of Deputy Marshals and Deputy SheriNs was
also a feature that gave unusual interest to vote
Under all these conditions it is wonder that
| more serious outbreaks did not occur. In
number of wards, where the Democrats are the
strongest, q force of Deputy Marshals were in
timidated, and actually driven away and the
presence of colorcd men was a signal for assault
In one of these precincts single Deputy Marshal
was present in the afternoon, but he bore testi-
mony with a black eye. to the rough treatment
| he had received in the early part of the
day. In many voting places there WAS
| large assembly of voters before the
polls opened, for the purpose of seeing that
the opposite party took no undue advantage in
the election OF Judges and Clerks This gave
| rise to some trouble in some wards, but the
most common source of disagreement was when
| challengers Were arrested by Deputy MarShalS
| for obstructing voters. 1t was then in order for
| Deputy SheriflS and policemen, who represented
the law on the Democratic side to rescue the
| challengcrs, and thus conflict of authority
occurred The scenes at the polls We're
| unusual and the Deputy MarshalS were armed
with polcemens clubs as well Us with IL
caiiber reyolyers. The Deputy SheriilS, in many
cases, were armed with rude hickory sticks,
probably made from dray pins. At one of the
strongest Democratic precinetsa coiorcd Deputy
Sheriff was conspicuous with o stout hickoryclub
in his hands. 1t was not uncommon sight to
see officers of both sides in custody. Deputy
Marshals found themselves arrested by police
men. In the Sixth Ward, where many negroes
vote, one large policeman was arrested by col

AT TOLEDO.
TOLEDO, October 14th.-Never in the historyof
Toledo has there been so much interest in an
election as to-day. Within half an hour after
the polls opened hundreds of voters, chiefly
laboring men, were casting their ballots, and at
O'Clock fully one-half the votes of the city had
been cast. Predictions were made on the pre-
vious night that there would be trouble and dis
order on the morrow, So intense the feeling;
but the result has been eminently satisfactory
t. all
criminals in the city, four or five fights oc-
cured but no one was seriously injured. Both
Republicans and Democrats had made every
preparation to prevent 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 large number of "vest-pocSeF
votes cast. These were mostly voted by Demo
Gratis, and in consequence the Republicans were
happy. The effect of this was counteracted by
the knowledge that Robinson and Johnson
were falling behind the rest of the vote. Many
Germans were supposed to be cutting the head
of the ticket on account of the action OF the
saloon-keepers. Throughout the day the DEM
ocrats have been confident of success and even
upto o'clock in the evening predicted Robin
sons defeat The Congressional fight has been
paramount in interest to the State ticket with
many and the results promise TO be more of u
surprise than the results the rest OF the ticket

even larger than anticipated by his most san
