TIE ELEcTIoN.-There was not the
general hustle and vim attending the
election today y hich usually character
ize spring contests, for obvious reasons
althou b the friends oil the rival canoi-
dates for City Sergeant and those favor
inc mr. opposing the further bonding OF
the citv were firm in their convictions
ard impregnable 10 argument. There
was a pronounced vest-pocktt vote
which is at present difficult 10 divine.
The element opposing the bond Issue
was at a disadvantage from the fact
that they had no organization, while
those favoring the measure were united
and using campaign tactics. But few
carriages were being utilized and the
supply of 'exclteuts" was limited in
the face OF an active demand. The bar
rooms were supposed to be closed, and
many of the usual Accomplishments OF
an election were wanting. II was by
no means harvest to certain expect
ant individuals. The market was glut'
ted st an early hour with class who,
for one,reason or another, never know
exactly which way to vote until late In
the day when button-holing gives way
to incer tlves. There was some ANNA.
ton on the streets las. night, the
champions aud enemies OF the purposed
bond issue having locked horns at
different places. Arguments pro and
con were iudu ged 10, but they pro-
duced no apparent frietions. The polls
we're opened in the different wards at
sunrise this morning and the depositing
of votes started quietly and hes con-
tinued so. The number of ballots cast
up to fourIo'clock was 1144, ss follows:
