FORAKER FULL OF FEAR.

HAD GONE DEMOCRATIC.


the Head of the Republican Ticket.
CINCINNATI, O., Nov. 5-Election day
was blessed with unusual weather, clear
and bright, with just enough chilliness in
the temperature to make the air bracing.
In this city and county the polls closed at
4 o'clock. Hence a very large vote was
cast in the morning, beginning at o'clock.
The fine weather facilitated early
voting. and in all the precincts
heard from at 10 O'Clock. fully two-thirds
OF the entire registered vote had been cast.
Under the election law no crowding alb ut
the polls was permitted, and the old habit
of gathering in large numbers about the
polling places was entirely broken up.
In Ohio a governor and other state
officers, members of the legislature and
county officers were 10 be chosen, and three
proposed amendments to the constitution
voted upon. The new legislature will elect
United States senator to succeed Henry
ID. Payne, dem, whose term expires in 1891.
In the last legislature the republicans had
thirty three majority on joint ballot. The
first of the proposed amendments strikes
out section 2 of article XII, the clause speci-
flying the particular kinds of property sub
ject to taxation; the second makes impor-
tant changes in sections to II, inclusive, of
article XII, relating to the apportionment of
senators and representatives, and the third
strikes out the word ''bienniaw in article
H., (relating to sessions of the legislature)
and modihes articles I'LL, w., VIII, X. and
XVI, which relate to the state officers, the
courts and county officers. The plurality
for Foraker in the state in 1887, was q, ,S29.

A WELL-REGULATED ELECTION.
The election in this city aud county was
under the control of the board Of elections
They appoint and control all registrars,
judges and clerks, and see that both parties
are fairly represented in these appoint
ments. The voting can only be- done after
registration, and that work is SO care
fully guarded that no loopholes for
successful fraud have yet been found. A
hundred feet on each side of the voting
place a line is stretched across the sidewalk,
which is marked by a flag. Within the
space thus marked no ticket holders re
allowed, but only the voter, who is thus en-
abled to reach the polls undisturbed and
deposit his vote. The plan works perfectly,
and only two or three arrests were
made during the day. These were
for dlsorderly conduct, and ono for
an attempt to vote illegally. The chal-
longing committees, whose numbers are
regulated by the boards of election, and are
supplied with books containing printed
lists Of the registered voters, were ready to
make it unpleasant for Y enterprising
who tried to reproduce the pro-
ceedings of elections under the old regime.
Quite early in the day Gov. Foraker, who
is resident of precinct c, ward 26, Oh
Walnut Hills, went to the polls with Gen.
Hall OF Maine, and there deposited his
ballot.
THE EXCITEMENT AT COLUMBUS.
COLUMBUS, o., Nov 5.--The election in
Columbus was Que of the most quiet ever
experienced in this city. The monotony
was scarcely varied by an incident worthy
Of note. The weather was superb, and the
republicans early thought this was an omen
OF success. The registration machinery
made the voting one of form rather than
excitement. The polls did not close until
9 o'clock.
CAMPBELL's ELECTION CLAIMED.
COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 6, A. M.-The re-
turns from the state have been so slow that
the state committees have been unable TO
make any exact statement as to the result
Of the election on either the state or legisla-
tive tickets. The republican state execu-

vote to an immense throng. The
democratic national committee had no hall,
receiving the news at its rooms, but the
local committee had quite a crowd in an
other part Of the city. Gov. Foraker came
up from Cincinnati tonight, but
was 80 fatigued that he had to
go to his home and rest. A
private wire was run into his office, where
his private secretary, the members of the
state committee and prominent repub-
leans among them Stephen A. DoIglas,
Jr., of Chicago. figured on the returns.
Everywhere there was long list of candi-
tates to be voted on, besides the three prop
>sitions to amend the state constitution,
and the count was very slow.
ONLY A FIFTH HEARD FROM.
At midnight considerably less than one
ifth of the state, outside Of Hamilton
county, had been heard from, and the re-
parts showed heavy democratic gains. The

was very little demonstration on the streets,
