MILWAUKEE, Wis, Nov. 8.-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
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
forty-four speeches during the past month and
he visited every county in the state
In this city last night there was big and
noisy parade of republican clubs in u regular
arctic gale. This shows the temper of the
workers in this section and indicates that the
fight in Milwaukee county and in the fourth
congressional district will be very close.
The chairnen of the republican and demo-
cratic state and county committees have made
no changes in their estimates as to the result in
the state and county and are as confident of
victory as they were yesterday. Voting in the
city began early and is proceeding without ex-
citement or incident.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
HAGrRsTowN, Mp, Nov. S.-A cloudless sky
and delightful atmosphere greeted the voters
of this county thi, morning. As a consequence
a heavy vote is being polled and both parties
are working like beavers. Many who have not
voted for a number Of years can be seen in
line at the polling places. This the republicans
claim augurs well for them full vote
they have a small majority. The fight seems to
be entirely on Congressman, with Harrison and
Cleveland in the background.
At this hour it is impossible to indicate the
result. Both parties are confident and are
wagering money freely upon their favorites.
The voting is being done under the Australian
ballot system. which is barrier to politicians
others in figuring with any degree of GER
tainty upon the outcome. The Wellington
men are exuberant, however, and many of
them are upon the streets wearing Wellington
badges.
