CLEVELAND, O.,oct. I4.-Both Democrats and
Republicans received returns at the city armory
tonight. The great interest locally centered in
the congressional fight. The results in this par
ticular are still mixed. although Foran, Demo-
crat, will probably be elected over Burnett. Re-
publican, by small majority. There is no doubt
but that Cuyohoga county will 90 Republican by
an old time majority. Many of the districts in
the Western Raserve and especially in Republi-
can strong holds gave Democratic gains which
were unexpected.
Frank Hurd (Democrat) is elected to congress
from the Toledo district by good majority.
In the Twentieth district David P. Paige Dem
ocraA is probably defeated by Major wm. Nc
Kinley. whose majority will not be over 200 or
SEQ.
In Gardeld's old district, the Nineteenth. Tsy-
lor IS elected by the Republicans by large ma
joriiy.
AT this hour the Democrats fear the state has
Vone Republican by a small majority, but rely

CLEVELAND. o., Oct. 14.-Returns come in
slowly, but from present indications the state
will go Republican. Returns from $50 wards
and precincts show a net Republican gain Of
1850. The Democrats at this hour place their
vote thus far heard from at 5000. with Re-
publican vote of $4,000, thus conceding 1000
majority to the Republicans. Several districts
on the Western reserve show Democratic gains.
In Ashtabula the Democrats make a net gain Of
46. In Galipolis, Logan and other towns the
Democrats have also made large gains.

natl has been the most memorable in history.
The party feeling had grown to its intensest heat
and this resulted in bringing ont the largest vote
ever poled 1t did more. II brought TO the
polls as workers a larger number than ever be-
fore. The presence of deputy marshals and
deputy sherIlTs was also feature that gave up-
usual interest 10 the vote. Under all these con-
ditions the wonder is that more serious out
breaks did not occur. In quite q number of
wards, where Democrats are in the strongest
force, the deputy marshals were intmi-
dated or actually driven away, aud
the presence OF colored man was
the signal for assault. In one of the precincts i
single deputy marshal was present in afternoon,
but he bore testimony b. 4 black eye to the
rough treatment received in the early part Of the
day In many voting places there was 4 large
assembly OF voters before the polls opened for
the purpose OF seeing that the opposite party
took nc undue advantage in the election of
Judges and clerks. This gave rise 10 some trou-
bic in some wards, but the most common cause
OF disagreement was when cha.icuyers were ar
rested 0y deputy marshais for obstructing voters
Ii was then an order for deputy sheriGs ana po-
hcemen. who represented the law on the Dem
ocratic side, to replace the chailengeTs and thus
a conflict Of authority occurred. The
scenes az the polls were unusual
Deputv marshals were armed with policemen's :
clubs as with forty-fOnr caiibre revO.yers. The
sherifTs, in many cases, are armed with rude
hickory sticks, probably made from drsy pins
At one OF the strongest Democratic precincts 8
coored deputy sheriff was conspicuous with 4
stout hickory clnb in his hands Il was not Sn
uncommon sight TO see the officers OF both sides
in custody, and deputy marshals found them
selves arrested by policeman. In the Sixth
ward. where many negroes vote, one large police
man wss arrested by a col1red deputy marshal
The Republicans and Democrats each had law
yers employed to attend TO getting their men re
leased As fast as possible sitter arrest. Alto

THE LARGEST EVER PoLLED.

DAYTON, o., Oct 1.-THE election here to-day
has been the most exciting known for years, and
an exceedingly heavy vote is being polled, both
Democrats and Republicans doing their utmost
to bring out every vote, and the probabilities
arc that the vote to-day will be the largest known
here for years. The Republicans have a large
number of negro voters here from Kentucky,
but the Democrats are the lookout and any
effort to vote them will be promptly checked
number of Republican manufactures of this
city have shut down for to-day. The employers
last night charged their to stand at the polls
in the interest of the Republican ticket. This
has caused an exceedingly bitter feeling among
the workingmen OF the city, who to large
extent, Democrats, and they working all the
harder for their own ticket. The Democrats
will carry the entire county ticket by small ma
jorities. Congressman Anderson will be elected
in his district, composed of the counties OF Mi
ami, Darke and Montgomery.

Death from a Kniie Wound.

On New Years day Joseph Roberts
and wife, who live on Dodson noun
tain IN this county were visiting at a
neichbor's. In their absence their little
boy about eight or nine years old was
rlaving in ahe house with little
daughter Of Joshua Brown, who
was killed by Shelton near Canyonvil g
some four years ago. The girl is four
teen years old and has lived in Mr.. Rob
ert's family since her fathers death
In their play the boy accidentally cut
her in the arm with small pocket
knife. An old man named Sales, Sho
was stopping there, tied up the wound
with some flour which stopped the flow
of blood. When Mr.. Roberts returned
IN the evening he observed that the
eiil was sick and the next day sent to
Res ,burg for doctor, but none of the

go. He then sent to Myrtle Greek for
Doctor McCarty, who instead of going
out sent out some medicine.
The girl kept getting worse and Mon
elay Mr.. Roberts sent IL
Roseburs again for physicians Drs
Davis and Bunnell started to go oat
but met Mr.. Roberts on the way Wiz
informed them that the girl had died
The girl evidently died from bloot
poisoning caused by the cut, which VA
little more than scratch, and sad a

It has long been held among those who
know the red man best, that the only
really good Indians are the dead ones.
General Crook, however, does not think
so, and it must be conceded that the
general has had ample opportunity to
know whereof he speaks. He insists that
the Indian has much capacity for
civilization and only needs encourage
ment. III proof of his opinion he refers
to The large crops that some of the Indi-
ans in his department. have raised during
the present year, although they were
not properly supplied with seed and agli-
cultural implements. These good Indians
are not of the comparatively peaceable
tribes that have long lived OH reservations,
but are of the warlike Araches, a tribe
that has come to be considered utterly
incapable of cisilizstion. General Crook
recommends that these Indians he allow
ed to hold land in sever,lty, and prom
ises graf results from the experiment.
If the gen. has dis covered better mode
of making III Indian good than killing
him, he deserves the thinks of, ut least,
| the Indians

The Coos Bay Road.

The sCoast Mali IN its last issue
made an unwarranted attack upon the
Coos Bay Toll road which is calculated
to give a very false impression of TIE
road, and thereby injure to consider
able extent the interests of Roseburg
The truth is that when Haily and Co.
took the mail contract from Rosebrg
to the Bay there was no road over
which a wagon could travel and horse
with difficulty. With their usual en-
ergy this company completed good
wagon road the whole distance. When
the late storm, with its dcluge of water
washed out the road bed, the agent,
Mr.. Glover, cut out the old trail SO
that the mail was carried regularly.
AS soon as the storm subsided work
was resumed upon the road, and is now
passable for horses and will soon he 50
for teams.
To accuse the Road company for any
derilections of duty in such case, is
like asking that the railroad company
forfeit its cha, tel because the slides oc-
casioned by the same Storm has pre-
vented the passage of the mails from
the south The Goes Bay road COM
pany has done everything possible and
nothing more can be required of it.

The streets of Roseburg are in worse

The revenue of the city has been worse than
wasted during the last two or three years.
The most Of it has been expended on defect

has been established without hooks or lad

money in legitimate channels, so that the
people may have the benefit of their nloaey.
