They were in proper order, and as
soon as they were deposited In their
respective boxes the e1-President went
home.
In the downtown districts it was as

and banks were all closed. The Su-
preme Court was open to dispose OF
any election cases that might come up.
Police headquarters was q scene OF ac-
tivity and 100 reserves were on duty III
readiness in case of trouble. In several

NEW YORK, Nov S.-Dispatches
have been received at democratic head
quarters from Wisconsin, Indiana and
Illinois saying those states would so
democratic.
SYRACUSE, Nov. S.-The day is clou-
dy but mild. Voting is very brisk and
promises large gains over preceding
years. The republicans claim $500 in
Onondaga county and the democrats
concede $500. In this city there is
much use of paster ballots. 1t is very
quiet at the polling places.
WHITE PLAINS, n. y, Nov. S.
Whitelaw Reid arrived here from New
York on II O'Clock train and at once
proceeded to the polls in the first dis
trict, where he voted. He then drove
TO his home at Ophir farm. Mr.. Reid
expressed himself as very hopeful that
the republican electoral ticket would
be elected.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. S.-The wealth
er all over Pennsylvania to-day is clear,
crisp and cool and the sun is shining
brightly. This means that heavy
vote will be cast. Reports from all
parts of the State indicate that sur
orisingly heavy vote is being polled.
There are strong indications 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 at all. The
democrats claim 5000 majority for
Cleveland in Berks county.
WILMINGTON, n. c., Nov. S.-The
weather is warm and cloudy. The
democrats are working with more
energy and system than they have ever
exhibited at any previous election.
They have hired every hack and car
riage in the city, and at 11:30 a. IN. had
polled three-fourths of their vote. The
republicans, which here with few e1.
ceptions means the negroes, are apa-
thetic and will have the smallest vote
they have polled in twenty-five years.
All indications point to very heavy
democratic gain over the vote of 1888.
The greater part of the North Carolina
stay-at-home vote of twenty-five or
thirty thousand will probably be cast
and help tho democrats lsrgely. Re-
ports indicate that tho peoples party
vet, is not coming up to the e1pecta-
tons ofthe leaders. The wires were
kept hot last night circulating over the
State McCune's statement giving up
hope Of success, and it is suspected this
will demoralize the third party. 1t is

gressioral district, which have been
doubtful, are now bright for success by
a safe, though not large majority.
