clear and cool, and the voting is pro
gressing quietly. The indications are
that the vote viii be the largest ever
noIIed. In six of the eight wards of the
citv. it is estimated that fully one-half
of the vote was in before 3 clock.
Never in the history OF Toledo has
there been so much interest in an cleo
ton as to-day. Within half an hour
after the polls opened a hundred voters,
chiefly laboring men, were casting their
ballots. and at 0 o'clock fully One-half
the vote of the city had been cast. Pre-
dictiOns were made on the previous
night that there would be trouble and
disorder on the morrow, so intense was
tbe feeling, but the result has been sat
isfactOry to all. In the Fourth Ward,
the home of all the worst criminals IN
the city, four or five fights occurred,
butno one was seriously Injured. Both
Republicans and Democrats had made
every preparation to prevent frdudu-
lent voting, and the result has been
satisfactory beyond their most Sanguine
homes. At noon tWO-thirdS OF the
vote had been cast, and it became
evident that every voter was
ont and working. One feature
was the large number of vest pocket
votes east. These were mostly voted by
democrats. and in consequence Repub-
leans were happy. The effect Of this
was counteracted by the knowledge that
Robinson and Johnson were falling be-
hind the vote of the party. Many Ger
mans were supposed to be cutting the
head of the ticket on account OF the
action Of the saloon keepers. Through
ont the day Democrats have been con-
hdent of success, and even up to
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 result
promises even more of surprise than the
results on the rest of the ticket. The
vote for Robinson, (Republican) for
Congress being even larger than was an
ticipated by his most Sanguine friends.
Nothing definite from outside cOUn-
ties in this district in reference TO Con
greSs 1t viii be several hours be
Tors We can report with any certainty as
to the fate of Mr.. Hurd.
CINCINNATI, October At was
remarked by Judge Kelley, of Pennsyl-
yania, after canYaSsing the State, that
he had never seen such intense interest
manifested in politics since 1910. All
reports received up to this hour indi-
cate that this intensity OF feeling con-
jinueS. An enormous vote Is being
p0lled, each party striving not only to
get in all its votes, but to get them in
early. 1t is understood that Ohio is re-
garde3 rs the battle ground and on the
issue OF to-day viii depend the conduct
of the next three weeks of the cam
paigu. The polls are being closely
watched, the deputy SheriffS re-
presenting the Democratic and
deputy United States marShalS, and the
citizens committees the Republicans.
y large number of TepeaterS have al
ready been arrested by deputy marshaIS
and they are being guarded in the gov
eminent building. A number of these
were brought in patrol wagon by the
police. which added to the excitement.
There has been considerable shooting
IN the sixth, eighth, eighteenth and
nineteenth wards. In the latter, a de-
putty marshal shot a deputy sheriff in
the head, causing a severe wound. 1t
not fatal. In the eighteenth. a Demo-
cratic ward, there is great excitement
because OF the large number Of Repub-
49an votes being pOlled by citizens Of
Glendale. Early this morning a large
number OF Irish voted the Republican
ticket. While the ticket TO be voted in
lthe State Is local ana Congressional. the
issue IS national for the reasons above
stated, hence the vote viii be large.
II viii probably reach 100000 in the ag-
gregate. The State candidates are:
secretary OF State, Judge Of the Supreme
court and board of public works. The
democratic candidate fOrSecretary is the
present incumbent, Mr.. Newman; the
republican, General John S. Robinson,
