In a local way tha elec tion hold hero to-day ban had more element ! of an exciting nature about it than any heretofore toforo held in years. The palpable ballot-bos stalling at the recent national election , the cumulative proof that great frauds wore per petroled when Carter Harrison ran for mayoi two yaars ago , and thn fact that Uarrisor only offered lame excuses for the rascalities of the "Gno workers , " made the present cam paign ono largely of the respectable element against the garnbloM and disreputables , SURE U'nONALD , TUB OAMBLER , who baa confessedly amassed a fortune of hall a million during the Harrisonian reign , wai the leading spirit in the conventions whict have benn succ'ii lively nominated by Harrf son , and was particularly prominent in thi last convention. Harrison has the enlargoi police force tmlalltbo other city dopartmonti to aid him , and money bas Doen spent liber ally to make his canvas in this instance auc cossful , as it has been recognized that if Sidney noy Smitn was elected it would be as ono ol the fraternity expressed it , "good day to the gamblers.

A reign of terror prevailed in the rivordii trict of the Ninth ward , whore several demo cratic toughs challenged every republica voter , and would take their tickets out c their hands aud substituted democratic one : handing them to the judge , who willingly n celved them. Two policemen on duty de fended and protected the toughs.
