1t Was the Quietest Ever Held in
This City.
Partial Returns Indicate That Most of
the Republican Ticket
is Elected.

The election in this city yesterday was
one of the quietest ever held. The morn
ing dawned clear and delightful, and the
day throughout was of the Indian sum-
mer order-warm and pleasant.
Voting was begun early, and long be-
fore noon more than one-half the ballots
in some of the precincts had been depos-
tied in the balIot-boxes.
The balloting proceeded quietly all day.
RECoRD-UNIoN reporters visited every
polling-place in the city, and so quiet was
it about many of them that some diff
Guilty was experienced in finding tho
voting booths, there being no crowds
about them.
Only one disturbance was reported,
and that was at Second and J streets,
where challenger was knocked down
for questioning the right of a citizen to
vote there. He got away as quickly as
he could, and there was no further
trouble.
The following special officers were ap-
pointed by Mayor Steiaman yesterday
morning, 10 serve until noon to-day: w.
l.. Click, l.. Gardiner, l.. B. ISham, G.
II. Latson, III. j. Cowger, z. II. Kearns,
Henry BetZ, +. NJ. Taylor, L. \. I1sLa-
brook and w. S. Wilkinson, patrol
driver.
Many of the saloon proprietors obeyed
the order of the City Board of Trustees
TO close their places of business, but
others paid no attention to the law. ~
few were very defiant when the police
officers visited them and demanded that
their saloons be closed.
Thomas Kenney, who conducts a
saloon in the rear OF his grocery store, on
Fourth street, between l. and Nj; Jacob
tasoler, at Third and j streets, and Sam
Beariko, on Front street, between y and
q, were arrested for selling liquor.
1he saloons were reopened at q O'Clock
In the evening.
Referring 10 the disregard of the law
and the order of the board, Trustee Davis
said last evening:
II don't see how the board can do other
Wise than revoke the licenses OF men who
dehed the law. We cannot afford to
make orders anu have them treated with
contempt"
Other members of the Board of Trus-
tees spoke in the same vein.
Among the incidents of the day was
the leading of a couple of horses up and
down the streets by a couple Of boys. On
one, good-looking white steed, was
sneet with the legend: This is the color
OF the Peoples party, and the condition
IN which 1t will leave the country" On
The other, an old yellow spawned and
crippled animal, similar sheet, bearing
The inscription: Rep, Estee; Dem.
Budd. This is the color of their parties
and the condition in which they have left
the country
AS the horses were being led by down
town polllng-place. George Smith went
out In the street and warned the boy lead
Ing the crippled horse that if he did not
desist he would have him arrested for
cfuelty TO animals. and the LAD led the
crowbait away.
During the count last night at the poll
Ing place on Is street, between Eleventh
ana twelfth. an accident happened to the
lamp. 1t fell and would have set fire and
destroyed Lie ballots had not John i.
Slater thrown something over the flames
and smothered them. His hands were
severely burned in the operation.
