IN NEW YORK.
New York, Nov. 3-Tbe weather is
cool, clear and delightful and gives
every promise OF remaining 80 all day.
In the eastern part of the state, through
out the Mohawk valley and other points
farther south, heavy snow storms have
prevailed and 1t is likely that bad roads
IN these districts will cause q lighter
vote than would otherwise be cast. Both
political parties are conf
dent of success, the democratic
committee still claiming 10000 majority
for Hill. The republicans are a little
more modest, and while giving no fig
ures as a basis for their claim, predict
Davenport's election. Betting last ev-
ening was in favor of the democrats at
ten to nine in some places and at others
ten to seven on Davenport, but it is
limited that the figures on both sides are
made to order for telegraphio uss to the
rural districts, to keep up the courage
of the faithful.
A report was published yesterday
that warrants were out for the arrest of
Mayor Grace and others for completely
in the frauds of Ward & Fish, but U. S.
Attorney Doisheimer says that the story
is q fabrication and absolutely false and
that no evidence has been offered to con-
meet him in any criminal way with the
proceedings of Ward.
Albany, Nov. 3-Tbe weather here is
cool, cloudy and fair. The vote is being
polled with considerable trading on
local tickets.
Buffalo, Nov. 3-Weather cloudy and
cold. The election in this city is pro.
crossing quietly. The vote In most dis.
tricts was rather light up to IL a. m.
Lockport, N. Y, Nov. 3-The election
is progressing quietly in this city and a
full vote is being polled. The weather
is damp and ctilty, with light aurries of
sleet in the morning, but the sky is
clearing. In the country towns a falling
of of the vote is expected.
Elmira, N. Y, Nov. 3-The day open
ed cloudy, with occasional squalls of
rain, sieet and snow. The rain last
night and yesterday has put the roads
in a very bad condition, The election is
proceeding quietly here and the vote
bids fair to be heavy.
Troy, N. Y, Nov. 3-The weather is
cloudy, but no rain is falling. The cleo
ton is passing of quietly and the 1ndica-
tions are that an average vote will be
polled.
Mrs. Caroline Galby Rogers, an adyo-
cate of female suffrage, offered a vote at
Lansingburg, which was refused by the
inspectors and she threatened to ap-
ply to the courts for a mandamus.
Rochester, New York, Nov. 81
Weather fair. But a light vote is being
polled. Frederick Kopp, democratic
candidate for secretary of state, is run
ming ahead of his ticket. In nearly ev.
cry district the vote of state ticket is on
strict party lines. The prohlbitionists
are working hard and will poll a larger
vote than last year. The contest on the
Legislative ticket is close.
New York, l p. m.-Weather still cool
and bracing. A heavy vote is being
polied, but it is done quietly. Most of
the voters have their ballots ready be-
fore going to the polls. The same story
OF a quiet election and heavy vote comes
from Kings county.
AT republican headquarters it is claim
ed that a larger republican vote is being
polled than usual. The news from
Brooklyn indicates a full republican
VOTE. The headquarters of the demo-
cratic state committee are crowded with
visitors. 1t is said that they have not
had a single charge of cutting or trading
votes.
A despatch was sent out over the.
state at noon declaring that New York
City democrats were voting solidly and
would give the state ticket $4,000 major
ity. It also stated that more than half
OF the vote ofathe entire city was polled
before noon.
IN IOWA.
Des Moires, Iowa, Nov. 3-The day
opened pleasant, with the weather clear
and cold. Voting is proceeding quietly
with a prospect of an unusually large
poll.
Iowa votes for governor, lieutenant
governor, Judge of the supreme coart
superintendent of education, one
half of the senate and all of the lower
house. Four tickets are in the field
the republican, headed by VIM. Lanabee,
OF Fayette county; the fusion ticket,
representing democrats and greenback-
ers, headed by Chas. e. Whiting, o.
Monona county, the straight out or
st. John prohlbitionists, headed by
James Mlcalawait, of Mills county; the
straight greenbackers, opposed to fusion,
headed by Elias Doty, of Linn county.
The chief state issue involved is the
repeal or further trial of prohibition.
The fusion platform demands the repeal
OF prohibition and the substitution of a
general license law. The republican
platform asks for q fair trial of the
prohibition law before any modification
in it is made.
