OHIO.
CINCINNATI, November 3.-The day
has been, in many respects, an ideal
election day. Here in Cincinnati it has
been cloudy, cool and brscing, with fine
flakes of snow toward evening. Every
thing has been quiet. There has been an
absence of rioting and polling place dis
turbances such as have characterized
Cincinnati elections in the past, and all
on account of the new system of
voting. The only tickets are
those in possession of the judges,
and voter is given one only when he
is found duly registered. Conservative
citizen of all parties are loud in their
praises of the new system. From all
over the state come favorable reports
of the workings of the system, repub-
licans praising it as we'll democrats,
and that, too, in spite of the loud an
nouncements of the republican organs
that the kangaroo ballot must go. La
test returns give the state to. McKin
ley by $1,000 plurality.
PENNSYLVANIA.
A Philadelphia dispatch of Wednesday
says: Complete returns from IS of the
81 counties in the state, including Phila-
delphia and Allegheny, and careful esti-
mates for the other IA counties, show a
plurality of Sc, 64S for Gregg, republican,
for auditor general. The proposition for
constitutional convention was over
whelmingly defeated.
KANSAS.
KANSAS CITY, Mo, November S.-Dis-
patches received from all parts of Kansas
where elections are being held to-day
show that an orderly and closely contest
ed election is 10 progress. Perhaps
never in the history Of the state has the
situation been more complicated. The
are thoroughly aroused and
fighting the peoples party hard. While
there are no state officers to be elected,
yet in judicial districts and counties party
lines are closely defined, and the fight
is waged on the general principles of the
peoples party and republican doctrines.
The democrats have no hope of success,
except where they have fused. with. the
peoples party, and the contest with them
is more for organization than Office.
A dispatch from Topeka says: The
elections in Kansas Tuesday resulted in
an overwhelming victory for the republic
cans. Four county officers were elected
in each of the 106 counties. The latest
returns show that out of this total, 424
officers, the advance peoples party has
not elected more than CO. Lust year the
same number of county officers were elect
ed in the state. and the republicans only
secured 112. The peoples party elected
1 out of 10 district judges, and that in
district where two republicans claimed
the nomination and remained in the field.
COLORADO.
The weather was warm and cloudy,
and the election was, beyond all question,
the most peaceful ever held in Denver.
Considering the fact that this is an off
year, and that the Australian system
which went into effect had disfranchised
yet the vote cast was surprls-
ingly heavy one. There were Eve tickets
in the field-democra attic, republican,
peoples party and peoples
bipartisan party, the two first polling
q vote, the other three having little
show. No state officers we're voted for
except chief justice of the supreme court,
and but little scratching was done, and
that entirely among names for local Of
fcers.
MASSACHUSETTS.
BosroN, November 3.-Returns from
the polls in the city proper this morning
give but little indication of the large in
crease reported in the registration. All
points report the polling to be steadily
going on, without any unusual excite
ment or manifestation of interest. The
various election, officers state that the
voting this year is being done much
mure orderly and with greater rapidity
than last year, showing that the citizens
have become accustomed to the techni-
calities of the Australian system. Every
where the best o. order is being pre-
served.
