The morning call., 1894-06-03

In the twenty-ninth the Burns lieute,-
ants copied the methods followed by their
comrades in arms in the twenty ighth.
They scrapped and voted dead men and
repeated in the most approved fashion,
both at the polls in Irish American Hall
and at 763 Howard street. Those who
we're thrown out of line got back at the
end aud tried it again and kept things
moving in lively fashion. The detail of
police at each lace was kept busy. but
only found it necessary to make half a
dozen arrests during the day.
The Burns people made as wicked a
fight as in the other Keily-Crmmns
stronghold and when the polls closed il
was thought they had been just as sue
cessful.
Although it was expected that there
would be some sort of contest In the
Thrtieth and Thrty-second Assembly
districts, the primary election ia both was
remarkably tame The voting was heavy
and most OF it was done in the forenoon.
hut it was Burns from the start, and the
Kellg-Crimmins gang was not in it. The
polling at Tehama and Sixth ran up to
400 before O'Clock, and iU was the most
orderly DOlllng-place held in that vicinity
for years. In the ThTty-frst District,
however. things were little more lively
Il has always awakened the ardor of the
residents of this district when the pane Of
bless" Is mentioned, and although Zig.
gins lived in that district il never went for
him. A Kelly-Crimmins ticket appeared
in the field headed by w. w. Montague,
called the regular" ticket, and beside
Montague we're: Andrew J. MeaGher,
Patrick O'Connor, Frank Murray, G. Mem

CURE.
This opposition only lasted an hour or so
and died out. John Martin watched pro-
ceedlngs from the opposite corner to the
polling place, which was at Tenth and
I
although the regular" side declared that
the ballot-b0x had been stuffed. II was
asserted that the box, five minutes after
the polls had been opened. had 200 tickets
IN il; that this box had been substituted
for the proper box. which would have not
had more than three votes. This was
laughed at by Martin and the others who
denied any sharp practice.
At Mission and Eighth, the same dis
tFict, there was similar ODpOaitiun early in
the day, but hething exciting happened.
In fact the election was the Quietest held
in the district for years.
In the Thrty-f0urth Assembly District
there was no opposition, as the Kelly
Grim Minis ombnation had failed the night
before to get up ticket. Some names
were put on the opposition ticket, but it
was found at the last moment that their
owners would not ter the contest, and in
fact announced their disapproval OF the
ticket. SO everything went along smoothly
for the sake of form at the pOlIing-places
az 21e2 Howard and Shotwell streets. A
remarkably large vote was cast in each
place, however.
The Thirty-fifth Assembly District was
conquered by Spreckels and Burns at
noon, but not without protest from the
contestants calling themselves regular Re-
puollcans. An opposition ticket, as fol-
lows, " as In the field mp 10 that hour:
IT A.
Joseph MeIigHe, Martin FTagley, William Fay,
A. Gilieather, Ira Bray.
This ticket represented the Kelly-
Crlmmins side. which had j. Morgan for
Judge and William Patton for clerk in the
polling place at Twenty-third and Valen-
cia streets, aud William Doody as Judge
and James de Succa as clerk at 1875 Va
iencla street. When the polls opened a
Tong line OF assorted primary voters
stretched up to each window. Both fac
tlons were we'll represented in these
crowds, and the fight continued until 10
O'Clock with frequent disputes of the
ordinary nature.
AT noon. however, Thomas Barclay.
Jack Welsh. Democrat from the Pc
trero. and Jack Hoey, a Democrat from
the Thirty-second District, came unon the
scene with leo men of all sorts aud set
them 10 work industriOusly with ballots.
They voted the burns-SpTeckeIs ticket. nj
which the opposition protested vigorously
after many futile challenges of votes.
Burns men paid no heed 10 the COMPLAINTS
so County Committeeman John Graham
and Or. Mclaughlin called out the clerks
and judges who represent ted their side OF
the fight. This left the field entire.y i'm
the hands of Burns and Spreckels. Four
re ainers were sworn in and then voting
was continued without cessation, The
vanquished ones stood around with long
faces and talked of having the ballot re-
jected at SACRAMENTO. which was their
