COLUMBUS, OHIO Oct. 18th 8 A. M.
AT republican headquarters at this
hour all doubts are banished. The
state of Ohio has gone republican by
from 10000 to 10000 on all its candi-
dates. The republicans gain four and
propably six congressman. The city
is ablaze with republican rejoicing
over the victory, which insures
Blaines election in November next.
The following are incomplete re-
turns received at republican head
quarters up to this hour
CINCINNATI, Oct. l.. At 2:3O D. m.
the city continues to be fairly quiet,
nearly one hundred men have been
brought before the U. 5. commission
er for illegal voting, and have been
sent to jail or released on bond. The
habeas corpus proceedings are used in
some instances to get them out of
jail. Arrests are also made by the
police and deputy sheriffs, and the
same course is pursued to release these
prisoners. There has been no general
disturbance since the rush at the
Eighth ward polls, and confidence is
growing that the day may pass
peacefully, still there are fears of
violence about the time of the clos
ing of the polls at six. p. M. Indica-
tons point rather to peace. 1t is evil
dent that the vote will be The largest
ever cast. Similar reports continue
to come from outside points.
CINCINNATI, Oct. At was re
marked by Judge Kelly, of Pennsyl-
vania, after canvassiBg the state. that
he had never seen such intense inter
est manifested in politics since 1870
All reports received up to this hour
indicate that this intensity of feeling
continues. An enormous vote is be-
ing polled, and each party is striving
not only to get in all the votes but to
get them in early. 1t is understood
that Oni0 is regarded as the battle
ground, and on the issue of to-day
will depend the conduct of the next
administration. The polls are being
closely watched, the deputy sheriffs
and police representing the democrats,
and the deputy United States mar
shals and citizens committees the re-
publlcans.
A large number of repeaters have
already been arrested by deputy mar
shals, and they are being guarded in
government buildings. 4 number of
these were brought in a patrol wagon
by the police, which added to the ex-
element. There has been consider
able shooting in the sixth, eighth,
eighteenth and nineteenth wards In
the latter a deputy marshal shot a
deputy sheriff IN the head, causing
severe but not fatal wound. In the
eig.eenth, a democratic ward, there is
great excitement because of the large
number of republican votes being
polled The citizens of Glendale re-
port that early this morning a num-
Der of Irish voted the republican
ticket
While the ticket to be voted is
state, local and congressional, the is
sue is national, for the reasons above
stated: hence the vote will be large.
1t will probably reach 500, coo in the
aggregate The state candidates
are: Secretary of state, judge
of the supreme court, and
board of public works. The dem
ocratic candidate for secretary of state
is the present incumbent, Mr.. New
man; the republican, Gen. j. S. Rob
inson, who at present represents the
marine district in congress. Only
scattering returns need be expected
tonight, but they will indicate the
drift.
