THE THlRTY-FIRST.
Indications of Close Fight for Lead
ing Offices.

Voting passed off without hitch in the
Thirty first District. Everything was as
quiet as the grave and except for few
hangers-on around the various polling
booths no one could have told that an
election was going on. The policeman
stationed at each booth had nothing to do
but lean back in chair and yawn, think
ing what an easy time he was having.
There are sixteen precincts in this dis
trict, which owns up to Democratic ma
jOrity OF about 500 At each precinct the
talk was nothing but the tremendous ma
jOrity Jim Budd was going to have over
Estee. Enthusiastic Democrats predicted
that he would carry the city without any
difficulty. ''This is the banner Demo-
cratic district of the city," they said.
Were out for the straight people,"
Yet this remark did not appear to apply
to the candidates for munich al hOnOrs
straight through the ticket at least The
Democratic candidate for Mayor, for in
stance. Jefferson 6. James, did not ap-
pear TO be polling a vote. 1t was all
O'Donnell and Sutro, these two candidates
running very close for first honors, the ad-
vantage, if any, inclinlng 10 ODonnell
1t was noticed that Ebert received but
little encouragement in this district.
Another close fight was that between
Treacy and Wilkinson for Assem- bleman.
Both had hosts of friends. who were
equally confident Treacy had the ad-
vantage of the Democratic nomination,
but it was said that Wilkinson had got SO
many friends to work for him that he
would make close fight of II.
1t was also fight between Haley and
Curry for County Clerk. as. despite the
fact that Haley held the Democratic
nomination. this was Curry's district. and
the Repu blican nominee had been making
the most of his time. John t. Creamy had
a good majority over his opponents for
District Attorney. apparently, and no.
body talked of any one else bat Richard l..
Whelan for Sheriff.
AS to the polling, it began as soon as the
books were open, and a steady stream of
voters poured in from sunrise 10 sunset.
There was no crush, no disturbance. Two
or three challenges were noticed, that was
all. and these did not amount to anything.
The genus ''stuffer" was conspicuous by
its absence. No arrests were made, and
when the polls closed at o'clock it was
calcula tea that the average of shy voters
at each precinct did not exceed fifteen.

THE TWENTY-EIGHTR.
1t Seemed Quiet, but the Ubiquitous
Suffer Was Around.

1t was expected that there would be
lively times at the voting booths in the
various precincts of the Twenty-eightn
District. This is supposed to be Martin
Kellv's district. and even though Martin
is not in politics as a boss he is still the
ward-heeler which be was originally.
His minions were out in force. but they
did not attempt any violent work in order
to carry things the way Martin wanted
them to go. Martin did not disguise the
fact that he was supporting the Democratic
ticket.
His ci-devant partner. Phil Crimmins.
with certain following of friends, which,
by the way. was not large. was an open
champion of the Republican ticket. The
work of both of the ex-Oosses was on the
"peanut" principle, and showed that their
combined influence is Of very weak kind
and that they have very little influence
among the men who once trusted 10 their
promises of patronage.
Altogether the day was unusually quiet
for district which is. as rule, produc-

tive of so many political fights. Quite a
numb Der of police officers were on hand in
each precinct In anticipation of trouble,
but they were not called upon 10 exercise
their authority in many cases. As a mat
ter of course the saloons-and there are
several hundred in the district-had lock
upon the front doors, while the side and
rear entrances were open for business.
Up TO noon the voting was very slow. and
the majority OF those who cast their bal
lots were mechanics and workingmen who
were legally entitled 10 vote. In the
afternoon, though. Things began to liven
up bit, and the suffers, under the int1u-
ence of frequent potati0ns. got up courage
enough to approach the polls and attempt
the work which they had contracted with
the bosses to perform.
The Non-Partisan watchers were on the
scene early and had their lists Of suffers
prepared.
The Thirteenth Precinct of the district
was sample case. Following are the
names of reported suffers: Ii. A. jacob.

THE FORTY-THIRD.
Mahoney's BaIeful Influence Plainly
Manifest.

Mahoney's influence in the Forty-third
District was felt on all sides. although no
apparent good resulted to Burns Servile
hencnman. OF al! the precincts in the
district the First probably attracted the
major portion of the attention of citizens,
located as it was in such close proximity to
Mahoney's roost for stuffers-the Baldwin
Hotel The Senator's cohorts were on hand
bright and early, but the presence of the
Non-Partisans' committeeman armed with
warrants did good service 10 preventing
fraudulent voting.
The names from the Baldwin were sub
jected to particular scrutiny, as were also
those rejected from the Standard and other
lodging houses in the vicinity known to
contain hordes of raseals engaged to vote
for Mahoney. The result was that of the
names registered from the Bald win. which
amounted to twenty three, less than hve
put in an appearance. The effect of the
investigation now being carried on before
Judge Wallace was visible on all sides.
Precinct 4, on the northeast corner Uf
Geary and Stockton. was also closely
watched. inaSmuch as Mahoney's friend.
Fat Jack OConner. was supposed 90 have
matters fixed in the interests Of his pat
ron. The scare, however, had had its
effect, and Only one arrest was made for
illegal voting.
In the Second Precinct. located opposite
B'nai Birth Hall on Eddy street. the con-
duct of the officers was disgraceful to say
the least. w. P. LawleT discovered one
of the clerks folding ballots. an act which
is forbidden by law. AS citizen he re-
m0nstrated. but the clerk refused TO deslst,
and did not until Lawler read the law.
The policeman then took hand in the
controversy and elected Lawler from the
booth. In the same preclnc. doubtful
voter was challenged. but the officers re-
fused to accept it. and it was sent to the
new City Hall. In this instance also the
police officer took hand in the trouble
and elected the CHALLENGER.
In the Thirteenth Precin CT, located on
Leavenworth street, between Pacific and
Jackson, Mahoney put IN an appearance
during the afternoon. During his stay a
! well-knoWn citizen entered the booth aud
was challenged. While trying to prove
his identity Mahoney took hand in the
| controversy and accused the gentleman of
working against him. The latter declined
! tn discuss the subject. with the result tina;
! Mahoney ordered policeman 1877 to eject
| him from the booth, which was promptly
done. Mahonev, during the controversy,
| reached for his hip pocket as though to
! draw a pistol, but the policeman stood
idly by and refused to act until the "Sena-
tor gave him Instructions. The excite
ment ran high for a short while, but Ma
! honey influence with the police was made
manifest.

precincts were for the most part situated
in the residence district.
There was considerable excitement oeca-
stoned. however. in Precinct 7 of the
FOrty-second District, at 910 Jones street.
owing TO the refusal of the officers in
charge to accept the votes of two promi-
nent and well-knOwn business men who
have resided in the district for MANY
years. Al an early hour and soon after
the booth was opened, David Marks of
Levi Strauss 81 Co. presented himself for
the purpose OF voting. but was challenged
by Democratic watcher. Bob Fitzgerald.

was doing bis utmost to make things
agreeable for the clerks and inspectors in
charge, and beer and whisky were pro-
vded in large quantities. The result was
that MIR. Marks vote was fatty refused.
and very soon afterward A. W. Weile, of
the firm of A. d +. Weile, was treated in
a similar manner. ProtestatiOns were
useless, and it was not until prominent
retail merchant vnuched for the gentlemen
named that their votes were received.
Fitzgerald and his companions were finally
convinced and Messrs. Marks and Weile
were finally permitted to exercise their
rights as citizens.

THE FORTY-FIRST.
A Little Talk at the Preside After
Voting Hours.


There was large vote cast in this dis
trict. In the Preside precinct the vote
was about evenly divided between the
soldiers and civilians, although the entire
strength of the voters from the barracks
was not polled. Everything passed off
smoothly up to O'Clock. but after then a
weakened attempt was made tc buildOse
the officials at the polling place, on Green
witch street. near Baker.
Shortly after the polls were closed and
the clerks and others were taking breath
ing spell in walked Deputy County Clerk
Maloney, T.. f. Fischer ard several others,
all considerably the worse for wear and
whisky. Maloney at once directed his
conversation TO the clerks and declared
that there was 10 be dirty work in the
Assembly counts. When asked if he
meant the officials at that booth he said
that he had heard it on the outside about
other precincts, and it remained for them
ITO do the honest thing" as he put it. He
was asked who he was and by what right
he was in the booth, whereupon he replied
he had more right to be there than any
one else and started to produce his card,
which, however. he did not do, as nobody
seemed DESTROYS of seeing it. After some
further talk MalOney left the booth.
Fischer then explained be was there In
the interests of the Nou-Partisan party
and produced his card signed by Mayor
EllerT and then proceeded to indulge in a
wranglng contest with those in the booth.
In all the other precincts the utmost
order prevailed. Nearly all the ballots
were deposited by 4 O'Clock. Several
challenges were recorded, but the parties
were sworn in and allowed to vote.
Out at the Sixteenth Precinct on Central
avenue, near California street, four or
five uames had been spotted, but the sus-
pected suffers" did not appear, so the
only chance of excitement was lost.
In both the Thirteenth and Fourteenth
precincts, opposite 2434 jackson ana
1881 Washington streets respectively, the
voting was steady all day.

THE THiRTIETH.
A Falling-Off in the Vote was
Noticeable.

"a EdhfuS-oi III tHS fOtC was
Noticeable.
In the Thirtietb, EN- bracing the district
south of Market and bounded by Fifth,
Harrison and Seventh, much lighter vote
was cast than WAS anticipated. The vot-
ing places were each guarded by police
officer and the vigilance OF those whose
business it was to detect fraudulent voters
was rewarded By the absence of that ele-
ment almost entirely from the voting pre-
cincts. The falling off Of the Thirtieth
District vote is attributed to the vigorous
efforts that were prepared for the arrest
of Illegal voters.
This falling off was most marked in the
First, Second, Eighth, Ninth. Thirteenth,
Tenth, Seventeenth. Fifth, Eleventh and
Sixteenth precincts and was a subject of
much comment among the voters ana poll
tcians who thronged the voting places
during the entire day.
The Thirtieth abounds in cheap loGg-
ing-houses, and 1t was thought that if any
stuffing would be done anywhere it would
be done there. but it appears that illegal
voters were afraid to take the risk and abb
stained altogether from attempting to cast
vote. The operation of the Australian
method of balloting was much smoother
than when tried at last election, aud v0t-
ing generally was in this district more ex-
peditiously performed than before. Still.
there was large number of voters who
| had to be ''instrue ed" and this led to
much delay in some of the precincts. One
man In the Twelfth Precinct occupied
| forty five minutes in filling out the NUM-
! cipaI ticket, but was subjected to so much
| chaff on account of lis slOwDess that he
/ declined to vote the State ticket.
The clerks com blamed OF that tired feel
ing which caused the industrious circulation
Of the ''poor box" and prompt investment:
| 10 liquid refreshment of the proceeds
could not entirely relieve. In the First
| Precinct some discussion resulted from
| the attempt of several persons TO vote who
had removed from residences they occu-
The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1894-11-07

voting seemed to be on the increase, and
just before the polls closed there was
rush at all the booths. Some who were
legally entitled TO vote were shut out DE-
cause they were too late.
In Precinct 10 three suffers made an
effort to vote fraudulently and as result
of their efforts thew now langulsh In jail.
They are Michael Weiman, Solomon Mos
bach and William James Kidd. AS they
did not live In the precinct warrants were
sworn out and they were arrested. A
suffer got in his nefarious WORK 10 the
precinct on First street, between Market
and Mission, by voting the name Of Mr..
B0linger. Five minutes after the stufter
had left Mr.. Bolinger came around and
found that he had been disenfranchised.
The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1894-11-07

vi these jacob and six others we're ar
rested. The name of b. Y. Duncan was
was also voted by suffer and another
enterprising suffer succeeded in voting
the name OF w. Daley, who died several
weeks ago.
In the Fifth Precinct of the district, at
FOLSOM and Ecker streets, serious error
was committed. Fifty ballots had been
turned into the box with the voting num-
per on the stub of the ballot. Instead OF
the clerk retaining the stub with the num-
Der the entire ballot was voted. The mat
ter was remedied, however, and the ballots
will not be lost.
Barney Dougherty was liz charge of the
booth on New Montg emery street, but
there was nothing bu. quieiness in the
vicinity. and even Barney sighed huge
sigh as be admitted it. He said that Rud-
dick for Sheriff was running ahead and
that Hawkins for Coroner was rather be-
hind.
During the afternoon the interest in the

The BaIIoting Went Off Quietly and
Orderly.

Things were quiet in the Twenty-ninth

almost disgusting.
Such an election day was never known
in the district. From the time the polls
were opened in the morning until they

voters went in and out of the booths

the morning. at which time long line of
men stood in front of every booth waiting
their turn. BY noon the line had vanished
and voters simply walked in and procured

THE THIRTY-SE
Slow Work-A Notable Absence of
Challenges.


In the Thirty-Second Assembly District
nothing of serious import occurred to in
terrupt the peaceful casting of the vote.
In most Of the precincts the voting pro-
crossed rapiGly-for instance, in the Eighth
Precinct 1877 votes had been cast up to 2:20
o'clock out of total registration of 191.
There was, however. one notable in
stance 10 which matters did not progress
with desired rapidity and that was in the
Thirteenth Precinct. Only i've stalls were
provided for the voters, and the work was
extremely slow. There appeared TO be a
lamentable lack OF system In the manner
of handling the voters, and when 3 O'Clock
arrived only 204 votes had been cast out of
a registration of $50.
At that hour there was probably twenty
five men standing in line within the
booth awaiting their turns to vote.
Throughout the afternoon men would
occupy the stalls from twenty to thirty
minutes while long list of impatient and
complaining voters awaited an oppor-
tunity to deposit their ballots.
Not single case came TO the attention
of the reporters in this district in which
the services of the police were required.
Very little drunkenness was noticeable,
and it was common remark that the cleo
ton was the most quiet ever known in the
district.
Another noticeable feature was the alb
sence Of challenges. All the Interested
parties had their watchers on hand who
intently scrutinlZed each voter, but there
were very few efforts made 10 stop man
from voting. 1t any "stuffing" was done
in the district the work failed to provoke
any opposition from those whose duty it
was to prevent it.
The lack nf facilities for voting in the
Thirteenth Precinct and one OR two others
caused much unfavorable comment and
it was the general expression that if more
stalls had been provided the work would
have progressed with much greater facil-
ity. The clerks in all the booths had am
pie time TO handle votes at twice the speed
in which thew were cast.
