day was for the State off ;ers entire, with the
exception of Secretary of State, for members
of the Legislature, and q vote on three con-
stitutional amendments, as follows: The

The comparisons ara made with the vote for
Secretary of State Newman in 1882 The
amendment, to carry, will have to receive q
ms ority of all the votes cast for Governor.

and the indications point to the largest vote
ever polled in the Stste-consequentl the re-
turns will be slow in coming in.
CINCINNATI, October 9sh.-In Southern
Ohio the weather is mild and pleasant, and
favorable to full turnout of voters. So far
as heard from here the poll is the heaviest in
the Republican wards. As to how the vote
is going, no one can do more than guess, as
the ballot is secret and no counting is done
till after P. NJ The women have appeared
at some of the polling places asking votes for
the second amendment. Ministers and promi.
nent church members are also attending the
polls for the same purpose. The Democratic
tickets are printed with "sgainst this amend
mert" The Republican tickets are printed
with a "yes" and "no, so that person
desiring to vote for it must erase "no." 1t
is not likely the amendment will receive any
thing near majority in this county, but it
will get much larger vote than the prohobi-
tionists usually poll. Owing to the length of
the ticket and the amount of scratching the
reports tonight will be late and incomplete.
CLEVELAND, October 9th.-A heavy vote is
being polled. At noon the Democrats claim
4, 900 in the city. ThefRepublicans concede
8, 900. The second amendment workers are
very active. They have headquarters at every
ward, except the Third, and in most precincts
The ladies industriously peddle both tickets
impartially, to get votes for prohibition.

on the ground, going from ward to ward in q

bulletin about the second amend.
ment vote il received with vociferous applause
and waving of handkerchief. The ladies'
eyes were opened to much of the arts and
practices of ward politicians to-day. and their
recitals of experience are highly amusing.
One good woman was inexpressibly shocked.
She said: 1t is perfectly wonderful how
dreadful and untruthful gentlemen are." AS
far ss learned, no indignities were offered the
ladies at the polls anywhere but when the
novelty Of their presence wore off, little at
tention was paid to them by the busy and
turbulent hustlers of both parties.

257 wards and percincts have been received
at 1920 P. NJ. and give net Republican gain

ciucts of the 103 in this county give Re.
publican gain of 1,577. This is on Governor.

the county to Hosdly for Governor by q
small majority.

claimed everything in the city and town.
ships but as the counting progressed the
Republicans grew more hop ful, and the
Democrats began TO be doubtful. At /
o'clock no ward had been fully counted, and
it is not likely that the result in the city car
be ascertsined definitely before morning
but enough is known to show that the
Democrats lost and gained where leased ex
pected. Probably the Democrats elect most
perhsps all, the county candidates, but part
of the Legislative ticket is in doubt, and the
Democrats concede loss in the county Of
LOO. A jubilee meeting was held in the
Tabernacle tonight by the Women's Chris
tian Temperance Union. Telegraphic re-
turns from the county show that two Repub
lican Representatives are elected, and Re
publican Senator is probably elected.
