DIVIDED OUT THE SPOILS.
The BackerS Of Tdmmaly and the
Citizens Club PAY Their Bets.

Over IS, 900 Said to Have Changed
Hands on the Result of the Primary.
Hon. f. @. duBignon Expected to Be
the New Chairman of the Party-The
omoial Vote Of the Primary TO Be
Declared To-day.
Yesterday was the day after the battle.
The winners proceeded to draw their
dividends, which were heavy, and to en-
JOY the victory by rehearsing the events
Of the fight and chatting their friends on
the other side, which was all taken in
good part.
1t is estimated that not less than IS, 900
changed hands as tne result Of the cleo
ton. One well known business man is
said TO have won over 81, 600 as the
result of the confidence with which
he backed his ticket. Another is known
TO be several hundred dollars better of
for the same reason. Several were said
to be winners of from 500 to $500 Many
small bets were made, which added to
the general total The Citizens Club men
who put up 81, 900 with Mr.. A. Fernandez
against an equal amount from the other
side, took down their money yesterday
morning and divided it among those who
had furnished it, 1t was very pleasant
proceeding for them, and they were all
in good humor, as they had good reason
to be.
TOOK 1T GOOD-NATUREDLY.
The Tammany and Democratic Club
leaders bore the chatting of their oppo-
nents good-naturedly, but they did not
evince any disposition to discuss the re-
suit of the election to any great extent
Many of them acknowledged that they
could not help feeling sore. Defeat was
so compile and overwhelming that they
could not help but feel otherwise. There
was not a single bit of consolation any
where, and everybody felt it,
Chairman Charlton will go through the
returns carefully to-day for the purpose
of ascertaining the exact vote and declar-
ing the result of the election. If there is
no contest, and there will be none, he
will declare the result at o'clock this
afternoon, which will be the expiration
of the forty-eight hours allowed after the
closing of the polls in which to file notice
of contest. Mr. Charlton remained al the
court house until after o'clock yester-
day morning for the purpose of making a
summary of the returns for the satisfac-
tion of the candidates.
DIFFERENCES IN THE RETURNS.
Mr.. Charlton's summary differs CON
sidera bly, from that published in yester-
days MORNING News, each candidate
being credited with from 30 to 100 more
votes than in the MORNING NEWS sum-
mary, which was made up from the figures
furnished by the managers of each box.
There were only 3, 1870 votes cast. OF this
the MORNING News credits Mr. Anderson
with 1893 aud Mr.. Osborne with l,7Sl,
making a total of $3.50. There were
at least ten votes cast on which
the name of neither candidate for sena-
tor appeared. Mr. Charlton's summary
gives Osborne 1916 and Anderson go,
which would make total of 1886, or 1855
more votes than were cast at the election.
II is probable in summing up the figures
that the list of split tickets from some box
was added up twice straight through,
giving the candidates on each side more
votes than were actually received by
them. There is considerable interest in
| this matter, as there are a number of bets
on the majorities of the two tickets, and
also because the friends of the candi-
dates for committeeman are inclined 70
estimate the popularity of the candidates
by the vote received by them.
A typographical error made the vote of
Capt. John klannery in the gubernatorial
delegation appear as /, $50, when 1888 was
intended. The only error of importance,in
the summary was in the vote of the con
| gressiOnal delegation on the Democratic
Club ticket, which was credited with
about 100 votes less than was actually
cast for it, on account of the failure to in
| clude the vote of one box in summing III
the vote. This did not give enough votes
| TO elect, however.
DUBIGNON LIKELY TO BE CHAIRMAN.
| Hon. f. G. duBignon will probably be
| the chairman of the new executive com
mittee if he will accept the position. MIR
! Charlton, the present chairman of the
| party, said last night that his under
| standing of party custom, and the agree
ment under which the committee was
| elected, is that the committee may select
chairman outside of its own member.
ship if it SO desires. MIR. j. S. Collins
! Mr.. M. w. Dixon, Mr.. w. w. Starr and
! Maj. John Schwarz are the members OF

| likely be selected for the place in case
MIR. duBignOn is not made chairman.
HAD A NARROW ESCAPE.
One Of the incidents of the election
| was the narrow escape of Mr.
! Thomas Ballantyne, Jr., one OF
| the Iammany candidates for the ex.
| ecutive committee, from drowning Mr..
! Ballantyne went down on the early morn
| ing Tybee train TO bring up body OF
Tammany voters who were engaged on
| the government works at Fort Pulaski
! The storm was in full blast when MIR
| Ballantyne undertook TO pass over the
arm of the river between the railroad
! and Fort Pulaski in a small rowboat
| The boat was overturned three times, and
! had not Mr.. Ballantyne and his compan
| ion both been good swimmers there would
have been a very serious casualty to
| record as part of the days events The
boat was righted every time, however
and the party finally reached the fort in
safety. The return trip was made with.
| out difficulty, and Melted nine votes fol-
| Tammany.
The Dayton who was the casus belli OF
the row between the partisans of the two
factions on Julian street Tuesday after
| noon was Smith Dayton, the painter, and
not Walter A. Dayton, the civil engineer
