The Heavy Vote Throughout the state vs.
More Than Was Expected.

The Heavy Vote Throughout the state Was
More Than Was Expected.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. S.-The weather all over
Pennsylvania today is clear, crisp and cool and
the sun is shining brightly. This means that a
heavy vote will be cast. Reports from all parts
of the state indicate that surprisingly heavy
vote is being polled There were many predic-
tons that under the new ballot law the vote
would not be SO heavy as in previous years, but
there is every indication that the largest vote
ever recorded will be exceeded today. There
is much interest in the new ballot system and
this is apparently bringing out all Of the voters
READING, Pa, Nov. S.-There are strong in
dications that the full vote will not come out.
Reports from number of districts where Ger
man voters predominant say that many will not
go near the polls nj all. The democrats claim
5000 Majority for Cleveland i'll Berks. but it is
not believed he will get this by far if there are
many stay-at-homes.
LoCKHAvEN, Pa, Nov. 8.-The voting here
is progressing satisfactorily undea the new law
The indications are that the largest vote ever
polled in the county will be cast today. The
weather is fair.
louisville, Pa. Nov. s.-The weather is
exceedingly fine. The entire vote will be polled,
principally because of the Judicial and congress
sional fights.
LEBANON. Pa, Nov. S.-The fine weather is
bringing all Of the voters to the polls Every
A"NieosiOA poAhto W Notc III
county.
PITTsBURG, Pa, Nov. S.-The day opened
clear and frosty-an ideal election day. The
new Baker ballot system was inaugurated and
voting is progressing satisfactorily and with less
friction than was anticipated. The indications
are for a large vote with but slight change
from the usual Estate of Allegheny" result.
ERIE, PA. Nov. 8.-Weather cold and cloudy
Light westerly winds.
SCRANTON, Pa, Nov. s.-Finer weather on an
election day never prevailed in northwest Penn
sylvania than that which prevails today. The
heavy rains which fell during the night have in
| no way damaged the roads, owing to the
parched condition of the ground, the result of
long drought. Voting is proc eeding briskly and
without hitch at all polling places under the
new Baker ballot system. and by noon nearly
all persons who had registered had voted in all
the districts in this city and in Lackawanna
county.
HARRISBURG, Pa, Nov. 8.-A clouldless sky
and crisp bracing atmosphere are conditions
necessary to a heavy vote and such a vote is in
dicated in this city and county today by the
large poll at noon. In some districts more than
half the vote was in at that hour. The Baker
ballot law is working satisfactorily and no COM
plants are heard
EAsToN. Pa. Nov. S.-Weather clear and
bright. A large vote is being polled In
several wards in this city the voting during
the first three hours averaged more than one
a minute,

More Money Said to Have Been wac~r~d
Than in ISSS.

With the exception OF small amount
wage7ed occas;o0lly among those about the
newspaper Offices, there seems To be very little
betting done today here. As one we'll
known sporting mau remarked: The bows have
put mp about ali the staff they care TO bet. and
there viii be little more until tonight. when the
returns begin To come in This Is evidently
The feeling throughout the CITY. To-
night betting viii no doubt De
resumed. and the more mixed the returns
skoEld prove the more active will be the bet
ting. The authorities not quite agreed as
To whether the amount Of betting done here
on todav's election Is heavier than four wears
ago. Many contend that il is much
heavier. while Others contend otherwise. Those
best informed state tina, tIe betting done ON
the present election j. fumt what heavier than
four wears ago, hut that IT has not been sa
general That n. that less parties have
wagered their money. bu; that the total amount
soaked has been largor than on the election Of
1855. The betting last night was the heaviest
OF the season. probably S25.000 being
put. Cleveland was an even money fayori:c on

Special dispatch to The Evening Star.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov. S.--Thero is every
prospect of large democratic majority
in west Tennessee. Reports received from
several Of the rural districts show that
the negro vote will be light. In
some districts up to IL o'clock not a
single negro had voted. The poll tax and the
necessaries OF the Australian ballot system will
keep them away. The cool and pleasant
weather is drawing out the democrats in
large numbers. 1t is hard to get a
populist at the polls and impossible to
say where their strength will come from. Yes
terday the third party managers sent out a cir
cular to the effect that the democrats admitted
Turneys defeat for governor and would vote for
Winsted in order to defeat Buchanan, the popu-
list candidate. The circular has been received
with laugh. One of the most intelligent pop
Mist in this county declares that Buchanan's
vote will not be over 10000 in the state: that
Weaver will not get over 5000 votes
and that Patterson, democrat, will be
easily elected to Congress in this dis
trict. There is good reason to believe
that Cleveland will have at least 5000 majority
in this. Shelby county, and house to house
canvass in Davidson county next to the largest
in the state, gives him 5, 200 plurality over Har
rison. If these estimates prove true Cleveland's
majority in Tennessee is apt to reach 40 600.

CINCINNATI, OHIO, Nov. S.-The weather all
over Ohio is bright and cold. Reports indicate
heavy vote. Cincinnati will poll about 90 per
cent Of its registered vote or close on TO 65 OO0
hamilton county. of which this city is part.
will throw over $4,000 ballots The indications
are that Harrison will carry the county
by from $500 to 1000 although
the republicans claim that it NAV reach 600
There Is claim that Storer republican. in the
first district. may be defeated by Bowler. dem
ocrat, but Caldwell, republican. in the second
district. will win by upwards of 5000 majority
The democrats will. it is thought eject Haggerlv
for auditor and possibly Oveerner for coroner.
but the rest of the county ticket is surely re-
publican. The people and prohibition parties
combined will hardly get 10000 votes
in this county. As has been the
case ever since the passage of the
secret ballot law the election is very
peaceablc and quiet. no disturbances being re-
ported from any locality
A dispatch from Mansfield claims the
election of Harter over Johnson in the

In the seventeenth district The result
OF the vote in Ohio will probably be known be-
fore midnight. The republican majority on
the state and national ticket will not be less
than 10000 and the congressional delegation
will probably stand fifteen republicans and six
democrats.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. s.--The ''early'' or
laborers' vote this morning was larger than in
any previous election, and notwithstanding the
fact that the Australian ballot system hampered
the average voter the tickets were deposited
at each booth at the rate of three per min
ute. The national ticket is receiving its parti-
vote. but there Is some scratching on the
state ticket. The American Protective Assoc
citation is making fight against J. b. OMeara,
democratic candidate for lieutenant governor
religious grounds. and as their vote is an I'M
known quantity the effect will not be known un-
til later. The city ticket ia generally being
voted straight. with the exception of circuit

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Nov. S.-The weather
throughout Wisconsin today is clear and
bracing. The roads have hardened and there
will be 10 blockade of voters by mud. This
presaGes full vote and is regarded
with satisfaction by the republicans. who
are counting heavily on the saving power of
the stay-at-home vote of two years ago. But
full vote would undoubtedly be polled were
the weather at its worst. The state has been
thoroughly stumped by the republicans. Ex-
Senator Spooner has delivered no less than
fOr.y-four speeches during the past month and
he visited every county in the state.
