The Democrats Elect at Least Twelve
of the Congressman.
CINCINNATI. o., Nov. 4.-The weather
was fair, and voting progressed quietly. In
many precincts two-thirds of the registered
vote was in before O'clock.
With the exception Of few saloonkeepers
who violated the law by keeping their
places open ON election day, there were nc
arrests in this city to-day on account Of the
election. A law, which has been in effect
several years, prohibits gathering within
160 feet of the polling places, and the conse-
quence is that there are no gatherings at all
and none of the excitement fostered by
crowds Is now to be seen at elections. Be
sides, there has been no unusual excitement
here during the canvass, no torchlight pro-
cession, no outdoor meetings and little of
the bitterness or wrangling usually preced-
ing an election. To-day's voting was a
reflex Of the dignifed calmness that has
marked the conduct of the campaign.
Voters approached the polls free from the
solicitations of the ward workers, and on
dspositing their ballots left the place.
As result there were no
quarrels and no crimes, and voters
went about their business, confident that
with efficient administration of the regis
tration law there was no need of scrutiny
to see that there was no default of the
peoples will by trickery or criminal per-
version of the returns. Divisions among
the democrats, caused by the abolishmant
OF the board Of city improvements, at the
suggestion OF Gov. Campbell, he d its effect
in the general apathy among many of the
most active men In the Democratic party.
So, when the polls closed, there was a gem
eral feeling that the republicans had carried
the county by good ajority, that Storrs,
rep, had defeated Cosgrave in the First
district, and that Caldwell, rep, in the
Second district. was elected by handsome
majority. The democrats do not generally
concede the defeat Of Cosgrave, and some
Of them claim the election Of the demo-
cratic sheriff.
oHIo's DELEGATION.
CINCINNATI Nov. 5, 3 A. M.-Ohio elects
S REPUBLICAN congressman and 12 democrats,
with the Sixteenth district TO hear from.
AT CANTON
CANTON, O., Nov. 4.--The weather was
disagreeaole with snow, rain and fog In the
morning, with indications Of clearing
weather. All interest conferred on the CO l.
gressional ticket. Maj. Mckinley was
heartily cheered when he approached the
polls at 9 O'Clock and voted. So far as The
party managers could exert themselves
every vote was polled.
Interest in the outcome of the election
was so general that business was practically
suspended.
AT COLUMBUS.
COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 4-The weather has
continued gloomy all day, and toward
evening strongly threatened TO rain. The
falling off in the vote seems In great meas
ure to be confined TO the German wards, and
the republicans, theref re. anticipate some
advantage, but reports from republican
strongholds also indicate short vote, though
hardly to the extent that will affect the
democratic shortage. The contest was con-
fined almost exclusively TO the local ticket
and muca scratching is being done. The
vote on congressman claimed no attention,
and Mr.. Cultivate viii be elected with a
slight falling off from the usual democratic
majority in his district.
Early returns from nearly every section
of the state indicated republican victory on
minor state officers by majorities ranging
from Il, 600 TO 10000
LOOKS LIKE M'KIELEY.
COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 5, 8 A. M.-Two
private teiegrams which have just been re-
ceived at republican headquarters which, il
true, insure the election of Mckinley. One
of the kilograms stated that Wayne county
gives Mckinley 900 majority, which shows
a change Of sos votes IN bis favor. The
other dispatch states that in "a precincts of
Stark county. McKinIey's home, McKinr
ley made a gain of 800 votes. This informa-
tion has NOT yet been contradicted nor ver-
ified by Official returns. Donovan, DEM,
is elected over Brigham. rep. in the Sixth
district In the Second district Caldwell,
rep. is elected over Brown. dem.
