close observer re-
suited in no discoveries more striking
than the extra ordinary serious. deter
mined mood the average voter seemed
to be in. Men who never dream of talk
ing breakfast before q o'clock in the
morning were everywhere at the polls
long before they were legally open for
voters. They stood in the chilly air
reading their papers. calmly waiting
till the time came for business to begin.
In the big districts. on the west side,
there were long lines of men .,n" suood
for hours without being able to get
anywhere near the polls till two or
three hours after they had got place
in the single files on the sidewalk. At
one time in some of the brown
stone districts where the re-
publican strength is noted. many
of the voters became suspicious as to
the real cause of the slow movement
ahead of them and at the ballot boxes,
and feeling grew strong that the delay
WAS caused by the malicious inactivi-
ty" of their enemies. In some instan
ces there was some basis for this view
OF the situation and when it became
apparent to the inspectors and the
watchers that too much time was being
taken up by the slow coaches" there
was a cry Get Il move yon and things
became more ruStling.
There was actual diSfranchiScmcnt
in hundreds of cases in various parts of
the city. Unfortunate fellows. who
because of their illiteracy and who
were allowed no guide posts behind the
screens, were unable to make ballot
ends meet legally and had to give up
the job finally, were very many. But
they were not the only men who had
gone to the trouble" of being regis
tered and lost their vote. The cause OF
1t all was unquestionably the lack of
booths.
Two thousand one hundred and
siXty-two districts outside of New

O5o Morton II: sol Wheeler S,1sT.
Grant ran behind Hill and Strong
and ahead of Morton.
There was an ominouS silence as the
returns were read at Tammany hall.
'Tammany's beaten" was the cry that
went round the hall. The strains of
Boync'S band were insufficient to keep
people in humor.
Nicholas Bonoho made an address
