hesitate to express their disgust.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov. S.-There 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 II o'clock not q

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

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Nov. S.-The weather
throughout Wisconsin today is clear and
bracing. The roads have hardened and there
will be no 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
a full vote would undoubtedly be polled were
the weather at it's worst. The State has been
thoroughly stumped by the republicans. Ex-
Senator Spooner has delivered no less than
foctyfour speeches during the past month and
he visited every county in the state
In this city last night there big and
noisy parade of republican clubs in a regular

cratic state and county committees have made
no changes in their estimates as to the result in
the state and county and are confident Of
victory they were yesterday. Voting in the
city began early and is proceeding without ex-

OF this county this morning. As a consequence
heavy vote is being polled and both parties
are working like beavers. Many who have not

Favorable Weather Prevailed Throughout
the State and Citizens Did Their Duty.
CHICAGO, Nov. S.-The nnticipations raised
by the heavy registration in this city have
been fully justified by the unprecedented
vote cast up to noon today. The weather
was clear and cold, and the poll
ing booths opened promptly at O'Clock,
as the law directs, but even before that
hour there were knots OF voters clustered
around the voting places ready to deposit their
votes. 1t is Eafe to say that fully one-half of
the entire vote was cast before 10 o'clock, and
save for a few struggling ballots the judges
and clerks had little to do after noon The in
junction to vote early was generally obeyed.
Little can be said as to the complexion Of the
vote, further than that the indications are of a
pretty strict party vote on the ma
honal ticket, some scratching on the
state officers and q general go-as-you-
nlease SO far as the county officers
are concerned In some wards it was said that
the Luherans were voting soidly for Altgeld,
while in others they were standing by their
former political Affiliations Throughout the
state the same favorable weather prevailed as
in this city, and reports were ali of a heavy

ELECTION BETS.
More Money said to Have Been wag~r~d
Than in 1855.

With the exception OF a small amount
wagered occasionally among those about the
news paper Offices, there seems 20 he very little
betting done today here. As one we'll
known sporting man remarked: The bovs have
put up about all the stuff they care to bet, and
there viii be little more until tonight. when the
returns begin to come in" This IL evidently
the feeling throughout the city. To-
night betting will no doubt be
resumed, and the more mixed the returns
should prove the more active will be the bet
ting. The authorities not quite agreed a.
to whether the amount of betting done here
on todays election Is heavier than four wears
ago. Many contend that il is much
heavier. while Others contend otherwise. Those
best informed state that the betting done on
the present election is someNh hat heavier than
four years ago. but that It has not been SO
general That is, that less parties have
wagered their money. but that the total amount
staked has been larger than on the election Of
lsss. The betting last night was the heaviest
of the season, probably S25.O00 being
put. Cleveland was an even money iavorite on
the general result, as he in New York and
Indiana.
