Hamburg-ave by the attempt OF an intoxicated
man to vote on another's name. A scrimmage took
place In which he was roughly handled. 1t had
leaked out that the registry list had been padded

man Matthew Mcguire. Socialist leader of National
reputation. His course in the Common Council has
drawn many adherents from the Democratic ranks
and a desperate effort made to-day to bury him
forever politically. Democratic workers. armed with
unlimited cash. began to fish for "hoaers' early In
the day. Socialists from all over the city followed
them about, however, and In several cases went
before Justice of the Peace Canning and swore out
complaints

the "boodlers'' into flight He went before Justice
Canning and secured search warrant after first
charging David McGinnis with having stolen goods
turned TO the polls and. awaiting his opportunity
called upon the police to arrest McGnnis and
search him. Pa,rolman Carton demanded to see
