C1Nc1NNA11, Oct. l4.71The election in Gin
cinuati has been the most memorable in its
history. Party feeling has grown to its in
tensesr heat and this resulted 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 dep
uty marshala and deputy sheriffs was also tea
,nre that gave unusual interest to the vote.
Under all these conditions the wonder is that
more serious outbreaks did not occur. In quite
a number of wards where democrats are in
strongest force, the deputy marshals were in
timidated or actually driven away and the
presence of Olored men was the signal Tor
i assault. In one of the precincts single deputy
marshal was present in the afternoon, but ne
bore testimony by black eye to rough treat
ment received in the early part OF the day. In
many voting places there was large assembly
of voters before the polls opened tor the purpose
. of seeing that the opposite party took no undue
advantage in election of judges and clerks
This gave rise to some trouble in some wards.
hut the most of the common source of disagree
ment was when the challengers were arrested
4 bv deputy marshals for obatructing voters. It
was then in order for deputy marshals and
policemen, who represented the law, on the
democratic side, to replace the challengers,
and thus oonflict of authority occurred
The scenes at the polls were unusual. Deputy
marshals were armed with policemen's clubs
and with forty-four calibre revolve1s. The
aheriffs in many cases were armed with rude
hickory sticks. Probably made from draypins.
AZ one Of the strongest democratic precincts q
colored deputy sheriff was conspicuous with
stout hickory club in his hands. 1t was not an
uncommon sight to see the officers of both sides
\ IN custody, and deputy marshals found them
selves arrested by policeman. In the sixth
ward, where many negroes vote. one large police
man was arrested by colored deputy marshal.
The republicans and democrats each had lawyers
employed to attend to getting their men released
Is fast as possible after arrest. Altogether it
has been day Of deep excitement. and its
comparatively speaceable termination matter
of oongratulation. The 6rst return received
4 tonight was from Clifton precincts, showing 9
republican gain Of SO. Then came the precinct
+ Of the Tenth ward, which last year Was evenly
I divided, now shows . republican majority
ssof 26S, which was republican gain to that
