CINCINNATI, Nov. 3.-[Special THE
election to-day was one of the most

tory ever held in Cincinnati. The cleo

free from annoyance by election bum
mers, whose occupation is gone.
Here and there were cases where the
now method caused delays that cut off
the elective franchise to some voter
who could not control his time, or who
became impatient at the restraint of the
law. In Cincinnati the polls closed at 4
p. m. In other parts OF the State the
close was at 6 o'clock. From all points
during the day full vote was reported,
and until after thetelose Of the polls the
predictions of the morning were repeated
with confidence.
Returns from Ohio will be compared
with vote of secretary Of State in 1890,
when Ryan, Republican, had a plural
ity Of l0,969. G
There have been large number of
additional precincts formed since 1890,
but subdivisions will be added together
and the vote compared with the old
precincts &C they existed in 1890.
There were then 2,4a3 precincts.
At nine o'clock only eight precincts in
Hamilton county show Democratic gain
OF So. This indicates majority of 5000
for Mckinley.
Fifteen precincts in Ohio outside of
Cincinnati rate: Mckinley 2.O90; Camp
bell, 1,3 0. The same precincts in 1890
gave Ryan 1867, Crowley l,l5l.
Returns from thirty precincts in
Hamilton county show Democratic gains
of $40. Carrying TIE same ratio through
the remaining POI. precincts the Repub-
lican plurality in the county would be
over 1000.
Thirty-nine precincts in Ohio, outside
of Cincinnati, give Mckinley 4,0s9;
Campbell, 1850. Campbell's gain over
Ryan's vote is IS.
Fifty precincts in Ohio outside
of Cincinnati give Mckinley 7,423 and
Campbell 1898. McI[inley's gain over
Ryan, Republican, last year is 146. One
hundred ana eighty-three precincts out
side of Cincinnati give Mckinley 2l,475
and Campbell 1881.
M'KINLEY MAY RE THE MAN.
Mckinley is elected by at least 10, 600.
Returns thus far received from the
State show small gains by Mckinley
over last year, when Ryan. Republican
had 1000 majority. McKinlcy's ma.
| jority in Hamilton county. however,
will be greatly below Ryan's 5000 ma.

NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-[Speciall The
election in New York State to-day was
for Governor. Acknowledgements, sec
rotary OF State, comptroller, treasurer,
attorney general and engineer; for four
congressman to fill vacancies caused by
three designations and one death; for
eight justices of the supreme court; for
full Senate of thirty-two members and
full assembly of 1913 members. The
Congressman last elected in districts
where elections were held today were:
Democrats, 8; Republicans, /. The
last Senate consisted of 10 Republicans
and 13 Democrats. The last assembly
consisted of GO Democrats and 60 Re
publicans. New York city also voted
for local Judges, coronerS and aldermen,
and Brooklyn for mayor and other CITY
officers.
AT $3.50 p. m. Fassett's majority in 434
districts outside of New York and Kings
counties was 1,742. In these distric Is
Fassett was behind the vote of Miller in
1883, 10,9s9. Flowers vote was behind
HIPS vote only AGES. At this hour
Fassett's majority of ZAP in the county
is opposed by Flowers majorities of
53,S70 in New York, and 1851 in
Brooklyn, with Suffolk, Queen and
Richmond counties, all Democratic, to
hear from.
Election districts from all parts of the
State show that Fassett's majority in
ifty-five counties north of Harlem
river will not exceed that of Davenport
in 1885, which was 49,27l. Flowers
majority south of Harlem river will be
about $4,000.
Careful estimate gives Flower major
ity in Kings county of $4,000. Fifty dis
tricts in The second congressional district
give Chaplin, Democrat, a majority of
1879.
Seven hundred and thirty-one cleo
tion districts in New York State
give Flower S3,234, Fassett 86,543 In
1888 they gave Hill 1920 and Miller
114,O8O.
Eight hundred and seventy-two dis
tricts give Flower 142,6 and Fassett
81, 03S.
Flower leads Fassett in New York
city complete by $500 In Brooklyn,
with only seventy-fve districts missing,
he leads by 1902.
One thousand. three hundred and
thirtyfour districts (outside of New York
and Kings) not vet heard from, gave in
1888 Hill col, 254 and Miller 22O,9i5.
Miller thus had in these districts plu-
rality OF 1861.
In case Fassett should have this same
plurality in the districts yet to hear
from his total plurality outside of New
York and King counties would / e, 81, 075,
Flowers plurality in New York city
being $500 and in Kings county about
10000.
1t. would thus appear probable that
Flowers majority will be somewhat
over 10000.

In Jefferson, Clinton, Essex, Mont

The S0uth's Prosperity.

Financially, the Southern States are
glowing with health and promise and
rejoicing in the consciousness Of their
essential greatness. No Juror has been
created by sensational advertising, but
the world has been astonished by the
latest statistics of wonderful growth az
shown in the national census of 1890.
The sum of all is in the fact that the as
sessed value of property in nine States is
estimated by the census officials to have
grown from So, 600, 600, 600 in 1880 t.
to Sc, 600, 000, 900 in 1890.
The reports of the census everywhere
tell of enlarged and charging areas of
cultivation, of new mines of coal and
iron, excellent in quality and inexhausti.
bic in quantity, of new manufactures in
every department of human industry.
All the bases of wealth and of sound and
satisfactory finances are here, and in my
opinion Southern enterprises are ami
mated, sustained, and fortified by as
sincere and high a regard for CONNER
cial credit and personal honor, and by as
profound a conviction of the necessity of
fair dealing, as are to be found any

The Best Battles of the War.

John G. Ropes in an article on t'The
War as We See 1t Now" printed in
Scribner's, is responsible fol- the follow
ing:
The national instinct on this subject
is perfectly correct. 1t was at Gettys
burg and Chickamauga that our Ameri-
can armies were at their best and did
their best. Never were ~they--either be-
fore OF after those memorable engage
ments-so strong, SO well differed. So
fierce, SO determined to win, SO resolved
not 10 yield. They were then, we re-
peat, at their discriminating none but
seasoned troops, under veteran officers,
Injured to war, both armies confident of
victory, and pretty nearly, taking ali
things together, equally matched. And
no one can read the story of those great
battle without being proud of his
try and his race, for never was there
more resolute and obstinate and gallant
fighting done, nor ever were severe losses
more unshrinkingly borne. Nor can it
be truly said of either of these battles
that the beaten army did not fight as
hard and as long as its more successful
antagonist. There is glory enough for
all. Hence it is fitting that both fields
-Gettys5urg and Chickamauga-should
be dedicated to the perpetual remem-
brance of the great battles SO worthily
fought there.

The Breathing Of d Locomotive.

The ..breathing'' of a locomotive
that Is to say, the number of pulls given
by a railway engine during its journey
depends upon the circumference OF It's
driving wheels and their speed. No mat
ter what the rate Of speed may be, for
every one round of the driving wheels a
locomotive viii give four puffs-two out
of each cylinder, the cylinders being
double. The sizes of driving wheels vary,
some beng eighteen, nineteen, twenty
and even twenty-five feet in clrcumter-
ence, although they are generally made
of about twenty feet. The express speed
varies from ffty-four to ffty-eight miles
an hour. Taking the average circumfer-
ence of the driving wheel to be twenty
feet, and the speed per hour fifty miles,
a locomotive will give, going at express
speed, $50 puffs per minute. OF 52,o0o
puffs per hour, the wheel revolving b.
200 times in sixty minutes, giving 1906
pufs per mile. Therefore, an express
going from London to Liverpool, a dis
lance Of 2014 miles, will throw u
213, 048 puffs before arriving at its des-
tination. During the tourist season of
1888 the journey from London to Edin-
burgh wa accomplished in less than
eight hours, the distance being 4O1 miles,
giving q speed throughout of fifty miles
an hour. A locomotive of an express
train from London to Edinburgh, sub
ject to the above conditions, will give
