HARRISON LEADS.
ST. PAUL, Nov. 6-Seventy-one towns and
precincts including IS of ST. Paul and is OF
Minneapolis, give Harrison 10, 49, Cleveland
9,409, Fisk e96
II is roughly estimated that when the polls
closed at o'clock this evening Q, 900 to 1000 St.
Paul voters had failed to get their ballots in on
account of the heavy registration and the slow
ness Of the inspectors. Great indignation is ex-
pressed, especially by the democrats, as the
vote of this city usually shows a democratic
majority.
Eighty three precincts give Harrison II, asa
and Cleveland Il, zoe.
In thjrty-four precincts In Minnesota there
are republican puralities for presidential
electors of l.025, and democratic pluralities Of
AZ. In the same precincts Merriam, rep, for
governor, has .pluralities aggregating sos, and
Wilson, dem, for governor, 643. This leaves a
net republican plurality of 10l Forty towns
in Minnesota give Merriam, rep, ISIS; Wilson

Heavy Voting in the First Hour in
Harrison's Precinct.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 6.-The day opened with
rain. which at 10 O'Clock showed no signs of
abatement. In the second precinct of Gen
Harrison's ward 100 votes we're cast in the first
hour, out of a total vote in 1884 of 1853. The
voting at other precincts was almost as heavy
Toward II O'Clock the rain ceased and there
were signs of clearing, but the atmosphere was
damp, the streets sloppy.
Reports of many arrests were coming in and
attempts to commit frauds.
HARRISON VOTES.
At 1920 O'Clock there was a crowd of about
100 standing around and within livery stable
on Seventh street where the citizens of the third
precinct of the second ward voted. The
rain had ceased shortly before. Two men,
wearing fall overcoats, with collars turned up,
walked quietly along Seventh street, and en-
tered the polling place. 1t was Gen. Harrison
and his son Russell. The distance from their
residence TO the polling place is some 3M
squares. The chute being open when the gen.
eral arrived, he walked up to the window,
handed in his ballot. As the inspector
dropped the paper in the box, he called out
tne name Benjamin Harrison" and the clerks
responded Number 237," signifying the num-
bsr of ballots cast up to that hour. AS this pre-
cinct only cast O2 votes in 1854 and a57 In 1886,
Il will be seen that over two-thirds OF the vote
did not vote, being citizen OF Montana.
GROWING COLDER.
At 1880 o'clock this afternoon the weather
was growing colder and the cold wave signal
was hoisted No rain had fallen for nearly two
hours, but the skies we're cloud-laden and the
day dark.
Il was reported that about 100 arrests had
been made in this city up to that hour. In most
cases the arrested persons are suspects. but In
others they citizens charged with attempt
ing TO bribe or unlawfully influence voters. The
vote cast up TO this hour was unparalleled for
its size
Telegrams from Terre Haute, Vincennes.
Evansville, and New Albany tell OF rainy
weather and heavy voting in all those cities,
with a number of arrests but no trouble.
In Northern Indiana things were quiet, and
but few arrests were known TO have occurred.
The local citizens arrested were carried before
the United States commissioner and all gave
bonds promptly. The only persons that are in
carcerated are q number OF tramps and hard
looking characters, picked up early this morn
ing who were unable to give bail.
