NEW YORK, Nov. 6-The election in
New York was remarkable for the gen
cral quiet with the exception Of few
ordinary encounters there was no hap
pening that could be called riotous in
any section. A tour of the districts by
close observer resulted in no discoveries
that were more striking than the extra
ordinary serious. determined mood the
average voter seemed TO be in. Men who
never dream Of taking breafast before
O'Clock In the morning were everywhere
al the polls long before they were legally
open for votes They stood in the chilly
air reading their papers, calmly waiting
tin the time came for 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 near till
two hours OF more.
SUSPICIOUS INACTIVITY.
At one time in some Of the brownstone
districts. where the Republican strength
is noted, many 0t the voters became sus-
picous as TO the real cause OF the SLOW
movement ahead of them. and al me pal
lot boxes and the feeling grew stronger
that the delay was caused Dy the man
cious inactivity of their enemies. IN
many instances there was some pasis
for this view of the situation ana when ~
the watchers that too much ume was
beine taken up by the slow coaches
there was cry OF Get move on YOU
and things became more roi,lbs,,, rosIn,nb, in

LACK OF BOOTHS.
The cause Of II all was unquesuonably
the lack of booths. II Is true that me
law saws there has to be a booth Tor every
nftv voters, and that i'm several districts
extra booths were quickly put In place
the night before election day; but all that
aid not alter the fact that hundreds oi
men IN the city to-day stood In line, ana
had finally TO see the polls close IN their
faces before they could reach the ballot
boxes. The Inspectors In some OF the as
fricts were ln fun sympathy with the
mon far hack In line when the hands of
the clock neared the hour or 4; nut they
assert that they were not 10 blame; tnat
the internal ballot system was at the
bottom of the whole lamentable business,
and the booths had little 10 do with the
condition of affairs I'm certain quarters.
Anyhow, 1t Is the general belief OF the
voters I'm the uptown west side, Where
there was most cause for complaint, that
on the next eleCuon-day there Will be
better facilities for voters, II the next
Legislature Is furnished with proof of
the lack of time and lack of booth-room
for voting.
