ELECTION DAY. 6:31 A, M. » 4:56 P, M. POLLS OPEN AT = = * POLLS CLOSEAT- = = THE NEW STATE CONSTITUTION, THE OFFICERS TO BE ELECTED QUALIFICATIONS OF VOTERS. DUTIES OF INSPECTORS OF ELECTION How the Blection Returns are to Be Lransmitted. THE POLICE REGULATIONS. Polling Places in New York and Brooklyn. Although the election whicn will engage the at- tention of the citizens of the State of New York to- day, “from the rising of the sun until the gong down thereof,” promises to be dull in comparison with that of the previous year, when te whole nation ‘Was interested and important principles were at stake, the jarring clements of the democracy in this city, the secret intrigues of cliques and parties, and the struggle of the workingmen to obtain place and power for their better protection, will undoubtedly create considerable excitement, ‘The leaders of the great democratic party, who rule this city aud direct the legisiation of the State, are fuily alive to the importance of rolling up sucha majority in Manhattan as will outweigh the rural Vote, the possession of the State offices being a sine gua non in view of the coming war for the Presi- dentig] succession in 1872, Although, therefore, the ContEst may not be so bitter asthe last, ttis certain tobe exciting, The struggle for a majority in the next Legislature will be severe; but there can hardiy be any doubt that Tammany will succeed in electing her five Senators from this city, and nearly all her candidates for Assembly. ‘There will be a scram- ble for the county offices, but Tammany will véty lixely succeed in electing ali except her candidate for Coroner. The weorkingmen’s candi date, Nelson W. Young, will probably gecure this prize, Av amendment to the State constitution will algo be voted on, and ciectors will ave an oppor- tunity of determining by their votes to-day whether the judiciary article shall be submitted to the peopie or not.
