BUDD WAS RUNNING AHEAD,
Carrying With Him Some of His
Democratic Friends.
TROUBLE IN THE FORTY-THIRD,
The Count Slow on the State
Ticket-Estee's Strength Va
riously Represented.

polls closed at o'clock only 3405 votes
had been cast. The complexion of the
district is so completely Democratic that
the certainty Of very large majority for
Budd for Governor will surprise no one.
OF the votes counted at a late hour last
night fully five out of eight we're for
Budd. In some precincts he led Estee
four to one, and in many others three to
one. The further away from Market
street the larger Budd's majority. 1t sur
prised a good many TO learn that in a dis
trict where sympathy for Populists' doc
trineS was not believed TO exist
Webster, the PopGlist candidate for Gov
ernor, should have had any votes at all,
but the Indications last night were that he
would poll an appreciable vote. in some
precincts almost eqQaling the vote of Estee
At IL O'clock last night only 1852 votes
had been counted, as the orders given were
10 have the State ticket counted and in the
hands of the egstrar by o'clock this
morning, but appearances last night indi-
Gated that some of the precincts will be
unable TO obey the order, the lack OF SyS-
TEN displayed in the handling OF ballots by
the inexperienced and IN many cases Ill
crate clerks being responsible for delay.
The counting of the municipal ticket will
not begin until the State ticket is out of
the way. and consequently the returns for
that portion of the result from the Thir-
tieth Assembly District will necessarily be
delayed.
The booths of the district wero all
thronged till late hour by interested
crowds, who listened to the counting of
the votes with the most breathless in-
tArest. No Quarrels of any kind occurred,
and in respect to the peaceableness OF the
election of 1894 in the Thirtieth District
there could be found no question.
An accident occurred in the Fifth Pre-
cinct, which delayed the count for some
time. Owing 10 Indifferent construction,
the floor gave way, and clerks and spec
tatOrs were dumped into the gutter. 1t
was thought by some that the floor gave
way, unable TO support the enormous i'm
portance so consplcuously Displayed by
some of the officials employed there.
In the Ninth District ex-senator Lynch
and James Creegan had charge OF the
booth and received great credit for the ex-
cellent management displayed.
In the Thirty-irst the counting of the
ballots commenced shortly after the clos
ing of the polls and progressed without in
terruptlOn. There was no trouble at all
during the counting of the State ticket,
which tlsk was not completed until the
small hours of the morning.
In every precinct the name of Budd ap-
peared to be triumphant. His companion
along with him in most instances. and it
was very evident that the voters of the
| Thirty-first District we're out for Demo-
| cratic Governor. As near as could be
! gagged Budd ran two to one ahead of his
| competitors 10 the race. Estee and Webster
| coming IN for but small share of patron
! age, Two to one on Budd here, was
| the cry at every spolling-boOth.
| From the aspect of things il looked as If
the closest fight was TO be between Treacy
/ and Williamson for the office of Assembly
man. The only disputes that were noticed
| in the counting were over these names,
and the partiSans of either man were ex-
tremely anxious to see that the cross op-
! posite either Of these names was placed
exactly in the space intended for it and
not on the line. There were a few argu-
ments from time 10 time, but they did q OF
amount to anything. There will probably
| be few spoiled votes. McGiade, Smyth
and Maddox each had numerous sup
! porters.
1t was very late before the State ticket
was counted, and the arduous task of call
| ing over the municipal ballot-papeTs began.
In the Tbirty-fifth, the counting, while
progressing slowly, shows that Budd is
running ahead of his ticket, and has pro b.
ABLY carried this district, which has gen.
| orally been rated as Repu blican.
! The State ticket has been badly
| scratched. and indications are that the
municipal ticket when reached will be
| even more so.
With about half of the votes counted
the tally sheets show that Budd is away
ahead of Estee in nearly all of the twelve
| precincts, and only in few are they ruu-
ming like any thing even.
Willard has evidently carried the dis
trct.
Lewis H. Brown, the Republican. is
miles in the lead of the field for Secretary
of State.
John S. Dore, the PEOPLES party nomi-
nee for Controller, also had a strong LEAD.
This party seems to have accomplished
considerable. as they will undoubtedl '
elect their Assem- blvmaD, Calvin Ewing.
Louis Luckle, candidate for Attorney
General. and Elgin c. Hurlber'. for Super
intendent of State Printing, all its nomi.
Dees were in the lead last. night and all
stood an excellent chance OF carrying the
district
c. S. Smytb, the Democratic nominee
for SUPERINTENDENT of Public Instruction
and Jackson Temple for full term Associ.
ate Justice Supreme Court will probably
carry the district.
The balance of the Offices fall to the Re.
publicans, as nearly all of IFS nominees
are in the lead. William +. Fitzgerald
also stands an excellent chance of win.
ming out over Luckle, the Peoples party
man.
Ebert is thought to have run well. bu,
it is generally believed that Sutro will re.
ceive plurality OF the vote.
In the FOrty-frst at IL o'clock last even.
ing Budd was running ahead of his ticket
Judge HenShaw on The Republican and
Judge Temple on the Democratic tickel
polled an enormous vote. Owing to the
Democratic Congressional split Congress.

William S. Wood, Republican candidate
for the Senate in the TweDty-second Dis
irict. has received very light vote in the
FOrty-first. The election of Percy Hen.

most assured. III. G. FIrebaugh (Rep

In The FOrty-fourth at IL CLOCK a can
