special Dlspatch TO THE EVENING star,
CINCINNATI, ONO, Nov. 5.-The weather il
delightful and indications point to large vote
in Ohio today. A lively interest is manifested
at all voting places in the city and voting is
progressing rapidly. In some Of the wards
more than half the registered vote had been
cast at 10 o'clock this morning. There is no
special excitement, but there is great deal Of
earnest work in progress. The enforcement Of
the liquor aid Sunday laws in this city is going
to reduce the republican majorties here, but
to what extent it is impossible to conjecture
at this hour. Foraker may carry this
county, but the most enthusiastic republicans
are not sanguine on this point. The saloon
element in the German quarter are scratching
MS name and may or may not vote for Camp
bell, the democratic candidate, while the vote
OF the temperance and law and order league is
an uncertain quantity. There is no news here
from the state at this hour, but complete re-
publican victory is certain. The closest cal
culatlon at republican headquarters in Colum-
bus last midnight figured a majority for Fora
ker OF about $4,000 making an allowance
for loss OF more than 10000, az COM
pared with his plurality two years
ago. The same calculations also make
the legislature republican in both branches
without even counting Hamilton county which
is almost certain to elect at least one-half the
ticket.
The Pan-American visitors are here and TAX

divided up into small parties and visited many
OF the voting places. They were up bright
and early this morning and witnessed the open
ing OF the polls In various parts of the city.
Cleveland.
CLEVELAND, Nov. 5.-The republicans were
encouraged this morning by the reports of fair
weather in northern Ohio. At the republican
headquarters in this city it was estimated that
the absence OF rain meant from $500 to 5000
republican votes in the western reserve.
voters going to the polls this morning
found, instead of long line of solictous ticket
peddiers, neat little election booths upon
which were heaped the tickets Courteous Off
cials were in charge and voters were supplied
with the tickets of their choice as speedily
judges and clerks. The voting between
8 and O'Clock was fairly heavy Later in
the forenoon it became lighter, increasing
again at noon. At the Office of the board of
elections it was estimated from the early morn
ing reports that about 81. 900 votes would be
cast in the city, with nearly fun
vote in the townships. About one-third
Of the city's vote had been cast at 10 o'clock.
There was nothing in any way approaching
excitement. People were not allowed to con-
gregate about the polls and no crowds were
visible anywhere. Voters of both parties
seemed to be using the lead pencil less fire.
quently than usual in local elections For this
reason 1t was estimated that tho counting would
be rapid and that returns from some of the
wards might be expected by $50 or o'clock.
Columbus.
COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 5.-The indications up
to noon are that heavy vote will be polled.
Foraker is being scratched. but not to the ex-
