The Ohio Election.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Oct. 13.-The election
in this city began without any disorder.
Up to 10 a. m. no arrests had been made.
Two causes contributed to this resu!t-the
division of the precincts so that not more
than three or four hundred votes are in any
one, and the rain which prevents crowds
from congregating. All the judges are pro-
vided with printed lists of what are con.
sidered fraudulent registries, and the voting
is watched with care. Rain is reported
almost all over the State last night and to.
day This will doubtless have the effect to
cause light vote throughout the State.
COLUMBUS, O., Oct. 13-The election is
passing off quietly, with indications that a
light vote will be polled. 1t rained all tie
forenoon, and it is believed that if it should
clear away the main part of the vote
would be brought out during the after
noon. Some scratching is being done on
the local and legislative tickets, but lhc
work of this kind is not thought to be for
midable on either side. Although some
precincts are behind in the vote polled al
noon, it was thought at that hour that hail
the city vote had been pol!eti. Neither Of
the State committees have any information
of consequence, except that rain is general
and that fair vote is being polled.
