very tired that he had TO
stretch himself on a lounge to sleep, to
sn0re, and there are some who are so un-
charitable as to say that he was under the
influence of liquor"

sion was going on. and when he returned he
saw Edgerton hum a beer glass at Kelly.
Brady then took a hand in the ARRAY and
according TO his statement tried 10 separate
the men. He says that Edgerton left the
saloon and that Kelly followed him ont and
asked him to give him a square
deal II he wanted to fight" With this re-
mark Edgert0n sailed into Kelly. and Brady
aud Wall attempted to separate them.
Some friends of Edgerton's came along and
the fight became general. Brady unfortu-
rateiy found himself pitted against the ex-
trusty. but before he could do anything in
the way of fighting Edgerton swung around
and plunged jackknife into his side
twice.
Brady was Immediately taken 10 the Re-
ceiving Hospital In a buggy, where his
wounds were attended to by Assistant
Police Surgeon Berry. Brady was slightly
intoxicated. and. although he bled good

and go out and buy some cigarettes.

The morning call., 1892-04-24

Billy Harrington was lost sight of early in
the Tray. In pollng-pla he was given a
decentiy fair chance, but in the other lie
was given the rawest kind Of n deal. In
the former place lie had the services OF Dave
Magic, who stood at the window and
quietly smoked his brier-woOd pipe, while
his hands were thrust in his breeehes'
pockets. Whatever was the cause, no dis
turbance occurred, and the voters filed up
without word.
Over at Robbins mills, however, there
was different story to tell, and here the
most bOld-fsced practices were carried on.
Martin Dow, who had been chosen to act as
an Inspector, was crowded out. and "Crutch"
Hawkins, a notorious Kelly heller, was put
in his place. Hawkins Immediately named
his brother 10 act as Judge. ana between the
two Harrington was like the label on the
bot:le-he was not in IL. During the night
the mill had been packed with Kelly men.
and when the polls were opened they took
possession at once. Registers were entirely
discarded. and repeaters were given a chance
to get in. They did so without hesitation.
and CALL reporter counted six votes cast
by one man. Whenever the Harrington
men attempted TO vote they were hustled
away, and were not allowed to cast ballot
