very many. But they were not the only
men who had gone to the trouble" OF
being registered and lost their vote
The cause Of 1t all was unquestionably
the lack of booths. 1t is true that the
law says there has to be a booth for
every fifty 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 hundreds
of men in the city to-day stood in line
and had finally to see the polls closed in
their faces before they could reach the
ballot boxes.
The inspectors in some of the dis
tricts were in full sympathy with the men
far back in line when the hands of the
clock neared the hour of closing, but
they assert they were not to blame, that
the internal ballot system" was at the
bottom Of the whole lamentable business,
and the booths had little to do with the
condition of affairs in certain quarters.
Anyhow, it is the general belief of the
voters in the uptown west side where
there was more cause for complaint, that
next election day there will be better facil-
tiles for voters il the next legislature is
furnished with proof of the lack of time
and the lack of booth room for voting,
but some of them were found to
be the errors of registrars in taking down
| numbers.
The voting proceeded sowly, owing to
the multiplicity of ballots, and many
voters spoiled their ballots in their first
attempts. But the bulk of the vote of
the city was cast by noon.

Brooklyn, N Y, Nov. 6.-The Citizen
ecognized as the regular democratic repre-
sentative in Brooklyn, has an extra with
this double leader matter: THE city Of
! Brooklyn and county of Kings are again
in the republican list Morton's plurality
here if the figures thus far received are
to be relied upon, as indicating the ratio,
will not fall below 10000. This of course,
means, we assume, defeat for the demo-
cratic city and county tickets, and in all
probability involves the loss of the five
congressional districts"
The republicans have made clean
| sweep in Brooklyn. Morton carries the
| city by about $1,000. Saxton's plurality is
| is elected register and the republicans
have probably elected three congressman
in districts formerly democratic.
The Citizen, democrat, in an extra at 10
| o'clock tonight, says that the republicans
probably carry four out of five congress
sional districts in Kings and thirteen out
of eighteen assembly districts, and elect
their local ticket by an average majority
of 10000.
Brooklyn, N Y, Nov. 6, II :55 p. ma
more quiet election was never known in
Brooklyn than that which passed off to-
day. 1t afforded a marked contrast with
last year, when there was much excite
ment produced by the riotous scenes in
| Gravesend Now this former town is a
city ward, and instead of the polling
places being punched together in the town
hail. where all the voting was formerly
done under the eye of Boss McKane, the
polling places were scattered throughout
the ward. The keen air prevented much
lettering about the polling places through
out the city and the booths and workers
who distributed pastors and gave instruc-
tions in voting were nearly deserted.

1757, Flower 2340.
Buffalo, n. Y, Nov. 6-The democratic

Hill and Gov. Flower concede that the
Democratic party is beaten in this state.
