for the republicans, and the whites for the
democrats. The vote here will be very close,

Gratis, the same az in 1884.

proceeding quietly but earnestly, and there is
promise of very full vote. This city will give
an increased ma jority over that of 1884. The
negroes are solid for the republican ticket.

democratic ma ority.

lightful, and heavy vote is being polled. The

MUCH INTEREST IN THE CONTEST AT NORFOLK.
NORFOLK, Va, Nov. 6.-The weather is clear
and warm, and voting in Norfolk and Ports
mouth cities and Norfolk County is progressing
rapidly, and more interest Is shown by both
parties than in any election for years. The
colored people are bringing out their full
strength and assert intense opposition
to tariff reform. This congressional
district is largely republican and Geo. F. Bow
den, the republican Representative, will be re-
turned. He claims to-day 5000 majority. Nor
folk city gave Blaine 4O7 majority, and while
Harrison's majority may not be SO large the
town will probably go republican, owing to
democratic split in the municipal
spring contest. Portsmouth, which gave 80
majority for Blaine, will 60 democratic by a
small majority. There is no obstruction at the
polls, and the colored vote is being recorded
rapidly. In the largest colored precinct of the
town this morning a democratic supervisor had
JUDGE OF ELECTION ARRESTED
for allowing alleged ex-convicts to vote. Judge
Hughes of the United States Court discharged
the election judge and ordered the arrest Of
the democratic supervisor for obstructing vot-
ing, revoked his commission and bound him
over to appear before the grand jury. This in
cident has created great excitement among
democrats and republicans, but no trouble is
apprehended.
HARRIsoNBURa, Va, Nov. GA heavy vote is
being polled The weather is bright and warm.
