MAJORITY OF THREE ON JOINT BALLOT.
COLUMBUS, October 20th.-The official re-
turns from Dayton show the election OF
Kemp, giving the Republicans seventeen
Senators and thirty-eight Representatives
outside of Hamilton county-a majority
of three There are no Democrats in Ohio
who claim otherwise.
PREJUDICE AGAINST THE NEGRO.
New YORK, October 20th.-The Herald
says editorially: The recent election in Ohio
shows clearly that the prejudice against the
negro which survives in the North is
chiefly confined to the foreign element. In
Hamilton county the Republicans put a
colored man on the legislative ticket. The
Democrats nominated one on their legisla-
tive ticket in Cuyahoga county. The Gin
cinnati negro was scratched more or less
everywhere, but suffered most in the Irish
and German wards. At Cleveland, Mon
roe, negro, in like manner ran far behind
in the foreign wards of that city, while in
country towns, chiefly inhabited by ma
tives, he was within 149 votes of the high
est candidate, and in several places was not
scratched by single man. The same rule
holds true as to the movements directed
agitation against the Chinese had its origin
in San Francisco which has the smallest
proportion of native-born residents among
all our cities, and its fit leader was an Irish
immigrant. The recent massacre of China
men al Rock Springs was entirely the work
of foreigners, and foreigners who have Sc
little in common with this country that
they have not even become naturaliZed.
WHAT WAS DONE IN THE EIGHTEENTH WARD
OF CINCINNATI.
CINCINNATI, October 20th.-The case was
heard to-day before Judge Bachwatter in
the mandamus proceedings to compel the
judges of elections in precinct i, Eighteenth
Ward TO make proper return of the cleo
ton. The return was brought in unsealed
and unsigned, and hence the writ. J. H.
Thompson, one of the judges, testified that
he had been agreed upon to act as Judge in
behalf of the Republicans. James Hig-
gins and John Regan were the Democratic
judges. In the morning they divided the
labor thus Thompson was to receive the
votes and deposit them in the box; Hig-
gins was to turn the crank, and Regain was
to check the names from the registry book
After about fifty votes had been received
outside parties interfered, took The book
from Regan and threw it under some
rubbish. Regain had said he could
not check the names fast enough. The
book disappeared, and was not used again
that day. After the checking ceased. wit
ness saw one man vote seven times, under
different names. The votes were received
against his protest. He recognized the face
as the same, though he did not know the
man. He went home at 6 o'clock, and re-
fused to assist at the counting. Afterwards
he went to the polling place and was re.
fused admission. He next saw the ballot,
box yesterday morning. The hinges were
broken off, and the box was tied up with &
rope. Other witnesses testified that a COPY
of the registry book had been made, annd
was used by the challengers until they
were driven away and the book torn
up. Citizen Coyington testified that
he saw two boys, whom he
named, and whom he knew were
residents of Coyington, vote at the pre-.
cinct. He said they were brought to the
polls by special policemen. Another wit.
ness saw the boys vote, and saw them
receive money. They went into a saloon
got it changed into silver and divided it
He followed the boys to the river. On the
way he asked policeman to arrest them
but the officer declined. He saw the bows
go into skif without oars, and tear up a
seat and paddle themselves across the
| saw Moses Doyle, whom he knew we'll
and whom he had seen vote short time
before in another precinct, come to this
precinct and offer to vote Witness pro-
tested and seized Doyle's arm as he held
out his ticket. One of the Judges seized
Doyle's wrist, and his arm was pulled to-
ward and from the ballot box by these two
men until another judge took the ticket
from Doyles hand and put in the box.
The question to be raised in this case, after
the testimony is ended, is whether the
Court can compel the judges to sign the
return when they know it is tainted with
Irregularities and fraud.
The official count has only reached the
Twelfth Ward. In one precinct the Judges
returned newspaper election return blank
with their signatures attached, but did not
sign the tally sheet.
About $4,000 has been subscribed for the
use of the Committee of One Hundred.
The Court declined to call a special
Grand Jury, on account of the short time
it would have to serve.
The walkup Poisoning Case.
EMPoRIA (Kansas), October 20th.-The
Walkup case was resumed at o'clock,
with the Courtroom full. Mrs. Walkup
was dressed well, and looked the same as
yesterday. County Attorney Feighan, on
behalf of the State, explained to the Jury
the theory of the poisoning alleged against
the defendant. He related substantially
the circumstances of the sickness, and the
purchase of poison by Mrs. Walkup. He
stated that the State charged that Mrs.
Walkup married her husband with the in
tention of poisoning him, so as to secure
the widows portion of his estate that she
procured the poison in New Orleans or
hot +Iot Il
ministered the poison, which caused his
death, and that if the State proved this
theory, that it would expect the jury to
find verdict of guilty. If it
failed to prove this theory, the
jury would justly acquit the defendant At
the conclusion of Colonel Feighan's ad-
dress, the defendant moved to dismiss the
complaint, as without adequate foundation,
as shown by the information which had
been detailed to the jury. The motion was
overruled. The first witness was Eben
Baldwin, of Lawrence. He testified to an
acquaintance with Mr.. Walkup; that the
latter was large, powerfully built man.
over six feet high, broad-shouldered and of
cheerful disposition. He and Mr.. Walkup
went to the New Orleans Exposition last
December; lodged at Mrs. Wallace's house,
and there became acquainted with the fam
lily, including the defendant Baldwin was
oss-examined by Mr.. Scott, who asked
witness as to the state of health of Mr.
Walkup at the time of the journey to New
Orleans. The State objected to any cross
examination, except that which pertained
to the questions it had asked witness. The
defense proposed TO show that Mr.
Walkup was at the time of his visit to
New Orleans in bad state of health that
his system was putrid with disease The
Court sustained the objection to cross-ex-
animation as to the state of health of Mr.
Walkup, and the defense noted the excep-
ton. The other witnesses examined up TO
noon were Eunice Bartlett, A c. Lakon,
Maggie J. Evans, Johnnie Samuels, an en-
ploye of George W. Newman & Co, dry
goods, relative to the purchases of goods by
Mrs. Walkup. and also Mr.. Newman him
self on the same subject The defense OBJ
jected to the line of evidence as immaterial
and irrelevant. Objection overruled, and
an exception noted. James Collard, an
express agent of Wells, Fargo & Co., testi-
fled to box coming from Mr. Walkup's
house; to Mr.. Walkup opening the box,
and finally taking it away instead of ship
ping it. The box was directed to Mrs.
Wallace, at New Orleans Miss Lizzie
Walkup, daughter of Mr. Walkup, was
called at noon, and the Court adjourned
for the afternoon session.
