wasting the State, that he had never seen such
intense interest manifested in politics since
1910. All reports received up to this hour
indicate that this intensity Of feeling con-
tinues, and an enormous vote is being
polled. Each party is striving, not only to
get In all their votes, but to get them In
early. II Is understood that Ohio Is regard
ed as the battle ground, and on the issue Of
to day will depend the conduct of the next
three weeks Of the campaign. The polls
are closely watched by deputy sheri ffs rep
resenting the Democrats and deputy U. s.
marshals and citizens committees the Re
publicans. A large number Of repeaters
have already been arrested by deputy mar
shals, and they are being guarded in the gov
eminent building. A number Of these were
brought in . patrol wagon by the police,
which added TO the excitement. There has
been considerable shooting in the 9th, stb,
marshal shot a deputy sheriff in the head,
causing q severe but not fatal wound. In
the 18th, . Democratic ward, there is great
excitement because Of the large number OF
Republicans votes being polled.
Citizens Of Glendale report that early this
morning . large number Of Irish voted the
Republican ticket. While the ticket to be
voted is State, local and Congressional, the
ted. Hence the vote will be large, aud will
probably reach SOC, 900 in the aggregate. The
The State candidates are Secretary Of State,
Judge of the Supreme Court, and members
of the Board of Public Works. The Demo.
cratic candidate for Secretary is the present
incumbent, Mr.. Newman, and the Republic

COLUMBUS, Oct. 1.-The weather is very
bright and clear to-day, with cool breeze
and everything favorable for a full vote,
which Is being polled. No disturbances of
any consequence have been reported in this
city beyond the arrest of few strangers for
trying to vote and others for disorderly con-
| duct.
CLEVELAND, Oct. IA. - The weather
throughout the Western Reserve is beautiful
and there Is every indication that a very
large vote will be polled. There Is no unu-
susl excitement beside working earnestly.
From local indcaii ions and information
received at the headquarters of the Repub-
| lican committee, 1t Is estimated that three
| fourths of the vote in the cities was polled
| by noon. The weather Is considered favor
able to the Republicans in the rural districts.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 14.-The report that
Fox Anderson was killed in the 9th ward is
no: true. He had an alteration, but was
not seriously hurt. Large crowds are gath
cred at many of the polling places, and the
air Is full of rumors of expected outbreaks.
The polling Of votes continues rapidly, aud
| In many places more than half the total vote
was cast before noon. In the U. s. Court
room Commissioners Harper ard Probasco
have already committed q men charged with
illegal voting. Shortly before noon A. l..
Russell In the 18th ward, who had been
fourishing pistol about the vicinity Of the
polls, was shot by deputy marshal aud in
stantly killed.
At noon the poll was proceeding quietly
in nearly all the wards. There is a large
crowd about the U. S. Government building,
attracted by curiosity and by the almost con-
slant arrival Of men arrested for illegal vo-
ting. a.
The policemen before the U. S. Commits
sioner were released on bonds. The city is
feverish with excitement. Many arrests have
been made at the polls for illegal voting, and
challenging is carried to greater extent than
ever before. Slight collisions have taken
place in several wards, but the worst so far
has been In the 9th, where, early this morn
ing, one of Plnkerton's detectives was badly
beaten. A report came from the 18th ward
! that the deputy sheriffs had overpowered the
deputy marshals and were refusing to allow
any negroes TO vote. The U. S. Marshal sent
an additional number of deputies to the
scene. The weather is delightful and pleas
ant, aud very large vote has been polled.
Men about the polls say there Is very little
scratching. Everywhere great earnestness is
manifested. 90"
CINCINNATI, Oct. 14.-At 2:20 o'clock the
city continues to be fairly quiet. Nearly
100 men have been brought before the U. S.
Commissioners for illegal voting and been
sent to Jail or released on bond. Habeas
corpus proceedings are used In some instan.
ces to get them out Of Jail. Arrests are also
made by police and deputy sherifs and the
same course Is pursued to release their pris-
oners. There has been no general disturb
ance since the rush at the 9Th ward polls,
and the confidence is growing that the day
may pass peaceably. Still there are fears of
violence about the time of closing the polls
at p. m. Indications point rather to peace.
1t Is evident the vote will be the largest ever
cast. Similar reports cont nue. to come from
outside points. -s
