The Cincinnati daily star. [volume] ([Cincinnati, Ohio]) 1875-1880, 1878-10-08

Republicans are afraid of the Working
mems vote, the loss being in favor of the
Democrats Butterworth's chances are first
rate. The Democrats are polling lively
vote for Montgomery. The ward is Repub-
lican by 900 to 700 majority Maley and
Johnston are being badly scratched, and
Weber is getting the largest vote of any
candidate in the field
Twelfth Ward-Goss has no show. Maley
is being badly, and Matson and Hopper
slightly, scratched. The principal scratch
ing is being done in the First Precinct. The
fight is on the Congressman, and Young is
running far ahead
Thirteenth Ward-Will go Democraticby
large majority. In the First Precinct the
fight is on Maley, who is being fearfully
scratched Goss is solid here. Not so, how
ever in the Second where Young will have
a swooping majority. The Democratic can
didates for Magistrates are losing ground.
In the Second Precinct the vote OH the
whole ticket is close one as to partisan
votes. Matson is all right, and Hopper is
being only slightly scratched.
Fifteenth Ward-There is disposition
in this ward to scratch the names of Maley,
Johnston and Matson, and one or two of
the Justices on the Democratic ticket; while
the Republican ticket, for the most part, is
being voted straight
Sixteenth Ward-There is less scratching
in this ward than in the most of the sur
rounding wards. Johnston will receive q
full vote, but Maley and Hopper little
behind.
Seventeenth Ward-Fayette Smith will
doubtless run ahead of his ticket in this
Ward, and Carrick and Zumstein will not be
far behind him. The names of Johnston and
Weber are both being scratched in few in
stances, and the Justices are meeting with
similar fate.
Nineteenth Ward-In this ward the Re-
pubicans are voting straighter ticket than
the Democrats. Maley is being scratched
and Hopper still more A few Republicans
are voting for Goss and few Democrats for
Young, and if either party is the gamer it
is the Republican candidate. Johnston is
polling full VOTE and Hunt, with few
exceptions, will receive the votes of his
party.
Eighteenth Ward-At 12 o'clock it was a
current report that Johnston, for Sheriff, was
running ahead and Maley carrying flying
colors. In the lower precinct the contest
will be very close, and in the upper the
Democrats are working hard, SO that little
| can be conjectured as to the issue.
Twentieth Ward-There is less scratching
in the Second Precinct, but what there is
done is generally OH the names of Maley
and Johnston.
The First Precinct of the this
Ward will probably carry the Republican
ticket. In the Second Precinct Weber and
Young show gains. Maley in this precinct
is almost Ii orally obliterated from the DEM
ocratic ticket.
Twenty-frst Ward-In the First Precinct
Goss is running behind his ticket.
Maley is receiving few scratches.
and Johnston, for Sheriff, is at
a decided discount. In the Second Pre-
cinct tickets are voted pretty straight ard
both parties are confident Of carrying the
precinct.
Twenty-second Ward-Maley and Matson
are running behind their ticket in this
ward while Goss is going little ahead
Twenty-third Ward-Goss, on the Demo-
cratic ticket and Montgomery and CarricI,
on the Republican, are taking the lead in
this ward.
Twenty-fourth Ward-The Democrats are
not scratching to any great extent. john
ston looms up brightly, and so does Carrick
Tor Coroner. The race between Goss and
| Young will be close, with the chances in
favor of the latter. Matson will not be be-
hind the ticket.
Twenty-ffth Ward - The Republicans
claim their ticket by majority of little
over 100 votes. Hopper is falling behind,
and the contest between Goss and Young
is bitter one. 1t can not be said who is to
win The chances however, are against
Goss. MatSon has many friends here and
expects to carry the ward. Weber feels
confident of getting majority.
INCIDENTS AT THE POLLS.
In the Seventh Ward shortly be-
fore noon row came near break
ing out in the First Precinct. The
Republican Marshal refused to let Patrick
Swift, an inmate of the City Infirmary,
vote. The Democrats claimed that his
residence was in the ward, and
had voted at six previous elections. He
was finally taken to Bremen street, although
Nelson Sayler, Joe Setter and the Demo
cratic Supervisor objected most bitterly.
David Mckelvey, youth twenty-one
years, OF age from Pittsburg, Pa, was ar
rested and locked up at the Ninth-S rect
Station by Deputy United Sta es Marshal
Craven, on the charge of illegal voting at
the Second Precinct of the Eighteenth
Ward
James Wilson, a colored man. was pulled
out of crowd at the polls at the Fours En-
CINE house, in the Sixth Ward, with mur-
derous dirk-knife in his pocket. The blade
of the weapon measured seven inches in
length. He was taken to the Hammond
street Station, but he was shortly afterward
released without giving bail by order of
Acting Police Judge Jimmy Fitzgerald.
Philip Louis, who came from Cleveland
yesterday, and Peter Smith from the In
firmary, were arrested by U. s. Marshal
to-day for illegal voting Nelson Sayler,
the brother of Milton Sayler, appeared in
behalf of the prisoners before Commis-
sioner Hooper, and had their cases con
tinued until tomorrow afternoon.
