The Cincinnati daily star. [volume] ([Cincinnati, Ohio]) 1875-1880, 1875-10-12


The German vote is in the preponderance,
however, the prospects are not so en-
as were hoped for by many.
A leading Republican said to STAR
man this morning, 1.-THE vote this year
will make different showing than that
of last"
SHOW soW
"We will carry nearly the entire Ger
man vote, which was lost to US last
year."
"Do you think that the rag.money idea
will gain many votes for the other sider'
"NO. The only ones that will be at.
fected by that are the class out OF en-
who are always out OF MONEY
anyhow, and they were with the other
party BEFORE"
"Have not the Democrats pushed the
more vigorously than your
menW
"They have held more public meetings,
made greater demonstrations, but their
work has not been half as thorough.
Our work has been more quiet, but to-
day will prove that 1t has'been more ef-
fective."
"What do you mean by quiet workw
81 mean private argumentative logical
reasoning and quiet button-h0le discus
sions, which will result In quiet vest
pocket yotes.' Our speech-making has
been good and carried weight with 1t.
No speech made during the campaign
made as many votes for our party as did
that of Carl Schurz."
"What do you expect as to the re-
sults"
Il expect very close vote in the city
and a victory in the county"
"About the Stater
IL expect Republican victory by from
fifteen to twenty-five thousand majority.
1 know Of Allen men who are betting two
to one on Hayes"
STAR reporters visited the voting
places in the city between the hours Of
IL and'2 O'Clock to-day, obtaining the
number OF votes cast and the prospects
SO far as it was possible to judge from
the reports and observations.
FIRST WARD.
First Preciuct-Votes cast, 1877. This
precinct one year ago gave but 269 votes,
with majority OF 7 for the Republican
ticket. Last spring it polled 800, with a
Democratic majority of 10. To-day both
parties are claiming it, but the probabil.
tiles are in favor of the Republicans. 1t
will probably poll over 400 votes.
Second PrecInct-Votes cast, 402, with
probably not over ten majority on either
side. The precinct last spring polled
800, with light majority for the Demo-
cratic ticket, Cary excepted.
Third Precinct-Votes cast, 1863. The
Republicans claim majority thus far
ana probably have it. The ward will be
likely to give Republican majority OF
from Is to Ito.
Fourth Precinct-VOtes cast, 1923, with
a Democratic majority Of from ten to
twenty five. The precinct last spring
gave johnson a majority Of 105. Allen
will have over halt the votes this year,
but not more than sixty-fye.
SECOND WARD.
First Precinct--Votes cast, 800, with a
majority conceded TOR the Republicans
The ward last spring gave Robinson a
majority of 100, aud tits claimed by the
Republicans, that their majority will ex-
ceed that to-day. The Democrats, how.
ever, are hopeful and predict vic
tory in the whole ward. Wise is run
ming ahead here, and Humphreys is also
largely ahead.
Second Precinct-V otes cast, LAT. Both
parlies claim majority. The vote will
be close in this ward. The Republicans
were "a ahead last spring. The Demo.
Gratis claim that they will carry the pre-
cinct to-day. The precinct gave 3l4
votes last spring, and will probably ex.
ceed that number to-day.
THIRD WARD.
First Precinct-Vote cast, 467. This
precinct last spring gave a Democratic
majority of 10, but is claimed by from 100
to $50 by the Republicans, as many OF
the German voters are declaring for
Hayes and hard money. The Democrats
concede q light Republican majority.
The vote will be full and will probably
70 heavily Republican.
Second Precinct-Vo otes cast, 3S7. This
precinct is difficult to estimate, as a con.
siderable portion Of the German vote that
was given to Johnston last spring is on
the Republican side to-day. The vote
last spring was 1876, with majority OF
673 for Johnston. The Republicans claim
that the vote will be nearly even, while
The Democrats think they will not lose
more than 80 or 75 votes. The Third
ward Will to-day poll nearly 1880 votes.
FOURTH WARD.
First Precinct-Votes cast, 493. Dem
ocrats largely ahead, and it is claimed
gaining on the vote of last year. The
Democratic majority last year was 667,
in total vote of LOST. The Republicans
are hopeful, and think they will reduce
the majority by from % to 70. Excite
ment is running high. Geghan and Cary
are being scratched somewhat.
Second Precinct-Votes cast, 307. The
vote will probably run about parallel
with that of last year. Humphreys is
slightly ahead, and the general impress
sion is that Cary is being badly cut. The
vote will be very evenly divided.
FIFTH WARD.
First Precinot-Votes cast, 242. The
contest is close and exciting here. Both
parties are out in full force and ralIying
up the voters everywhere. Stephens is
making good run here, and there is not
. great amount OF scratching being done.
The precinct polled 800 votes last spring,
and from present appearances will equal
that vote.
Second Precinct-Votes cast, 800; The
Democrats are considerably in the. ma
Ority here, but the Republicans claim
mat they will reduce the majority of
ast year one-third. Cary is suffering
BADLY. NoUfe and Stephens are keeping
up with the ticket pretty well here. Mat
son is perhaps little ahead, and will
be elected. The precinct
asst spring polled $50 votes, and will ev-
IDENTIFY give about the same number to.
lay.
