There was very g, neral apprehension that
IrC u5le would occur as the polls were
about 10 close, and men were sent TO The
most dangerous pre-. iucis to prevent vio-
Ieuce. Fortunately the day closed quietly.
The worst trouble of the day happened an
one of the precincts OF
THE EIGHTH WARD,
where a number of colored deputy mar
shals came in collision with the deputy
sherifis and bysranders. and as The latter
were Isr.ely AMI republican, the oo!ored
men were quickly routed, but no. till
number of shots were fired. A cry Of
"LYNCH THE NEGROES
was raised and the crowd rushed into the
next street after a few colored men In
sight, one WIS caught and beaten ne ,rly TO
de ,tn; another was struck in the face with
a bow lder and his fac SIN shed. He had
not been about the polls, but was passing
along the street In this disturbance one
man wss fatally shot aud woman struck
in TIE breast with bowlder and is sup
posed to be MORALLY hurt. During the
whole afternoon al this precinct large
crowd RENAME and a number of minor
took place.

The election 10 Cincinnati has been the
most memorable in Its history Party feeling
has growr to is irtenSesl heat, and this re-
suited in bringing out the largest vote ever
polled. 1t did more 1t brought to the
polls as workers larger number OF men
than ever before. The presence of deputy
marshaIs and deputy sheriffs was also
feature that gave unusual interest 10 the
vote. Under all these conditions, the
wonder Is that more .rious outbreaks do
not occur. and in quite a number OF wards,

DEPUTY MARsHALs WERE INUNDATED,

of colored men was the signal for ass iult In
these precinc's single deputy marshal
was present in the afternoon but he bore
testimony by a black eve TO rough treat
ment received Ia tie early part of the day.
In many voting places there wss a large
assembly of voters before the polls opened
for the purpose OF seeing that the opposite
party took no undue advantage In the cleo
ton by the judges and clerks. This gave
rise to some trouble in some wards, but the
most common source of disagreement was
when
CHALLENGES WERE ARRESTED,
by deputy marshalls for ohstructing The
voters. 1t was then In order for the depu
~ sherifs and policemen who represented
law on the democratic side to rescue the
chsllengers and thus the conflict of author
t.y occurred. These scenes at the polls
were unusual, The deputy marshals were

to see the officers OF both sides In Gust bdy.
The deputy marshals found themselves ar

republicans and democrats each had law

Then came precinct of the tenth warl,
