FIFTEENTH FOR GLEESON
1t Was His District From First (,
Last.

1t Was His District From First to
Last.
Perhaps no district in the city was
visited by a larger number OF voters than
the Fifteenth, the polling place of which was
located a No. 715 Fourth street northwest.
At O'Clock, when the polls opened. no
less than 400 people were congregated on
the sidewalk waiting to cast their votes.
and it is needless to say that much interest
and excitement prevailed. Lieut.. Kelly,
Sergt. Falvey and half dozen policemen
were stationed there to preserve order.
Col. Andrew Gleeson was apparently the
favorite and Gleeson and Bailey ballots
were plentiful. Young Andy was about
looking after his fathers interests. and
occasionally the old gentleman himself
would put in an appearance to ascertain
lust how things We're going.
"You can see for yourself that it's
Gleeson here, and nothing but Gleeson,"
remarked Andrew, ir., to The Times.
And Gleeson it was, indeed, for one
scarcely heard another's name mentioned.
During the afternoon the crowd around
the polls became so large that the police
were obliged to clear the sidewalk with
their sticks. 1t was a very orderly as
semblage, however, and what the Officers
said was law and no one dared to break it.
The morning times., 1896-01-29
EIGHTH WAS ENTHUSIASTIC
Many Late Corners Failed to Get Their
Ballots In.

Ballots In.
Up in the Eighth district the widest en-
thusiasm prevailed from the minute the
polls opened and when the window of the
voting booth, at No. 1119 Q street, was
closed, fully 900 men stood in line waiting
to vote or to vote again. No arrests were
made.
In probably no other precinct in the city
was there such an Importation of foreign
voters. From until 4 O'Clock the
generals of Gleeson and Bailey were the
most active workers in the field.
An hour before the polls closed the special
envoys of Nauck and Brooks, together with
a reinforcement of Carson's healers, ar
rived and fence laying went on in earnest.
With the approach of the closing hour the
voters packed sardine.like in the space in
front of the ballot box window.
The new arrivals on the outskirts of the
crowd who were hungering for suffrage
squeezed against those in front with
force like that of a hydraulic cider press,
until many of those III front were raised
onto the shoulders of the men about them.
Occasionally some one would give the
alarm of fight and rush madly around
the corner followed by large detachment
of the GRO wd that only renewed the onset
toward the ballot box with renewed vigor
when 1t discovered that it had been fooled.
When the window closed the crowd was
inclined to linger and left only on the as
surance of the sergeant and the four
policemen, who were designated to keep
order. that their wait would be in vain.

IN THE WEST END.

Not an Arrest and IA Heavy Vote
Polled in Both Precincts.
Peace and quiet reigned at both polling
places in Georgetown. At No. 1881 Q
street it was the unanimous opinion OF the
haugers-on that Gleeson and Bailey were
easy winners, while al No. 1928 Twenty
eighth street there was decided differ
eUce IF opinion as to who were the victors.
The police had a comparatively easy
day. Upon several occasions they were
obliged TO quiet particularly demon
strative voter. but never was the situation
So serious that il was necessary to make an
arrest.
A heavy vote was polled at both places.
Nearly everybody who could voted early
aud often.
Saloons in the neighborhood did land
office business all day. At the close of the
polling places there were numberless ne.
grues in a fair way Of being hopelessly
drunk before morning dawned.
Things is reached a pretty pass" said
an aged and decrepit but violent Carson
negro of Georgetown to a Times reporter.
DO You see all those young niggers up
there half drunk? Well, they've all voted
for Gleesou and Bailey. An YOU know the
reason?'
The reporter confessed that he was en-
tirely ignorant of their movements.
We'll, I'll tell you. Them Gleeson and
Bailey men are around here buying votes

Voters With grievances were numerous

old Negro in particular was loud in his
prctostations against what he termed q
"cnuspeeracy' against him.

the reporter.

POLICE KEPT THEM QUIET.

Light and the Crowd Noisy.
In the Sixteenth district the polling place
was changed early in the afternoon from
No. l22 Four-and da-half street northwest,
TO Indiana avenue, near First street, and
that perhaps was responsible for the small
number of votes cast in the precinct.
The crowd which gathered about the
poll during the afternoon, although not
large. was exceedingly enthusiastic, the
enthusiasm being in a large part for
GIeeson. Many oo.oTed and few white
men came early and as there was nothing
TO prevent, voted often
Occasionally a discussion would artsr IS
TO whether or not some voter had placed
more than one ballot in the box and had
it not been for a squad of big policemen
who were on hand. the angry words that
frequently passed between the blacks and
the whites might have resulted in blows.
Bat as it was everything went off smoothly
and the blue.coated guardians bad little
to do.
Fromthev very beginning Gleesona appeared
to be the favorite with one and all. and
nobody doubted his success at that poll at
least.
The other part of the ticket however, was
very doubtful TO the last.

No violence. no disorder attended the

this is one OF the most criminal and ne elected
parts of the city.
There was some confusion because of the
crudity of the voting system. but sergt.
Smith and squad had no other duty TO
perform than to maintain a passage along
the pavement and in the street.
The vicinity OF the polling place was
blocked with voters and spectators. The
windows and housetops in the neighbor-
hood were filled with women and children.
Some charges of repeating were made.
but it seemed impossible to arouse the hum
dreds of voters TO anything approaching
fighting wrath.
Let us show the people that we can vote

and ii would have the desired effect.

were located at the corner of Twelfth and

blocked the streets and sidewalk all the
afternoon. The votes were deposited in
a Times bond bill ballot box" and the
voting booth consisted OF the window OF a
barebr shop.
The Gleeson element seemed to be in
the ascendant all day in this section, and his
heelers worked hard for his election. Ruddy

dence and greeted every possible voter
with outstretched hand and a salutation
that ran something like this:

A mysterious looking cab backed up
against the wooden fence that surrounds
the new city postorfice and, was imme-
diately surrounded by tho colored voters.
The morning times., 1896-01-29

One young colored man somewhat under
the Influence of liquor, shouted: Come
a runnin', niggers, and git your dollar fur a
vote" which increased the crowd around
the cab at once.
About $50 ANDY" Gleeson drove up in a
buggy and was pounced upon by the crowd.
He had n short conference with his lieu
tenants and handed them a large bunch or
ballots. The crowd detained him, how
ever, until he stood up on the seat and tossing
a roll OF bills to friend in the crowd,
shouted: Everybody go treat themselves
on me-" The crowd gave a cheer and
broke for the nearest saloon while Gleeson
waved his hat and drove on. There was no
disorder about the polls and no arrests
were reported at police sta tion No. 1.

In the Eleventh district the polling
place was in a church, and there was no
greater confusion than at religious serv-
ice. The people blockaded the street
and discussed seriously the relative merits
of the candidates. There was neither
drunkenness nor disorder.
Old men, ragged and full of the signs
of want, would fall in line, cast their
ballot, drop out. and watch the line OF
voters file by. Young men, some well
dressed and many not. slipped in tne pro-
cession.
Rarely was there an evidence Of wealth
or comfort. but they were the people,
the same people, who must obey iaws
without having a voice in the making Of
those laws.
Sergt. Barry and a squad of police were
there. but they had no need to raise
hand or to draw u club.

The judge returned to the ballotiDg hall

it looked as If there might be some lively
arguments before the closing time came,
but the formidable appearance OF quar-
tet of officers acted as a restraining in

and peace reigned supreme.
A large number desired to vote for
Carson and Gleeson. although Saunders

the order of the day.
