November 7, the lay so long looked forward to, dawned \t last, and was a8 smiling and pleasant as the ladies who did their first elect.'oneering work on this date. The varied interests at stake, the exciting issuc d the many ticketa called an uniwual num- ber of workers into the fiela’, and by the time the polls wore ¢ pened, 8 o'clock, there was a crowd at each polling place, such as is not always to be seen even at the close of a bitter election day and from that time on there waa work done on all sides for everything, from anti- monopoly to woman sufirage and the bounty law. Hacks and var- | o riages were kept busy all day and every effort made to poll a heavy vote early in the day, For mome reason, however, as will be seen farther on the vote up. to last accounts is very light and should the voters turn out in full force in the evening a grest many are destined to be ‘‘left.” A prominent feature of the day was the display made at the various voting places by the advocates of the suffrage amend- ment. But one ward was negleated in this respect and that was THE FIRST, In this ward the election passed off very quietly. Up to nocn 248 bal- lots had been cast out of about 600 in the ward. This was a greator proportion than in other wards, ‘There was quite a crowd about Tur. ner’s hall, where the polls were lo- cated, but no drunken men were to be seen and no ill will wes manifested by sny of the workers, There was one or two gentlemen laboring for the suffrage amendment but not with great success. It was the quiotest place in town when THE BkE reporter called there. ! were roinforced, and lining both sides of the passageway leading to the pol's in the sherifi's cffice, tackled every one who came up, and electioneered in reguiar old fashioned style, FIFTH WARD The polls in this ward were largely attended from the hour of opening, bat up to noon the vote was remark. ably light. The ladies had sccured their coffes and lunch rocm opposite the polling place on Sizteenth street A committes, however, of the '‘euf- fragiats” was constantly in attendancn close by the balloting window, and peddled tickets with true politicians’ energy. This waa tho first tistance of the kind our reporter encountered. The lunch tables in this ward were unususlly inviting Jand patronized quite freely by friends and enemies of the cause. All peemed enthusiastio in their novel political work, and exacted promises for support from the hungry ones they supplied with a tact truly masculine, Nothing of unusual interest oceurred in the Fifth to mar the serenity of the s urroundings, although talk wa plentiful jand decidedly cheap. Fre- quently during the morning ladies, who did not agree with the suffrage ve low water mark at| A Bioodless Hattle Between Contlict- | movement of their more favored friends, would stop as they passed along the street and gaze with wonder at the new deal in politics, and evi- dently they did not envy the pnbliulti in which the femalo politicians ha placed themselves. General Estabrook loomed up most conspicuously, and was cocked and primed to meet any argu- ments that the opponents of woman's suffrage might offer. Like the other wards the anti-monopoly ticket was in the van and the indications pointed to a decided victory when the count is made to-night, The ladies in charge of the female franchire cause and the accompanying ocoffee, cakes and sandwitches in the morning were, Mesdamee, G. A. McCoy, M. E. Sim- mons, Olark Woodman, John Wilbur, . D. Estabrook, A. J, Simpson, Charchill Parker, George Hume, L- G Charlton, 8t. A. D. Balcombe, John Scholler, Mary E. Bittinger, A, T. Large, Dr. Arnold, C. Ogborn, A. B. Soydel, E. P, Davis and Madame Charlton Eiholm; the Misses Julia H, Cannon aud Olivia H. Cossley. There were some others whose names our reporter was unable to obtain and the asaurance was givern him that in the afternoon the numbsr was to be trebled. SIXTH WARD, The engine house of Mo. 1 com- pany, the polling place in this ward, was surrounded by a large crowd all NOBODY KNOWS. The City and County Election Boards Still Counting. The Retarns Impoesible to Get Until To=Morrow. The elections ciosed last night as they had bezun, without any particu- lar exeftement, and up to the hour of golng to press there was a very mea- gre report of the vote in the city and county precincis, The police had a qulet time, only two or throe plain drunks being ar- rested and it wes the general remark that so quiet an election day had never before been passed in Gmaha. Last evening the domocrats, by invitation of mine host Kitchen, adjourned from their headquarters in the old Herald office to the office of the Pax ton hotel, where the returns wore road as fast as they came in by Hon, O. R. Redick, from the grand staircase of the hotel, The work of canvassing the vote about the city was very slow, and the information to be obtained of the most incomplete and unsatisfactory nature. In some of the wards the boards were wholly incompe- tent, in others indifferent and it would be impossible to give a well grounded idea of the result until the judges and clerks have progressed fur- ther with their work. At two o'clock a. m. a visit was made to the First ward polls, where on.y the straight tickets had been counted. The result showed 165 dem- ocrat, 99 republican, 656 anti monop- oly, and 35 labor union. The woman suffrage amendment was defeated by a large majority. At midnight the board in the second ward had counted through to lieuten- ant governor, with the follewing re sult: For Governor—Ingersoll 199, Mor, ton 35, Dawes 245, For Lieutenant Governor—Rey- nolds 202, Agee 245, Wamer 331, In the Third ward there were cast the morning, but the vote vpolled was very light in comparison wit b the reg- istration. The ladies here w ero out 1n force. They mingled freely with the politicians and advocated thoir cause like veteran attendants at t.2e polls, A tent had been erected west of the houee before which was a well stocked table for the accomodation of the lunch fiende. It was well patronized. Those in charge were Mesdames E, V. Burwey, J. W. Ganpett, T. J. fitaley, THE SECOND, In the second ward there was a big- ger crowd present, and a throng of vehicles for transporting the working- men from and to their placea of busi- the fight being betwween the anti- monopoly and democratic tickets. Only 230 votes out of probably 1,100 in the ward had been cast at 12:30. As a great many were kept from registering here, it looked probable that if there wasa rush in the evening a lively time would be seen and trouble experi- enced. About a dozen ladies were at work - eating a hunk of bologna and sondwiches--and they reported that they had received the most consider- ate treatment from the voters down thero, and had not a single case of rudeness to complain of, They did not set up the coffee and hcold meats furnished elsewhore, but one lady assumed the right to make affidavits for non-registered electors, and the reporter saw her swear one man fn, The republican leaders here were sacrificing everything for the el- ection of Fred, Gray, and the ‘‘bar'l” knocked in to carry him THE THIRD, In the Third ward the voting wae done at No. 2 engine house, and the largest attendance of any precinct in the city was there, the attraction pos sibly being the number of good look- ing ladies, who at early hour pitched their tent alongside the polls, spread sorved up hot coffee from the word go. The table was covered with bouquets and draped with the motto, ‘‘ Bquality Before e Law, " Awong thoae had their headquarters here were Mi Fanuie Arnold, Miss Walte Mrs, Keith and Miss Carter, with Mrs, Carlton as chairman, Mrs, D, C. Brooks had genersl superinten- denca of this out-post, aud about noon cautioned thewm to beware of it. The ladies wero, as elcewhere, treated respectfully, and the order about the polls was first olass up to the hour of writing, when about 800 votes had beon cast, Iv is noteworthy that not a colored 1| cclosed lady's p have carri in the third 168Dy s ury ore , (8traight. 1t may be noted right here .| this ticket are looking very of belng the cause of their defeat, for it is & general opinion that it is a total defeat, THE FOURTH In the Fourth ward an immense t|erowd gathered at an early hour, and being polled at 2 o'ciock, Here the suffragists had the court yard filled with little tables decorated in the usual 1:.{10, and above them was the atars and stripes motto above inam ore, Edison, Bacchus, McCarty, T. 0. Bruner, J. F. Staley, C. C. Hourel, 8. B, Grant, E.C, Brown, M. Howens, 8. C. Shauk, A. W. Phelps, M. F. Shino, W. W. Wallace, . F. Phillips, M. C. Jones, O. P. Straight, O.L. Thomss, L. T. Penny, A. D Misses Charlotte Spalding, Ida Penny, Grant, and M Allen, All were well satistied with the support they were recoiving at the polls, and promised a larger atiendance of well known friends of the cause in the afternoon. Miss M. Allen was par ticularly active in securing votes. She remarked to a reporter that the very weather had lent its favor to the suffrage cause, and muccess was sure to attend the ladies’ efforts, It was rather fortunste that one of those old democratic election days, which so often occur in November, did not greet the ladies on their trial trip in the political car, and it is fair to pre- sume that the beautiful day had a great deal to do with the large at- tendance of ladica at the polls, It was noticeable that several ladies had procured carriages after tho siyle of their political “lords and musters” and visited the diffsrent polls. Several calls were thus made in the Sixth ward, Ali the United States sena- torial candidates happened to meet at the Sixth at the same time this morn- ing and of oourse received due atten- tion from the sistors, At 1 o'clock only 253 votes were polled in this ward, which is scarcely a fifth of the registration, Congiderable peddling of tickets was indulged in by the ladies in this ward, and, in fact, from mid-day ped- dling becamo general throughout the city, Eurly in the aftetnoon Miss Phoebe Couzins addressed the voters from a carriuge, creating some little excite- ment, She did the same in the Fifth aod other wards. Her remarks were very pointed ageinst Mr, G, M Hitcheock, and the lady injured her cause considerably by her uncalied for attack, especially at the polling places, WANTED.--A first-class press- feeder at this office.

A Young Girl Lured Away From Home Turns Up All Right. Between 6 and 7 o'clock last even- ing & young gitl, 14 yoars of age, the daughter of Mr, Tommy Evans, of the U. P. oar shops, mysterionsly disap- peared trom her home, The was a girl who seldom went anywhere with- out asking permission ¢f her mother, and she had been gone for over an hour before her absence was noticed, All inquiry elicited no satisfactory nolution to her whereabouts, and eo the police were put upon the track and gave certain information which might lead to her discovery. Nothing was heard of her until she sent through by 650 majority, and the amendment badly defeated.
