.a. ment in Iowa.
The political fight between the different
parties comes to focus to-day. The forces
of the Democrats and Republicans are out
in full strength, and even the Socialists
are not holding back, but have out ticket
OF their own.
The polls were comfortably crowded this
morning when the tap of the fire bells an
nounced the time of opening.
The laborers we're on hand and voted
early, It was noted that throughout the
day considerable scratching would be done.
On the Republican side men would quietly
take tickets and erase the name o. Captain
George w. Williams, the colored candidate
for the House of Representatives. The
name of his opponent, however, was not
generally substituted
The Democrats were scratching Mr.. Lewis
@. Bernard, the candidate for Clerk OF the
Court of Common Pleas. His friends,
however, assert that he will pull through
safely.
Hardly any attention is being paid to the
Constitutional Amendments AS rule,
most voters are tearing that portion of the
ticket off, or else voting on all OF them.
It is evident from the start that the Amend
ments will be laid out.
The offers of bets last night on the result
was principally made by the Republicans,
who were giving odds Of five to one on Eos
ter getting majority of 1000 in the
county.
The weather is magnificent, and it may
be relied upon that full vote will be
polled.
Everything at an early hour was quiet
and orderly at the polls, and there is no
drunkenness to be seen.
1t was alleged that several bands of re-
peaters have come over from Kentucky,
and that last night they were housed on
Central avenue near Fourth street. The
Republicans claimed that they were Demo
cratic importations, whereas the Demo
Gratis denied the impeachment.
The police are out in numbers, several OF
them being at each voting precinct. They
have strict orders not to interfere with the
voting nor mix into political discussions.
No arrests will be made until necessity de-
mands it.
