there being but few disturbances, and
those due to the appointment of
special police by republican mayor
and deputies by democratic sheriff.
In one precinct there was conflict of
authority, resulting in the arrest Of a
deputy sheriff by the police. There
was sharp fight for organization at
the polls, the number of citizens turn
ing out being unprecedented. Bands
and drums paraded the streets at day
break, awakening the voters. The
vote was the heaviest ever polled in
the city. The republicans have the
city. The republicans are wild
with enthusiasm, parading the
streets in crowds, while the famous
Blaine and Logan glee club is singing
in the city hall, which is packed in
every part A fence has been built
on the stage to protect the committee
from the pressure Of the crowd, who
are cheering SO loudly as to be heard
all over the city.

hall is much smaller than the repub-

The Day at Cleveland.
election passed off quietly notwith-
standing it excited great interest. A
heavy vote was polled and great
amount of ticket scratching. The
excitement at the opening of the
polls was intense. Members of both
the great parties were watchful of the
interests of themselves and fellow
voters. Judges and clerks were chos-
en- and qualified and everything NOV
ed smoothly. The voters generally
early presented themselves at the
polls.
Foran, Democrat, Reelected.
CLEVELAND, October 14-Incom-
plete returns indicate the election of
Foran, the democratic candidate for
and Sawyer, democratic can
didate for sheriff. The republicans
elect all other candidates in this
county by majority of 5000 to $500.
The republican state ticket will carry
the county by about the same MOTOR
ity.
Why Foran Was Elected.
CLEVELAND, October 11.-In some
wards there was considerable chal-
of men whose residence and
right to vote were disputed. Foran,
democratic candidate for congress ran
far ahead of his ticket and is probably
elected. He was supported by all the
labor organizations.
Toledo Stirred Up.
TOLEDO, October 14.-Never in the
history of Toledo has there been so
much interest in an election as to-
day. In half an hour after the polls
were opened hundreds of voters chiefly
laboring men were casting their votes.
AT 9 o'clock fully half the votes of
the city had been cast. Predictions
were made on the night previous that
there would be trouble and disorder
on the morrow, SO intense was the
feeling, but the result has been emil
nently satisfactory toall lovsrs of law
and order. In the fourth ward, the
home of the worst criminals in the
city, four or five fights occurred, but
no one was seriously injured.
Both republicans and democrats
had made every preparation to pre-
vent fraudulent voting and the result
has been. satisfactory beyond their
most sanguine hopes. At noon two
thirds of the vote had been cast and
it became evident that every voter
was out and working. One feature
was the large number of "veSt pocket"
votes cast. These were mostly voted
by the democrats, and in consequence
the republicans were happy. The eff
feet of this was counteracted by the
knowledge that Robinson ard John
son were falling behind the rest of
the vote. Many Germans were sup
posed to be cutting the head off
the ticket on account of the
action of the saloon keepers.
'rh oughout the day the democrats
have been confident of success and
even up to 8 o'clock in the evening
predicted RobinSon's defeat. The con-
greSSlonal fight has been paramount
in interest to the state ticket, with
many, and the result promises to be
even more of surprise than the re-
suits on the rest of the ticket. The
vote for Romeis, republican candidate
for congress, being even larger than
anticipated by his friends.
Dayton Democratic.
DAYTON, October 14.-Returns for
the city of Dayton, all in, give the city
179 democratic majority Oh the state
ticket-a republican gain of 1893. In
one precinct-that of the Soldiers
home-the republicans gain 118. John
Sinks, republican candidate for con-
gress. carried the city.
Hamilton County.
CINCINNATI, October IA. - The
crowds on the streets are shouting fol-
Blaine and Logan, and are also hur-
raining for Butterworth. Returns
from Hamilton county continue to
show large republican gains over 1883

precincts is 2,740. This indicates Ger
tain republican majority in this
