 YESTERDAYS ELECTION Passed Off Quietly and Without
 Special Features. IT IS J. A. VANH0OSE. His AldermaniC Ticket Elected. Results as Far as Was
 Heard From.

The municipal election yesterday passed off quietly, though excitement was at fever heat almost the entire day.
 The polls in the various wards were opened at O clock, and at once rush was made for the booths by the hundreds formed in line.
 The voting was slow on account of the great length of time req quired for each man to prepare his ballot, and in two or three of the wards. notably the First and Second. large numbers of men were in line at o'clock, when the polls closed.
 The negro vote was enormous as com pared with the white vote.
 The republicans were very active all day distributing slips among the negroes and explaining to them the method of voting.
 Early in the morning the voting at the Second ward was suspended for some little time on account of a disagreement between the managers.
 At the First ward last night, it is stated Chief Mcdonald and three or four of his policemen took their places in the room with the managers and avowed their inten- ton of seeing the count. The democrats protested against them remaining in the room and refused to proceed with the count until the chief and other officers left the room. This delayed the counting an hour or more.
 TWO or three GrreSIs were maQ6 curing the day, but the parties in each case gave bond on the spot.
 Last night Mir. VonHoose went to Clerk w. w. Crawford's office and suggested the appointment of six men, three by MT. Crawford and three by MT. VanHoose, to guard the boxes, after the votes were
 counted, through the night. This MT. Crawford, after some consideration, de- clined to do. and offered to leave the boxes in care of committee selected Na,1 NAr1k1~ declined, the VanHoose men not wishing to
 take the responsibility upon themselves. MT. Crawford then offered to place the boxes in vault at the Berney National bank if Mir. J. s. Cobbs, the president, would consent to it. MT. Cobbs was seen and agreed to the proposition. The vote was very light as compared with the registration, there being differ ence of more than 2000. The vote by wards was as follows: THIRD WARD.
