The election passed off very quietly in the city of Birmingham yesterday, the vote be- ing very light. The vote in the city was only about 75 per cent of the August vote. There was no excitement at any time dur ing the day, and but little interest mani- fested. At no time was the crowd around the voting places large, forming quite a contrast to the enthusiastic throngs massed about the entrances to the polling places in the August election.
 The day was clear. with the thermometer registering down in the 30's. Quite num- Der of backs were used by each party, but with all their efforts the party leaders were unable to get out full vote.
 The republicans early in the morning set up the cry of fraud but the democrats merely laughed at them. knowing the charges of the enemy were baseless. Many of the leaders were heard to say, and in fact they made concealmenL of it, that MT. Aldrich would be seated whether elected or not.
 Several arrests were made during the day, the charges in each case being a vio- lation of section 43 of the Sayre election law.
 The portion of that section said to have been violated reads as follows: 'Who shall endeavor to induce any elecsor to show how he marks, or has marked his ballot, or aids, or attempts to aid, any elector by means of any mechanical device, or any other means in marking his ballot, or shall print, or procure to be printed, or have in his possession any copy of the ballot prepared to be voted, shall be guilty of misdemeanor, and on conviction shall be fined not less than $10 nor more than $lQ0, and any ballot marked by the elector for identification shall be rejected.n U At the city hall, the voting place for beat 97 north, w. NJ. McGii and Jesse Claxton were arrested early in the morning and locked up. They were charged with violating the above section.
 Charges were made against P. J. Moran by democrats at the Southside reel house. He went into the polling place with a ticket almost an exact copy of the official ballot. This was violation of section 43.
 Wade Mothershed was arrested and placed under bond in seven cases on the same charge. He was at the ice house, the polling place for beat 21 south. w. F. Wright, a Louisville and Nashville engi- neer, and Dave Taylor, colored, were ar- rested on the same charge. They gave bond.
 
 The polls at the city hall were opened at 8 o'clock. The managers were B. M Allen, F. H. Gafford and J. A. w. Smith; clerks, Clanton Miller and Frank Hewitt; returning officer, W. l. Love. The total vote at this place was S97, of which Underwood received 657 and Aldrich $40; Underwood's majority 217, being a net gain of 76 for Underwood over Oates' majority in the August election. The total vote then was 1211.
