A Dark and Chilly Day Emblematic of the ResultThe ReturnsThe right Reviewed. I cinct to another during the day. and each professed confidence in his own success. Shorey, however, was known to be far ahead, the only fear of his supporters being that some ballot-box manipulation would be attempted by the Democratic stuffers. Many of the Democrats scratched Fitzgerald in favor of Drake for Assessor.

and there was some slight Scratching on the ticket for Supervisor also. FOURTH WARD. The South Town Republican ticket would have suffered in the Fourth Ward if the strong Aldermanie light between E. O. Seymour, the regular nominee.

and T. C. Clarke, the Independent Republican. This fight was really between the Logan and anti-Logan men in the waru, the former working hard for Clarke; and it was demonstrated early in the day that be was having the best of it. The bau weather kept many away from the polls, but the colored men who favor Logan were out in force, and were working hard for Clarke.

A Democratic judge in the Fourth Precinct told a TRIBUNE reporter that the majority of the Demoorats were voting for Clarke and Drake; and a great many Republicans declared openly that they were voting against Seymour because of his actions at the regular club electing Saturday night, by which he precipitated the row. Late in the afternoon Seymour's stanchest supporters admitted that they thought Clarke had the best of it. Very few votes were east for Fitzgeraid, the reputable Democrats voting for Drake, and the South Town Republican ticket ran well. A fair Tote was polled, and there was no excitement. Firm WARD.

In the Fifth Ward a much lighter vote was polled than was expected, and the serious rows that were predicted failed to materialize. The friends of Hillock made a good fight for him for Alderman, but Aid. Burke had the policemen solid and they did him a great deal of good. Fitzgerald did not appear to be very popular, and he fell a victim to a number of split ticketsi which bore Drake's name along with the rest clf the Democratic town candidates. Dan Horan ran well for Supervisor, as he is well thought of in the ward.

Matters were exceedingly quiet, and but one or two rows occurred. In one or two precincts Hillock's challengers were not given a fair show, but their protests did not do much good. The respectable business-men of the ward were supporting him, but the strikers and machine men did not ghe them much of a chalice. It was conceded late in the afternoon that Aid. Burke, Drake, and Horan had carried the ward.

This was the precinct in which the registration had been so large, and a taste of the fraud which had been planned was given in the arrangement for voting. Through a narrow opening in a pine booth an attache of "The store received all the votes.

At the Dearborn street engine-house and at the river precinct, the voting-place of which was on Franklin street, near everything was quiet. WAITING FOR THE WINK. About 10 o'clock the followers of McDonald began to grow uneasy and to seek for further light than the instructions given them, which were simply to quiet till the word was passed along. There were no Republican Aldermanie tickets to be bad, and some of the ward leaders were carrying out a trade whereby the Whelan interest went to the South Town Republican ticket. It had been hinted that tickets would be out by 10 o'clock with either the name of Mackin or Wickersham on them, or else the word would be given to pitch in and elect Wentworth.

1-p to this time tickets bearing his name could be had at any of the polls, but they were not many. At 10 o'clock it was said that unless something was done Whelan would get the lead in such a way that he could be counted out only with great difficulty. By II o'clock the Wentworth tickets hat die-appeared from the polls, and small bills were up with his declination on them. The scheme soon became known, and about half-past 11 a very excited Mayor appeared at the Franklin street polling-place and ran up against Mike McDonald, who was gazing dreamily across the cloudy sky. An animated dialog at once began.

Harrison demanding in angry tones why Wickersham or some decent candidate was not on the ticket. We nominated Moses Wentworth," protested McDonald mildly. Where was Moses when the light went out?" sneered tne Mayor, and McDonald spit tire as he replied with an oath that Harrison had better go and find out. I won't have it," roared the.Mayor. You must run some one of property and reputation here.

I tell you it will ruin my administration to have this man Whelan in the Council. You yourself" I've got as much money as you have and my property interests are as big as yours," replied McDonald. You wouldn't have a gentleman like Mackin, and now you can take what you've got." The talk in this strain was kept up back and forth for eve or six minutes, the Mayor at last striding Off towards Madison street. BILLY AND MIKE. All this time "The Mocking Bird" had been wawhing the scene from a hack.

When Harrison disappeared he alighted, and going up to McDonald offered his band. It was taken in friendly greeting by the proprietor of "The Store," while the constituents of both these exponents of Democrats looked on admiringly. After this everything went smoothly. Mr. Mackin rode around in his private carriage telling the boys how the land lay.

Several amateur poliUcians and tremblers, who claimed to be managing "The Mocking Bird's" canvass, also rode about in hacks. Mr. McDonald staid at the Franklin street polling-place and gave the voting his personal attention. Harrison was not seen again. While the machine thus gave its sanction to the candidacy of Whelan it made no special effort to stir up interest, and the voting continued light at most of the polling-places.

In the afternoon an attempt was made to save the South Town ticket, and several hundred fraudulent votes were sworn in to this end. upon the "heeler who introduced Mr. Hayes to rewrite the signature for him. Mr. Haves must have been in training to write his name for at least three hours, but at big age the achievement was almost impossible.

Another peculiarity about a majority of the voters was the deplorable state of their garments, and their unshaven, unsoaped, and unkempt appearance. Of course clothes do not make a voter any more than they do a man, but what struck an onlooker on the sidewalk as passing stranre was the uniformity of the appearance tbe voters he refers to presented. Hard-working men would have clothes that bore tbe signs of hard work, but their clothes would scarcely be all alike as regards a scarcity of buttons and a suocrabundance of rents and beer-stains. Most of mese peculiar-looking voters gave their address as notorious lodging-houses on West Madison and Desplaines streets, and it may be that the congruities of their attire had an occult connection with the similarity of their anodes. Another peculiarity observable was the way le which the oath on affidavit was taken.

Not one of them took off his hat until it was eitner snatched off his head or he was sharply asked to take it off himself by the notary. Scarcely any took the trouble of listen-lug to the formula as it was gabbled oser by the notary, but turned around and looked grinning at their pals" all the time. They had not even time to repeat, parrot-wise, the "So help me God before they were hustled off by heelers to make room for fresh arrivals. In the 'course of an hour or so the notary ceased to attempt to invest the oath-taking with any dignity whatsoever. Mr.

Flaherty, a stout, middle-srzed man, who wore a gilt collar-button instead of a necktie, was, in conjunction with another person known to fame in the Ninth Ward as "Slippery Tom," the most indefatigable bunter-up of queer voters to support the Democratic ticket. No sooner would some cold and miserableloOking man, with seedy coat buttoned close up to the neck, saunter across the street. to dispirited even to take the pains to avoid exceptionally large mud heaps, than Flaherty or "Slippery Tom" had him grabbed by the neck and hurried on his way to the affidavit-stands. Here, for instance, comes one niaa about 45 years of am Ills hands are thrust deep in his pants-pockets, his clothes, front the shocking bad hat to the lamentable boots, betoken the last stage of loaferdom; his files Is bloated, dirty, and flushed with the Mesh that rum alone produces, and what of his light gray eyes is not glazed and watery is bloodshot. Flaherty espies him.

Then with the affidavit in his hand the voter is led or rather pushed to the window, NN here he bandit in the paper, and does not say a word on own behalf, because all the talking is done tor him by the heelers leaning- over the rail arid watching the tickets in the hands of the voters as they march up. It was about o'clock in the morning when a number of Hill's tieket-peddlers put in an appearance, but when they saw the strong Demo- cratic current that was running they retired. As John McAllen said, with a particularly good-humored smile, They got a hint to quit; so they ticket straight.

oquutt'lldA lnazet noututithasermofvoctoeldore(thi evobtzsnocturraniedic question of locality had much to do with the voting. In some precincts Glimeister, the Independent candidate, cut into Mike Ryan's vote materially, and at others his support came mainly from Daniel Ryan, the Republican nominee. The machine was in full operation for Nike Ryan, and it was generally thought be would win the day, although much of the bitterness engendered by the Democratic club's attempt to force him on the primaries remained, materially lowering his vote at some of the precincte. There was little drunkenness to be observed, and up to 5 o'clock no one had brought up at the two police stations in the ward something unusual in the Fourteenth. FIFTEENTH WARD-The Ilepublicaus of the Fifteenth Ward did some strong wore for W.

S. Young the Aidermanie candidate. In this they were aided by many disaffected Democrats who bad not recovered from the soreness caused by the disreputable manner In which J. M. Quinn, the Democratic nominee, had imported bummers from the First and Second 'Wards and the Hatch-House gang in order to secure a renomination.

The friends of Marshall, his Democratic opponent at the primary, were yesterday having their revenge and kuifed Quinn, though secretly, on every possible occasion. Odds of two to one were offered shortly belore the polls closed, with no takers, that Young was elected. In his own precinct he was reported far ahead of his ticket, while in Quinn's home precinct the latter barely held his own. The town ticket ran about evenly. A bogus Republican ticket, with the names of Chaee and O'Mally on it, was circulated in the First Precinct.

SIXTEENTH wattle General apathy seemed to prevail among the Republicans of the Sixteenth Ward. A host of Democratic ticket-peddlers was to be found at each polling-place, while but one or two Republicans at meet could be found performing similar duty. Colvin, the Democratic candidate for Alderman, had spent his money freely, and ran ahead. In fact, the Aldennanie situation was all one way. About the only satisfaction to George Knerr, the Republican candidate, was the handsome vote he received in his own precinct.

In the First Precinct a bogus Republican ticket bearing Colvin's name was palmed Mt on many ignorant voters. The town ticket ran evenly except in the Fourth and Fifth Precincts. where J. H. Hartwick, Republieau candidate for Assessor, ran considerably ahead of his ticket.

SEVENTEENTH WARD. John Sweeny, the sole Aidermanic candidate, bad a 'waver," and his friends became quite hilariotte during the day. Many of them were drunk. The town tickets were cut severely in several precincts. One alleged Republican ticket was headed with the name of Charles Harpel tor Collector, and the rest of the Democratic nominees.

Garrity's friends showed up bravely for him. O'Malley, the Democratic candidate for Supervisor, was eeratched slightly in his favor. The voting was unusually The Democratic town officers. except O'Malley, made a good run. The latter was very active in the Fifth Pre-cilia.

A large crowd was assembled there, and the dullness caused by the disagreeable weather was several times Interrupted by lights between a number of belligerent Hibernians who had sworn to annihilate the" Garrity gang." The pollee seemed to enjoy it hugely, and only interfered when the coutest became too earnest. The "oldest inhabitant is authority for the statement that at no election did things run along as smoothly as in the Sixth District. The only ripple of excitement in the other districts was caused by an occasional bout, which was soon stopped by the police. No one was reported seriously injured. EIGHTEENTH WARD.

Here the Democrat polled many votes, especially in the Hatch House district, the stronghold of the Democracy. This notorious polling-place was situated at the corner of Wells and Kinzie streets, and was under the management of Johnnie Crawford. He said that the voting was all one sees-, and that a Republican could not have been found within a mile. In the Second District the colored men came to the front. They all voted for the Republican candidates.

The Sixth. one of the tough districts, was surrounded constantly by a great many citizens who make it a specialty to vote often, early, and late. In the throng Officer Haelig recognized two old faces, and he concluded to run them in. At the station they gave their names as Andrew Lanigan and Tom Gallagher. Capt.

Hathaway was quite indignant when he heard of the officer's action, and removed him from his post. Ile sat at the station all day doing nothing. The gallant Captain failed to explain the cause of this little episode. Very few split tickets were voted and quarrels were few. A poster along the signboards calling upon the voters to cast their ballots for Sam Chase was read with a doubtful ex pression, and everybody wondered who the "Citizens' Committee" was that signed it.

Of the reputable Aldermen reelected the Republicans have Shorey in the Third and Bond in the Eleventh. They will also have Clarke in the Fourth, who ran as an 1 tidependent Republielin, and J.

L. Campbell in the Twelfth. The election of MeN urney to succeed NViiite in the Tenth is a gain to the Iletnoorats which is offset with the defeat of Quinn by 'Young in the Fifteenth. Sweeney is reelected in the Seventeenth. no oppesition having been shown, and the late Aid.

So many elements entered into the South Town tight that it became as much a personal as a political one. The independent candidacy of Aid. Pat Sanders in the Second helped the Republican ticket there, but it lost in the First.

where there was no Aldermanie candidate. Outside ot this the different wards went largely for candidates on personal grounds. The Democrats concentrated on Fitzgerald and made a desperate effort to defeat Drake for Assessor. Though the former was slaughtered everywhere by reputable Democrats he had the benefit of the fraudulent machinery wnich had been organized to force his election by fair means or foul. Recognizing that it was a lifeand-death struggle.

the friends of "Fitz" Silent his money freely and spared nothing to pull him through. Drake and Horan led the ether candidates on the Republican ticket, but this had been anticipated. What he lost in the Third and Fourth Horan gained among his Democratic supporters in the Fifth. Outside the First Drake cut into the Democratic strength pretty evenly. The result appears to elect Drake Assessor and Horan Supervisor by safe majorities, with the Collector and Clerk going to Fenlon and Cleaver, the Democratic candidates.

As usual the Democratic ring ticket carried the North Town, and the smiling face of Assessor Sam Chase will not be missed from the wonted rounds this year. The Republicans tailed to take an interest in the nomination of a strong ticket, which might have swept the field. Consequently the make-up of the ticket did not appeal to the party and proved an element of weakness in the Aldermanic contests. Besides Chase. the North Town Democratic officials will he Collector Niebling, 1Supervisor O'Malley, and Clerk O'Brien.

In the West Town the apathy of the Eleventh and Twelfth Ward Republicans was the main agency in electing the Democratic ticket. The Democrats were divided among themselves and many were bitterly hostile to the disreputable eanaidates forced upon them. The Republicans had a good ticket. and some of the wards made a strong fight for it. But there was no Aidermanie struggle in the Eleventh and Twelfth, few took the trouble to go to the polls for the sake of the town candidates.

and a very small vote was polled to the great advantage of the Democrats. The West Town officers will be Timothy Ryan. Assessor: Thomas Martin. Clerk, and Henry Houston, Supervisor. The Democrats are already beginning to get ready to contest tbe election of Drake, and it is, therefore.

necessary to keep a sharp eye on the ballot boxes from now on, and also to keep a good lookout when making the canvass. The totai vote last spring was 71,549, while yesterday it was only 52,340. Dalton, Don. 2i48 272 307 47 113 11G 127 233 Dogflett, Precinct. Rep.

Mike is mad as blazes," said a follower, "because he didn't run Mackin in spite of Harrison. The Mayor is crazy over the idea of losing Wickersham and getting Billy Whelan his place. It was a bad deal all around, and leaves everybody sore.

just as though he'd cut off his nose to suite his face. It will be a long time before this tight is settled." This view met with general assent. Whelan's election is a sweet morsel to the McDonald crowd because they know it is gall and wormwood to Harrison. At the same time their revenge is a dangerous one, as Whelan may seek to divide the gamblers and disreputable classes and build up an influence antagonistic to "The store." That Harrison and McDonald will carry on their war is as certain as that both overreached themselves in the game they tried to play yesterday. CollectorJoseph M.

Up to 4 oclock iu the afternoon everything passed off quietly in the eixth Ward. It was early seen that a pretty full vote would be cast, though there was not the attendant excitement at any of the polling-places that was anticipated.

The Fifth and Sixth Precincts are the voting places of the majority of the Bohemiane, the latter precinct having the largest registry list of any in the ward, and it was at those two places that most of the interest centered. The friends of Finals and Cullerton were both confident, and their workers did all they coubl to bring out a full vote. In the First, Second, Third, and Fourth Precincts Cullertoa claimed two to one in his favor, but his henchmen acknowledged their fears of the Bohemians and some of the Irish. Shortly after 8 o'clock a row occurred at the Fifth Precinct polls. during which several peopie were knocked down.

but no arrests were made. There were similar occurrences in the First and Second Precincts, but no arrests were made. No disturbances were reported in the other precincts of the ward. The scene about the Fifth and Sixth Precinct; was rather exciting all day long. Early in the afternoon at the latter polls, Ninteenth and May streets, there was a string: of voters reaching clear across the street, and the ticket-peddlers worked hard.

One thing was particularly noticeable, and that was that the majority of the Fucik men bad their tickets prepared before they reached the polls. All went along quietly until about 4 o'clock when two men, somewhat the worse from liquor, got into a fight. The large crowd was at once in an uproar, and the police bad considerable trouble in securing their prisoners. They were marched down Ninteenth street to the patrol-box on Brown street, followed by several hundred men. As the gang passed the Fifth Precinct polling-place a rush was made apparently to rescue the men, but this was not accomplished, the police using their clubs freely.

At this time there were fully 500 men In tie crowd, and while waiting for the patrol-wagon it looked as if there might be further trouble, but none occurred until the men were being driven away in the wagon when a few stones were thrown at the officers. No one was hurt and no arrests were made. SEVENTH WARD. In the Seventh Ward the contest was bloodless, disturbed now and then by an ordinary knockdown. Heavy drafts were made on all the neighboring saloons, and whisky permeated the voting element.

At all the polls Hildreth and Monahanthe two rival candidates for Aldermancirculated among the people all day. lilidreth seemed to be carrying the day, and some of his supporters were willing to wager he would get a majority of the votes at every polling-place In the district. In the precinct where Monahan resides Ifildreth took the lead early in the day and was far in advance all the afternoon. The polling-place for thisthe Third precinctwas at the corner of O'Brien and Halsted streets. The only precinct in which the contest seemed at all even was the First, the which is at the engine-house ea Maxwell street, near Canal.

The crowds were quite large, but Hildreth seemed to have such a complete over that the boys thought it scarcely worth while to fight about It. EIGHTH WARD. The election passed off quietly here. There was no lack of drinking or of drunken bummers, for the saloons were as open as though there was no law to the contrary. In fact, most of the polling places were in or adjoining saloons, and, therefore, the workers did not have to go far to obtain their forty-rod enthusiasm, but for the most part loud talk served to vent the pent up patriotism, thereby reducing the number of cracked heads to a minimum.

In the Ninth Precinct, where there is a strong Bohemian element. two lights occurred, in one which a man had his scalp laid open by a blow from a poker, and in the other one of the participants had a couple of teeth loosened and an eye prepared for an application of raw beef. One of the wounded was a follower of Lawler and the other an adherent of Kasper, so honors were considered easy. Several altercation at the First Precinct polls, located in Tim Ryan's saloon. threatened to develop into general disturbances, but fortunately were nipped in the bud by the police.

NINTH WARD. While to all intents the voters in the Ninth Ward were remarkably passive, the "gang" was doing effective work, and Mike Gaynor repeaters were numerous. Express wagons were at till the precincts, and loads of voters were carted from poll to poll. A crowd of about two dozen rouithe, after having voted, were packed into one of the wagons and taken to the South Side, a here they said they would aid Whelan. Early in the day seine of the Gaynor men obtained possessieei of nearly all of the Republican tickets and destroyed them, so that it was almost Impossible to find one with Hill's name upon it.

Many of those who wiabed to vote for the Republican nominee for Alderman in the Second Preetnet were obliged to scratch the Democratic ticket. Gaynor was scratched considerably in the Third and Fourth Precincts. In nearly all the districts a large number of the otes were sworn in, as there seemed to be no system in the registration, many voters who have lived in the ward for years not being retrietered. The vote generally was pretty lie ht, and the ballots were slow in going in. TENTH WARD.

In the Tenth there was a sharp contest for Aidermanie honors between D. Nelson, tilde-pendent, and M. McNurneyi Democrat. Nelson, though a Republican. failed to get the indorsement of the ward club.

owing to some petty lealousy. Ile made a good showing, but the same apathy among the Republicans as in the Eleventh and Twelfth was manifest at the precincts south of the railroad. where the day passed leisurely along for the judges and ticket-peddlers. Many Democrets were working for Nelson against their party man. The judges admitted the challengers in all the precincts, and the workers were generally satisfied they were being given a fair show.

ELEVENTH WARD. There was little interest in the Eleventh Ward. Aid. Bowl was the only candidate in the field for Alderman, and the town ticket failed to bring the voters out. TWELFTH WARD.

Ex-Aid. Campbell had no opposition in this ward, and consequently no interest was shown in the election. There was no bustle or excitement about the polls, and the vote was the smallest cast for years. The loss of registry-books in one precinct, as described at length elsewhere, caused considerable comment. THIRTEENTH WARD.

The tight between Doggett and Dalton was lively in some quarters of this ward, but there were no rows of any consequence at the polls. Towards evening the Republican candidate be-train to pull ahead in several precincts, and his friends seemed confident of his election. A good majority to the Republican town ticket was assured in this ward early in the day. FOC RTEENTH WARD. The big Fourteenth was miraculously quiet for eleetion-clay.

There was a general good feeling about the polls, and a free-and-easy style of work which resulted In harmony. The Total 1,328 Majority 829 FOURTH WARD. SEVENTEENTH WARD. Sweeney, I Sweene y. Precinct.

The voters of the Ninth Precinct, Twelfth Ward, who came to the polling place at the corner of Rohey and Jackson streets were startled at the was posted on ft wall; NotieeAll voters most get an affidavit before voting, as there is no register of this precinct. Some citizens who had lived in the ward twenty years, and whose names had been regularly on the poll-books at every election, its; quired, "What does this mean? Our names have been on the poll-books tor years, and we have not had to look after the registration, as it has always been attended to in the ease of old residents by the judges." The electors were told that the judges of election were responsible for this condition of affairs. All who voted were compelled to swear in their votes, and a few old residents went away indignant, refusing to be compelled to such a procedure.

A voter who has lived for many years In the precinct said: It has always been customary when making up a list of judges in this precinct to retain at least one of the old judges. This year, however, we have three who have never acted In that capacity, in this precinct at least. They are W. C. Dunning, hardware merchant, No.

805'West Madison, and N. R. Wakefield, a salesman for J. V. Farwell ti; Republicans.

and M. H. Thompson. an employ( of the American Express Company, Democrat. This morning Mr.

Dunning was on hand and went to work. Messrs. Wakefield and Thompson. however, procured as substitutes to act in their places M. J.

Fitch and Dr. Plattenburg respectively. I suppose they were ashamed to stay here all day and face the music, knowing that they had not only neglected their duty. but failed to comply with the requirements of the law. They gave as an excuse that they had to attend to their business, but I think they'll make themselves scarce around here today for the reason which I gave first." Mr.

Dunning said: I returned from a trip to Florida a week ago Friday and learned within a day or two that during nly absence I had been appointed one of the judges of election. When I went to get the registration books a week ago I found I was too late. I went as soon a I learned that no one else had got them. I had not received any official notice of my appointment, and have not yet received any. If I had been at home the matter Would have been attended to.

Perhaps I am somewhat to blame, but I have an excuse which the other judges have not." Mr. Wakefield appeared at the polls about 8 o'clock and was asked what he had to say in regard to the matter. He was likewise willing to shift the responsibility on the shoulders of others. "Mr. Dunning was named trst in the list of judges and I supposed he had attended to the registration.

not knowing ot his absence. When I learned the last day of registration that the books had not been obtained I went to Mr. Dunning and told him, and we tried to get them. I am what has happened, but have no further explanation to offer." Mr. Thompson, the Democratic judge, was not seen; but he had little Inducement to exert himself it his Repnblican assoclatea could afford to neglect the registration, for the precinct is overwhelmingly Republican.

Out of 700 to SOu voters only about ltal are Democrats. The vote during the early part of the day was light, and, ast each old rus dent was compelled to swear In his vote, a good deal of desultory swearing at the judges was indulged In on the outside. It is impossible to excuse and bard to understand the conduct of these judges, and it is equally difficult to think. what the members of the ward club were doing all this time. It was stated in this paper that the registry-books of this precinct had not been taken out in due time, and yet not one of the many Republicans of the ward seems to have taken interest enough in the election to see that the thing was attended to.

As a result several hundred Ito-publicans have been disfranchised. On a close vote such a shameful performance as thill would mean defeat instcad of victory. The whole thing is one of which the judges and clerks and the Republicans of the ward. espe- cially those who Say they "run" things, ought to be most heartily ashamed. 1G9 161 239 139 121 82 81 104 207 339 1S0 416 315 Precine.

THE MACHINE METHOD. THE INGENIOUS INVENTION OF THE DEMOCRATIC MANAGERS FOR SECURING A QUIET VOTE AND A FREE COUNT. The triumph of the Democratic machine in its arrangements for carrying the First Ward was lit the Third Precinct, the polling-place for which was located in front of the South Town offices at Nos. 198 and 200 Dearborn street. The polling-place was originally designated as in the rear of No.

193 South.Clark street. The registration in the precinct was 800, some 200 more than the -votes actually cast a year ago. When the voters got around yesterday morning they found a tine voting-booth with nothing in the shape of windows. A hole in front anout three by six inches was the only aperture. Through this the ballots were passed to a full-bearded individual.

a notorious hanger-on at The Store," who was one of the Democratic judges. A tall man standing on the stone step by stretching his neck could bring his face almost to a level with the aperture. What he might then have seen was cut off from view by the full-bearded individual. The arrangement excited much curious comment during the day and drew out plaudits from the disciples of the Democratic machine.

The morning was still gray with mist, and the streets and sidewalks were one squircbing, spattering lake of mud, when a group of miserably-clad men, mostly with their hands stuck in their trouser pockets, stood loafing around the corners of Clinton and West Washington streets and suddenly raised a cry, "Here comes the Sleeperslots of them! Hooray! hooray for Aid. Gaynor!" Marching down Washington street came a squad of about sixty men, making a bee-line heroically through the terrible mud. If there was any one who faltered in this stupendous march it was some poor fellow whose boots had yielded to the inevitable exegeneies of time and fortune. In front of them with firm step, a flashing eye, and a wide-brimmed, soft-felt plug hat marched a tall and stalwart egure, whose stern. sallow face, dark mustache, set lips, and so forth bespoke high courage and deep determination.

The squad were the famous Sleepers of the Ninth Ward; the leader was the doughty Capt. Daltonthe idol of his friends, the admired of his admirers. The shouts of recognition that assailed the Captain from every side blanched not his cheek nor altered his iron will. Onward he strode with his men until he had brought them in front of the barricade, behind which sat the officers authorized to record the votes of all true American citizens. At the word of command they Idled past the officers, spoke out their names like men, and cast in the soiled end crumpled bits of paper which bore the names of the men to whom they had, in the exercise of their glorious rights as freemen, determined to do honor by their suffrages.

There was but one slight incident which marred for a second the gallant progress of the Sleepers." A poor, weatherbeaten-looking warrior, whose cracked and yawning headgear bore the mark of many a blow, and whose habiliments were an admirable proof of his disregard of cleanliness, halted at the barrier window and said to the recording officers within: Gintlemen, I want that situation." What situation?" asked the surprised officers. Shure an' it's that tome situation that I was promised if I would come down here and get it." How long have you lived in Chicago? came the question from the window. "I arrived here yesterday for the first toime, sor," the weary veteran replied. Pass on; you are not entitled to vote." As the man swept on behind his leading files he heard a sinister voice whisper in his startled ear, Fool! Turning round he beheld at his side Capt. Dalton.

who repeated 4- with an uncontrollable sibilation, Yes, you doggonned fool, you have given yourself away." It was a thrilling and suggestive scene this in the cold gray morn with the thoroughfares mysteriously disguised in cold and pitiless mud. In a few appropriate words Capt. Dalton explained to his men that they had done their duty entirely to his satisfaction. They then dispersed. Among the crowd who witnessed the behavior and the strange uniform of the men there was much speculation about the origin of the famous sleepers." Some said they were heroes who had been incarcerated over night in the dungeons of Desplaines Street Station-House, but released and disciplined that morning by Capt.

Dalton's tremendous exertions. Others, however, and among them Parliamentary Jack," sometimes known as John McAllen, indignantly branded this story as a lie wherever they met It. They affirmed that the sleepers were simply battered public veterans who received for a nominal sum barrack accommodation nightly in Capt. Dalton's premises, and during the day quaffed modest potations in his. West Side saloons.

No matter whence they came. the veterans showed splendidly by their example that they knew a soldier's first duty late learn to obey. At two small tables sat two young men who were acting as notaries and swearing affidavits. Their work was obviouslY overwhelming. Scarcely a minute passed without some man being dragged before them by a heeler" and compelled to make an affidavit.

There were several peculiarities noticeable about most of these affidavit-takers. Although they all swore readily that they were duly-qualified citizens, scarcely one of them knew how to vote without being coached by the heelers." Dozens of them protested to the notaries that they had been a quarter of a century in the country and had voted many times, but when it came to business they knew neither what to do nor bow to sign their names. One old fellowone of the quarter-of-a-cent ry votersdid make an attempt to write his name (which was Hayes), but when Notary Moran saw it, and attempted to thread the labyrinth of its weird spider he called 1 t-z- 4-, W'au 'P SIXTH WARD. 677 57s; 42i! 1.378 44 1 793 i 4.1SiU 451 4114! 1.111k; 1.0171 t4; 1 277 127 1 2,2 ,1 I 2,1121 819 2.726 2,1150 i 9661 4,0411 2 3 4 5 1,372 2.537 1,153 Total 6,8061 eJf 7.2 8.0421 6,2761 51 1.14;1 Precinct 1 2 4 6 6 Fic4k, Culler-tot. ton, D.

In the city yesterday the voting was conducted under difficulties. The day began dark and cloudy with an occasional light shower. Towards noon a ray of light shot through the leaden clouds, which was at first accepted as a signal of fair weather, but it proved the precursor of the heaviest fall of rain of the day, accompanied by bail. Many were, LD doubt, prevented from visiting the polls at this time. Accordingly the Demoopats were gleeful, as it a sort of proverb among politicians that the Republicans, who are supposed to belong to the better elements of society, will not trail through the mud and water to get to the polls, whereas the Democrats gain large accessions from the class who are accustomed to outdoor Lte, and particularly to tramping.

But after all, the nay was more threatening than disagreeable. The afternoon was dark, damp, and dreary, but not sufficiently stormy to prevent tiny one desirous of performing his duty from exerciiiing the right of an American citizen to cast a ballot. FIRST AND SECOND WARD. The fight in the First and Second Wards is described in detail elsewhere. The Second Ward furnished two prisoners for the Harrison Street Station early in the afternoon.

They were Henry Miller and Abrahatn Anderson. The latter wanted to vote in the Fourth Precinct of the Second. but his name gild not appear on the registration-books. Miller, however. who lives in that precinct, made the nevessary affidavit as to Anderson's qualiacations and the vote was cast.

The charge was made later that Anderson was not entitled to a o1e, and be and were both arrested and locked up by the pollee. the former on the eharge or perjury and the latter on thitcharge of illegal voting. They gave ball. Ono of Mike McDonald's capperS was titt at the polls at the Second Precinct of the First Ward, where he practiced some of the sleight-of-hand performances which form FO necessary a part cf the brace game. Mr.

I. E. whisler, a Titiaut.a compositor, went to the polls yesterday with a Republican ticket in his band. which was snatched away from him by 0110 of the thugs who was stationed on the outside. After some words be succeeding in getting it back, and, folding it in the shape ot a pushed it through the window.

Mikes received it, and with the same dexterity that be has displayed la stacking a deck of cards managed to substitute another ticket for it. The movement was so quick that Mr. Whisler did not perceive it, and only knew that his ticket had been changed from the fact that the new one was folded lengthwise. Be at once entered a vigorous protest. and after a little bluff 1 he brace-dealer threw the paper out of the window.

A new ticket was presented, and this time It was placed in the box. 1 5 cz' 1 i M). 737 7R6 7R 7R6 I-F4 SEVENTH WARD. 1 I Mona- Hi leireth, Precinct. Dem.

now HARRISON AND M.DONALD TENTED THEIR FEELINGS IN ELECTING THE FIRST WARD ALDERMEN. The centre of interest in yesterday's contest was the First Ward. Here the most complete arrangements had been made for the election of Joseph Mackin as Alderman, and the knuckling under to Carter Harrison Monday night had Jett the machine badly out of repair. Tbe intention was to have Moses J. Wentworth take Mackin's place, and to let the Mocking-Bird," otherwise Billy Whelan, run as an Independent if be wanted to.

In the soreness of defeat the Mackin-McDonald crowd were determined that Aid. Wickersham, Harrison's lieutenant in the Council, should not be reaected. Wentworth's refusal to run when nominated Monday night was therefore not accepted. Yesterday morning the gang" was demoralized. It had not been decided whether to support Wentworth in earnest or to drop him entirely.

Whelan's candidacy was a bitter dose, it having been shown that be could get together a tougher lot of citizens than The Store." Nevertheless, it presented the Only means of evening up the score with Harrison. For two hours after the polls opened McDonald's henchmen stood around with their hands In their pockets. At the Fourth Precinct, No. 309 Fifth avenue, Mackin's lieutenant, Representative Tom McNally, made an effort to back-cap" the Whelan men, but soon got tired and quit. At the "levee" precinct, on Congress Mocking-Bird" found no opposition.
