Denver, Nov. 6.--Long before the polls
opened at O'Clock, there we're hundreds
of voters at nearly every polling place in
the city. Fully third we're women; and
as the voting necessarily proceeded slow
ly under the Australian system many had
to wait in line for hours. The weather is
perfect and the vote will be very heavy
Both Republicans and Populists are con.
fdent.
With all the conditions favorable; ;sxot-
ing has progressed rapidly throughout
this city. In many precincts more than
half the total registered vote had been
cast before 10 O'Clock. AS the ballot is
secret and no counting can be done until
the polls close at Z O'Clock tonight the
claims of victory put forth by both Re-
publican and Populist managers have not
yet been relaxed in the least. The weather
throughout the state is good and the vote
will be heavy. No disturbances have
been reported.
HEAVY VOTE IN IOWA.
Des Moines, lathe Indications are
for heavy vote and that the Republican
state ticket will be elected by over 10000
and that all the congressional ticket will
be elected except possibly one.
THE ILLINOIS SITUATION.
Chicago.-Fifteen minutes before the
polling booths of the 9th precinct of the
23d ward opened, Republican challenger,
Michael Kennedy, was found unconscious
ON the sidewalk, having been attacked by
hoodlums.
With the weather bright and cold, the
vote in Chicago and Cook county to-day
is heavy. Throughout the state and par
ticularly here the fight has been hot from
start to finish. An interesting feature
was the fact that, after hard fought
legal battle, women we're given the privi-
lege of voting for the state university
trustees and very large vote is being
cast by the fair sex.
One precinct In this city was conceded
to the Peoples party at 8 a. m. 1t COM
prises the main part of Pullman. Every
where in the district comprising Pullman,
west Pullman, Gano, Kensington and
Roseland, the Populist strength was
great.
It is believed that the Populist vote in
the city will not exceed $4,000. At Popu-
list headquarters 1t was claimed that the
vote would reach 100000.
VOTING In WYOMING.
Cheyenne, Wyo.-At every point in the
state thus far heard from, the dispatches
state that an unusually large vote was
cast this morning and the expectation is
that the vote of two years ago will be
increased. In Cheyenne the vote will be
little, if any, smaller than two years ago,
and it is coming out very rapidly. The
weather is fine.
IN OLD MISSOURI.
st. Louis.-Election day opened cool
and crisp with every indication of a
heavy vote. There has been no trouble
at any point.
Kansas City. - Warrants have been
sworn out for Joe Shannon and several
other ward heelers and also for several
election judges in the 9th ward.
BAD WEATHER IN NEW ENGLAND.
Boston.-A blizzard prevailed through
out New England and eastern New York
last night. The wind blew seventy-five
miles per hour and the snowfall was quiet
heavy.
WISCONSIN.
Milwaukee.-The largest vote ever
polled in Wisconsin in an of year is be-
ing cast. The Republicans already claim
the election of their state ticket. In GER
tain districts political heelers have given
every invitation for riot by their ar
bitrary actions. In one precinct mem
bers of faction took possession Of a
polling place and threw out the witnesses
and challengers appointed according to
law who we're in opposition to them. One
of the gang smashed the ballet box with a
heavy billet of wood. In another pre-
cinct one of the witnesses was order ed
out of the booth by the judges and to
save trouble he made no protest. From
several wards come complaints by citi :
zens that they are not allowed to vote.
INTERESTING IN OHIO.
Clevelaud.-A heavy snow storm began
here soon after the polls opened to-day
and had tendency to retard the voting.
Interest is centered in the congressional
contest in the 21st district between Tom
L. johnson, Democrat, and Theodore B.
Burton, Republican. There have been
some fraudulent registrations, but the
vigilance of the election officers will
probably keep out most of the fraudu.
lent votes.
Alliance, Ohio.-"Gov." Jacob 8. Coxey
the Populist candidate for congress, il
receiving large vote.
Progressing IN KANSAS.
Topeka.-The weather to-day is pleas.
ant. The polls are crowded, indicating a
very heavy vote.
The voting in Topeka is very heavy
While both Republicans and Populists
are claiming gains the Indications point
to large majority for the former in
this city. Owing to large vote many
precincts in Topeka will not be counted
before daylight.
Leavenworth, Kas.-To-day's election
is the hottest in this city for years. There
are strong indications at noon that Nor
