PITTsBURG, Nov. S.--'rhe bitter feeling
growing out of the factional fights here
resulted in number OF rows at various
polling places. In the Second precinct Of
tho Bloody" Fifth ward, a suggestive
name obtained many years ago. dispute
arose over the refusal OF Peter Megraw, a
Republican member of the election board,
to receive vote on tax receipt of 1891.
Democratic County Chairman Brennan
was called, and he insisted that the receipt
was good until next May. This enraged
Megraw, who drew knife on Brennan,
but before he could use II he was over
powered. Judge Stowe decided that the
man had n right to vote on the receipt. In
the Second district of the First ward tho
Republicans claimed that the Democrats
refused to allow men suspected of oppos-
ing their candidate for sheriff to vote. A
dispute arose, and Councilman McHugh
struck Policeman Pat Farrell an x-pugi-
list, on the nose, drawing blood. Farrell
then knocked MoHugh down, and a gen
eral row seemed imminent, when Police
Magistrate Donohue appeared and closed
the polls A force of officers were then de-
tailed TO guard the polls, and three hours
later they were opened again.

all over the state, and there was a full
vote of over SOC, 900, and Mckinley has a
majority over all, with Democratic, Pro
hibition and Populist tickets opposed to
him.
This is the first time majority over all
any state candidate has had since Fosters
election, Just after Garfeld's death, in
lssf: Blaine had majority in 1884, but
the Republican state ticket then had only
D. plurality. Last year the Democrats
elected one presidential electOr, and the
Republican plurality was then 1,0T2. Nc
Kinley's plurality In 1891 was 2l,5li. In
1850 the Republicans had 10000 plurality,
and in 1889 the Democrats elected Cover
nor Campbell by lo,8To, when there was a
small vote.
The Republicans are apprehensive OF
emo part of their victory. The legislature
elected yesterday does not select United
States senator, and it Is over two-thirds Re
publican, tire strongest since tho war.
With such large working majority they
fear such legislation by city members as
may lead to defeat two years hence, when
: another legislature is to be selected that
will choose Senator Brice's successor.

that the Democrats have carried at least
20 out of 25 senatorial districts and have

of the state Democratic committee, places
the Democratic majority at not less than
s5,OOO. The secretary Of tho Peoples party
practically admits that O'Ferrall is
elected but says he concods nothing else.

received at the executive chamber by a

Senator Hill, Governor Flower, Attorney
General Rosendale, State Engineer and

apparent that the state was going Repub-

few special kilograms have been received
from the interior of the state. which they
consider as bad sign. At 10 o'clock all
hope of saving the state ticket was given
