CINCINNATI, Oct. Ia. = Policeman
before the U. S. commissioner was
released on bond. The city is fever
ish with excitement and many arrests
have been made at the polls for IL
legal voting, and ~halleging votes is
carried on to greater extent than ever
before. A slight collision has taken
place in several wards, but the worst
so far has been in the sixth ward
where there are large number of
Negroes and Irish votes, and where
early this morning, one of Pinkerton' S
detectives was badly beaten. A negro
known as Foxy was killed this morn
ing in an encounter with the deputy
marshal. A report came from the
fifteenth ward that the deputy sher-
ifs had overpowered deputy marshal.
III. Ward, and were refusing 10
allow any negroes to vote. Tue u.
S. marshal sent an additional number
of deputy marshals to the scene.
The weather. is delightfully."- cool and
pleasant, and very large vote is be-
ing polled. Men about the polls say
there is very little scratching. Every
where great earnestness is manifested.
TOLEDO, Oct. 1.-THE weather is
clear and cool. Voting is progressing
quietly. Indications are that the
vote will be the largest ever polled
here. In six of the eight wards of
the city, it is estimated that fully one
half the votes were in before nine
o'clock this morning.
CINCINNATI, Oct. IA At 2:3O p. M
the city continues to be fairly quiet,
nearly one hundred men have been
brought before the U. S. commission
er for illegal voting, and have been
sent to jail or released on bond. The
habeas corpus proceedings are used in
some instances to get them out of
jail. Arrests are also made by the
police and deputy sheriffs, and the
same course is pursued to release these
prisoners. There has been no general
disturbance since the rush at the
Eighth ward polls, and confidence is
growing that the day may pass
peacefully, still there are ears of
violence about the time of tie clos
ing of the polls at six p. M Indica-
tions point rather to peace. 1t is evil
dent that the vote will be the largest
ever cast. Similar reports continue
to come from outside points.
CINCINNATI, Oct At was re
marked by Judge Kelly, of Pennsyl-
vania, after canvassihg the state. that
he had never seen such intense inter
est manifested in politics since 1910
AL reports received up to this hour
indicate that this intensity of feeling
continues. An enormous vote is be-
ing polled, and each party is striving
not only to get in all the votes but to
get them in early. 1t is understood
that Onio is regarded as the battle
ground, and on the issue of to-day
will depend the conduct of the next
administration. The polls are being
closely watched, the deputy shefifs
and police representing the democrats,
and the deputy United States mar
shals and citizens committees the re-
publlcans.
a large number of repeaters have
already been arrested by depEty mar
shals, and they are being guarded in
government buildings. A number of
these were brought in a patrol wagon
by the police, which added to the ex-
element. There has been consider
able shooting in the sixth, eighth,
eighteenth and nineteenth wards. In
the latter a deputy marshal shot a
deputy sheriff In the head, causing
a severe but not fatal wound. In the
eig.eenth, democratic ward, there is
great excitement because of the large
number of republican votes being
polled. The citizens of Glendale re-
port that early this morning a num-
ber of Irish voted the republican
ticket.
While the ticket to be voted is
state, local and congressional, the is
sue is national, for the reasons above
stated; hence the vote will be large.
1t will probably reach 500, GOO in the
aggregate. The state candidates
are: Secretary of state, judge
of the supreme court, and
board of public works. The dem
ocratic candidate for secretary of state
is the present incumbent, Mr.. New
man; the republican, Gen. J. S. Rob,
iuson, who at present represents the
marine district in congress. Only
scattering returns need be expected
tonight, but they will indicate the
drift.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 1.-The poll:
closed at o'clock with no further
outbreaks, to the great relief of every
body. There was very general appre
hension that trouble would occur a:
the polls were about to close and mer

cincts to prevent violence. Fortu
nately the day closed quietly, the
worst trouble of the dag happening II
