Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, November 6.-Ths
day is clear and bright. the air in the early
morning being crisp and chilly, but grad
ually moderating, so as to make 1t an ideal
day for an election. Up to noon the elec-
ton has proceeded quietly and with but
little friction around the polling booths.
Some disappointment Is manifested by the
republicans at the comparatively light vote
which has been polled in some of the strong
republican precincts, but they expect to
rally their forces during the afternoon. As
near as can be judged, the republicans will
more than hold their own In the city, and
may make considerable gains, as they claim
they have been polling more of the labor
vote than they had anticipated. The polls
close here at p. m.
TOLEDO, Ohio, November 6.-The day
is, cold and fair, with sunshine most Of the
time The vote will be heavy in the city
and is getting in early. So far can be
ascertained from all points in the ninth dis
trict Southland, the republican candidate
for Congress, will be elected over Richie,
the democratic incumbent.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, November G.-Clear
skies and a cool northwest wind betoken
fine weather for todays election. The cam
paign here has been tame-no street parades
and no great demonstrations. The populists
have shown more activity than either Of
the old parties. But the eagerness with
which voters focked to the polls today
shows no lack of interest on their part In
many precincts half the vote was deposited
by O'Clock.
CLEV ELAND, Ohio, November Ga
heavy snow storm began operations here
soon after the polls opened today. The dis
agreeable weather had a tendency to retard
VIC ting during the early morning hours. In
tense interest is conferred in the congress
SIGNAL contest in the twenty-hrst district be-
tN cen Tom. l.. Johnson (dem.) and Theo. Z.
Burln (rep.).
The campaign has been mos. bitterly
fought on both sides. Charges and counter
charges Of wholesale colonization of fioaters
and all sorts of Illegal acts have been freely
made. A number of men have been arrest
ed for illegal registration, and warrants are
out for many other alleged violators Of the
registration law.
COLUMBUS. Ohio. November 6.-The city
registration is over 5000 and the interest
is equal to presidential election There
was a very large early vote. Sheriff Ross,
fourth ward man, swore In some deputies
on account of alleged trouble. The state
committees on both sides were seen. The
republican chairman has news of a large
vote at the principal points. There has
been no disturbance anywhere so far as.
Known. The democratic chairman says he
has no advices at this hour.
Mr.. Outhwaite for Congress, opposed by
David K. Watson, has worked as he never
did before for reelection. This and ma

encouraged. The democrats rallied to their
utmost, but all is pleasant between the
respective sides

COLUMBUS. Ohio, November 6.-The vot-

vote had been polled. The operation OF the

than in the republican wards indicates re
