INDIANA ALSO VOTES EARLY.
Half the Votes In at II O'Clock-Promi-
inent Men Arrested.

Special Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. GA steady rain fell
during the greater part Of the morning, but it
has now ceased, and the weather is clear. Re-
ports from over the state indicate an unusually
heavy vote is being polled. In this city the

ALABAMA.
Choosing Presidential Electors and
Representatives I'm Congress.

SnOOsin8 PRESIDENTIAL Electors ana
Representatives In Congress.
MOBILE, ALA. Nov. 6.-There is no state
ticket to be voted for in Alabama at this cleo
ton, which Is confined to the selection Of
presidential electors and Congressman. The
democrats, republicans and prohibitionists
have nominated presidential tickets.
In two or three districts the republicans are
making contest for their congressional candi-
dates, but elsewhere they land likewise the
prohlbitionlsts, have contented themselves
with working for their presidential tickets.
Inc congressional candidates are as follows:
First district, r. b. Clarke, democrat; Frank
Ihreet, republican. Second district, H. A. Her
bert, democrat. Third district, W. G. Oates,
democrat Fourth district, Louis w. Turpin,
democrat; J. v. McDufie, republican. Fifth
district, J; e. Cobb, democrat Sixth district,
!: D. Bonkhead, democrat. Seventh district,
W. b. Forney, democrat; J. D. Hardy, republic
crat
The special significance of the canvass lies
in the fact that the labor element, which
threatened to trouble the democrats two years
the ranks Of that party. Although the prohi-
bitionists have nominated presidential ticket
1t does not appear that they are making much
Roadway, and it is believed that the small vote
cast by them at the last election will be even
further reduced this year.
FULL VOTE LOOKED FOR.
SELMA, ALA, Nov. 6.-The weather is beauti-
full fair and mild. The polls we're open at the
regular hour and voting is going on slowly
without the slightest excitement There are
small crowds collected at the polls.
BIRMINGHAM, ALA, Nov. 6.-The weather is
clear and warm and full vote is being polled,
both parties working hard to bring out their
full strength. The democrats claim slight
gains. There is no excitement, but there have
been several charges Of illegal voting made
against negroes.
DEMOCRATIC GAINS AT ADMISSION.
ADMISSION, ALA, Nov. 6.-The election is
progressing very quietly. The weather is de-
lightful. The democrats, republicans and pro-
hibitionists have electoral tickets in the field.
Forney, democrat, for Congress, has opposi-
ton in George 8. Gather, independents; w.
d. Hardy, republican. Neither the prohibit
tionists nor republicans develop any strength
and reports indicate that the county will go
democratic by good majority. Admission,
which gave majority for Blaine, will 60 for
Cleveland. Only about 800 negroes registered.
At noon the election is progressing quietly,
and it is believed nearly the full registered
vote will be polled.
SHEFFIELD, ALA, Nov. 6.-The weather is
cloudy, but there is no rain. Voting IL pro-
crossing slowly without excitement. The indi-
cations are that fairly full vote will be polled
MOBILE, ALA, Nov. 6.-The weather Is fine.
The vote in the city begins quite light, the
negroes SO far exhibiting more interest than
the whites.

Special Dispatch 10 TIE EVENING STAR.
New HAVEN, Conn.,, Nov. 6.-At 5 o'clock
this morning it was raining. At s, when the
polls had opened, rain had ceased. A thick fog
settled down over the city, and had not disap-
peared at noon. The voting this morning was
the heaviest ON both sides ever known in this
city. Before the polls opened long rows of
workingmen stood in front Of the voting
places anxious 10 obey the injunctions of the
newspapers 10 vote early. Two hours and a
half after voting began in the fourth ward 700
ballots had been deposited, and in the seventh
ward, another democratic stronghold, 600 votes
had been polled- Similar returns came from
other wards and
THE DEMOCRATS WERE HAPPY,
believing that with such an extraordinarily
heavy poll Cleveland would receive plurality
in the towns which the rest of the state could
not Offset but the republicans showed remark
able activity also, and poled their full strength
From other towns in the state come similar re-
ports. The voting goes on quietly, and is the
largest ever known in Connecticut. There was
some uneasiness early in the day among the
democrats over a report that a bogus demo-
cratic ticket had been sent out, defective as to
one electors name, the scheme being to get
enough of these votes into the ballot-box to
cause the defeat of one democratic elector
No such ballots have appeared in New Haven,
however.

Voting for President, Congressman,
Governor and Legislature.
CONCORD, N. H., Nov. 6.-New Hampshire
elects a Governor and legislature to-day be-
sides Presidential electors and Congressman.
David Fl. Goodell, Of Antrim, is the republican
and Charles H. Amsden, of Penacook, is the
democratic candidate for governor. The legis-
latrEe to be chosen will elect q successor to u
8. Senator VIM. E. Chandler. Delegates to the
convention, which is to convene in January,
1885, to revise the constitution of the state will
also be elected. The probabilities are that
there will be no choice for Governor by the
people, a majority being required to elect;
that Mr.. Mute will defeat Mckinney, who is
now in Congress, and that Mr.. Mann will carry
the second district. The legislature will be
close with the chances in favor of the republi-
cans. This will insure the return of a republi-
can to the q. s. Senate.

THE PETERSBURG FIGHT.
Election Officers Not Able to Handle
the CrOwds-DemOcratic Gains.

tuc O01uSs
Special Dispatch to The EVENING STAR.
PETERSBURG, Va, Nov. 6.-Petersburg has
a cloudless sky and a sunny September day.
Her voting population is out in great force
too great, in fact, for her election officials in
some of the colored wards to handle. Long
lines of colored voters, three or four deep,
may be seen at a number of polling places
struggling to make their way to the front, with
only faint prospect Of reaching the desired
point. This is, of course, unsatisfactory to the
republicans, who charge that the delay is a
willful obstruction Of the voters. On the other
hand the democrats assert that the judges are
overloaded in the rush of the colored men
for the ballot box; that in many cases
the resemblance between colored ap-
plicants is SO close, and their places
of abode so mythical that much
questioning in regard to habitation, name, &C.,
Is necessary for maintaining the purity of the
elections. An aged darkey in the sixth ward
this morning, when asked who his father and
mother were, declared he would not know
Gem if they ris from the dead" No doubt
longer hangs over the situation. In this, a
republican and colored stronghold, compared
with the vote for Blaine four years ago,
THE DEMOCRATIC GAIN
ON the presidential vote will be so considerable
as to seriously impair any chance which the
republicans might otherwise have had of car
rying the state. Their angry congressional
fight has given rare opportunity to the dem
ocrats, which the latter have seized, and are
using for all it is worth. Had there been re-
publican union in this matter the majority for
Harrison would have been one of the largest
the district ever gave.
OF THE SITUATION IN GENERAL
it may now be predicted that the republican
presidential vote will fall below that of Blaine
in nearly all counties where the negro vote is
large enough to have invited special considera-
ton and careful treatment at the hands of the
democratic managers. In this connection the
republican claim of gains in the white counties
should be given its just weight. As to this dis
trict, Venable, the democratic candidate for
Congress. will probably be returned as the
elected candidate, with Langston contestant
for the seat. Langston's expectation of con-
testing the seat has already been announced.
1t is not likely that any result favorable to
either of the other candidates would be sub

CHATTANOOGA, TENN, Nov. 6.-The weather
is cloudy and full vote is being cast, party
lines being strictly adhered TO. The limited
number Of polling precincts in this city
creates the fear that all votes cannot be deposited
between the hours Of and 4. Great crowds
are at the polling booths and hundreds of men
are in line waiting their turn to get TO the box
At one booth five votes must be cast every
minute to get the expected votes within the
legal hours.
Challengers are frequently delaying the pro-
gress OF the voting as many negroes from
Georgia and Alabama are attempting TO vote.
Both parties seem sure Of carrying this con-
gressional district
Business Is virtually suspended. The clamor
Of nearly three thousand negro voters in this
city to get to the ballot box is lettering many
white men from voting. There is no disturb
ance.

The Returns from the State Likely to
BE TardY.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 6.-The election laws of
California made rapid canvass impossible. 1t
directs that each ticket which embraces the
candidates for national, state and local offices
be entirely counted seriatim and infiicts a pen
atty for sorting out the tickets in order to
count the straight ballots first. 1t is seldom
that one hundred complete precincts are re-
ported on the night Of an election. This, to-
gether with the difference in time between
California and the East and the necessary de-
lays in telegraphing over great distances, will
tend to make the Pacific coast returns from to-
days election tardy in comparison with those
from points further East.

BLOODY ARRAY IN THE CHINESE QUARTERS OF

SAN FRANCISCO.
SAN Francisco, Nov. Ga desperate fight
occurred in disreputable Chinese house yes
terday between the proprietors and gang of
highbinders who attempted to rob the place
The highbinders had a confederate sleep in
the place and then admit them. Chin, the
highlander leader, threw red pepper into the
eyes of the woman at the door, beat the wife of
the proprietor over the head with an iron bar,
and badly wounded the proprietor. Wong Too,
who was left as guard at the rear door to pre-
vent the escape Of the inmates, tried to shoot
Wong Gong, who appeared at a window ready
to jump. Gong procured rifle and shot the
highlander twice, inficting wounds from which
he died in a few minutes. The police arrested
all the parties. The raid grew out of the fail
ure of the brothel-keepers to pay blackmail to
the highbinders.
