In most of the downtown dis- tricts and in many of the polling precinct above Fourteenth Btreet were to be found men carrying bags of ballots and wearing broad white badges beating the Inscription \ Progressive Labor i Tarty. \ The Irving IJall Democrats have booths ' cr bagmen In folly half the districts. lint the labors performed In ordinary years by Iho\ workers\ have been very largely assumed . by by the voters themselves this year, for never In the history of New York politics has the voter been afforded such abundant opportunity to prepare his ballots at home.

Ada and pasters far the various candidates, and many of tho candidates have delivered their own tickets and pas'ers also by mall. The result Is shown to-d- In the almost universal prevalence of the. puzzling \vest-pock- et \ ballot. test rocxxT ballots. J This Is significant, too, of a determination on the part of the citizens of this town to select their candidates for themselves, and without ' the aid or Intervention of the ward \heeler \or \worker.\ The et voter B a terror to the practical politician. lie cannot be reached, and his vote Is always a doubtful one until It Is counted. It Is an axiom of tho politi- cians that the et voter Is not theirs. When party men follow the usual custom of tak- -' I lng their ballots from the booth of their party, the workers know how they vote. The act Is guaran teed that the oltlzan Is voting ' ' straight. \ It 1 another conceded fact in politics that the ' man with tho et ballot has a reason for coming to the polls with his ballots prepared. The word \ prepared \ means nothing If It does not mean that the ballot Is altered by \scratching\ and the use of tbe paster, There Is one method of arriving at tbe probable result, and that Is to ascertain how the party leaders are working. This Is determined by the performances of their known llenten-- ants and their accredited followers. And It may hero bo said that the Republican workers are working honestly In the main this II morning, peddling\ nothing but the straight Republican ticket, which of cdtarso Includes the .

'' \ The Labor movement acta like measles,\ a politician remarked this morning. \It seems to be necessary for It to run through a district, after which it la not aeon. s In some districts where George wss strongest J. last fall the vote for the United Labor candidates \lowed a large falling off In the morning, while In T ,10B0 dl,trlcta where there was a small vote for , George lasl fall the entire Labor ticket received a ncavyvote.

Tho employees of the Kjeystono Watch Com-- a pany marched to tho polls in a body at 10.80 ' o'clook behind a band and bearing banners ln-- - scribed, \ We Want the Earth,\ and with other j ' party mottoes. It Is understood, however, \ that they are abont equally divided between Post I nd NIcoll for District-Attorne- y. a I tub rjtooBissivxs no hot look vt.

A solitary worker, with a \Progressive\ bag is found at many of the polling places, but he seems to be acting only as a tun-pos- t. An Evening World reporter approached one of these bagmen at a Third avenue polling place. lie was a young man of eighteen or twenty years. \How goes the battle i\ queried the reporter, cheerily. There was only a strong stare In reply. \ How Is the Progressive Labor vote t Are your people polling their share here?\ The young man slowly and dreamily shook bis head, 'Inlohtoneratan,\hesald. tub nonr on distbict-attobne- t. Of course, everywhere the light Is on District-Attorne- The United Democratlo booths are generally manned by County Democrat and they are doing all they can with the few citizens who have not come to the polls with their ballots pre- pared. The Tammany men are devoting them-selve- ji more particularly to the rest of the ticket. But the young men who volunteered In the service for NIcoll and Martlne are doing splendid work for NIcoll, and their efforts will bear results. Irving Hall ;men are also active for NIcoll, and great conddenco la expressed In the belief that the et vote is about solid for the young prose- cutor. It Is certsln that the vest-pock- voters are to-d- deciding the question of supremacy between boss-Is- m and the better element In both parties. It Is noticeable that the et vote Is being cut most generally by men who have been heretofore Identified with the Democracy, and that is consid- ered significant of success tor NIcoll. It Is believed that the ballots point almost entirely to a spilt on District-Attorne- be came the candidates nsmed for tho other omoes by all parties are In the main unexceptionable men and there has been no decided oppo- sition within his party to any of them. Locally tnere will bo splits for each of the otter candidates, but probably no other split. The battle has been almost entirely over tho candidates (or District-Attorne- y, and the contest at the polls is but a \ wind np \ to the great battle. FEW TBOniBITION WORkBBS. A singular thing Is the scarcity of Prohibition workers at the polls. That party has, however, performed Its work thoroughly In the put week, snd It is conceded that It will poll a much heavier vote than last year. Ita men are of a class who mskenp their minds before election, and that de- cision cannot be altered nt the polls by the work- ers. They are voting largely for Nlooll. NICOLL rASTSBS IK DBMAMD. NIcoll pasters were in brisk demand early in tho day. In some Assembly districts notably the Seventh the early voting gave indication that the Prohibition vote for Dlstrlot-At-torne- y would be almoat entirely wiped out In favor of De Lancey NIcoll. Prohibitionists voted the straight party ticket with the exception of District-Attorne- They preferred tha chance of helping to elect NIcoll to the certain defeat of Mr. Manierre, their party candidate. Many strong Tammany men In the Seventh District nsed NIcoll pasters. Aside from the contest for District-Attorne- y to- day's election will be decided In all probability by the Labor and Prohibition vote. Th-- ud party lines are quite sharply drawn, thero being no general split against any candidate, and not much Is heard of selling out exoep't, as stated, in the Eighth District. In a few precincts aro found Democratlo State tickets bearing the name of Col. Fred Grant in plaoe of that of Frederick Cook, but they seem to be in the hands of Republicans who are not well enough known to be Identified with any party by tho average voter. It is not believed that many of them have been successfully palmed off. They emanated from tho office of a Republican In Park row, and tho Democratlo workers are fully ap- prised of their presence. MICOLL'S BOOK IN HABLEit. The sun, struggling through a summer-Ilk-a mist, had scarcely risen to shine on so much of the big Nineteenth Assembly District aa la Included within the boundary lines of Harlem, when he saw strange goings-o- n. There was no doubt that elec- tion day was at hand, for long and broad One Hundred and Twenty-fift- h street was a scene of unusual activity. Long before 8 o'clock, when tbe polling places were opened, men were seen erecting the booths. These were quickly covered with placards and posters announcing to which party or candidate each was to be devoted. By T o'clock the sun had so drlvsn away the chill add uncanny baza that be was able so sea some of his glory reflected from the nickel buttons whloh began to show themselves mora frequently and In greater numbers on the streets. The headquarters ot the NIcoll movement in West One Hundred and Twenty-fift- h street, be- tween St. Nicholas and Ninth avenues, were early tbe scene of activity. A large number of old and ex- perienced workers had assembled there, pursuant to Instructions previously given. They received their ballots and additional instructions and sallied out to do their appointed work with faces and nickel buttons shining gayly. \I never saw the enthusiasm In this section of tha city in any political canvass that Is shown for De Lanoey NIcoll y, \ said the gentleman in charge. \I never saw so many voters up so early in anything leu than a Presidential election. I am satisfied that it tbe rest of the town stand by the young candidate for District-Attorne- y sa well as wears doing It op here there will ba no doubt ot his elaction.\ B1BXT TOTES EOS XIOOLL. The big apartment-house- s which fill tha streets north and south of One Hundred and Twenty-fift- h street were alive at an unusually early hour, and their occupants hastened to the polls In order to get there before the (rush, but they found crowds ahead ot them. This was notably the case at the polling - place at No. 403 West One Hundred and Twenty-fift- h street. Tha officer In charge said that the avidity to vote y was nnprecedented. He would not commit himself as to the way things ware going, but referred tbe reporter to a man on the sidewalk In front ot a booth which bore a picture of Da Lancey N.icoll. ThU worker said: \We do- ing splendidly for NIcoll here and our booth is the liveliest of the lot. I have no doubt that NIcoll will have a big plurality over Fellows in this District.\ \Do you hear of any selling out business going on t\ he wsa ssked. No, not in this dlstdlct. Tha party lines are drawn too close and party fsellngruDS too high for that here.\ cnAMorNO rEOM rosT to nicoll. A walk through One Hundred and Twenty-fift- h street towards Third avenue discovered tho same scenes of bustle and activity, and aa the day ad- vanced the bustle aad activity Increased in a geometrical ratio. Near the corner of Seventh avenue and One Hundred and Twenty-fift- h street tbe NIcoll workers were especially diligent, and It was reported that many who bad made up their minds to vote tor Post wsra won over to the NIcoll ranks. ' There wss absolutely nothing doing at the Har- lem Democratlo CBub on One Hundred and Twen- - street, near Fifth avenue, and the attend- ant In charge said that no one had put In an ap- pearance there up to 9. SO o'clook. At the NIcoll and Martlne headquarters of the Twenty-secon- d Assembly District, on Fourth ave- nue, between One Hundred and Twenty-fift- h and One Hundred and Twenty-sixt- h streets, the men were engaged In handing out Nlooll tickets and pasters to enthuslaatlo canvasser. The sime cheering reports of the prospects were given there, as at the head- quarters of the Nineteenth Assembly District, sev- eral blocks to the west. It wss said that there was apparently Uttlo trading going on. At the polloo station on One Hundred and Twenty-si- xth street it was said that no arrests tor Illegal voting had been mado up to 9 o'clook. THE rOLICB BEAUT. A patrol-wago- n standa at the door ot Polloo Headquarters ready for any emergenoy. Twelve policemen can be sent in It to any quarter of the city In a short time, should trouble oocur at any polling-plac- e. At the polling places on Mott, Houston, Bieecker streets, the Bowery and elsewhere In the vicinity of Police Headquarters, everything la very quiet. The lodging-hous- e tramps who were regis- tered by the hundreds to defeat the will of the honest voters look wistfully at the ballot-box- from a safe distance. The presence of the polloo and of the De Lancey Nlooll workers with full lists of the fraudulent voters deterred them from attempting to deposit ballots. Labor workers at the Mott street booths are dis- posing of a large number of NIcoll posters scores of the George men cutting Post for NIcoll. DURHAM! FOB NICOLL. In the Tenth Assembly District Col. Fellows Is running weak. The Independent Germane are voting solidly against him. NIcoll will get a big German Democratlo and Independent vote In this district. Police Justice Patterson and tho Republican machine appear to be working Nlooll straight. There are followers ot Henry O. Bott, who Is run- ning for Civil Justice, who are trading off Nlooll, bnt Justice Patterson says that Nicoll will carry the district. Police Commissioner McClave aays that in the Nineteenth Assembly District, whero he voted, seven out of ten Democrats called for De Lancey NIcoll ticket. He feels confident that Nicoll will win with aaso unless open and notorious bribery or rank treachery is resorted to by the bosses of tho Fellows crowd. BBOWN-BTO- SUrrOKT T0K NIOOLX. Mr. NIcoll polling the full Republican vote in the Seventh, Eleventh and Twenty-nr- st As- sembly Districts, whloh are Republican strong- holds. He is also securing fully eo per cent ot the Independent and the Democratlo vote. There has been a great demand for Nlooll pasters in that portion ot the city bounded by Fourteenth street, Harlem River and Eighth avenue.

Ontslda.ot themMr. Nlooll is receiving the votes of eight out ot ten Democrats. In the Grsmeroy Park part of the Third Assembly District Mr. NIcoll is polling the full Republican strength and EO per oent. of the Democratlo vote. In the lower part of the dlstriot he Is not receiving many Demooratio votes and tha Republicans are voting for Fallows. OUEBBINO NEWS FB01C THE TWENTT-TnTB- Mr. NIcoll will receive at least three thousand Democratlo votes in the Twenty-thir- d Assemby District, and It Is said that the Re- publicans, both machine and o, aro supporting him loyally. The Labor vote in this district will also bo strong. Soma of tbe leaders ot the Labor party think that their vote will be larger than that of Tammany Hall and the County Democracy. There is every indication that NIcoll will carry the Twenty-thir- d District by a round plurality. SLASHING JODOB LAWBENCE.

To an Evenino Wobld re- porter be said: \It is too early in the day to make a prophecy. I went around tha poll of the Eighteenth District this morning and found everything quiet I waa told by tha Tammany Hall and County Democrsoy workers that the Republicans were asking for Post patters. Mr. Nlooll will get some Democratlo votes In the western part of the dlstriot I dont think the Labor party is poll- ing as heavy a vote In my district as they did lsst year. Their vote has not yet coma out Probably the worklngmen may knock off work at noon to vote. Up to 10 o'clock tha Labor party was behind In tho Eighteenth Dlstriot I think Col. Fellows will bo eleoted. From whst I can hear Mr. NIcoll Is not getting much ot a vote below Fourteenth street Still, I maybe mistaken. The quiet vote la a very quiet vote. Ton do not know anfhing about that voto until It is counted.\ \SUED\ SHOOK TnlnOO KIOOLL WILL WTM. Latest reports from uptown go to show that NIcoll is polling tho bulk of he antl- - machine Democratlo rote, while a percentage of the Hepublcan down- town machine vote is said to have teen cast for Fellows. It is the general opinion of politicians who hare visited many of the uptown and downtown districts thst Mr. NIcoll will be elected it he polls tha votes of 85,000 Democrat. He can then afford to lose tht votes of 10,000 Republicans, \ It Is the quiet vote that will settle this fight,\ said Mr. Sheridan Shook at the Morton House at s o'clock. \ Tho shooters have voted for Col. Fellows. The people, Democrats, Republicans and Independents, who hsvovoted for Mr. NIcoll deposited their ballots and went about their busi- ness. I think Mr. Nlooll will be elected by this quiet vote.\ (Jot III Voto by niandamn. James Morton, of Bowery, went into the polling place ot the First Election District, In the Eighth Assembly District, st 8 Bayard street, this morning to vote. The Board of Inspectors refused to re- ceive his ballots on the ground that soma one had already voted in his name. Mr. Morton went down to the Supreme Court and Judge Donohua Issued a mandamus directing the Board to accept the vote. To the officer who served it the Inspectors said they would receive Morton's vote.

Prof. William Clark and Thomaa Moran dropped In later In tho day. A few reports of a general nature were sent In from uptown districts. One at t o'clook, from the Eighteenth, an- nounced thai tno Labor vote was already larger than at the same time last year, and that he friends of William J. Boyhan.the candidate for 'Alderman, and Andrew J. (Carson, the candldato for Assemblyman, wero aveeping everything be- fore them. Similar reports were reoeived from tha Seventh Senatorial District about Thomaa J. Ford, and the Fifteenth District announoed that Edward Conklln was whooping it up in his canvass for Assembly- man. Henry George, Dr. McQlynn and Louis F. Post started out early from the former's home In Harlem, In a carriage, and began the rounds of the polling places in the upper wards. It was wired down to Web- ster Hall from several voting precincts that the appearanco ot thote leaders of the party waa the signal for the gathering of crowds and a great deal of cheering. Indications were that tbe Labor vote will far ex- ceed that ot last fall. Reports from several election districts, notably In the Sixth, Ninth .and Fifteenth, of the Seventh Assembly District, indicated that tho Republicans were trading votes for Fellows In return for those cast by Democrats for Van Cott, tho Republican nomtneo for State Senator. Chairman McMackln said it was phtln that tho Republican managers had a deal on hand with Boss Power and other Democratlo moguls whereby NIcoll was being knifed In lieu of votes thrown for the Republican candidates for the Legisla- ture, tho object of the Republican leadora being to seouro control of both the Benato and the Assembly. Speaking of the effect of this deal on tha chances of Mr. Post, tha Chairman said ho thought it would add to Mr. Post's vote. Lawyer Augustus A. Levy, osndldsta tor Civil Justice In the Sixth Dlstriot, said that In the Third and Eleventh Assembly districts Post pistera were In great demand. Edward Illllen, S3 Rntgers street, reported that fraud was being perpetrated by men who were impersonating registered voters. Whon he went to tho Twelfth Election Precinct of the Fourth Assembly District to cast his ballot ho found that some one had been there before him and voted under his name Another similar case wss reported to the o, but no redress could be obtained by the men.

There was no open trading or complete sell out The Individual and enthuslaatlo friends of Will- iams were the ones who were guilty.

A bitter fight between the Republican factions U being waged In the Seventh Senatorial District. The followers ot Police Justice \Jake\ Patterson are trying to elect Frederlok P. Doerr to the Senate, while those of Chief John J. O'Brien, of the Bureau of Elections, are making mighty efforts to elect George J. Krauss. It Is openly charged thst trading Is being extensively carried on in the Interest of John It Fellows. The Domocrstlo bouts have surrounded the polls with workers, whose sole aim It Is to get votes for Fellows, and who offor the Republicans In return votes for Assemblyman, Benator, Alder- man and Civil Jnstloe. The Steokler-Uott- y fight also affords a fruitful opportunity for tho bosses to put In some of their lino work. Botty Is tho Republican nominee for Civil Justlco, but he Is greatly disliked In some quarters, while Steckler Is very popular. Botty's men freely offer votes for Fellows In return for support for their candidate. The biggest crowd In tho Eighth Assembly Dis- trict is gathered round the saloon of Charlts Smith. Independent llepubllcan candidate for Assombly. This district U part ot the Senatorial District Hit saloon Is at 8t Essex, next door to the polling plsco ot the Twelfth Eleoilon District At 10 o'clock this morning, at least sso men were crowded round the stoop of the polling plsce and the door ot the saloon, and rolls of bills were often seen In the hands of men of influence in the neighborhood. \ Barney \O'Rourke has a saloon next door to Smith's and was working equally hard against Smith and In favor of tbe Democratlo candidates, Philip Wlsslg and John R. Fellows. Half a dozen otCapt Allaire's policemen were seen smongthe crowd, but though It is against the law to allow people to oongregata In front of a polling place, they made not the slightest effort to drive the \ heelers\ away. Both O'Rourke mon and Smith men were ped- dling Fellows ballots. An Evenino World re- porter went to each of the seven boxes rsnged on tha sldawalk.but though Botty, Lsngbeln, Krauts, Doerr, Smith and Stickler were found on Republi- can, Democratlo and Labor bsllots indiscrimi- nately, not one contained the name ot De Lanoey NIcoll. Etlcnne Bayer, one of Capt. Allaire's word de- tectives, was one ot the moat persistent workers for Fellows In tho Eight District Ho spent the day pausing Irom one polling place to another with his pockets full of Republican and Demooratio ballots and Fellows pasters, Influenc- ing vptcs for John R. Fellows and Alfred Steckler. An Evenino World reporter saw him on the sidewalk near tho polling-plac- e in the Fourteenth Election District, at ST0 Broome street, accosu mg voters tn the Interest of Fellows and Steckler. He followed the voters into tho polling place and watched them deposit the bsllots he gave them. Then he came np the basement steps to the sidewalk and talked earnestly with other voters. Judge Steckler came np at the time, and Bayer whispered In his ear for soveral minutes. The reporter afterwards sawhlm buttonholing ss many as a dozen ward workers and voters. Many times ho drew ballots and pasters from his overcoat pocket and handed them to those he was talking with, Sometimes ho unfolded the ballots and held an animated conversation with tbe voter. Policeman No. 1,18, who was on dnty at the same pollIng3lace, was also very active. Ho was a tall German and the men gathered round the polling place seemed to know him very welt They ad- dressed him as \ Joe. \ The reporter saw him ap- proach voters In the same way as Bsyer hsd done. The reporter alau saw the pollccmsn approach Judge Steckler and overheard the following con- versation) Judge Steckler I want as many votes aa I can get In this district X am going to win, but I mutt not lose a single vote. Policeman No. 1, We No, Jndge. We wont lose you no votes. We will give you too majority here. The entrance to the polling place was surrounded by a crowd of more than a hundred men, contrary to law, but the policeman made no effort to dis- perse them. After the reports of the improper conduct of Capt Allaire's men at 81 Essex street had reached Headquarters Sergt Dihlgren went to the polling place with a squad ot men. He removed Police- man John J. Uerriok, who had been peddling ballots, and gave orders that \Barney\ O'Bourke's heelers should be kept at a distance. After the sergesnt left things got back into the same old rut There were six policemen in and around tho polling place, but they allowed men with bags of bsllots to accompany voters up to the ballot-boxo- s, and the heolers on the sldewalkwere as numerous and as cnergotlo aa before. Information soon reached Police Headquarters otthe conduct of Capt Allaire and his men and Supt Murray took prompt measures to prevent the police in the dlstriot from acting improperly. The Superintendent said that if any bluecoat, of- ficer or private, was proved to be acting In an of- fensively partisan manner he would be disciplined. The Republican State and County Committees wero spprlted of the treachery going on tn the dis- trict and scouts were sent out to see how far It has progressed and who was responsible for it Da Lancey Nicoll called at Pollco Headquarters at noon and had a conferenco with President Frenob. He said that he had reliable Information that the polloo In Capt AUialre't preclnc: were working agalnat him. \All I want,\ he sold, is fslr play and no favor.\ Mr. French sent for Inspector Williams,; snd began on investigation. John J. O'Brien said that as far aa he could learn, trading wss going on only la two district tn the Eighth Ward. \You may rest assured,\ be said, \that the Eighth will poll a big vote for NIcoll.\ At 11 o'clook, EUhu Root, Chairman of the Re- publican Central Committee) John J. O'Brien and President Frenoh were closoted together In the latter's room at Police Headquarters, It waa decided to aend for Barney O'Rourk at onoo, and to inform him that it he did aaymoro trading this afternoon be would ba expelled from the Republican District Committee at the next meeting. Cspt Allaire and Deteotlvs Bayer wero also sent for. Detective Beyer, when arraigned before Bupt Murray at J. 80 o'clock this afternoon, said that he hadn't peddled any tickets, but admitted having tickets In his hands near tne poll. \I was only showing a friend how I was going to vole,\ was his explanation of this. Supt Murray tent blm back to his station house with a warning to keep away from the polls. Tho othtr pollcotnen who were accused ot try- ing to Influence votes for Fellows were recallod to tho Eldridgo street station and put on houto duty. 'Barney \O'Rourke is notod for \selling out\ propenttttcs, having mado deals with Democrsts at every election. He sold out to the Tim Campbell crowd lasl year, and gave him the small majority he received. ORourke Is the real Ri publican leader ot tho Eighth, O'Brien being his figurehead. Police captatn Allaire Is a Republican and takes a very aotlve' part In all the campaigns. A few years ago ha wss summoned to Police Headquar- ters by CommUulonsr Voorhls and tho \ Riot act \ was read to him for permitting sergeants, roundsmen and patrolmen openly to work at the polls. Now thst he Is scented of helping Fellows, Commissioner Voorhls will not call him to his room for a repri- mand, but Commissioner MoClave has put on wsr pstnt snd will go for Allaire' scalp It he can seoure evldenoe of bis Interference to strengtbsn NIcoll. O'Rourke Is a confidential friend of Commissioner Frenoh.

On the booths In the First, Second and Fourth Election Districts aro banners announcing \NIcoll pasters to bo found here,\ and NIcoll Is polling a heavy vote. There were no NIcoll pasters In the Twenty-sixt- h, Twemy-sevent- h and Twenty-eight- h Election Dlttricta of tho Eighth. There waa much clamor for them and at 11 o'clock they were supplied through Chairman Green. Workers were also sent hero from tho Cltlzeni' headquarters and Nlcoll's prospects are excellent AT BEPDBLIOAN flEADQUARTEBS. Confidence Expressed That NIcoll and tho State Ticket Will be Elected. At the Republican headquarters In tha Fifth Avenue Hotel Secretary Bellamy, of tha Connty Committee, has held alavce all day to all manner of ;mcn who have lntereated themselves In one or more of the Republican candidates. They were from all political tactions, and a curious thing is that most ot them are work- ing for NIcoll. The reports received by Mr. Bel- lamy go to show that the leaders and captains are all pulling true for NIcoll except \Barney\ O'Rourke. \ Jimmy \ O'Brien and his friends, who boast that they got into the United Labor party, after a long struggle at the door, tor the express purpose of demoralizing the Democratlo party In behalf of the Republicans, are to-d- working for the Re- publican ticket from Grant to Bhca. They are putting in their work for the wholo ticket, and when Interrogated re- garding Nlcoll's ohanoes they said that he was getting a considerable slloa of the Labor vote in the Eleventh, Sixteenth and Eighteenth Assembly Districts.
