The Ohio Election.

Columbus, Ohio, October o.
The election to-day vas for state Off
GERS entire, with the exception of the
secretary of state, for members of
the legislature and to vote on three con
stitutional amendments. Comparisons
are made with the vote for Secretary of
State Newman in 1882. The amend
ment to carry will have to receive the
majority of all the votesIcast for COVER
nor.
The weather was fine in all parts Of
the state and indications point to the
largest vote wei polled in this state.
The representatives of both parties
are interested in the second amend
ment, but it is believed it will get COM
psratively a light vote from what has
been claimed for it.
At the republican headquarters they
announce a straight ticket being voted
with a great deal of scratching being
done by the democrats. More than
half of the entire vote was polled at
noon.
Cincinnati, October a. Women
have appeared at some of the polling
places, asking votes for the second
amendment, ministers and prominent
church members also attending the
polls for the same purpose. The dem
ocratic tickets were printed with a note
against this amendment. The republi-
cans had ''yes'' and mo- printed on
theirs so that the person desiring to
vote for it must erase mo" 1t is not
likely the amendment will receive any
thing near amajority in this county,
but will get a much larger vote than
the prohibitionists usually poll, allow.
ing for the length of the; ticket and
amount of scratching.
Cleveland, October GA heavy vote
had been polled at noon. The demo.
Gratis claim 1000 majority in the city.
The republicans concede 5000. The
second amendment workers are very
active and have headquarters at every
ward, except the third, and in most OF
the precincts. Ladies industriously
peddle both tickets impartially to get
votes for prohibition. Coffee and cake
are served to whoever is thought to be
favorable to the cause. Mrs. j.. Ellen
Foster, of Iowa, the reputed author Of
the prohibition enactment of that state,
is on the ground going from ward to
ward in a carriage directing the tenn
perance forces. Notices are profusely
displayed at the second amendment
headquarters like "Betty and the BABY
vs.. Doodle and Beer;'' "Vote for the
Second Amendment and Down Will &c
the Saloon and Taxes, and Up &c
Home and Our Boys;' ''Vote for HON,
and the Babies" The ladies weal
badges with tins state coat-of-arms ant
the inscription: Second Amendment
For God and Home and Our Native
Land" A large majority against boil
amendments is probable here.
