Cincinnati, Oct. 14.-The policemen
were brought before the United States COM
missioner this morning and were released
on bond. The city is fever;sh with excite
ment. Many arrests have been made 1t
the polls for il!egyl voting and challenging
is carried on to greater extent than ever
before Slight co lisions have taken Place
In several wards, but the worst SO far has
been
IN THE SIXTH WARD,
where large number of negroes and Irish
vote and where early this moruiug one of
Pipkerton's de ectiveS was b. ably beaten. A
negro known as Foxy Anderson, was killed
there this morning in an encounter with
deput, marshal. The report came
FROM THE FIFTEENTH WARD
that the deputy sheriffs had oYerpowered
the deputy marshals and were refusing TO
allow any negroes to vote. The United
States marshal ha. sent an additional num-
Der of deputy marshsls to the scenes. The
weather is delightfully."- coil and pleasant
and a very large vote has been polled. The
men about the polls do very Ii tie scratch
ing everywhere great esrnestness Is
manifested. 1t was remarked by Judge
Kelley, of Pepnsvlv ania, after canvassing
the state, that he had never seen such iD-
tense interest manifested In politics since
1910. All reports received up 10 this hour
indicate that this intensity OF feeling con-
tinues.
AN ENORMOUS VOTE
is being polled, each party striving to get
In early. Ii is unde: stood that Ohio is re-
garded as the battle ground, and on the Is
sue of to-day will derend the conduct OF
the next thsee weeks of the campaign.
The polls are being clo sely watched. The
deputy sheriffs and police are representing
the democrats and deputy United States
marshsls and citizens committees
the republicans. A large number of re-
pea:ers have already been arrested by the
deputy marshals and they are being guard
ed in government buildings. A number OF
these were brought in patrol wagons by the
police, which added to the excitement,
There has been
CONSIDERABLE SHOOTING
In the Sixth, Eighth, Eighteenth and Nine
teenth wards La the latter, deputy mar
shall shot a deputy sheriff in the head
causing a ssvere wound, but not fatal. In
the Eighteenth, democratic ward. there
is great excitement because of The large
number of republican votes being polled.
The citizens of Glendale report that early
this morning large number of Irish voted
the republican t;cke'. While the ticket ia
be voted is state> local and congressional
the issue is national for the reason above
stated, hence the vote will be large. Ii
will probably reach 100000 in the sggre
gate. The STATE candidates are secrei ary
of state, Judge Of the supreme court and
board of public works. The democratic
candidate for secretary of state is the pres.
ent incumbent, Mr.. Newman. The repub
Iican, Gen. J. 3. Robinson, who at present,
represents the Marion district in congress
Only scattering returns need be expected
tonight but these Will indicate the drift.
The report that Fox Anderson was
killed in the Sixth ward is
NOT TRUE
He had an alteration, but was not Sc
riously hurt. Large crowds are gathered
st many of the polling places and the ali
is full of rumors of expected outbreaks
The polling OF votes continues rapidly and
in many places more than half .he total
vote was cast before noon. In the United
States court room Commissioners Harper
and Probasco have already committed
twenty-seven men charged with illegal
voting. Shortly before noon Al. Russell
in the Eighteenth ward, who had been
fourishing pistol about the vicinity OF
the polls, was shot by colored deputy
marshal and
DIED INSTANTLY.
At noon the poll was progressing quietly
In nearly all the wards. There is a large
crowd about the United States government
building attracted by curiosity and by the
almost constant arrivals of men arrested
for illegal voting.
At $50 the city continues to be fairly
quiet.
NEARLY ONE HUNDRED MEN
have been brought before the United State,
commissioner Tor illegal voting and hav,
been sent TO Jail or released on bond.
Habess corpus proceeding are used in som,
instances to get them out of Jail. Arrests
are also made by. the police and deputy
sherifs and the same course pursued to re
lease their prisoners. There hiss been M
general disturbance since the rush at thu
Eighth ward polls and confidence is CROWN,
that the day will pass peaceably. Still Their
are fears of violerce about the. time of th,
closing of the polls at 6 p. m, but indica
tions point rather to peace. 1t is eyiden
that the vote viii be the largest ever cast
