With the close of to-day te destinies of the men
whose names have been posted everywhere within
the limits of the city as the standard-bearers of
the two political parties of the day will be decided,
nd at the same hour wlU end one of the most bit
ter canvasses that has ever been waged In Philadel
phia. In consequence of the extreme heat of the
summer months the campaign has been a short one,
but It has been decidedly sharp. For the past two
weeks everything else seems to have been forgotten,
and both parties have been busily engaged In the
interest of their organization. While the Demo
cracy were paying no attention to mass meetings,
they were active la other ways, and the principal
feature In which they have been engaged
has been the manufacturing of voters. Hun
dreds of men have been brought hero
from other cities and given a habitation which they
have only known since the 11 rat days of the registry,
and which they will never know after to-ni?ht
That hundreds of illegal votes will be polled no one
will doubt, and the only trouble that will probably
arise anywhere at the polls will be when these colo
nizers present themselves at the polls. However,
aa yet no serious difficulties have been reported,
and the threatened riots of the Democracy havu no .
transpired. For many reasons the political ooutesi
now raging at the polls in this city and State Is of
the most exciting character. Parties are mixed and
confounded; tickets are being scored and spilt;
men are voting by Judgment and con
science, not by partisanship. When the
day declines an the fight Is over, strange develop
ments, unexpected returns, will startle many of toe
candidates and the citizens. It can already be seen,
that Paxaon a nd Price will largely lead their respec
tive ticket! Men In these two Instances seem to
have laid aside uarty prejudices, and are voting for
the merit of the candidates.
The public buildings question is not a party one,
but a sectional one, yet the Democracy, la folding
tneir tickets, have Included one for Washington
Square, and unless the Penn Square Democrat looks
b harp, his ballot in that respect will be worthless, as
he will cast two tickets one for each location. In
the upper part of the city the feeling seems to.be
almost unanimous la favor of the Ilroad street site,
while in the central portion the same may.be said of
Washington Square.
X Great Interest has been centred in this election
I owing to its being the first occasion on which the
j colored portion of the population has exercised the
j right of franchise. This community have been
threatened and badgered from day to day,
but that they bad not been Intimidated thereby was
J manifest at all the precinct houses. Tney were out
early and In strong numbers. It had been said
that the police had been Instructed to make whole
sale arrests of them last night, but they, be It said
to their credit, maintained the best of order during
the night, anil but few were seen on the streets. In
the Fourth, Fifth, and Seventh wards there were
two lines of vorera one colored and one white and
in order that there should be no difficulty, It was
agreed that the votes should be taken alternately.
Up to latest advices, good order has been generally
maintained. (
The Fourth, Fifth, and Beveut- Wards.
It was regarded that In the lower section of the
city there would be no places more Interesting or
exciting than at the polls of the Third and Sixth
precincts of the "Bloody Fifth" and the First and
Second of the Seventh wards. It was in these divi
sions that the largest colored vote was to be polled,
much to tho meltable disgust, disapprobation, and
dismay of the flower of the great unterrifled, who
in the halcyon days of the pant here put Into such
excellent practice the old Democratic maxim,
Vote early and often." It was prophesied that the
tide of aifalrs would not run smooth, from the fact
that the colored vote would make overwhelmingly
Republican what hitherto were overwhelmingly
Democratic divisions. But, quite contrary to all ex
pectations, at the polls of the precincts we have
mentioned there were no riotous proceedings, but
a number of lesser crimes and disgraceful occur
rences, which we will attempt to picture.
EARLY AT THK 1'OLLS.
Monday night the colored voters in all of the divi
sions already named resolved to be at the polls and
in line before the dawn of election day ; and at Fifth
and Lombard streets, the voting place of the T bird
precinct of the Fifth ward, the were in line at four
o'clock In the morning, the line extending down
Fifth street to CfcisklH. Every one was elated, and
displayed In a conspicuous manner the Republican
ticket. ,
.THE TOOLS OF THK DEMOCRACY.
It was at this poll, however, that Mayor Fox's
notice violated the law in the most flagrant manner.
and by their conduct gave a further demonstration
of the fact that thev constitute a great political or
ganization in the service of the Democracy. Not
withstanding that Mia law requires officers to keep
awav from the polls and not t interfere with the'
right of an? voter, and to appear at the scene only
when summoned to assist lu preserving order, they
stood not only on each side of the window, to chal
lenge a voter or to order him away as Ineligible, but
stood directly In front of the window, so that no
colored voter conld deposit his ballot unless at tne
option of a policeman. Aitnougn tne nne or colored
men bad the right of way to the window.
the policemen formed a second line com
posed of the "uuterrlUed," and kept the
former back until each Democrat had
deposited bis ticket. Here was political strategy.
The total number of registered voters in this pre
cinct was sso, of whom ive were colored ana aoaut
200 white Republicans. Under the most favorable
circumstances, hardly one vote could be polled a
minute, which would only admit of 600 for the entire
day. As the colored men had the right of way to
the window, the strategic leaders of the Democracy
at once discovered yiat If they polled all their
htrercth the "unterrifled" would be sadly worsted.
The police were then brought Into requisition to
break the line at the window, shove back the
negroes, and shove ahead the Democrats, and when.
ever a newly enfranchised man entered a demurrer
to catch hint bv the scruif of the neck, and with an
exclamation, "You repeater, Jerk him from the
line. All this depreciated the Kepublican stock and
correspondingly increased that or tne opposition.

were here busy, and regarded, undoubtedly, the
work of the officers as wisely strategic and coin-

In the First and Second precincts of the Seventh
ward the colored vote was respectively Mi and 4 Ji
There wert no disturbances, aud the full strength of
the Kepublican forces was gathered In. The colored
men were sverwbelmingly in favor of O'Neill. These
MeciHcts were at first regarded as strongly in fvor
of creeley, but ths anintui of the change of leeling
will be found in tne circular of the Democratic City
Executive Committee commending Creely to the.
support of the Democratic voters, which ge to the
colored men the lively impression that Creeley hid
t-oinprounsed with the opposition. TUe vote on the
squares wasqualiy divided.
TUB UL0K10U8 lOl'KTH.
At Eighth and Shippeq streets is the poll of the
Kabih division of the fourth ward, the "Old k
lmnle ' of the Democratic bot This Is "Mully S
wud, and perhaps in no liabitsbls portion of the
earth Is there such a dradly enmity against the
colored voter as that entertained by the intelligent
Democracy of the Fourth ward. It was bad enough
that the negro should be disenthralled, but when he
was made coequal politically with the law-abiding
and loyal denizens of the Fourth, patience had
ceased to be a virtue, and the breast of each and
every Democrat swelled with righteous indignation.
They vowed that, at least In the Kighth precinct, no
ignoble son of Ham should have a ghost of a chance.
No sooner, then, was the line formed than "Mully"
he of the valiant "Woya" paraded up and down
Its length with an Alexander Selkirk look in his mtld
and loving eye. At his back an unknown force
would disrupt the line, and a colored voter would
directly find himself in the street or at the tail-end
of the procession to the polls.
BILLY M'MVLLIN WOirrBD.
"Mully," however, went too far. There wa9 in the
line a dusky freeman by the name of Thomas Hail.
Mully grabbed him with, "Come out here, you
. You're no voter 1"
Whereupon Hall made no verbal response, but
drawing back a huge arm administered a smashing
blow to Mully s face, which keeled Billy the Great
upon the pavement.
IMul'.y jumped up, struck out wildly with his left,
and again was persuaded to return to dust by an
equally forcible blow.
Being, however, overpowered, Hall was captured
and taken to the Fifth District Ktatton. The effect
of the skirmish was salutary, and thereafter no more
disturbances occurred.

gieat Mc himself early In the day so far forgot him
self as to engage In a personal encounter with a
gentleman of color, as narrated above.
In this division the colored voters voted early in
the day, and by nine o'clock scarcely a colored man
was to be been at the window. A long line of
colored men was formed immediately on the open
ing of the poll and the heaviest colored vote was
then cast, the whites w.ttinr until their colored
brethren got through. At this poll, as well as at
all the others In the down-town wards, a large
poster was placed In a conspicuous place, of which
the following is a copy:
'Beware of the
COLORED KETEATBHS!
They have been engaged to dislranchlse yfcu. They
will
y TOTE EARLY AND OFTEN.
W ATCH THEM I CHALLENGE THEM !
hey are the Ignorant tools of corrupt politicians."
, Considering the source from which this poster
emanated, the remark about the tools of corrupt
politicians is particularly good. The line " Vote early
and often." being in the largest characters, and visi
ble at a dlstanee, Where the rest of the poster conld
not be read, looked very much like a command. The
total colored voting population In this division Is 237,
and this number was very nearly all In during the
llrst hour. The stickers around this poll seemed to
have been but little disturoed, nearly every one
voting a straight ticket on either one side or the
other. The colored voters nearly all came prepared
with their votes In their pocket, and did not depend
npon what they might obtatn at the polls. By this
means they satisfied their own minds that the whole
thing was right.
With the exception of the aldermanio airalr, there
was but little lighting early in the day; but from
present appearances, and judging from the rate at
which old rye and the like was being imbibed, there
Is a fair prospect of trouble before the day is well
over, one little colored damsel, playing with a com
panion on a doorstep, was heard exultinglyto re

Wont there be some fun, though?" Probably there
will for those who like it. There were but few
policemen at this poll.
When they showed themselves, whloh was at long
Intervals, they kept on the other side of the street.
Perhaps they thought that there were enough
friends already there to watch things, and that tneir
presence was more (needed at other points, as Indeed
it was. At other down-town polls a good police
force was in attendance during the entire morning.
The vote up to 11 o'clock was a strong Democratic
majority, which was to be expected, and Washing
ton Square was the favorite site almost to a man.
This, however, was the case in all the lower divi
sions. THE NINTH DIVISION.
In the Ninth division, another Democratic strong
hold of the Fourth ward, there was no disturbance
whatever. Tho colored voting population here Is
120, and this, as in the Eighth division, was nearly
all in during the first hour. The colored line was
iormeu eariy. but nere tne wniie men ma
not wait so long for the colored
brethren, but went in with them to a
greater or leas extent. Policeman No. . on duty
at this place, on being interviewed, expressed great
sorrow to see these "hulking niggers standing up in
a line witn white men, just as if tney were as good
as we are. It makes me sick," says Policeman No.
, "it does, indeed. If I wre a Kepublican I'd turn
right round and vote the Democratic ticket." in a
neighboring gin mill another line could do seen
where white and colored men were standing
side by side taking their bitters. No one here ap
peared to think of the incongruity of the two races
being in tne same line, if it is an right in tne one
instance, why may it not be in the otlie?
A WOMAN IN TROUBLE.
In the Third division of the Fifth ward a colored
man was arrested, on the charge of voting twice.
The officer who attested him, on starting to take the
man to tne station, was assauitea Dy a colored
Woman, who collared the officer and attempted to
rescue the man.
With the help of other officers both parties were
taken In charge, and this woman was doubled np in
a eneet and carried to tne station. Tne omcer wnom
the woman collared had his shirt severely damaged
uv tne assault.
At tnis division tne coiorea nne during me wnoie
morning was enormous, the number of colored
voters being so great. A white man here was the
exception. They (the whites) are probably laying
on, waiting for tne colored men to get tnrougn,
wnen they also intend to go in and perhaps win.
They have bad a pretty long wait.
The Twelfth Ward.
In most of the precincts of the above ward the
vote is light comDared with that of last year. Very
little excitement prevails, and, Indeed, both Demo
crats ana itepuDiicans manuest nine activity, in
the Filth division there are about 65 colored voters
registered. This morning 65 of taem marched to the
poll aud deposited the straight Kepu oilcan ticket,
not a scratch among them. Although the vote la
light the Republicans are. no to 11 A. M., doing well.
Mr. Myers la receiviog good support, and .tne k-
publicans expect to return for that candidate a fair
ma oniv.
Contrary td general expectation, there was very
little scratching done. Air. Bunn has fallen very
little behind his ticket, and the same is true or
Messrs. Leeds and Lynd. Among the Democrats,
William IS. Price seems to be the favorite. Good
order pre vailed throughout the ward, there net being
a single disturbance. In the vote for the site of the
new public buildings Penn Square has a heavy iua
jority.
The Fourteenth Ward.
The indications up to 12 o'clock to-day are that
the vote of the above ward will be small, when the
increased leglstration is taken into consideration.
In the Sixth and Thirteenth precincts the balloting,
compared with last year, was very weak. In the
Second division, however, In which section there
are 140 colored voters, the Republicans, of course,
made a very handsome advance on their Demo
cratic friends. .A good vote is being polled for
ine congressional candidates, ami uenerai
Thomas la receiving much better support than was
anticipated, but the balloting, so far, is not calcu
lated to ailect materially the prospects of Judge
Keiiey. uenerai Thomas is not recelv tng aa many
Democratic votes as he expected, and the cutting
or jur. Keney dv upuoucaus has not been as ex
tensive as many were disposed to Imagine. All the
Kepublican candidates are receiving excellent sup
port. The utmost good order prevailed. The vote
lor the site of the new public buildings was about
inree to one in iavor oi renn nquare.
Hlxteentb, Seventeenth. Klghteenth, and Nine
teenth wuoi.
Up to noon to-day no disturbances of any note
have occurred in the northeastern section of the
city. The voUng has progressed rapidly throughout
tne entire morning, and the hourly returns show au
increased vote as compared wim tne last election.
Considerable scratching is being done, principally In
the Seventeenth and Eighteenth wards. Tnis will
materially ailect the vote for Congressman, and
Leonard Myers, it Is said, will Buffer thereby; but It
will not change tht complexion of the Third di
trier. In the Seventeenth ward William M. Bunn
for Register of Wills, is receiving a large number of
Democrats votes, and he. in return, it is alleged.
Is showering his favors in the interest
of Michael Mullen for the Legislature,
This arrangement was entered into
some time since, and the wire-pullers for both of
these candidates were working harmoniously this
morning, and with beneficial results, as far as their
men were concerned. Id the Thirteenth Legislative
district, comprising the Seveuteeuth and portions of
other adjoining wards, there was every chance of the
election oi air. uuinoen, tne Republican candidate.
air Mullen being a strong Independent caudidate
on the Democratic ticket against John Farsythe, the
nominee oi ine ueiuocrauo party, it was expeotea
that the "unterrifled'' of the Seventeenth would not
allow the colored vote to be polled, but tht mora
lug the "newly enrrancnised," or whom there are
slxty-ibree in the ward, were at their places in the
line, depositing their ballots. All these voters reside
in the Fourth division, and vote at the northeast
corner of second aud Thoinpsou streets.
In the Eighteenth ward there are only a few
colcrfd voters, in the Sixteenth ward some twenty,
and it) the Nineteenth ward there are Ofty-ctx.
Before noon the colored vote was nearly all polled In
the wards referred to.
Twentieth Ward.
This ward, which polls the' heaviest vote of any In
the city, gave a majority last year of S4S for Geary
for Governor. Comprising a rapidly improving dis
trict, there has been a material Increase of voters,
and In alditlon there are nearly 200 colored votes
which have never been cast before. Extensive
preparations had been made by the leaders of both
parties to bring ont a full vote, and for this purpose
every house lias been visited and its occupants urged
to come out to-day. Inducements were also held
out for the residents to make their sttpearance
early in the day. as early as 630 o'clock
there were lines formed at nearly all of the
precinct houses, and In many Instances when the
polls were opened there were at least a hundred
ready to cast their ballots. As is usually the case,
the best of feeling was manifested and there were
no unusual demonstrations tending to create a dis
turbance. Challenges were but few, and they seemed
to be confined to naturalized citizens. In some cases
those who were not to the manor born had neglected
to bring their papers and they were consequently
despatched to their homes for these requisites. So
enraged did one of this class become, on being in
formed that it was actually essential that he should
produce his papers, that he ripped his ballot in half
and swore "he'd be pf he'd cum back." The
colored voters behaved themselves It a
very orderly manner. They came ea'iv
In squads of a dozen, and nearly
all had prepared their ticket In advance. It was
amusing to see how active the Democratic standard
bearers would become when a colored man. Inti
mated a desire for a Democratic sticker. These
canes were few and far between, as nearly every one
voted a Kepublican solid ticket. Their behavior
while at the window was commendable Indeed.
They showed that they fully comprehended the new
privileges wnicn naa been entrusted to them. They
answered all questions promptly, and when their
ballot was placed in me box they left the vicinity of
the noils. The voting throughout this ward has
been very brisk, and although there were some fears
that it would be impossible to get all In, the chances
are there will not be the same tronble as has hereto
fore been experienced in the latter part of the day,

The excitement at Fifth and Lombard streets crew
fast, and drew to that locality a great crowd of
people. About ten 0 clock in the morning an agree.
ment between tne Kepublican and Democratic
leaders had been made, by which two lines of voters,
one composed or colored voters and the other of
Democratic, were formed, and the votes depositod
alternately. Under this retime the colored men
were grossly deceived, for the policemen and their
unomciai aiues wouiu oiock me way to tne window,
by which amn a. etat they were successful in having
about live Democratic votes cast to one Republican.
1 oe colored men objected to mis outrageous pro
cedure, ana were eitner snencea by threats or arrest
or thrown from the line and hustled on. Many of
me omcers, tne more completely to Shield them
selves from after recognition, took their numbers
from their hats; and then commenced, without
hindrance, a rule by force. When colored men
asked for Kepublican tickets they would have Demo
cratic ones thrust into their hands, and If they tore
them I up, which they almost invariably did, would
be brow-beaten or maltreated.
All this conduct, so openly violent and flagrant,
added fuel to the flame of indignation, and by VI
o'clock the street was blocked with colored men
and white, one class frenzied wit'a excitement and
smarting under the wrongs inflicted upon them, and
tne other doing what tney could by taunts to
heighten it. To such a pass had things come, that
word was Bent to the United States Marshal, Gene
ral Gregory, to send relief.
This the Marshal did, in company with Mayor

The oil of peace was poured upon the troubled
waters. The riot was killed In embrro. The officers
suddenly remembered the duties of their office, has
tened from the Immediate vicinage of the polls,
cleared the street, and stood like guardian angels
upon the curbs. Again the colored men had the
opportunity of voting, aud all things betokened that
for the rest of the day, at least until the Marshal
should leave, right would again have sway.
