VOTING IN FRISCO.
SAN Francisco, November S.-The
weather is brilliant. Polls opened in this
city at 6i45 am. In down town precincts
! voting proceeded slowly, not over so bal
lots being cast in some of the precincts by
8:l5 am. In the mission district, ballot
ing is also light, but in that part of the
city bounded by Market street on the
north, the water front on the east and
south and Tenth street on the west a very
heavy vote was pOlled from the time the
booths opened. Balloting in the western

plants were made in a number of pre-
clncts that the election clerks did not al
low the voters sufficient time in which to
prepare the ballot under the new law,
which is a modification of the Australian
ballot system.
At IL am. it was estimated that one
third of the votes had been cast in this city,
and if the balloting proceeds in the same
ratio, it is estimated that the total vote
cast will reach $1,000, as against a registra-
tion of 6S,000.
IN OREGON.
PORTLAND, Nov. s.-The day is perfect.
The polls opened at a. M, and will close
at p. m. Up to ten O'Clock voting pro-
ceeding slowly. Indications are that a
full vote will be the case. Democrats are
generally wheeling into line and voting for
the populfst electors ignoring their own
ticket in obedience to the wishes of the
leaders. No disturbance at the polls is
yet reported.
FAIR WEATHER.
SEATTLE, Nov. S.-Advices from every
Puget Sound county and from several
counties in eastern Washington indicate
fair weather all over the state, and very
heavy vote. In Seattle, long line Of
voters stand at each pooling place, voting
slow on account Of the size of the ticket.
1t is doubtful if the entire vote Of the city
can be polled
ILLEGAL VOTERS.
Los ANGELES, Cal, Noxember 8.-The
weather here is delightful and big vote
is being polled in all As precincts. The
Australian ballot is working smoothly. A
number of men were arrested for Illegal
registration by the federal marshal. One
man swore he could not write, and got
man to fix ballot. when it was discovered
he had not signed his application for final
papers and was arrested.
IN NEW YORK.
NEW YORK, November 8.-The day
dawned cloudy, but soon cleared away,
and with delightfully."- mild temperature
made an ideal day for polling. Advlces
indicate about the same conditions almost
throughout the entire state. Voting be
gan promptly with a large number around
the polls. though the progress of polling is
somewhat delayed by the unfamiliarity of
the voters with the Australian system.
THE AUSTRALIAN SYSTEM.
CHICAGO, November 8.-The day opened
bright and crisp, with long lines Of voters
waiting when the polls opened at am.
Voting was done rapidly in spite of the un-
usual conditions imposed by the inaug-
uration of the Australian system. By IL
am. an unusually heavy vote was polled.
In the German-Lutheran wards indica-
tions are for the democratic state ticket re-
ceiving about two-thirds of that vote, but
the democratic national ticket is running
somewhat behind the state ticket.
Later results seem to indicate that the
Germans are not going so generally to the
democratic state ticket, and that Altgeld,
for governor, would do well if he kept up
with the national ticket.
PREPARED FOR coLoNIzERs.
OMAHA, Nov. 8-The day opened clear
and cold, with prospects for nearly full
registered vote to be polled. Registration,
however, is 1000 less than two years ago.
Fine weather prevails throughout the
state. A heavy vote is being cast in the
country districts and all is quiet. United
States Marshal Slaughter has sent deputies
to Covington, opposite Sioux City, to pre-
vent alleged fraudulent voting by demo
Gratis. Republi charge that the slums
of Sioux City have been secured and voters
colonized at Covington.
