BEWARE OF FRAUD.

Look out for fraud at the
election; the voter must go into
the voting place, get his ticket
and retire to a booth and prepare
it to suit himself; if he is unable
to do so two judges of election
can wait on him; to secure his
choice these two judges should
not be of the same party, The
judges should watch carefully
that the ballots they stamp "offi
cial" are used and none others;
if a voter spoils a ballot let him
apply for another returning the
one not used. There are fines and
penalties attached to certain of
fences touching the official bal
lot, which should be enforced.

THE Y. NJ. G.. A. WON.

A practice game of football
was played at Fort Sam Hous-
yesterday afternoon between
the Y. NJ. c. A. and the Peacock
teams, which resulted in a score
of IA to 0 in favor of the Y. NJ. c.
A. team. The grounds were
very muddy, which handicapped
both teams.
On their return to the city the
Y. NJ. G. A. boys were the objects
of much cOmmiseratiOn of their
lady friends and of horror from
the men, on account of their ter
ribly muddy appearance, their
suits having scarcely a clean spot
free from mud. upon them.

Judges AND CLERKS.

There should be at least five
Judges and five clerks at each poll
in order to properly carry out the
law. Two judges and two clerks
should begin the counting of bal
lots at the expiration of the first
hour and continue until the votes
are all counted. Two judges
should be detailed to aid the IL
literate voter; the presiding judge
and three clerks can run the bal
lot boxes. The way elections
have been conducted heretofore
the law has been violated, as the
counting has been reserved until
the polls are closed. This must
be done and there is ample power
in the law to secure a full com
plement of judges and clerks, as
it provides that each party shall
be entitled to representation
This matter should be looked in
to at once. There is no senst

As hours to perform the work.

do the counting in any other way
than prescribed by law might
vitiate the election. The law
does not say that there shall be

An Opportunity Open For the
Rescue Home Workers.
The parents of 16-year-old
girl appeared before Constable
McCloskey yesterday and com.
planned bitterly of their daugh-
ter's waywardness. The moth
er's eyes were wet from tears and
the father tried to console the
poor woman. The daughter,
who is fairly good looking, had
run away from home and was
reported to the officers as living
in a house of ill-fame on East
street. Deputy Constable Chas.
Van Ripper was sent out to look
for the girl and found her in a
two-stOry sporting house on East
street. She was taken to the
constable's office, where her par,
ents were waiting for her. They
tried every means to persuade
her to return home, but the girl
was obstinate and said that she
would under no circumstances
sleep under her parents roof
again. Out of consideration fol-
the girls parents the names OF
all parties concerned are with

the votes of Tanner and Mckinley the
former has in most instances run slightly
behind the latter. The figures, however,
plainly show that Tanners loss was no
gain for Altgeld. Forman was the gamer

London, Nov. 3.-Interest in the presiden-
tial campaign in the United States is the
greatest ever known in this country in a
similar event. Some idea of the extraordi-
nary interest taken may be seen in the
fact that the London newspapers are pre-
pairing to bulletin the results Of the bal
loting on receipts of the cable news from
the United States. The feature of business
on the stock exchange to-day was the
buoyancy of American securities in response
to the New York market -

sterling of American securities are held

investors to hold them ''even if Bryan is

On the stock exchange the betting was
steady at 4 to 1 on Mckinley. It Is said
some of the big firms would hold open all
night in order to receive the results of the
election from the United States, and it is
expected there will be a mad rush at the
opening of the market tomorrow.

In the comparison of the vote with that
of the last presidential election, Ohio made
unprecedented gains for Mckinley. In 1892
Harrison carried Ohio by an average plu-
rality for the Republican electors Of 1O72.
The Republicans have had phenomenally
large pluralities in Ohio the past three
years, commencing with McKinley's re-
election as governor in 1898, while in 1892
the result was very close. The largest plu-
rality ever given Republican presidential
ticket in Ohio was "a 900 for Garfield in
1880. While the Democratic state commit
tee makes no claims on the state tonight,
the Republican state committee expect the
complete returns to break all former
records.
Mckinley carried his own ward by the
following precinct plura1ities: A, 10; B,
81; G, 115; D, Is. Total, 291. This ward
gave Cleveland 1903.
The latest returns indicate the election
of seventeen Republicans and two Demo-
Gratis to congress and two districts in doubt.

state committee, has conceded the state to

dead, having been shot through the head
