VIII DG the GUILTY. IDintfAAlNtN-
man.
Democrats were out in force throughout
the Seventh Ware yesterday, but the prin.
cipal fight was in the eleventh district
Excitement ran high from the time tht
polls opened until the gong In Engine
Company No. rs house opposite the polling
place, announced the hour for closing. =
total of 400 ballots were cast, and 331 OF
these were Democratic.
The most bitter fight IN the district wa'
led by Thomos J.. Rowe. former Markel
Clerk. who was prevented from again Sc
curing the position by Alderman Wright:
opposition. Rowe placed John j. Brady
and Timothy F. Foyle on the ticket as
State delegates. Opposed to them were
Peter j. Cunningham and Andrew Nc
CURE. Rowe's men ~triumphed by a vote
of 1879 to 145.
The battle reminded the voters of an old
time struggle for supremacy in days gone
by. Policemen Jeremias and Ulrich. OF The
Firth Precinct, and COnstables Thomas and
Reeves, of the Sherilf's office, remained al
the polls. and had their hands full settling
disputes.
Ont arrest was made for illegal voting.
and the prisoner, who swore in his vote,
said he was James Williams. of 1888 War
rem street. The address given is a res
taurant just west of the residence of MIR.
Cunningham. and he protested and caused
Williams's arrest. Jermias and Thomas
took him 10 the restaurant and the pro-
prietor said he never saw the man before.
When the prisoner was at the patrol box
he was addressed as Shepard by a
friend who gave him a chew of tobacco.
The prisoner was paroled today by Judge
Herr In the Second Precinct Police Court
because no complainant was on hand and
the case was set down for tomorrow.
Shortly after the arrest, which was made
about I O'clock, Peter Cusack, a bartender
in a downtown saloon, who lives at 303
New street, fell on the pavement In an
epileptic AT and received a deep scalp
wound. He was taken to the City Hospital
and after his wounds were dressed he went
home.
Besides the contest for State delegate
there was a double set OF delegates for
both the county and city conventions. In
the former John ]. Sheridan, Michael Durr,
William c. Cavanagh and William Graham
triumphed over Michae Clark, Patrick J..
Latin, John c. Manning and John A.
Henretty, while the victors for the city
were John Gray, William F.
Kern. Edward j.. McBarron and James
Morgan.
Their opponents, who were pledged to
Thomas f. Ho~lzinger for Board OF Works
were Dennis Kelley, Bernard F.. Reilly,
Martin B.. Healey and John F. Dinon.
While Cornelius Fitzpatrick. jr.. found
4 number of supporters in the district in
the fight against Alderman John F. Sin
mott, the latter had little trouble in
securing the majority. The same might
be said of John J. McGovern. who bested
Frank Smith in the fight for member of
the County Committee.
Thomas F. McCabe was an easy winner
n the district for School Commissioned
over School COMMISSIONS DR.. Herman A.
Slatzmayer, who is up for denomination.
Although it took the election officers
until 2lO o'clock this morning TO count
The Democratic ballots, several hundred
surrounded the dilapidated struc-
.ure where the polls were located and
ebeered both the victors and their victims
the result was announced.
I'VE are all Democrats" shouted one
II the party, IAN / propose three cheers
or both sides"
That it was given would be putting 1t
mildly, for the crowd adjourned to Brady's
place. a short distance from the polls, and
;ang "There'u be a hot time" 1t GER
ainly was.
Early in the evening Brady and Cunning
locked horns, but no blood was shed

rhe two factions swarmed into the polling
)lace throughout the day and peddled their
respective tickets, and at nightfall things
Jpgan to look serious and the police and
authorities ordered everyone but
.he challenger out.
Occasionally a voter from another part
of the ward strolled in to vote. but some
present appeared to know who was who
and put a damper on attempts to repeat.
Mr.. Cunningham worked like a beaver,
practically ~single-handed, against Rowe's
lrray of talent, and Pete" found the odds
90 much. He was rather excited toward
he close. and on one occasion bathed his
read in a water trough for horses.
In the Twelfth Ward Patrick j. Dolan
was victorious over Michael A. Doyle for
the nomination for Alderman. There was
considerable rivalry and a good vote was
polled.
In the Fourteenth Ward John A. Spiel
mann opposed the organization candidate,
Anthony G. Kroehl, jr. In this case, too,
the organization man carried away the
p%rize-the Aldermanic nomination.
III the Fifteenth Ward Edward ]. Quig-
ley had a hot fight on with Michael a.
Castellano for the Council nomination. a
strong Italian vote favored CastellanO, but
Quigley emerged from the fray victor.
In the new Sixteenth Ward there were
four candidates for the two new seats in
long term. and j. Edward Smith, for the
ganizatihn. John T. Donovan End Walter
Regulars won this contest.
