Irishman Causes a Stir.

The vote in the Fifth ward came early
yesterday. In all of the six precincts the
vote was two-thlrds In by 3 O'clock. There
was absolutely no excitement around the
voting places. and hardly any one outside
the Republican and Popu.ist men who gave
out the advisory tickets was to be seen.
1t was evident early In the day that a
large vote was to be polled. An Irishman
who had taken TOO much whisky created
about the only excitement in the ward
during the day. He knew that he lived in
the Fifth ward but had no idea what pre-
c!nct he belonged in. He insisted on vot-
ing at the first voting place he happened
ON. and got very indignant when he WAS
compelled 10 go down to another precinct.
In the Sixth ward the voting was quiet
and orderly. At o'clock over one-half
OF those who had registered had cast their
ballots. noticeable feature was the
lack OF knowledge which many displayed
in voting for the different amendments
Some of the voters did not put mark
after any OF them.
Throughout the Seventh ward there was
but little excitement and the earlier hours
Of the day were characterized by a very
light vote. Up TO o'clock p. m. less than
half the registered voters had deposited
their ballots. but in all the precincts the
judges were OF the opinion that full vote
would be cast before closing time. Both
Republicans aud fusionists worked hard
all day getting their supporters TO the
polls. but as far as known there were no
encounters of any kind between the op-
posing forces. There were a few cases
Of wrong registration and some little time
was consumed in swearing them IN, In their
proper precincts.
In the Eighth Ward.
Qu!einess was the remarkable feature in
the Eighth ward. Save for the few deco
rated carriages standing Idly near the poll
Ing booths one might have passed by
without having his curiosity awakened
Now and then a few Pops would loiter
near with confident smile and whisper
TO one another that the opposite ticket
was not in IT."
There were also present few OF the
usual election humbugs," theorizng and
dragging peoples fair names in the mire
when their looks and manners betrayed
that they were not themselves wholly with
out blemsh.
In general everybody was orderly and
none Of the tnany incidents usually attend
ing elections was present.
nr. ]. T.. Crichton took a stroll IN the
vicinity or the First precinct to size up
the situation OF affairs. He had nothing
10 say except what he had already de-
claTed; that Il he were elected he would
stand in favor Of all the things which
benefit the common people. IS ne has done
during the past six years. In the mean
time" he said. patiently await the YER

An air OF Sunday aulstude character .zed
