is beautiful through the state. AS far
as heard from the expectation is that

the presidential vote of 1884. Voting
here is proceeding quietly. No disturb
ance is anticipated, as all saloons were
closed ut sunset last night not to reopen
until Wednesday morning.
Richmond, Va, Nov. Sat one o'clock
q number of precincts in the city had
polled over three-fourths of the regis.
tered votes. At several precincts where
the colored vote preponderates, long
lines of voters are patiently waiting
their turn, 1t is probable that when the
sun goes down many will have failed to
deposit their ballots. Reports
from otker parts of the state
indicate the polling of a full vote. 1t is
generally believed here that the aggre,
gate vote of the state will surpass that
of last November. A comparison of gains
and losses Will be made with the last
election, when Cleveland's majority was
6,141. There are 1900 voting precincts
in the state and the republicans will
have TO average a gam of five in each
precinct to overcome this majority.
