WORSE Than An ERROR
Ballots Distributed in Hoboken
With the Eighth District
Candidate On.

1t may have been another stupid blum
der or it may have been something else,
but official ballots were given on in some
of the polling places in Hoboken this
/ morning having on them the name of
Freeman o. Wiley for Congress in the
Eighth district, and the names of John
F. Heating and Henry. Hess, Jr., for Free
holders The ballots shad on the top,
Regular Democratic Party" and on the
back they had the official signature of
John G.. Fisher, County Clerk. Now Mr..
Fisher ought to know that the only voters
in this county who can vote for Mr.. Will
ley for Congress live in Bayonne. They
don't vote for him in Hobeken. They
vote there for Mr.. McEwan or Mr.. Young
or the Congressional candidates on any of
the other tickets There seems to be no
excuse for such a stupid blunder, if it
was bunder. There is some danger that
all of these ballots which have been cast
may be invalid, as they might be con-
sidered marked ballots.
The blunder was discovered by ex-Free-
holder Ellis when he went to vote this
morning. He noticed the name of the
Congressional candidate who is. running
in the Eighth district and the names of
the Freeholders who are running in Ho-
boken, and concluded that there must be
something wrong. Mr.. Ellis called the
attention of Senator DAILY to the matter,
and the Senator saw at once that there
was great danger that the candidates on
the county ticket might lose a great many
votes
Senator Daily took the first car up to the
Hill and consulted with Justice Lippin-
colt. He explained the situation and
asked what ought TO be done about it.
Justice Lippincott advised that the ballots
be counted as they are cast, and if there
is enough of these erroneous ballots to
affect the result the courts may be able
to correct the mistake
Clerk Fisher says that only two small
packages Of these ballots We're sent out,
and he sent one of his clerks down to Ho-
boken to withdraw them from the polling
places. He lays the blame on the printer.
This is the erroneous ticket:-

Pennaylrania,s Heavy Vote.

PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 8, 1S9s.-The
weather throughout Eastern Pennsyl-
vanfa today is clear. In this city an ex-
tremely large vote is being polled, the
balloting during the early morning hours
being heavier than was ever before
known. The total vote of the city will
undoubtedly be the heaviest ever cast.
This condition is the result of the fierce
Shrievalty contest, which has overshad-
owed the Presidential campaign. The
fight for the local Office is between
Samuel H. Ashbridge, the regular Re-
publican nominee, who is being support
ed by the municipal administration forces,
of which ex-Republican National Com
mitteeman David Martin is the leader,
and Alex. Grow, Jr., the Mckinley citi-
zens' nominee, whose candidacy has also
been endorsed by the Democrats. Mr..
Crow is allied with the Quay faction of
the Republican party. Both sides are CON
fident of victory, the respective followers
claiming majorities ranging from $4,000
to 10000. The Republicans claim that
Mckinley will have a majority in Phila-
delphia of over 100000.
