| Ihe election IS over, and the bal
lots are being counted. The vote is
, heavier than last year. There was
considerable scratching done on
Prosecuting Attorney, especially in
the German wards, and Delany, the
Democratic candidate, will run con-
siderably behind his ticket. There
was some trouble in several wards.
The polls were being surrounded by
Democratic roughs, who were deter
mined on preventing any one having
a visible admixture of African blood
from voting. A colored man who
attempted to vote in the Eighth Ward
was chased away and pursued some
distance. lie sought refuge from the
infuriated mob behind a party OF
gentlemen, who were conversing to
gether on the sidewalk. The roughs
attacked the party, and badly bruised
and wounded, DR.. James Ill. Coulter
and Ill. F. Booth, two of our leading
citizens. DIR. Coulter had his nose
broken, and had to be carried home
In the Third Ward MIR. Carlisle was
severely cut in the head by another
gang. A Republican was also as
saulted in the Ninth Ward. No ar
rests were made.

wards and townships in this county

oil 800. The majority in the county
will be over 5000.

Dayton, October l3.--Vallandig-
ham, the Probate Judge, and Prose
cutting Attorney. were all present at
the Soldiers Home place Of voting,
today, 10 challenge the votes of the
inmates of the Home, Vallandie ham
being chief.
At four o'clock $50 votes had been
pOlled, and 249 of those were open
Republican ballots The object in
challenging was doubtless TO cause
delay, that the fewest number might
be pOlled, but Mr.. Gunckel, the
soldiers friend, was present and
pushed things so that nearly all ap
piled, though many were rejected,
for reasons that only Copperhead
judges would entertain.
Several soldiers, who waited at
the door from sunrise to three
o'clock, grew weary and dishearten-
ed, and went away.
