CHICAGO , April 7. 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 ,

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. " On the part of the citizens , < i
"committee of public safety" wai organized
and liberal sums of money contributed
to prevent fraud at the polls. II
possible , and to detect and prosecute the per
petrators after election. The day passed of
with the usual number of disturbances occur
ring at the polls , and at some of the dowi
town democratic wards
THERE WAS FIERCK FIUI1I1NO.
The policejwero found to bo inefficient in man ;
instances and aided democratic challengers ii
some of the tough districts to drive away th
republican challengers and offered no protec
tion to any of the latter. There are charge
of fraud to-night but the committee of publi
nafoty declare they have already sufficient ev
idence to send a number of well known election
tion rounders to the penitentiary. In th
first ward the gamblers htd almost suprem
control. At nno of the precinct

were scenes of tha greatest confusion and pa' '
pable fraud. The judgdj were usually of th
gambling fraternity and the low sportln
class. It was here thut the citizens commltte
placed a largo number of their watchers in th
expectation of preventing the wholesale fraud
but some of the operations were of a bold no

A reign of terror prevailed in the rivordii
trict of the Ninth ward , whore several demo

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. The corn
mittae of public safety notified Sheriff Hai
chett that help was needed at this precinct
The sheriff communicated with Cnief oi Pa
lice. Doyle , who mid hu would look after th
matter , and ho did BO by sending Capt , Bon
field to tha ecene , but thu perpetrators of th
outrage were not arreited. At one time i
appeared as though a riot mieht bo preclp

committee appeared in force nad talko
open violence , but their numbers prevents
any further outrages in this particular d !

the steps of General Grant's house and rushed
towarails the telegraph ofllce on Madison ave
nue near Sixth street. The lad held in his
hand two notes , ono addressed to Dr. H. B ,
Sands , and tbo other to Dr. George F , Shrady ,
A few minutes after another mes.enger boj
rushed out of the Grant residence bearing
notes for Senator CbafToo , General Eadeau and
llov. Dr. Newman. General Badeau was
first to arrive , beiug driven rapidly
in caniage to the door , ho immediately rushed
up the stairs , was admitted and proceeded a <
once to Gen. Grant's room , A horse at full
gallop dragged tlio coupe of | Dr. Shrady ur
to the door at 6:50 : a. m , A few minutes latei
Dr. Sands'amved bearing n case of instiu
ments , although It was learned afterward !
that no surgical operation was necessary , U ,
S. Grant , Jr. , and Senator dialled reached
the house about 5:50 : , evidently in great per-
tubation. Dr. Shrady. in response to a ques
tlon , said that Dr. Douglas was quietly sitting
by Gen. Grant , when the latter suddenly hai
a slight hemmorrhage of the throat. Dr. Doug
las took such measures as were necessary and
sent for Dr. Sands and Shrady.
Gen. Grant said : "There is nouso in send
ing for the other doctors ; you are enough.1'

and then wiped the traces from his face witl
his hand , and appeared calm and collected
Senator Chaffuo left the house at 6:15. : Hi
said : "He has hod an injection of inorphit
at 6 a. m. , and I think he will live throng !
the day. Ho lost a teacupful of blood. Hi
was so collected that ho directed those attend
ing him to hold the vessel so that no blooi
would rench the floor. " Dr. Shrady at '
o'clock said that Gen. Grant was asleo ;
and that ho was doing as well as could bo ex
pected under the circumstances , lie also sau
that Dr. Douglas was taking his much needet
rcat. The hemmorrharo ; in Gen. Grant's tnroa
this morning was an incident that had beet
feared by those nearest to the patient. Thi
immediate result was not strangulation , a ;
had been feared by those in attendance ant
by the general bimeelf. Just what the re
sult would hayo been by the general condi
tiou of the patieut could not bo foretold ii
the morning , but at 8:30 : there wni
no percoptablo change of ability , 01
change caused by the lofts of blood. It is oi
course possible that the crisis may occur to
day , bnt the probability of such a turn durinf
daylight is scarcely entertained among thosi
best posted as to the general's condition
Senator Chaffee's opinion this morning is tha
Gen. Grant may not die during the day , am
such is the opinion of well posted persons
who have no incentive or bent to alarm
although all hold themselves in readiness fo
the critical developments. The homorrhapi
of this morning in General Giant's throat wa
of arterial blood. The General does not seen
to bo at ell alarmed , and the family was no
very greatly frightened , Thu hemorrhage wa
due somewhat to the increase of the disease
and was induced by a momentary fit of cough

THE UNITED STATES.
LONDON , April 7. The foreign oflico hai
published the correspondence respecting thi
negotiations of Great Britain and theUuitec
States for a commercial treaty , to control the
trade with the Britibh West Indies. The firs
document is a letter from Lord Granvllle
British foreign secretary , to the Hon. L
Sackvillo West. British minister at Washinc
ton. The letter is dated October 25th , 188-1
Lord Granville states that the British Wes' '
Indian colonies are wiling to abolish thi
duties on bread , buacuit , butter , meats of al
kinds , flour , lard , lumber , kerosene oil. moa
and oil cake , on condition that the Unltec
States should reduce the duty on sugar a1
least ono-half. Some of the colonies are alsc
willing to abolish the dutie ,
on bams , meats , shocks , ant
staves. Minister West wrote to Granvilli
under the date of November , 20 , 18S4 , tha
the United States desired a wider basis for d
treaty , also that the advantages concnded t <
the United States should not be concedct
gratis to any third party , under favored na
tional clauses.
On the 4th of December Minister West for
warded to Lord Granville Secretary Kreling-
huysen's draft of a counter treaty , This is
an elaborate document in which IpO articlei
are scheduled and in which the Unhurt Statoi
agrees to abolish the duty on sugar under gradi
of No. 1G. In the letter accompanying tbii
draft Secretary 1'rolinghuyson insisted upoc
the exclusion of third parties as Indispensable
Sir John Lubbock estimated that the pro
posed treaty would cause a loss of revenue t <
the United States of iUf)03,000 ! per annum
while tbo colonies would lose 1'ibO.OOO. Hi
strongly urged the acceptance of the Ameri
can proposition , and Minister West en
dorsed his views. On February 12 , 1885
Lord Granville wrote to Minister West tha
It was impossible to accept the pro
posals of the Unitnd States. He sal ;
they would revolutionize the conventiona
stipulations which govern commerce. Al
nations would render the favored nation clausi
n fruitful subject of dispute , and would In
fringe upon the international law. Lori
Granrille minutely criticised the points of tb
proposed treaty. He expressed a regret tha
ho was compelled to reject it , and bis hop
that an agreement would bo effected sooner o
later. Grauvillo forwarded a copy of this doa
patch to the colonial oflico accompanied by i
note , on which he said that the concession
proposed by the United States were more at :
parent than real , and that tbo proposal
locked the essential element of stability.
