From 5000 to 1sOO--DetaIIs of the
Vote on the Various Candi-
dates--The Bonds Vote.
From Wednesdays Daily.

tuesdays oloeLlOn was unusually
quiet, despite the pleasantness Of the
DAY, which augured we'll for the polling
of heavy vote. The result was to the
contrary and the vote was light one
throughout the State, as we'll as in
Stark county.
Considerable hustllng was done by
both parties but 1t was mainly Of a
quiet nature and when the polls closed
at six O'Clock 1t was difficult task to
make an estimate of the result
with any degree Of accuracy.
This was especially true In Canton,
where the voters In the annexed terri
tory 10 the city numbered almost three
hundred. How they would affect the
political complexion of the wards was a
mystery.
The Canton township poll was the
hrst to make 8 return. Here the total
vote cast WR1 1858, falling off of almost
three hundred, OccasiOned by the exten
sion Of the city limits The township
gave Mcbride tWenty-ninn majority, and
the votes on the other candidates lowered
In that neighblrhOOd. This vote was
considered very good for the Democrats.
DEMOCRATIC HEADQUARTERS.
The Democrats received returns in
Empire Hall, while the Republicans
posted bulletins in the window of the
News Exchange. Empire Hall was
packed with people all evening, and the
last few did not leave until after three
o'clock this morning.
The returns from the out lying town
ships were slOwtO come In. A comp etc
report Of the result in Massillon and
Perry township was promptly and accu-
rately received, and the good showing
made there by the Democrats was greet
ed with cheers.
The reports from the State were
meager and unsatisfactory and the
heavy Republican gain in Cincinnati
was not encouraging. The report that
Cuyahoga county gained four thousand
for the Democrats went down much
better and hearty yells greeted the an
nOuncement.
THE SITUATION TO-DAY.
Returns have been received to-day
from all except a few precincts In
Stark county, and the result
is one Of glorious victory for the De-
m0cracy, and Of which all Democrats
may feel proud. Counting the totals of
the precincts reported and making fair
estimate on the vote In the precincts
not yet in shows the election of the en-
tire Democratic ticket. "Stlck a pin

hundred majority, runnint almost two
hundred ahead of the general State
