At $50 o'clock this afternoon the negro
Judge of the election at the first precinct in
Jackson ward left the room for half an
hour. When he returned he preferred
charges against Preston Belvin and
H. W. Smith. Jr., for obstructing
voters. The other two judges tried the
case and discharged Belyin and Smith, and
required the negro judge to pay the costs.
This nettled the negro, and he refused to
serve as judge any longer. This put stop
to the voting, but it was resumed about
o'clock. At the second precinct in the same
ward Fred Mussey, correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. got into
difficulty with commercial traveller, who
