r i | ] g Third WEDNESDAY orderly conduct and general good behavior that prevailed at the polls, Ar2:30 o'clock yesterday V. O. Strickler appeared at the Westorn Union telegraph oo with & bunch of telegrams for trani- mission. He counted out and over about 57 in tolls for them. Bystanders who witnessed the transaction conefadcd that, Strickler was notifying the county profiibition committee. men throuckout the state that Omaha was going solid against the amendment, It was also thought that he bad invented stories of fntimidation against probibition voters for the sole purpose of creating prejudice in the rural districts to inteusify the feeling against Omaha. Telegrams were soon after received by Tux Bax from several towns in the state stating that prohibition workers were exhibiting telegrams from thoir co- laborers in Omaha ng tho false report that this city was running to riot and that prohibitionists were beiug mobbed and driven from the polls, The cor- respondents said, however, that this con- temptiblo trick had availed nothing so far as could be pereeived, The truth is that there were trifling dis- turbatces in but three our wards, These were provoked by men peddling tickets who were not residents of the respective wards, and some not. residents of the state, and who persisted in attempts to challenge anti- prohibition voters and in peddiing bogus tickets, Not s single prohibition voter was in the slightest degre {nterfered within voting, and scores of pro- hibitionists worked at the polls throughout the day without hindrance cr molestation. In ono instance, at least, three arrsts of anti-prohibitionists were made, These parties were attempting to prevent a prohibi tionist from working at a volliug place in the Fourth ward. Hon, E. . Ro Bankers’ and ‘Busis was aske Men's last evening for an estimat vote on the prohibitory amendment gave it s his opinion that the majority against the proposition would reach 80,000 votes, RECEIVING THE RETURNS, Thousands Read the Results on The Bee's Stercopticon. Never ‘n the history of Omaha was there greater interest manifested in_election re- turns than the people manifested last night. Never were the arrangements for accomimo- dativg the public in this particular so thor- oughly satisfactory as those which Tnr Brr providod last night, and which were enjoyod by an immense audience of citizens of every poritical persuasion, completely filling the sidewalles and street between the New York Life and Tie Bre buildings. As early as seven o'clock the people began to congregate on the walke in front of the large canvas upon which the desired infor- mation was expected {0 appear s soon as reports from the varfous wards of the ¢ity and from oser tho state and nation shosld begin to arrive. The canvas used was twelve fect square, and stood high enough so that everybody could secwhat was thrown uponit. “The stercoptican work was excel- lont, and every word and figure appeared on the Sheet in lines so plain and clear that thoy could be read almost a The por- traits wero lifelike and_ casily recognized by all who knew tho originals. The series of cartoons clicited round _after round of laugh- ter and applause from tho delighted throug, Thero wero many ladies in the audience and they ssemed to enjoy the occasion s much as the gentlemen, The enterprise of Tir Ber in furnishing the bost means of gaining reliable informa- tion concerning the great battle of ballots was frecly and frequently commended by & thousands who spent the évening in lookinyg ot the canvas. As the majority against pro- hibition kept growing more certain and greator the people became more and more onthusiastic, and toward midnight hundreds and_thousands of citizens who have been anxious for many months, lest the amend. ment should carty and bring financial and commercial ruin to the city and state, went hiomo happy, feeling assured that the blight of prohibition had been safely and perma- nently warded oft by tho mighty voice of a sensible people. A Slight Disturbance, Abfut four o'clock yesterday afternoo there was a slight disturbance at the pollin place of the fifth district in the fourth ward. There was a red-headed prohibitionist there with o handful of tickets, He was a harm less, seedy looking creature, aud his appear- ance would have made votes against the amendment rather than for it,but G. E. Harris, a saloon keeper, and some of his friends thought the free whisky ticket poddler bad better be reli of bls tickets, and they bogan by ing the tickets out of his hand, Omcer Cox, who was stationed there, told Harris and his friends to desist, but they paid no attention, and finalty the officer was obliged to shove them off the sidewalk. Har- ris_then hunted up Special Ofice 0bs and told bim to arrest the prohibitionists, This Jucobs was about to do, when O + Cox stopped him and said: *~ “Gentlemen, that mun is not disturbing anybody, and you shall not be permitted to disturb him,” An alteration ensued between Cox, Harris and Jacobs, in which several prominent gen- tlemen took the part of Ofticer Cox and told bhim to stand fli:{ ground. He was finally obliged to arrest Harris and Jacobs and send them to the police station. The prohibition tioket peddler soon took his departure, as he was persuaded that his prescnce at the polls was not doing his cause any good and might lcad to further trouble. Swearing Unregistered Voters. There was not a tremendous rush of un- registored voters at the city clerk’s office, as had been anticipated. At 10:15 a m. Deputy City Clerk Counsman received & communication fiom Mayor Cushe , ing designating him to act in the place of the city clerk to swear ju unregistered yoters and to perform such other duties pertaining to the office as might bo necessary. Mr. Couns man immediately had the teceipt of the communication — witnessed b, Richard Mullin, John Groves and H. E Dunn in order to make the appointment doubly sure s0 far as its receipt by him was conceriied. E. A, Murpby and B. B. Deoms had been sworn in and were doing duty us clerks to facilitate the work of making out papers. A featuro of the duy was Major Furay and another, entleman bringing in their arms John H. ymons, a colored man forty-four years of age, into tho ofice to have his voting papers made out. The poor man was blind aud par- alyzed, bit willingly underwent the great pain of being carried up court house hill in order that ho might get his voting papers. Another feature of the day, here, was the resence from early to late of J, K, Chambers n the roloof a prohibition spy. Chambers is an abstractor and a man about forty-five years old. He busied himself by sneaking p catching the signatures of those who ap- ric\l for papers, and then noting them down n a little book which he carried for the pur- pose. Election Noues. J.J. Welshans, a prohibitionist, was ar- rested for assault and battery, W. 1. Sherwood, a leading prohibition worker, was run in for disturbing the peace. James Stephenson started on an election- eéring tour with his tally-ho coach, having a large picture of J. E. Boyd on the rear end ond under it the worls: “Our Next Gover- nor.” Heo drove up Sixteenth street without attracting any particular attention, but when he drove up Cuming a young David threw a brick at Jim's Goliath and, like his prototy pe, struck him in the forehead, slightly disfigur- ing the “‘uext governor.” A largo carryall contalning two young women and ten little girls, followed by car- riage containing five women and another containiug four women, circulated around the north end of town about noon, ch of the women carried a large handful of tickets, but most of them kept the tickets carefully concealed. The procession halted at tho district of the Eighth ward, and the children commenced piping @ prohibition song, led by the two young women. As soon @s the sound floated * on the air, the crowd at the polls took a hand and the shouts might have been heard a mile, ‘While the musioc (1) was in full blast one en- . thusiast fired & vouerablo specimen of hen * fruitat the carryall, which was broken by contact with a curtain near the head of the young woman who led the slu‘pu& Tho pro- cessiou then tarned up & neighboring alley a disappeared, —— Idaho's Legisiature.

The Tammany Tribs 8weeps Everything in New York PENNSYLVARIA CLAIMED FOR PATTISON, The Australian System Gives of Voting Satisfaction Wherever it is Tried A Rather Quict Day. General The prevailing coloe of the returns from othier states is democratic. The democrats have gained a few congress- men in each section and will probably control the lower house of the next congress, McKinley has made tremendous headway against the results of the gerrymander and is probably elected. Massachusetts republicans concede the election of young Russell, the democratic candtdate for governor. Pattison, democrat, has probably carried Pennsylvania by a small majori Tammany has made a clean sweep in New York, The southern states are monotonously dem- ocratic, Towa and Kansas are doubtful. Wisconsin shows democratic doubtful results, In New Hampshire the wepublicans have sustained losses and will perhaps lose the legislature. In gaius, with Colorado the democrats have made gains, but the ropublican state ticket and legislature will probably pull through, All other states voted about as usual, In Ilinois. Cuicaao, Nov, 4.—The election in this city today, though hotly contested, passed over very quietly. The day on the whole was cool and clear. The chief interest centered in the contest for the shrievalty between Congressman Lawler, democrat, and James H. Gilbert, republican. Anotber element of interest was the contest for county superin- tendent of schools, Mrs, General Mulligan being the democratic nominee. “The little red school house” was the issue, Mrs. Mulligan isa Catholic and her opponent, Albert G. Lane, a protestant, and the public school question was used for the purpose of turning democratic votes from Mrs., Mulli- gan. A very large vote was cast in this state in no_election for years haveso many members of the richer classes and prominent business men voted as today. The state ticket was fatally scratched here owing to the agitation on the compulsory school uestion and the uncertain strength of tho ticket of **citizens’ or Patriotic Sons of America. . The ticket contained only the names of native-born Americans, being made upof nomineesof the two leading parties, with some prohibitionists where republicans and democrats had both nominated alien-born citizens, sional distri sonal one and the tarift sure lost sight of. & ~Chairman Jones now claims that publicans will probably gain congress- in_the Sixteenth and Eightee: He also claims the state legislature on joint ballot by a majority of 15. The dem- ocratic committee does not concede the de- at of their candidates. Cricaco, Nov, 4.—Of the twenty congres- cts in Illinois the indications at are that Congressmen Adams, Hopkins, Hitt, Henderson, Hill and Payson, republicans, are unquestionably re-clected, as is also probably Rowell, republican, There is not a great deal of doubt of the Post, lflcnbliv:m. in the Tenth £ In the Eleventh Congressman Guests’ election has been stubbornly contest- ed by Cable, democrat, and the result is still in ‘doubt. Wike, Springer, Lane and Williams (dem) are re-clected and the in- dications voint to the re-election of Smith (rop) in the T'wentieth district, and Forman (dem.) in the Eighteenth. The Sixteenth district is still doubtful, but Fithian claims re-election, In Chicago the democrats still deny the election of Taylor in the First and Mason in the Third districts. The demo- crats are claiming the defeat of Caunon (vep) in the Fifteenth district, but the republican state centre! committee still asserts that he is re-elected by 500 majority. CricaGo, Nov, 4 (midnight).—Retvrns on the state ticket are coming ingvery slow. Only cight counties in the state exclusive o. Coolk county have been heard from. These on the vote for state treasurer give Amberg (rep) u net plurality of 2,800 over Wilson (dem). In the same counties two years ago, when the vote was somewhat heavier, Harrison's net plurality over Cleveland was 5,000, Cricaco, Nov, 5.-12:30 m.—Returns from the doubtful senatorial ricts of the state are 80 meager that it is impossible to predict what the political complexion of the next general assembly will be. In several of the hotly contested districts the indica- tions point to the election of the dem- ocratic candidates, but that these gains will continue to such an extent as to give them control of the general assem- biy on joint ballot doos not yet appear upon the meagre returns. A great deal depends upon the legislative ticket of Cook county, and it is hardly probable that the result here will be ascertaiued until some time tomorrow morning. Quixcy, I, Nov, 4.—The vote polled in Adams county today shows a falling off of Tully 25 per cent from the vote of two years ago. The vote was confied to county offi- cers. 1llinos returns will be compared with the presidential voto of 1888, when Harrison's plurality was 22,000, Chairman Jones, of the republican state central comuittee, cluims that all of the republican congressmen in the stete have been re-elected and that in the Eighteenth (Morrison’s) district, Linoley (rep and farmers’ alliance), will be elected over Forman (dem), the présent incumbent. ‘The first result of the election to be known for a cer wis the success of the propo- sition to increase the bucking of the world's fair to §10,500,000, The vote of the city was practically unanimous in favor of adding to the fund already guaranteed $5,000,000 by the issue of city bonds and by means of the south park bonds $500,000 more.

New Yok, Nov. 4.-10 p. m.—Tammany hall has gained & decisive victory all along the line over therepublicans and county dem- ocrats fusion, Grant for mayor 1s not likely to fail below = 22,000 majority over Scott. All the Tammany candidates for the other county offices and judges will have an averago majority of 20,000, The new ballot reform law worked smoothly as a rule throughout the city and the novel conditions of a secret ballot did not have o pronounced effect on the vote of the lower districts, which some political prophots hud anticipated. This was largely due to the energetic of both parties it educat- ing the voters in the intricacies of the law before election, There were few serious misunderstandings.

In Wisconsin MiLwavkeg, Wis., Nov. 4.—When the polls closed at 5:40 this afternoon the most unique and exciting political struggle iu the history of the city came to an end. The feature of the day was the activity of the Catholic and Lutheran clergy in marshalling their forces against the Bennett school law. At the poll- ing Looth at the corner of Greenbush and Mitchell streets, on the South side, almost in the shadow of St. Stanislaus Catholic church, two Polish priests busied themselves in see- ing that each of their countrymen voted, and examined the ballots to make sure that they w asting them against the little school house, Father siest. His church is outside the city, i vn of Lake, and he stated triumphantly to nds that when he left the pr t in which his church is located there had been only one or two re publican votes cast against 100 democrats. In the Second precinct of the Sixth ward Ca- puchin monks appeared, tiventy-three strong, ded by the father gus . As quietly s they ciime they went away, leaving twen- ty-three democratic ballots in'the box. Most of the Lutheran churches held meetings last night, at which demc atic tickets were dis- tributed. At tho booths the Lutherans would not bave anything to do with the ticket ped- dlers, Some of them would take anything that was put into their hands and shove it into their pockets, where it was presumably left. The charactor of all the votes cast is consequently @ mystery. At nearly every polling plice some Luth generally a school ‘er, was ioned to see that their people did not allow themselves o be naded to accept a ticket from re- publican peddlers, The prohibition and labor votes generally went to the republicans. Split tickets of every imaginable kind could be found in most of "the precinets, The low- est estimate of the vote today is 000 and the highest 57,000, ‘Cne estimates generally from 42,000 to 55,000.
