QUIET AND NO SCRATCHING AT COLUMBUS.
Special to the Star.
| COLUMBUS, Oct. 14.-Election day here
opened clear and cool, but as noon ap.
preached it grew warmer, until it is now
750 in the shade. The voting began steady
and up to noon has continued so. Contrary
to the general expectation, there was little
or no scratching. 4l..
Voters of both parties are voting straight
tickets. In the city the. State ticket is lost
sight of in the fight for Sheriff, and the
war in this direction is being waged with
frantic zeal. No intelligent conclusion can
be formed at the present writing, from the
fact that majority of the voters bring
tickets to the polls in their vest pockets,
vote the same and go away. .-e IT,.
There is little or no electioneering, and
the Seitz law is having benefcent effect
on would-be crooked parties. Very little
drinking is going on, and no fights have oc
CURED up to noon. Members of the Re
publican Challenging Committee had one
Charles Dooenford, who claims home in
Cincinnati, arrested, charged with illegal
votilrg.. Dooenford is in the Station-house
Ther of the Democratic and Repub
lican County Committees are deserted
while the room Of the Democratic Sta te
Conn mittee is locked. The Republican
State headquarters are open, but no one is
in except the clerk and newspaper men.
There are no rumors on the street. and
away from the polls strangers could not
tell an election was progressing. The num-
Der Of votes polled up to noon is estimated
at from 1000 to 5000.
Business is dead and work in the State
and county offices is at dead lock. Unles:
something transpires between this and
evening the election to-day will be one ei
the most quiet ever held here Both par
ties are still sanguine and hopeful, and
claim the county and State ticket from
2,00O.to 10000 majority. Knowing ones
say the prospects of the Democratic Coun
ty ticket here have grown better within the
last twenty-four hours than at any time
during the campaign.
QUIET AT CLEVELAND. ~
