IT Will Be ALLEN.
All Signs Point to the Sue
cess of the Whole Demo-
cratic Ticket Pagan
in HOboken.

Voting today is very light by botn
parties, but more especially SO in the
Republican ranks. There seems to be
general feeling that Charles w. Allen
will be elected. no matter how strong q
vote is polled. and that has caused many
republicans to so to their business IN
New York before casting their ballot.
Some of these will vote during the after
noon, but it is con sidered certain that the
gres ter number will not.
There has been very bad management
by the Republicans throughout this en-
tire campaign, aud today 1t WAS particu-
larly manifest. AT Scarcely any polling
place could Republican worker be
found. The Democrats were more care
full, and had plenty OF men at work as
near the polAng places as the law per-
mitted. These men made many votes Tor
the Democratic candidates.
During the day there were many COM
plants that polling precincts had not
been furnished with sufficient supply OF
tickets. Reuben Simpson called on City
Clerk Scotr, and asked why this shouid
be the case. He told the City Clerk that,
of his own knowledge. he knew that the
Fifteenth and Sixteenth precincts or tne
Sixth Aldermanic district had not re-
ceived the supply OF Republican tlcksas s
AT>
tickets had been sent TO the polling
places, aud that was greet many more
than was needed. Mr.. Simpson replied
that only 500 had been received, ana IL
was agreed that the other 500 must have
been destroyed by some one.
IRREGULAR BALLOTS.
Mr. Simpson showed the Clry CLERK sew
eral irregular Repu b,ican Dailots .nat , naa
been discovered and sent to him from
different parts of the city. One OF these
was straight Republican ticket which
did not have the official endorsement on
the back and therefore when voted could
not ee counted. Other ballots had but
portion of the names of the Republican
candidates on. 1t is feared by Republican
leaders that many OF these illegal Dailo.s
were innocently voted by men VINO de-
sired to support the Republican ticket.
Democrats had better generals In the
campaign and the result was apparent TO.
day. There were no illegal ballots and
each booth was supplied with an aoun-
dance of legal tickets. City Clerk scott
sent 1000 extra ballots to No. 742 Grand
street and the same nun per TO g. jaime
Hotel, Marion, during the morning.
All day City Marshall Long and his as
sistant. James Clarke, have been busy re-
pairing ballot boxes In the different poll
ing places In the city. Two coaches have
been In constant use and the horses
earned their oats. Fifteen places where
ballot boxes were put into order were Wis
tied before noon by Long aud Clarke.
A DEMOCRATIC SWEEP.
A well posted democrat told me this
morning that his party would nave .
sweeping victory today. He professed to
believe that Charles w. Allen would re.
ceive not less than {, 900 majority, and that
Freeholder Hennessey would beat Alder
man Norton out ofsight He even Thought
it doubtful thst Alderman uusenoery
would be reelected in the Sixth district.
T6e Fourth Aldermanic district, my In
formant considered doubtful As to the
Freeholder who runs In the Eighth Ae-
seinbly portion of the district, he said he
feared Leuahan would be cut badly by
democrats and that Doscher's chances
were good.
Tonight the returns of the election will
he received at the different political
clubs and at Police Headquarters. There
is at present no indication that there will
besany excitement at any OF the clubs.
Mr.. Simpson is expected to be at the
Union League Club, and Mr.. Allen will
probably learn of his victory at the New
Jersey Club.
IN GREENvILLE.
A very light vote was pOlled In the
varions preciucts Of the Sixth Alder
manic district this morning The Demo
Gratis, however, ave hustljng, and it Is
very doubtful ii Redben Simpson will re-
ceive more than !. 600 majority In the dis
trict. In the Fifteenth precinct, where
Mr.. Simpson resides. the vote is exceed
1ngly light and scores of Republican bal
lots, with Allen pastors. are being
pasted Conservative voters OF both
parties doubt if Simpson Will
carry the precinct. Mr.. John A. Erick-
SON, the Democratic candidate for Alder
man. is making an excellent fight. 1t is
quite certain that he will carry Lafay-
ette, the Republican stronghold Dusen-
berry, the opposition candidat~ is very
weak in Greenvilie, and tp democrats
of the district claim Erickson,s cleo tfon-
TIP to noon there was no trouble OF any
kind at any of the precincts.
IN HOBoKEN.
The election in Hoboken Is being con-
Quoted IN quiet and orderly manner. In
the Fourth Ward Tapgeman is running
away ahead of expectations, and trades
union men are voting aud working for
Tangeman. In the other wards the vote is
for Pagan as far as can be judged, and at
nocn knowing ones predicted his election
by at least 900 majority.
In the Third Ward Landrigau is giving
Offerman stout fight, but 1t is not
thought ne will beat the young demo
crat.
