Excellent Weather Throughout the State
Induces Heavy Voting.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 3.-The polls in this
state remain open from I'm. to pm. The
weather throughout the state is bright and
cool and there is thus every inducement for q
big ofT-year vote. The city treasuryship fight
is bringing out large vote in this city. The
state law prohibits the compilation Of votes in
the various voting precincts until the polls are
closed, and nothing official can therefore be
learned until night. Comparisons in the county
returns in the dispatches tonight will be made
with the vote for state treasurer in 1889, when
Boyer (rep.) Was elected by 60,9O6 in total
vote Of GAS, 042, as follows Boyer (rep), 34l,-
pa: Bigler (dem.) 2S0, SSS; Johnston (pro.
Il 1908; scattering, 1852.
PITrsBURe, Nov. 3.-Ihe election IL proceed
ing quietly. A bright day is bringing out a
much larger vote than was anticipated and the
indications are that full vote will be polled.
In the fight over the Judiciary ticket the state
ticket in Allegheny county has been lost sight
OF, but 1t Is probable the returns will show the
usual republican majority. The Judiciary con-
test Is most remarkable and complicated and
the voting today ends the hottest campaign in
this county tor years. The popularity OF the
fight lies in the fact that the two oldest es-
tablished political parties of the county, which
are generally bitterly opposed to each other,
are working together hand in hand for the
same ticket against q new movement known as
the ''straightouts." While tho straightouts
have made vigorous canvass, it is not be-
lieved they will be successful against the COM
bined work OF the republicans and democrats.

TRADING IN PHILADELPHIA.

Republicans Cutting Morrison to Help Gen

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. 2
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 3.-The election in this
city is progressing without incident up to The
noon hour. About an average vote had been
castin most of the precincts and those who stand
about the poles say that there is less scratch.
ing by the republicans than the democrats
hoped for. The interest in the election in the
city is unusual for an of year and it 10 likely
that heavy vote will be polled before night.
George D. McCreary, on account of his great
personal popularity among his business asso.
ciates. is drawing well for city treasurer,
though VIM. Redwood Wright, tho democratic
appointee to fill out the term OF the disgraced
Bardsiey. is being voted for by many indie
pendent republicans.
On the state ticket there are rumors Of trad
ing. The old soldier element IL working hard
for Gen. Gregg,. the republican candidate for
auditor general There are many veterans
about the polls. Gregg will certainly make a
pull ahead OF his running mate, Mr.. Morrison,
the candidate of state treasurer. Z
Republicans are Offering votes for Tilden.

urer, in return for votes for Gen. Gregg.
Many Tilden stickers are being used in this

VOTERS AFRAID TO ~scRAroaz, >.

As General Thing Straight Ballots De.
posited in Cincinnati.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
CINCINNATI, ONO, Nov. S.-The election IN
this city is progressing very quietly and . large
vote is being polled. The reports from the
various polls in the city show that at noon one
half the registered vote had been polled. There
is some complaint from the German wards
about the poor facilities for the new ballot
system.
So far as making any predictions. the politi-
cians know no more tlnn they did last night
1t is impossible to tell how the vote is being
cast. although the republicans insist that they
will have from 1000 to $4,000 plurality in this
city alone.
So far as heard from all over the state the
is expected that the trouble will come over the
counting Of the ballots.
POLLS CLOSE AT O'CLOCK.
The polls in Cincinnati and all the other
cities in the state will close at o'clock, while
in the country they will remain open until 6.
It is said by the judges Of election that 50
far as they have noticed vast majority of the
tickets are being polled straight. This is
particularly true OF the Irish and German
wards, where the voters are afraid of making
some mistake in scratching and therefore put
the cross mark opposite the name Of their
party. The result in this county win hardly
be known before midnight, and X the contest
in the state is close it may be late as tonaor-
row afternoon before all the returns come in.
The republicans, although they have no
definite figures and cannot have under the
present system Of voting, claim the election Of
Mckinley by 21,000 plurality. Tho democrats
think that the indications point to the election
Of Campbell by from 1000 to 5000 plurality.
The peoples party is not cutting much of a
figure in this city and will hardly poll more
than 80, 900 votes in the state.
