OHIO.

CLEVELAND, November 4th-The weather is
murky and threatening rain. Polls organized
peacefully throughout the city. heavy vote
was polled early, about the same time us at a
corresponding time in October.
CINCIsNATI November 4th-There is much
less excitement and interest and smaller crowds
about the polling places than at the october
election. st o'clock heavy cold rain set in
which had the effect to drive away all idlers
leaving only determined workers TO watch the
polls. No disturbance is reported anywhere
except at one precinct of the Eighth Ward
where colored man offered to vote, and, being
refused on account of non-residence, was
knocked down and driven away. There are no
officers apparent abou. the polls except the
regular police. In some places citizens COM
mittees are present designated by badges. 1t is
estimated that the rain will reduce the total
vote at least thousand below the October vote.
Eleven arrests for illegal voting have been made,
all colored men.
Norwalk Ohio, reports full vote, and Repub
licans claim large gain over the October cleo
ton, principally from the Irish votes. At Elyria
the vote is about the same as in the October
election. Butler gets twenty or thirty votes
and the Prohibitionists about fifty votes
CIsc1sNATI, November ith.-The quietness of
the election was broken in the afternoon about
o'clock in the Eighth Ward by refusal of the
bystanders at the polls, many Of whom were
armed with clubs, to permit the colored men to
vote. The voters thus DISTINGUISHED went to the
United States Marshal for advice, and this gave
rise to numerous rumors that the negroes were
going to organize, and with q force of Deputy
Marshals marched in a body to cast their votes
This brought a crowd to the polls, and the ex
citement was increased by the patrol wagons
fastening to the scene The negroes did not or
ganiZe and attempt to vote in body, and the
crowd gradually melted away. Soon after this,
at the other precincts of the same ward, a we'll
known citizen, John D. Caldwell, accompanied
colored man to the polls to vote. His vote
challenged and the judges were about to ex-
anime the man under oath, when the bystand-
ers forcibly elected the colored man from the
place The mob pursued, caught and beat him
until a half dozen or more policemen succeeded
in extricating the negro from their hands. Soon
after this challenged white voter was knocked
down by the same lawless bystanders. The
situation at both precincts in this ward from
that time till the polls closed was threatening,
and crowds lined the streets in the vicinity ex-
pecting disturbance. In the Eighteenth
Ward, in the afternoon, Peter Kelly stabbed
seriously, If not fatally, policeman Honeyman,
on duty at the polls. The proyocatiOn was that
Honeyman had struck Kelly's brother earlier i'll
the day.
