Much Credit Due supt. stubbs and
the Ohicers of the Law.
There is no fault whatever to be found
with the management of the election. 1t
was in good hands throughout, with ca
pable and careful managers at every box,
and there was no chance for anything ir-
regular on the inside even had there been
a desire or an inclination that way.
About the only irregularities so far as
the election was concerned, however,
were on the outside, and consisted only
in vote-buying. But both sides spit about
even on this, so nobody can say anything.
There were eighteen or twenty repeaIers
discovered, but these were properly DIS
posed of by the superintendent of the cleo
ton, Mr.. w. B. Stubs.
There was the highest commentator on
every side of the management OF the elec-
ton by the superintendent, Mr.. StuObs

but he was kind and courteous and I'M
partial with everyone. TO those VINO mao
business in the court house and around
the polls on the inside, he extended every
courtesy, and to those who had no pusl-
ness there, he politely but firmly issued
instructions that they should be Kept out.
Mr. Stubs will undoubtedly be sought
after another time as a manager of cleo

be determined the Liberal Club people
appeared to have the biggest fund
Negro votes were not the only ones
sold. One party tells of twenty white
men who offered their votes during the
day, with the plant that they had been
out of work for some time and would
like little money. They were paid ii
is said, So each for their ballots Another
party says his side paid 50 and IS for
votes at the start and in some instances
went up to SO, but he said he had learned
that his antagonists had paid So and $40
for votes from the start.
1t is mistake, however. to saw that
all of the negroes sold their votes. The
Liberal Club secured some 400 or 500 of the
negro vote, for which it is said not a
cent was paid. Others, however. were
paid from 81 or 50 to $40, according to
their demands. There was no concealing
the fact also that the Citizens Club was
in the market for all the negro votes 1t
could get. According to its theory of the
election, it needed from 300 to 400 of the
negro votes to win, and it is stated an
effort was made to get them at any COST
all the way up as high as $40.
OF the amount spent during the day, it
is asserted confidently by several of those
who had the management of the funds
that at least $4,000 to 81, 900 of it went to
voters who sold their franchise. This
means a purchase of at least 600 votes.
In many Instances more than $40 was
paid, as in the case Of the strikers or
workers who were given from S25 to $50
apiece. Each side had its full quota of
these, and while they were put there to
work on other voters and bring them up,
practically all either side got out of the
majority of them was one vote.
There were, of course, other expenses
that had to be looked to. There was
plenty of drinkables to be had somewhere;
the general appearance of the hangers
on around the polls showed 1t all too plain
ly. There were carriages and hacks and
all sorts of campaign expenses, which al
together run the amount up to the figure
named. The estimate is based on figures
given by workers for both sides, so it is
probable it is somewhere near the true
state of facts.
No doubt there are adherents of both
factions who would frown upon any such
work on the part of either side, but their
influence does not appear to have counted
for much. If the whole truth were known,
one side might be able to say, 1--WE bought
less votes than did our opponents" but
neither could say by any manipulation
of language that 1--WE paid out no money
for votes"

Porter Savage of the City Exchange
Lost His Head.

Porter Savage of the City Exchange
Lost His Head.
John D. Savage, the colored porter at
the city exchange, was hard at work all
day for the Liberal Club. Johns head is
already in the basket He realized that
this would be the case when he decided to
oppose the administration wing. The city
officials looked very sourly at John, but he
did not seem to mind
81 can't go back on Mr.. McDonough," he
said to a Morning News reporter
Savage has been employed at the city ex-
change for several years He was some
thing of a favorite with the McDonough
administration, but the Citizens Club peo-
pie knew he was a shrewd worker at the
polls and believed that he would work
with them. When Mayor Myers went in
Savage had a close call, but was made a
porter, being reduced from messenger in
the clerk of councils office.
Mayor Myers informed a Morning News
reporter that Savage had gone a little too
far in his partisanship and had already
been dismissed.
In this connection it is worth while stat
ing that York Milledge, a former porter at
the exchange, who was dismissed when
the present administration came in, is the
president of one of the negro good gov
eminent clubs, which did such staunch
work for the Liberal Club. Even the color
ed brother can get in his revenge in poll
ties.

the Result of the Election.
Now will you pay up? 1t is estimated
that from $4,000 to $4,000 will change
hands on the result of yesterdays local

that the Liberal Club bettors have won
everything wagered
There was So, 500 in wagers left at the
store of Mr.. J. B. Fernandez and s., 200 left
at the store Of Mr.. Ed. L. Byck. This was
all put up in cash money, and of course
the shareholders win pay over the amounts
to the winners as soon as the count has
been completed and the result of the cleo
ton definitely and officially determined
There is no doubt that this money will be
called for to-day, or the greater part of it
at least.
Besides this there was some 5000 to s., 900
in smaller bets on the outside. Everybody
appears to have wagered something on the
result from a cigar or drink to 500 or $500
A man would sometimes make two or three
small bets while walking from his resi-
dence down to business. A meeting with a
friend on any corner of opposite political
views almost invariably led to wager of
box of cigars or hat. There will no
doubt be from 300 to 400 new hats on the
street within a day or two which some
body else besides the wearer has paid for

good many bets were made a long
odds. There appeared to be a great deal
of confidence on all sides, and many were
so enthusiastic as to bet on majorites,
and big ones too. There will hardly be
so much wagered on the result of the ma
tional election, unless those who won this
time are so confident in their good luck
as to double their bets. But even then, it is
two to one that they cannot find anyone
who wants to put up money against the
way they call it.
