New YORK. Nov. 7.-(Special. THE |
New York City election was remarkable
for the general quiet that prevailed. De-
spite the intense party feeling that ran
with great 6erceness in every district
from the Battery to Spuyten Dysil, with
the exception Of few ordinary encoun.
tcrs. there was no happening that could
be called riotous in any section. -Four
of the districts watched by close observ vers
resulted in no discoveries that were
more striking than the ordinarily seri.
Gus, determined mood the average voter
seemed to be in. Men who never dream
of taking breakfast before 0 O'Clock in
the morning were everywhere at the
polls long before they were 's.,allv open
for voters. They stood iu the chilly air
reading the city papers, calming waiting
till the time came tor business to begin.
In the big districts on the west side
there were long lines of men who stood
for hours without being able to get any
where near the polls till two or three
hours alter they had got place in sim
gle files on the sidewalk. At one time in
some of the brown stone districts where
the Republican strength was voting many
of the voters became suspicious as to
the real cause of the slow movement
ahead Of them at the ballot boxes,
feeling that the delay was caused by
many instances there was some basis tor
this view OF the situation, and when it
become apparent to inspectors and
watchers that too much time was being
taken up by slow coachers there was a
cry: Get move on YOU" and things
became rustling. There was actual DIS
franchisement IN hundreds OF cases. In
various parts of the city the unfortunate
fellows who were allowed no guideposts
behind the scenes, we're unable to make
ballot ends meet legally and had to give
up the job finally. They were many, but
they were not the only men who had gone
to the trouble OF being registered and
lost their vote. The cause OF it all was
unquestionablv lack of booths. 1t is true
the law says there has to be u booth tor
every so voters and that in several dis.
tricts extra booths were quickly put in
place the night before election day; but
all that did not alter the fact that hun
dreds of men in the city yesterday stood
in line and had finally to see the polls
close in their faces before they could
| reach the boxes.
The insp ctors in some of the districts
were in full sympathy with the men far
back in the line when the hands OF the
clock neared the hour OF four, but, they
assert, they were not to blame; that the
Internal ballot system was at the bot
tom of the whole lamtntable business,
and booths had little to do with the
condition of affairs. Any how. it is the
general belief OF the voters in the uptown
west side where there was the most
cause for complaint that the next elec-
ton day there will be better facilities tor
votes if the next legislature is furnished
with proof of the obvious lack of booth
room for voting.
