CINCINNATI, Oct. IA. AT many
voting places there was a large assem-
bly, of voters before the polls opened
for the purpose of seeing 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 challen
gers were arrested by deputy mar
shals for obstructing voters. 1t
was then in order for deputy
sheriffs and policemen, who
represented law on the demo
cratic side to rescue the challengers,
and thus tn: conflict of authority oc
Cured. The scenes at the polls were
unusual. The deputy marshals were
armed with policemen's clubs, as well
as with A calibre revolvers. The
deputy sheriffs in many cases were
armed with rude hickory sticks,
probably made from dray-pins
at one of the strongest democratic
precincts. A colored deputy sheriff
was conspicuous with a stout hickory
club in his hands. 1t was not an un-
common sight to see the officers of
both sides in custody Deputy mar
shals found themselves arrested by
policemen. In the 9th ward
where many negroes vote, one large
policeman was arrested by colored
deputy marshal. The repblicans and
democrats each had lawyers en-
ployed to attend to getting their men
released as fast as possible after their
arrest. Altogether it has been a day
of deep excitement and its compare
lively peaceable termination is mat
ter of congratulation The first re-
turn received tonight was
from Clifton precinct showing a re-
publican gain of so. Then came TO
precinct of the tenth ward which last
year was evenly divided. 1t now
shows republican majority of 263,
which is a republican gain of that
amount This was settlement sf
the question of how the German vote
was going as was subsequent returns
showing large republican gains In
other German wards 1t was soon
conceded that Hamilton county had
gone republican. The outlook at 10
o'clock is that the republican majori-
ty In Hamilton county may reach
2, ZOO, and that both Butterworth and
Brown, republicans, are elected to
congress.
