BATTLE of BALLOTS IN A NUMBER
OF STATES.
An Unusually Large Vote Being
PoIIed in Several states Where the
Contest Is Close and the Various
Candidates Are Sure of Winning.

Cincinnati, Nov. Z. - Election day
opened bright, and there were crowds
about the polls almost as soon they
opened. There Will be large vote
rolled in Cincinnati and Hamilton coun-
ty. but there are no means OF ascertain
ing at this hour how the election will go,
but both sides are confident
Columbus. Ohio Nov IA heavy vote
is being polled although there is no ex-
citcmcnt At tn Republican headquar-
ters it is claimed that the entire ticket
will bc elected and that Mckinley's ma
jority wiz be ut least 10000. The Dem
ocrats do not concede these claims, but
they are by no means so confident of car
ryiug the state as are the Republicans.
New York, Nov. THE most hotly
contested election in years except presi-
Dental election, is on in New York
Reports fom all over the state say that
large vote is being polled. 1t Is
fight against Judge Maynard, the Demo
cratic candidate for Judge of appeals,
and all other issues are lost sight of. A
majority of the legal fraternity Of the
state seem to be opposed to Maynard,
and many predict that he will be defeat
ed Sanguine Republicans 60 so far as
to claim sweeping victory for their
whole ticket The Democrats seem to
have little fear Of the loss Of the legis-
lature, and while the Republicans may
again secure control Of the senate, the
more conservative of both parties believe
that the Democrats will have IL majority
on joint ballot The mayoralty election
I'm Brooklyn is hot one, and there Is
considerable excitement in that city.
Des Noines Iowa, Nov. THE polls
will close this evening on one OF the most
hotly contested elections ever held III
Iowa. A heavy vote is being polled, and
it will probably be several days before the
actual result is known. AT the Republic
an Headquarters they claim a plurality
for Jackson of 500, with little more
on the remainder Of the ticket, on account
of the fight made on Jackson by the
prohibitionists, and safe majorities in
both houses of the legislature The
Democrats are equally confident of the
election Of Gov. Boies and the remainder
of their ticket. They feel that prohibi-
tion disaffection will deplete the Repub-
tican ranks They find it difficult to make
estimates because of the Populist vote,
which Is expected to come largely from
the Democratic ranks. The repeal Of the
Sherman law has resulted in greatly in
creased activity on the part of the popn-
lists during the past few days. Their
secretary feels confident that their candi-
date for governor Joseph will poll 3d.
Ooa votes. They also expect to elect
several legislators, and are hoping to
secure the balance Of power

that Greenhaige will have q majority Of
nt least 5000, and the Democrats make
an equally confident claim for John II
Russell.
Baltimore. Md, Nov There is little
interest being taken in today's election,
as the state is largely Democratic and the
Rapnhlicans have made little effort.
Marion de Kalb Smith Of Kent, the pres
ent state controller, is the Democratic

publican, and II. T.. Wright the Pro-
hibition. Smith will undoubtedly be re-
] elected.

cent history Of the state, and to-day
