'firK THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 9, ' 189a '?. PROVED A SUCCESS, Baker's Ballot Law "Works like a Charm, and Makes Friends Everywhere. VERY QUIET DAY IN TOWN. A Harked Absence of Disorder Around the Polling Places, One of the men reached orer the chain to explain what he meant on the official bal lot The marshal present requested him not to toach the tictet, bnt to use a sample. This example will give some idea of how the polls were watched to prevent fraud. Not Much Scratching Done. Straight Toting was the rule, though James Breen was cut in the First ward where Peter Carr worked and voted for Dalzell against the old newsaper man. As a rule in Presidental years there is not much scratching, but yesterday voters were afraid to take chances with the new ballot, It was plain how to vote the full ticket bnt scratching is a little difficult, and rather than have the whole ballot thrown out for blunders made In cutting, the voters swal lowed the whole whether they liked it in enabled to flash their election bulletins on a canvas stretched on their magnificent building opposite the Dispatch building. VOTES CAST QUICKLTAND EASILY. The Law strictly and Impartially forced to the Letter. En- ALLEGHEM CITI CASTS A LARGE TOTE The general verdict in Pittsburg last evening was that the Baker Ballot law is a success, though there" are always kickers against innovations and improvements in the voting system. The election passed off without excitement anywhere in the coun ty, but the vote polled in the two cities was very heavy. Early in the day it be came apparent to Democrats and Republi cans alike that the new law was working tatislrctorily, and even the most ignorant voters were not having any trouble in de claring their political choice. After all the bugaboo talk about the complicated system, voters found it comparatively easy to mark the tickets. The majority went to the polls witn iear and tremblinc, but when they had arranged the ballot and saw it safely deposited in the box they heaved a sigh of relief and re marked, "Why, how simple. A child could do that." Now this is the general apinion of unbiased people who want honest elections. The polling places were a novelty, but citizens soon got used to their surroundings. ALOEdlMRUS ' I -- - P--' B j; C" li. I L S 1 ltt y Bj Ju 1 l 4 p I ,1k L Waiting for Vacant Moths. Voting in Magistrate JifcKenna's Office. All parties had watchers on hand to instruct and give information. The man who knew how to vote was quite willing to help his neighbor who didn't. A Contrast to Former Elections. The spirit of fairness shown all around is commendable and in marked contrast to the lively scramble for votes under the old plan. The chain around the booths plainly said to the public, "Thus far shalt thou come and no farther." People respected the lines drawn by the law, and though all the requirements of the act were not strictly enforced, voters were respectful and wanted to know what was allowable and what not The majority agree that the new system has put the elections on a higher plain, and if there has been a good deal of fraud in the past, it will be difficult to cheat in the future. The effect of the law first was to bring out an early and in consequence a full vote. The latter result may be due to the in terest always taken in a national contest, but it is a fact that a great many people who probably would not have voted at all went to the polls to try the new ballot act They went early because many were afraid it would be like waiting for a chair in a barber shop on a Saturday, and they were under the impression it would take a long time to vote. Herein they were agreeably disappointed. No One Had to AValt tong. All the precincts in the city were pro vided with from four to Bix booth, and no body was compelled to wait more than a few minutes. The vote in the suburbs and in the outlying wards was very heavy in the morning. The citizens deposited their tickets before going to work, aud many had made arrangements to remain in the city all night to hear the returns. As an example of how rapid the voting was done, a few instances may be cited. In the First pre cinct of the Fourteenth ward, 18 tickets had been put in up to 7:30. The eighteenth man was a barber, and he thought it was pretty lively work for a half hour. In the first Drecinct ot the .fcirst ward, Allegheny William Witherow says 93 votes had been cast at 9 o'clock, and only one was against the bond issue. In the downtown wards of Pittsburg the vote was slower coming in. In the Fourth ward the average was maintained all day, while in the First and Second wards the workers claimed in the afternoon the vote wasnotas large as it ought to be. Hovever, the busiest time in the lower wards is be tween 5 and 7 in the evening, and yester day was no exception. The mechanics in the mills go to work in the morning before the polls are open, and they quit early in the afternoon. Many of the boys go direct to the voting places from the shops, and it is needless to add that their ballots are always welcome. Remarkable Vote at the Northslde. In Allegheny Superintendent JIuth at noon had completed the rounds of all the precincts. He said the vote up to that time was the heaviest in the history of the city. Another good effect of the law noticed was that it stopped the peddling of tickets around the polls, and there wasn't so much button-holing of voters as in former rears. The Democrats and Republicans were very wniuuiui, tt"i .; wwiculh were numer ous. A politician stated last evening that in all his experience he had never seen so many voters questioned. 2fo favoritism was shown, and the man who had not ful filled the requirements of the law in every detail was turned down. This feature of the election was oommented upon by work ers in all parties, and they expressed them selves as glad to see it It will cause citi zens to be careful about registering in the future or lose their votes. The usual crowds around the voting places were on deck, but they were smaller than usual. A United States marshal was stationed in every precinct, and the officers saw that good order was maintained. No boisterous talk was permitted, and, indeed, the mar shals had little to do. The official tickets were carefully guarded. In one ot the downtown districts a discussion arose in the crowd about tome requirement ot the law. all its parts or not Peter Carr vowed he would not vote for Jim Breen when he was nominated, and he kept his word. He claimed he would line up 250 other Demo crats from the First ward against him, and he was confident veterday that Breen would run away be hind the ticket in the ward. George Free was another Democrat who was mad at Mr. Breen. He didn't vote for Dalzell, and he cut the Democrat Other Democrats in the First ward claimed that Carr's influence would not amount to much and Mr. Breen would poll pretty nearly the regular vote of the ward. Councilman King wandered back and forth between the polling places in the Fourth ward, on Penn avenue. In the schoolhouse the booths were turned toward the wall, and the voter could not be seen. This was done to give the man in the booth better light In Barney McKenna's office and other voting places the booths were located so that the voters could be plainly seen. For that matter any man who watched closelv could tell how the ticket was marked. Another Kink In the law. Mr. King said he was surprised to learn that turniug the booths away from the crowd and the election board was illegal. He thought that is the wav they should be located, and the law ought to he modified to correct this defect "How ever," he said, "lam greatly pleased with he new ballot law. It is defective in some instances, but we will learn from expe rience, under the Austratian system, the voter can't be seen. The same Is true in the Scotch law. The registration is very fine and prevents fraud. The plan of count ing is good and will be satisfactory to every- Tlie white-haired magistrate, Barney Mc Kenna, tat outside of the chain in his office yesterday afternoon and watched the people vote. He said the ballots were coming in slonly. When asked how he liked the new law, he replied: "Well, I have heard a great many complaints about it to-dav irom voters, but I notice they don't have" much trouble in marking the tickets." Down in the first precinct of the First ward, Alderman Steve Toole and Peter Carr watched the polls for the Eepublicans and Democrats. 'Squire Toole said he liked the new system of voting, but he thinks the law could be improved. He suggested for the benefit of those who can't read or write, and by the way they are numerous, that the Ohio plan of nutting an eagle over the Republican ticket and a rooster over the Democratic should be adopted. The ignorant would know the difference between the birds, and couldn't be taken. In by people who might want to deceive them. Mr. Toole thinks also that one cross at the head of the ticket Is enough. There were five places to be marked on the ballots in Allegheny county. Objections to the Numbering. Peter Carr objected to numbering the bal lots. He thought that destroyed all the se creoy. In other particulars he was well pleased with the system. Mr. Richardson, of Sewicklej, remarked that the number was turned under and nobodv could tell who voted the ticket He argued that the numbers would be a great help in a recount, and would insure an honest election. Others thought the ballot was too cumbrous, but it can be made more compact in the future. The First ward people missed the crowds outside the polls, but the politicians were glad of the change. Chief Elliot was down at the Eagle engine house yesterday afternoon to hear how the election was going. "This law doesn't in sure a secret ballot," he Baid. "Any man can stand ofl from the booths and tell how the voter is marking the ticket The old law, with the New York sybtem of registra tion, is the best The Baker plan is too ex pensive. I will bet that the election will cost the counties of the State 52,000,000. The expenses will be heavy in Allegheny and Philadelphia counties. In Philadelphia the Commissioners have erected corrugated iron booths along the streets. This will cost a great deal of money." Failed to Make His Hindi An amusing incident occurred in the Sec ond precinct ot the .Fourth ward. A man with a red nose opened the door and called the young Democratic watcher in charge to step outside. The fellow had several com panions with him on the pavement, and it was evident that the gang was hard up for a drink. "Now watch me bluff them," said the young man. "I tell you," he continued, as he stepped outside, "I like one thing about the Baker ballot law. It stops 1 uh ing. All those fellows want is booze, but they will be fooled this time." In a lew minutes he returned, but the laugh was on him. "Confound the law," he remarked. "It didn't save me. They were too sharp. First they asked for whisky, but I flattered myself I had bluffed them by saying I had none, and the druggist from whom I eet my suddIv on electinn day was afraid to sell it on account ot the new law. 'Well, give us the money, we will get the stuff,' said one of them. What was I to do. I hadn't thought of that. They got it, and I am wiser. " AT THE HEADQUARTERS. The County Chairmen Lounged Abont and Claimed Everything in Sight Gripp Especially Fleas od With Allegheny County. The activity which has characterized the political headquarters in this city for the past month was lacking yesterday. The Chairmen were on hand all day claiming with great confidence everything in sight They had little else to do. Every now and then a voter who had not given much attention to the new ballot law called for instructions. In many instances such ap plicants were put through the moduB oper audi of voting with a sample ballot so they had only to go to their district and repeat the performance to score a vote for their candidate. Chairman Gripp at Republican head quarters seemed absolutely happy as he lounged in a chair and rested his leet on a table during the afternoon. He said ho felt confident of Harrison's re-election, hut was particularly well pleased with the county. "Had I believed it possible the vote would be so heavy," said he, "I would have placed Allegheny county's majority for Harrison higher than 20,000. It's surprising how the people are turning out Reports from all over the county indicate the largest vote ever polled. As far as I have heard there has been no trouble at any polling place. At one district in the Second ward, Alle gheny, more than half the vote palled at the last general election was in before 9 o'clock this morning." That the Chairman was not talkingfor the sake of it was generally understood at sport ing centers down town, where considerable money wagered was credited to him, though placed by other parties. Whenever a bet on the Republican majority in this county was oflered at less than 18,000, there was always money to cover it at even figures. Chairman Brennen had a crowd of the faithful about him all day. Like the other Chairman he was sure ot success. He stated that a number of complaints had been re ceived that in certain Republican districts every voter was permitted to take another person into the booth to assist in prepar ing his ballot The Eleventh and Four teenth wards were those most complained of. Mr. Brennen thought it an outrage that the law was disregarded in this way. "The Baker law is intended for a secret ballot," said be, "and no man has a right to take another into the booth with him unless physically disabled or intellectually deficient. Any man able to see and read and having the nse of his hand can mark his own ballot. The law with very little alteration is bound to be a great success, notwithstanding all that has been said against it" The judge of election in the Thirty-fourth ward opened a package of sample ballots yesterday morning instead of the official ones. Before the mistake was discovered :?7 of them had been voted, 23 by Democrats and 14 by Reptibticaus. It n as decided by the County Chairman that those so voting were not entitled to another vote, because it was unlawiul to open the box to remove the tickets. TICKLED TO DEATH. QUAY UNCONCERNED. His Information on Based on Hearsay the Contest Evidence. IT IS A HARD FIGHT, nE THINKS. He Violates a Custom bj leaving Home on Election Mglit. C. L. MAGEL'S ST0RT IS K0T CREDITED United States Senator Quay, apparently the most disinterested and unconcerned in dividual in America, spent three hours yesterday in Parlor O at the Duquesne Hotel. The Senator was.either sublimely confident of Republican success or he was delightfully indifferent as to the outcome of the national contest, and his "word was given to those who called upon him that he was positively without information on the all-important subject Senator Flinn, a L. Magee, United States Marshal Harrah and Postmaster Mc Keau were'among those who called on the Beaver Senator. To all of them he talked freely of the great political battle, and to each he shook his head significantly and Allegheny Teople Think the Baker Jiallot System Just the Thins The Bond Issue to Be an Easy Winner at 3 to 1. Allegheny is tickled over the Baker ballot law, and more of her citizens tried it yesterday than usually go to the polls. There was an unusual vote out on the Northside yesterday. A great many people voted the straight tickets for fear that if they tried to cut them they would lose their votes. The people asked for little assist ance in making out their tickets. In the whole First nard there was but one kick against the system. Then that man made an apologv alter he had voted. The elec tion officers think the vote can be counted as rapidly as under the old system. The one issue across the river this year is the bond proposition, and from appear ances yesterday Mavor Kennedy's pet scheme will win easily. A year ago the bond issue was not properly handled, but this year every detail has been looked after. Mayor Kennedy had 400 tickets of each kind at every polling place. The bal lots "against" the issue never run out, but it was necessary to replenish the "for" kind iu a number of instances. Chief Murphy aud Superintendent Muth were ardent supporters for the issue which would improve Allegheny. Thee two gentlemen aud the Mayor were all smiles yesterday afternoon. Mayor Kennedy wtio just a trifle doubtful yesterday morning, but Chief Murphy was devo'd of fear. Just to back Wi Mil G., - i Waiting for the SaUoti. ' 1 li 1 f g L I said: "It's a hard fight. They tell me Harrison will win. That's all I know abont it" Senator Quay was looking the picture of robust health. Ho was dressed in a neat fitting suit of gray. His checks looked fresh as a girl's and he appeared younger by ten years than when in Pittsburg some months ago. He was walking restlessly to and fro in his room, when The Dispatch reporter entered. As he walked he talked to Marshal Harrah and another friend. Belied Upon the Democratic Chairman. "What do you know of the election, Sen ator," the reporter asked. "They tell me Harrison will be elected." "Who do you mean by they?" , "I mean the men at National Republican headquarters, Chairman Carter and others," the Senator answered smilingly. "Does Chairman Carter know?" "Well, I knew, when I was Qhairman." "Senator, who will carry New York State?" "I don't know. It's a hard fight" "What do you think of Indiana?" "They tell me Harrison will carry his own State." "What infprmation do yon have of Alabama?" "Mr. Magee tells me that the Republi cans would carry that State it we could get a square count down there." "I hardly think that is a fact," Marshal Harrah interrupted. "Mr. Magee told a 1 rie nd of mine that he had to leave Alabama to prevent his being driven out of there. If the Republicans are as strong as he repre sents, I rather think he would have fared better." The United States Senator Agreed. "Yes, probably," Senator Quay answered. The Senator, contrary to nis custom on election nights, did not have an anxious ear to a private telegraph wire in his Beaver home. He came from his home to Pittsburg early in the afternoon, and he went to Philadelphia on the fust line at 8:10 last nighf "If is not your custom to leave home on election nights," the reporter suggested. "No. I usuallv receive the news nt my home. I will get the result when I arrive in Philadelphia." "That will be a trifle late." "No, I will likely get the information soon enough." Then Mr. Quay looked at his watch. It was just 5 o'clock in the aflernoon. The polls have just closed in New York We should get some information irom that city within an hour. When the reporter was leaving the Sena tor bowed politely and said: "I wish you would send me any information you may get before my train leaves." ON THE S0UTHSIDE. THE CITY IN COURT TO-DAY. The Triennial Assessment Cases to Be Called Up Before a Fall Bench of Com mon Fleas Judges Great Interest Mani fested Figures From the Assessors. To-day the judges of the three Common Pleas courts will sit in banc on the trien nial assessment appeals. No municipal matter has been in court since the curative legislation was under fire which interested so many taxpayers of the city as this. City Attorney Moreland has prepared all the pa pers for the city's side of the case. Among other things he has the final official total of the triennial assessment It shows that the cash valuation of all property was f 274,255, 559. The taxable valuation, as returned to the City Treasurer, was 5253,315,029. Since the assessment was returned to the Treas urer exonerations, reducing valuations, changing classification, changes of property and transfers reduce the total by .170, 029 93. This would reduce the tax income altogether $810. The i appeals number 260, and about 30 of the best attorneys in the city have them in charge. Every point in each case will be vigorously fought in court to-day. One hundred of the appeals are on valuations. Of these 14 are irom the Thirteenth ward, 31 from the Twentieth, 11 from the Nine teenth and 22 from the Twenty-second ward. Several of the downtown wards are also represented in the list, among them being W. J. Mellon, KaufmannBros., Paul Hacke, the Liggett, Murdoch and Hitch cock estates and James Quinn. The bal ance of the appeals are on classification. It is expected that all will be settled by the decision of the court on the first three or four taken up. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. IHE PRESS CLTJB BENEFIT. Will Present the Best Programme Ever Offered In Pittsburg. The sale of seats for the Press Clnb bene fit, to be held at the Duquesne Theater, on Friday afternoon, November 18, was opened yesterday. There have been many rnshes to the box office of the Duquesne prior to big events, but the rush of yesterday was the biggest rush that ever was experienced at that theater. The programme as it now stands Is the biggest ever offered to the Pittsburg public.

NO SECRET BALLOT FOE THEM. They Got Around the Law In the Thirteenth Ward. The operation of the secret ballot and dis ability features of the Baker law was rendered farcical in the Seventh district of the Thirteenth ward. The usual remarks from one of the judges as a voter passed be hind the guard rail was: "Do you want somebody to help you fix your ticket?" If the answer was in the affirmative, or even if the citizen seemed in doubt on the sub ject he was furnished mthan assistant very speedily. No claim of disability of any kind was necessary, and little attention was paid to the three minutes' rule. The only time the election officers protested was when one voter and his assistant com menced to mark a ticket on top of the bal lot box, instead ot in a booth. Bon. John W. Morrison's Vote Challenged State Treasurer John W. Morrison dropped into Bellevue yesterday to cast his vote, and to his surprise was challenged by D. H. Martin, the well-known Prohibition ist, who claimed that Mr. Morrison was a non-resident Mr. Morrisou, however, in sisted that Bellevue would be his home as long as he lived. His vote was received, and heJeft for Harrisburg last evening. up his opinions he wagered the best hat in the two cities with Mr. Kennedy that the issue would win out 2 to 1. From appear ances at 5 o'clock last evening Mayor Kennedy had conceded the Chiof his hat The Sixth ward was the doubtful one as regards the issue. Superintendent Muth made a canvass of tho precincts in this ward late yesterday afternoon and was convinced that the bonds would carry. He said that the large property holders "were all in favor of it The opposition is expected from those who own little homes. A tour was made around the downtown districts and the issue was winning from 2 to 1 to 10 to 1. In the fifth precinct of the First ward there was a light vote for the bonds, but every ballot cast was for the issue. In the second pre cinct ot the Second ward at 5 o'clock 125 votes had been cast and only 2 of that num ber were against the bonds. FIND THE NEW LAW EA8T. How a The Kindness of Oar Neighbors.

The election in the Twenty-third ward was the quietest in years, the voters hay ing no trouble with the new ballots and all were pleased with the new system. A lit tle ill feeling was caused in one precinct by the challenging of a vote and the marshal threatened to arrest one of the Democratic workers. The latter replied he would have the marshal arrested. The marshal said he tas not subject to arrest, but his opponent replied boldly: "I'll have you arrested by the martial law." The marshal seemed to. think there might be some law relating to marshals which he did not know, so he subsided.

Falling-Ofl" In the Tote of Several Bis trlcts Wrangling; at Some of the Polling-Places Voted Sample Ballots by Mistake. With ery few exceptions everything went smoothly on the Southside yesterday under the new ballot law. During the morning an unusually heavy vote was cast, but toward evening the balloting fell be low the average. Two of the largest dis tricts on the Southside are the First and Fifth precincts of the Twenty-sixth ward. In the first named there are 3G2 registered voters, but only 87 of these appeared at the polls. In the latter district there are 30S voters, but only 1G9 came to time. The greatest trouble of the day seemed to occur in the Second precinct of the Twenty fourth ward. Here the Democrats and Re publicans had several wrangles over voters asking for instructions. One of the Demo cratic officers was positive that a number of Republican votes would be thrown out when the count was inaugurated. In the Third district of the Twenty-fifth ward the only hitch was when the election officers discovered that from 10 to 15 voters had deposited specimen ballots. In the Fourth precinct of the Twenty-sixth ward there was no Democratic supervisor. Joseph Dapper, the watchman, tried to perform this duty, but had a great aeai or aimcuuy in noiaing nis end up, as the Republicans opposed him in his self-appointed position. In the Sixth district of the Twenty-sixth ward things were coming so slowly about 4 o'clock that the indira fell asleep, greatly to the annoyance ot one of the watchmen, who was afraid someone would take advantage of the circumstance to stuff the ballot box. In the Second precinct of the Twenty sixth ward Georee B. Carle, the T)emn- cratic watchman, became quite noisy over a point in dispute. After being cautioned to keep silence without obeying, Supervisor Goodfellow ordered his removal, which was accomplished with some difficulty by the deputy marshals. OUT PENN AVENUE.
