The day was a lovoly one, and a largo vote was polled, though not so great as that cast ab tho. eloction last fall. Qencrally spoaking, it was conducted snn vory orderly manner, Thera were, how- evor, somo instances of (awloseness, noticeably in the Bixteenth Ward, where, in one precinot, balf-s-dozen fights oceurred during the aftere noon, Thore waa much less fraudulont votiog than usual. In tho Tenth Ward (tho old Eleventh), Aldorman Whito was re-clected by ihe votes of the inmatos of tho Bethol Homo, for which, it 18 alloged, le paid a round prico. In the Eighteonth Ward, the Corcoran gang did some repoating, and shoved fn a fow frandulent votes, but thoy worked very quiotly, and were much less blatant and offonsive than on formeor gceaslons, The Republican city ticket, with the exception of ono candidato Lias boon elected by a large majority. e tailod on account of his personal unpopularity, His successful opponent isan old residont, and has long been todentified with the mercantile and manufacturing intorests of tho city. In the wattor of choosivg Aldormen, tho Ropublicans have been eminently successful. Fow of tho old members of the Council Liave beon re-eleotad.

TIHS YIUST WARD, ‘The general expression of oplnion aboub the eolection yeatorday was, as far as tho First Ward was concorned, summed up in tho remark, * This is a bad day for the Irieh,” There waa in this no element of contempt for, or feel- ing sgainst, a raco or pation, but simply a sum- ming up of tho idea that the splendid wosther would draw out all the better class of voters, and give them a chance 25 against the bummera, The feature of the day was its quiet and frec- dom from trouble in all the precincts, In the 'Firat District, the polling-vlace was stuck away dowa in a corner, out of reach of the voter nuloss he.looked after it with groat caro, It was on Central avenue, noar tho Contral De- pot, and conveojent to the Maasasoit House. The depositing of ballots wont on very quiotly all day, sand nothing liko a scono occurred until about 2 o'clock, when C. J, Bragg, an employe of Hibbard & 8poucer, atlempted to vota and was challonged. Aftorhisbollothadhoon refused, Mr. Bragg proceedad to. get a proper afidavit, and went with it to the polla agaln. On coming near tho voting-place Lie was roughly ueed by & gaug of roughs and hustlod about mircellaneously, the result befng that his ballot and adidavic wore token out of bLis baod, ss ho says, by Frank Warron himself, A demand was mado on the police for tho arrest of Warren, but they re- fused to tako bim in charge. James W. Nye, one of tho ballot-box guaras, wout after a war- rant, but was unsuccossful in finding Justice Summerfleld. DBragg himeolf then wont after s warrant, sud found Justico Wallaco, who was williug to issuo o warraut, but, had uo Consta- blo to merve it. Dragg thon wont to head- quartors and asked Supt. Hickey whether tho ofiicers shiould not have arrostod Warren. ‘The reply was that thoy should have dons so if they had soon tho act committed, bug not other- wlso without s warrant, During the convorsae ton with Hickoy, Bragg says that Capt. Buckley sawe in, and, hearing the iucldent, madoe ail baste down to tho First District polls to warn Warren. Dragg, finding that ho waa lkely to get no good from Hickey, wont back toward tho polls, and was fortunate enough to moot Justico Wallaco again, and this thne with a Coanatsble in company, A warrant was at ouce tssucd aud placed {n” tho hands of the Conetable, who wont with Bragg aud arrested Warcen, reach- ing bim just about the time that Capt. Buckloy did, Waiten was taken boforo Juutico Wallace and hold in Lail to appear for trial Thuradsy aftornoon at 2 o'clock. With this exception the polla wora very quiot indoed. lu this caso it was Plun the police did not want to soa what way going on. The Bscond Distriot ynting-plsce was 10 a sigu-shop undor the Central Hotel, and was the acens of uo disturbanoe of soy kind. The only objuct of more than usual note was Loog John, who scted as ticket-peddier and geueral reciplent of chail all day long, oversthiug boing, howaver, given and taken good-bumoredly. + The Third District polling-place was & barbor- sbop on tho cormer of Van uren and Stato @trasta, It wea chiefly notable for the number of colored citizens who atood about and gave ;l'l:lllr opinions and exerolsed the nghts of Iree- ' Afeature of the day at this pluce was the Dredenco of two gentlomen just from Mexico, Who took much interest in viudying the customs of the country, They expressod much surprise At the fact thit both parties mingled together ko freely and exchanged so mucg chiafl without bloodshed, 1t wouldn't be #0 in thewr country, they mald. Toe Fourth District polling-place was on Van uren stroet, near Nhorman, fo s boarding- Louse, There was an absoluta dearth of sxcite- Went and uothing but peace all day long. BECOND WARD, Judged from the reportorial standpoint, the slection 10 this ward passed off fn the most dis- gustingly quiet manoer possible.

Africs, Gormany, France, Poland, Chins, and Norwsy. 'Uhe aboriginal race of North Amorica was roprosonted by two splendid apocimons in & nolghhn:ln(fclgarnou.

In tho Tenth Ward the mctivity was great {bronghout thio day. Iu advauce of the polls bejug opened the result was prodicted—that is, mo far as the election of White was concornod. 1ie had his wagons and cariiages hurrying fu overy direction, and at mavoral [ivery-gtables ho Lad reliefs in waiting. All of his * frionds wora flugh with money, and tho saloons Lo had chartered for tho day were enjoying o large trade, In explanation of this apparsut eii- thusiasm it was givon out that ho had made §40,000 ont of the City Council, and proposed to spend it, }f necessary, to sccure a re-olection. His frionds were, consoquently, almost in- umerable, ands at tho opening of fi:u pallu’ were fonnd in possession af most of the procincts, notably the Second and Third, Every bar-room losfor, every thief, overy pimp, aud evory +ragged, drunkon vaga- bond, appeared to have beeu hired, not only to vota for bim, but to yell thomscives honrue, sud to badger evorvbody who ap] roached tho polls. In fact, tho blooming-nosed, filtby, incbriated and profaus were n unit for Whito, and the Third Prociuct especislly was so bolstorous and throatoning that the fow respectabla citizons waro for a time driven from the polls, and at no time conld they voto witbout Lsing subjected to the grossost insult, Tho polico wore ionctive and In eympathy with the mob, and all attompts mado to prosoave decorum, by the challongers, who were oxceptionably good men, wore in vain, aud thowlhols proceedings wero most outrageous, and c.lcnlmexf!n urouss in an intelligent miod & question a8 lm ‘h& correctuess of the modorn ides of popular suffrago. It h-g boen understood in sdvanco of the polls that Whito had beou COLONIZING 11§ BUMMER FRIENDS for sovoral days at tho Botbol Homo, at the cor- ner of Desplnines apd Lako streots, aud the oyos of tho frionds of tho purity of the ballot- box were turnod in that direction, No omo Kkoew tho exact amount that bo had oxpended on that institation, but ovorybody was satisfiod that be had boen very liboral, and tho sequence proved that they bad not boen mistaken. It was 0ot only discovered that thoso who were inmates of tho establishment had been subeidized, but that at thoir hoad tho mo-called chaplsin—ono Carroli—had beon piaced, who led thow up to tho polls in large numbors, snd when their votos wore challonged he made tho mecossary affidsyita to sesiat them in polluting tho ballot- box, and in electing White. For awbile this reverond gontleman had everything Lis own way, sad when one of his votors waa from any renson wncapacitated to walk, which was not un- usual, he scted as_his political guide with tho name earnestness that ho olaimed to lave pre- viously ministered to his spiritunl wanta, In his Isbors ha oxhibited an enargy which, applied to the church, would elevate him totho peor of Maody, and, continued at tho polls, will make him tho early rival of ths most expert South Town ballot-box manipulator. if s pay ac- ourded with hiszeal, and lis faith with the ap- parent elasticity of his conuclence in swearing in White's nireliogs, bis worldly wealth last oven- ing could only bave boen moasured by his cheek, and bie content by 1018 DRAZER IMPUDENCE and disgraceful ssaociations. Later in the day, hoswover, the tables wore turued upon iy, and 10 such an exteut that ho was dnvon from the polls with his gaug and_forced to call uponthe palice for protection. This moyomout was car- nied to the other extreme, and ho was made to pay dearly for Lia conauct, Quids of tobacco wers hurled at him at timos from all dircctions, and as ho passod through the crowd ho was lib- oraily punched, sod astually spit upon, He withatood such tauata and iosults as fong as he could, occasionally turning upon the mob and stiowing fight, and waa finally forcad to go home and change bis clathing, to botter avoid idontifl- cation §n the disgracetul rabble, About 8 o'clock the Bothel Home man, who by this timo was altornately called Mike Lvana and Boochor by the crowd, again apposred at tho scene, Ho was reiuforced, aud, enjoying the advaningo of having imblbod less freely than most of those smoug whow ho was mov- ing, aud balog ssulsted by the polico, he waa abio to again wield full'power. Many of tho protesting Domocrats, who Lad boen most ar- daut 1n the forenoou, bad beon overcome by an cnthusiasm not begotten through any respect for tho Mayor's prociumation to ualoon-keepors, aud mmm{. Othe:s bad LUPT THE YOLLA IN DISOUST to save their clothing from bowg toro from thow, and e was for a tiwe monarch of all o survoyed, He impioved overy momout, and this timo Lad an assistant by tho pame of Clark, who sout tho votors to him, leaving him to atem tho crowd and see that thoy voted a§ ofton as thoy could, Mis avocation, howevor, soon lost much of ita delights, for his conduct became uuboarable to tho crowd. Mo way poltod from all sidgs with quids of tobacco, stumps of cigars, and at one time with & brick. His trestmont was subsequently yaiied by some oue tossiug tho carcaws of o rat in bis face sev- eral times, aud by another taking his haudker- chiof from lus pocket aud tearing it in shrods auod pispiog the piccea to bis coat-skirta, o boro it all with merked resiguation until about U o'clock, whon tha crowd at tho polls had growa 0 large a8 to be beyoud tlio control of the police, and he went to tho police siation for Lolp. Roturning with » posws of six, ho was aftorwards freo frown molestation, and agaiu #at aboat earning his money with au ioduntry to vo commended, if the ouly object of the election was to roturu White to"tho Couneil. ‘I'io elaction, so far sa the Third Procinct and the Aldermen wad concernad, may be summed up ina fow words t It was carrled by o reokloss outlay of White's money ; by the colouizing of voters ; by REPEATING AND PALSE BWEANING, and by the co-operation of overy bummer and thief in tho ward iu White's intercat, who doupt- loss knew thoir friendd, It was tho most dis~ gracoful proceediug which Liaw ever obaractor- 1zed that woction, and Wiite hes pald doarly for at. The more Imporeant incidontaof thae day,asido frow the nuwerous drunken rows, the latter botng confined to tho Bocoud and Third Pre- cincts, woro s follows: Tu tho forenoon ono of tho Bethol Homes gang was arrested for ropoat ing, He had sworn iu his vote, which was No. 91, snd hiad voted, giviug hia rosidence as No. 10 Taxo streat and uls nawo ws Jamos Forrest, Ho was taken to the statiou ou attemipting to geoond Lino, and gave bis namu thore as Itine,” and hita residence at tho Bethol Home. s noxt noticeable wcidout wus the attompt of about forty persons, claiming to be boardimug at No. 18 Lake ereet, to vate for Whito, Vory fow of thoir votes were gotton in, Lowover, owing to tho vigilauce of tho challdbkors and the kuowledge of sowmo persons presont of the promises from which thoy clalmed to bhall. They were thua frightouad from tho Third Pro- cinot, but it they did not vote elsewhors in the ward it was not because thoy did not try, One of the obialleugers, who keeps a bakory not far distaut from the Boethel Homo, said that he recoguizod wany of them as taving cowo into his place of business the evening beforo and wald that thoy were strangera in tho city, and WANTED SOMETIING TO KAT, The crowniog of the roval of White's mob was mado just about the time the polla closod, White's friends, haviog put in all the wark they could for biin, or enough to satisfy themaolvos, soized upon s mau uamed Nesl Molhml, living on Oak strees, dragged him ivto ao alloy in prox- imity so tbe polls, koooked him down, robbed Lim of his watch aud what elso he bad upon hiv perion, ly cut his head, and fiod, Tho wound, was srreated, but White's friends ‘wers allowed to sscape with their booty. ‘The obisllengérs for both pezties 100k & list of ali doubiful volezw ~pll sapecinily such na prage ticed ropeating, and say thoy intond to go bafors tho Grand Jury and wocure thoir indictment.

Their votes were chal- Jouged. Mike would swear to Lis proteges, and hia proteges would swear to their night of vot. ing. Accordingly, Notary W. G. Goodrich, a atlemau peculiorly qualiied for the work, took & desy fu tho aufoiniug plumber-abap and ' com- monced to ewear the would.be voters, They went on nicely and awore that they had lived in thio ward thirty days, but whon i camo to a sosi- donco of ninety days in the county they stoppod; they wouidn't mako such an aftidsvit and enear to it.

They were apolling for a fight, and triod to pick one, eepecialiy the convicied baltot-box stuffer Sexton and the twico-indicted O'Callaghan, who were ballytug nnd loud-mouthed in the extreme. Mike Cor- coran, howover, was cool, aud rather avoived the making of any tronble, and treated every ono with civility, which is eomething out* of O'Callaghan’s wav. He is by pature o braggart and bully, awnd withal n moral coward, whoso set tecth and ugly couu- tenanco show bim to be notluus more nor ices than o ballot-box stulfer aud ward Lummer, though m the ecmploy of the Lourd of Public Woiks, and ono of Colviu's appuintocs, ANOTOPR IRAUD, During tho afternoon dlike Corcoran brought w very dirty looktng bummoer to the polls to vote, Mo was {mmedistely challenged, and Mike, baving him already cocked and primed, told Lim to go and wewear in his vote. Accordingly, Mr, Goodrich was agan brooght into use. Ha wwore the man, who gave bis name ua James Campbell, sud as residing at 243 North Water sirect, and Miko swore posi- tively to his residence aud his baving lived in tho ward any number of vears, and further vol- uateercd the statsment that ho owned proverty in tho ward, which propersy probably conmsted of the real estato upon his porsou, of which thoro wos & remmkably large slhore. A mes- senger, ofter Campbell” had votod, found out that ho did not livo whero he nea sworn to, and that sgomebody hina perjured themeelves, A'Tew minutes later o certain fegal gentleman drew up a certain paper in which wera certain nowmes and which chaiged ceriaiu men with cer- tain crimes, which will bo brought before tao Grand Jury to-day or to-mcrrow, and with tue same will ba accompanicd a fist of wituesaes. AXD YET ANOTHER IAIL. About 6 o'ciocz Jira O'Brien, u dirty, loath- mouthed scslswag, who dispenses bad whiscy at 111 North Water stresi, cspled two dirtier crenturos lhan lumsell, vagrants by nature and bummers by vrofeseion, ing opainst the fesce bawa by tho polla, ‘Thewr uamos aro Josepl Skerriit and Josoph Lody, “ian yo vothod " ayd Jan, “Wo haven't this replicd tho pair. *um wid me an' votlie,” said Jim. ‘oBut I hinven't lived long ouff in the ward,” replied Ledy, ** O uiver ve moind that,” retorted Jim, * [ cio fix that thip, falt] ‘Thou Jim told tho pair what to say. il thim yo lves uth moy bouss, cen't ya¢" Al of wiich facts wers told a TRisuNe roportor by a yonog man who ovorheard the conversation, and who can be produced to prove it. iowever, Skerntt and Ledy wero brought to the polls to vote, and both wera very promptly cuallenged. Jim 0'Lrien, Hank O'Callaghan, and Aike Corcoran woro ‘*conching” tho pair. ‘‘Shware em!" shouted Jim, * Shware cm!” Mr. Goodrich at onco gain assumed Lis post of duty, snd Ledy was brought to the rack to ewoear.

Ho conld nojther read nor write. e swore positively that ho bad resided for tures tnonths 1 the oounty_sud thitty days in the ward, Further. more, ho aflixed his ¥ mark to the afidavit. Ihon Jim O'Brion sigoed the other aflidasits and swore that tho other mau Lad sworn the truth, A gentleman present questionod Lody as to what he bad sworn to. Ledy replied that he bad only been back goven weoks from Now Orloaus, whote ho had becn ovor throo months. Tho pretended resi- dout_ gavo lnmself clearly awav, and Mr. Goodrich for & mowment withheld the afida- vit from Lody, This broughta TORRENT OF ABUGR down npon him from tho creature O'Callaghan, who doufed bus authority to act, and dewanded toneo bis certificate, Mr. Goodrich referrod him to the geal, when O'Callaghan throatenod to do wondrous things in his loud-moutbed way, and that bo would have Afr. Goodrich and other gontlomon indicted. Alr. CGoodrich handed tho bummer s card, w0 that he would know whera to find him. Mr. QGoodrich then eaid that unloss he was troated with civility bo would take uo more atlidavits unleas paid or thew, as tho acty wers eoutirely valuntary on his part, and ho propossd to re- colve courtoous treatment in roturh for savors ronderod.

Quiot was rostored iu avout tweuty inutos, aud thon Joseph Bkerritt was sworn, for whom O'Brion aiso vouched with an oath. ‘This endod all trouble. About 6:45 O'Callaghsu apologized to Mr, Goodrioh, foaring, por- haps, that he bad put his foot iuto it. 1t Is corlainly a foregono conclusion that tho three "“men, Campbell, ~Bker- nits, and Ledy, were {llogal voters, and thore {8 & good prospect that thoy, with O'Brien, will ba indicted Loth for porjury and_illegal voting.

REPGELICAN UEADQUALTERS, The scens at the Lepublicau headquartars, coroer of Clark aud Lake stroets, last night. was quito inapiring. Tho large room was bril- ltantly lighted and literally crammed with our most respecisble citicens. ‘Thero waw much apeculation as to the result of tha election, but every one appesred coutident of a victory for the party, eud that it was but the precursor of what wll follow in November, The returns, which were rather mlow in comiog in st tho early part of the evening, were received in the committee- rvom, sod were theuce commnuicated to the gencral assetnblage. Nothing couid exceed the vothusiasm with which every victory wos greei- od, proving the great interess taken in this slec- tion. Duting the evening some ardent politi- cisn would get o knot of symparhizers together and descant on tho great beoefits which would reeult from a change in tle sdministration cf the city. Theas efforia were gene:ally woll re. ceived, aud stimulatod others to exert them- selvedin a like manver. Tbe utmost order and good humor provailed throughout. The rooms began to thin about 12 o'clock, whao it was ar- cettained that tho whole of the roturna would probably not be received until to-day.
