ladies were out in force und tho result
of their good work may bo seen in tho
First ward whero Brooks defcatad the
nogro Plttmore by a handsome ma-
jority. Tho saloons were tightly closed dur-
ing tho day and only two arrests for
drunkenness wero made At the
various voting precincts thcro wero no
disturbances and despito tho fact that
hordes of negroes surrouuded tho
polls longing and waiting for hand-
outs which they occasionally obtained
tho air was impregnated by Borenity.
The total number of votes cast in
the city was 1105; of these 205 wero

ing is the ofllclal vote:

Washington April 7. Tho Senate
spent tho entire day on the postofflce
appropriation bill but did not com-
plete it The bill served to bring out
some sharp criticisms by Senator Gor-
man on the administration of the post-
oillco department and by Senator
Allen of Nebraska on alleged irregu-
larities resulting from tho civil ser-
vice ByBtcm. Tho vote on tho post-
ofllce bill will be taken to-duy.
Mr. Allen spoke for tho retention of
the old system with its country post
masters and arraigned civil service as
farce. In this connection Mr. Allen
Bald: "The greatest mugwump of tho
day is in tho White House. It is diffi-
cult to say whether ho Is greater as a
mugwump or as Imperial Democratic
dictator. He has led tho hosts of
mugwumps in this country for ton or
fifteen years." Mr. Allen referred
also to "Toddy Roosevelt the great
Now York mugwump second only to
Cleveland himself."
The Senator severely criticised tho
action of tho president in removing
Civil Service Commissioner .lolinson
declaring that the president hud pur-
sued tho methods of .leffrcy and the
Old Balloy listening to tho whlspor-
ings of scandal mongers in order to
pitch a man out of office. This was
civil service a mere cloak by which a
president and membors of his cabinet
could carry out their own desires.
Again alluding to the president Mr.
Allen said: "Ho is a disgrace to tho
great ofllco ho occupies. He should
not and doubtless will not bo re-
turned to the position again." The
Senator rcforred to tho president as
"his majesty" correcting himself to
"his excellency."
Mr. Allen repeated many sensational
charges as to campaign contributions.
He said it had beon charged and not
denied that 8300000 had been raised
on Wall street to secure tho nomina-
tion of Cleveland In lsJ2 and n liko
amount to secure tiio nomination of
Mr. Harrison.
"How about McKinloy?" interjected
Mr. Gray.
"I have not road the latest roturns
as to McKinley hut I have them in my
desk and will reach them at a later
time" answored Mr. Allen lie went
onto say that tho Wall street con-
tributors woro in u quandary after
nominating Cleveland uiul Harmon
but llnallj turned to tho former be-
cause lie hud an olllce on Wull street
and contributed SI 400000 toward his
election. Of this amount John J. Vau
Allen gave $5o(KH and later received
the appointment of Minister to Italy.
This quid pro quo was civil service
reform.
Continuing r. Allen suid it was
charged and not denied that "the
groat und good Mr. Wannmaker su-
perintendent of a Sunday school gave
JI00.000 for tho eloction of Benjamin
Harrison to the Presidential olllce."
Shortly after this proceeded Mr xVl-
len tho President saw fit to invite tho
great and good John into his cabinet.
Mr. II u v ley Republican of I'on-
nccticut rose to btatc that he sup-
posed no one believed that Mr. Wana-
maker gave SiOO.000 for campaign
purposes. lie had circulated u paper
and secured subscriptions but it was
not a porsonul gut ami certainly
should not bring an intimidation Unit
cabinet offices had boeu bought.
Mr. Allen responded that the man
who was caught alwayn had an apol-
ogy. No denial had ever been made
to this charge until the sonntor from
Connecticut (Hawley) rose to deny it
Tho proposed postoffice consolida
tion was opposed by Senator Pnsco
