H7 D.. Closing of the Polls.
COLUMBUS; October Reports from oil
over the State received up to three O'Clock
say the weather is fine and the full strength
OF both parties is coming out. The Re.
publicans now claim that they have evil
dences oi gains in this city sufficient TO
carry 1t by small majority. The county
as whole will, however, undoubtedly go
Democratic. The vote OF manufacturing
establishments is said to be almost uni.
formly Republican. Straight tickets are
being voted and the scratching is on local
officers. .4-tcs
The saloons are closed by order oil the
Council and there Is no drunkenness. Old
residents say the election is as quiet as
ever known. There are few strangers
in the city bnt the late trains will he
loaded with people coming here to get the
early returns. Two arrests have so far been
made, one Republican and the other
Democrat. In both instances the question
is as to the place OF residence and is
technical one, go that no prosecution Ia
likely to ensue. AT the Republican head
quarters reports have been read from sew.
eral towns and precincts which give
ground for expecting Republican gains.
Nothing has been received At Democratic
Headquarters which would indicate the
drift OF the voting, but John G. Thompson
says that victory ia certain for the Demo-
cratic party II q fair vote Is had. A re-
markable feature OF the days work has
been the appearance at the polls Of the
better men OF either party, who ssssted at
organization early In the morning and
have shown unflagging interest ever since.
Many OF these men have not taken an
active part in politics for years. There is
no Greenback or Prohibitionist vote worth
mentioning in this locality.
