BRIEF WlRINGS::-
TO-DAY'S STATE ELECTIONS
Fine Weather and Big yote-The situa-
tion in Ohio, New York and Other
States.

New YORK CRY, Nov. 3.-Dispatches
from all parts of the state say that large
vote is being polIed and that the greatest
earnestness is being manifested on both
sides. Both Republicans and Democrats
make sweeping claims of victory for their
entire tickets. 1t is conceded that in a
large measure the result rests upon the
vote below the Harlem. If the Republi-
cans come down the state with $4,000
majority, and it is admitted in Democratic
circles that they are likely to do 30, the
victory will be narrow one for either
side. The Democrats claim IS 900 major
ity in New York, Kings, Queens and
Suffolk counties, and it will only take a
small loss from this estimate to give the
Republican ticket close plurality. At
noon, however, the Democrats are claim
ing majorities for the entire ticket, vary
ing from 10000 to 10000. The amount Of
betting on the result that has been done
is unprecedented except in a presidential
year.
Columbus, Ohio.--The voters of both
the principal parties are turning out i'll
force to-day, according to kilograms from
nearly every county. So far as can be
judged, the Farmers Alliance ticket is
not cutting as much of a figure as had
been anticipated. Interest largely centers
upon Hamilton county, where the Repub-
licans expect majority of not less than
10000 for the great champion of protec-
ton. There will be some Democratic
gains in the agricultural districts, but
this may in some measure be offset by
an increased Republican vote in some OF
the cities. The probabilities are that the
successful candidate will have but mar.
row plurality. A good many of McKin-
ley's friends are of the opinion that
should he get big majority it will give
him a tremendous boost for the presiden-
tial nomination, and as a result, they are
working with might and main to secure
him all the votes possible.
Des Moines. lowa.-A full vote is being
polled and dispatches say that an es-
pecially large Republican vote is out.
The Republicans claim that Wheeler's
election is assured by at least 1000. On
the other hand, the Democrats say that
they are perfectly satisfied with the out
look and that they are polling more votes
than two years ago, when Boies was
elected.
Detroit, Mich.-The main event of
policical Importance in this state to-day
is the special election in the Grand Rapids
district to elect successor to Congress
man Melbourne H. Ford, who died last
spring. Charles 4. Belknap is the nomi-
nee OF the Republicans, ohm S. Lawrance
of the Democrats, Edward Hutchins Cf
the Peoples party and Henry Schultes of
the Prohibitionists. Belknap served as
member of the last congress. The elec-
ton will be the first under the election
law passed by the last legislature, and
which compels the voters in a great
measure to cast an absolute vest. t.pocket
vote. The peddling of tickets outside is
prohibited under heavy penalties.
Trenton, N. Jan entire house of as
sembly is being elected to-day. The last
house contained forty Democrats and
twenty Republicans. Several senators
are also to be elected. The Democrats
need to elect only two of the new ones
to retain control of the body, while the
must elect six in order to
capture it. The Republicans have a
fighting chance for success but the pros
poets are that the legislature will remain |
Democratic.
Harrisburgh, Pa.-Both Republicans
and Democrats are getting out heavy
vote for their nominees for treasurer and |
auditor general. The recent financial
disclosures haye introduced an element
of uncertainty into the contest. The
prospects are that the Republican candi-
