Two Assemblymen.
Yesterday was the Gay Of all days
i, iris city. ElectiSl day, a..C It
We. as perfect as if made to order.
Ali Of tn voters were on hand and
the ticket boosters were out working
before the sun was high enough to
cast a shadow. The strict party men
were on hand early; their ballots
were made out AMI their vote cast
befclI noon When the l O'Clock bell
tapped nearly half of the votes iii
ih:s city were in and others follow
Ing in close order
wa;..d until thu assh;G.:,mfwvpgw
OF course the sell-out contingent
waited until the last and a scrambel
was made during the last hour, when
the bulk of this class came TO the
polls.
The arrangement of rubber samps
was all right. A voter went in, recei-
we'd his ticket and was handed a rub
Der stamp with a blotter filled with
ink. The act of marking the ballot
was easily done and very few ballots
were destroyed. In the two wards not
more than twenty-five voters asked
for a second ballot and in one or two
cases it was simply a mistake on the
part of the voter. Everybody declar-
es that the rubber stamp is an impro-
vement over the lead pencil and this
is one law that the last Silver Legis-
lature passed that meets the approval
of all parties.
Considering the isues and the ten
sion that men were laboring under.
there was little discord and few rows
were recorded. The saloons remained
closed, and good order prevailed up to
the last moment before the closing
of the voting booths.
In Reno.
During the day word came over
from Reno. 1t was not all peace and
according to reports, raid was made
on both party headquarters. the sa
looms closed and arrests made by the
Wholesale Both sides had the sack
cut wide open and coin flowed through
the streetsIt was simply the men
with the longest sack that carried the
county and the results, according to
the latest bulletins state that the
Id &c
the hottest fight ever pulled off in
Washoe county and both sides are cry
ing treachery, fraud and sack.
There is no doubt but that Ormsby
county had a number OF votes thai
were purchased, but it was not as fla
grant as the county across the line
1t is bad enough to confess that botf
parties have made a money fight IL
certain quarters and in some case:
the purchased votes have turned the
purchaser down and given them tbs
double cross.
When the bell tolled at oclocl
no one or any candidate could figure
where he was or who was elected
Both sides claimed a victory befOr'
dinners were eaten in peace that dlt
not set as well when the hour OF mid
nigth approached. The conservative
voters had little to say, but vote
their ballots and talked of the fin
weather.
A Big Vote.
Considering the registration, tn
vote of yesterday was one of the lal
un11o6 n fhiC Il
Empire precinct there were regis
tered 81 votes and out of this amour
IS cast their ballots. One OF the reg
istered had died and the others tran:
ferred. In this county out of the er
tire registration only % votes wer
lost or failed to come to the poll:
Several had transferred to other couI
ties and one or two were out of tn
State, while two had died. This
a pretty clean vote as far as number
concerned. The close party line
caused the intense feeling and the fo
ces were working on the head OF til
ticket with concerted action, tina
had It been applied to the county ii,
ket. many changes would have take
place Friends were stabbed in IL
back by pretending friends on bot
sloes and enemies were given tn
vote when it was supposed it woul
be otherwise. The head OF the tt
ket shows the work that was indulge
In. while the Republicans have tn
same complaint to register.
During the afternoon a number
enthusiasts Eiade bets and most OF
was on the Sherin's fight. Kinney
known as the greatest. campaigner
nevada. while Daugherty is regarde
as the best hustler. The fight VIZ
warm all day long anu no,n Dartie

shot was taken that the truth can
