TOM JOHNSON'S CAMPAIGN.
1t Has Been the Most savaeely Personal
One In Ohio History.

CLEVELAND. o.. November 6.-The
most remarkable and savagely personal
congressional campaign in the history OF
Ohio closed tonight in the Twenty.first
District, which Is made up OF twenty-six
wards of this city. Tom l.. Johnson, the
Democratic candidate. has. TO quote his
own Language, made the fight OF his
life" and although the district gave Nc
Kinley nearly 1900 plurality last fall. the
most confident supporter OF I. IL. Bur
ton, the Republican candidate. are not
claiming his election by over $3.50. John
son says he will be elected by l,5Oo over
George Groot, the Populist candidate, and
the Democrats and Republicans agree
that upon the size Of Groots vote de-
ponds the election. If he gets less than
5000 Johnson's chances Will be better than
Burton's. The Democrats say that Groor
will not poll more than $500. The Re-
publicans assert that he will get 300.
Estimates cannot be based upon previous
elections. Johnson's party organ has
fought him. and many Democratic leaders
have opposed him.
An offset to this Is Burton's popularity
in his own party.
1t has been n campaign Of personalities,
each candidate having been accused OF
offences innumeTable. AS . fitting climax
to such a campaign warrants were sworn
out by Burton Saturday for the arrest OF
a dozen men for illegal registration.
Thorp. a leader OF the crowd. was dis
charged for lack of evidence, and to-day
sued Burton for s25 600 for false imprison-
ment. The betting Is 500 to $50 on Bur
ton. with plenty OF Johnson money Of

RESIGNS UNDER LEXOW FIRE.
Sergeant O'TooIc, of "The Finest" Files
Annlicafion for Retirement.

NEW YORK, November 5.-Actng-Cap-
tain William O'Toole, of the Leonard
Street Station. who was accused by the
Lexow Committee on Saturday Of
taking brides while he was in charge OF
the Essex Market Court squad. has asked
TO be retired from the Police Department.
He filed his application for retirement at
the Police Commissioners late on Satur-
day afternoon, after Dr. Whitehead had
given his testimony before the committee,
which incriminated O'Toole as we'll as
Detective Sorgeants Friend and Murphy,
OF the Central Office. The fact that the
Acting Captain had put in his application
for retirement was kept secret until to-
day. when the information leaked out at
police headquarters. Much surprise was
manifested by the Central office officials
at Sergeant O'Toole's action.
Or. Newton Whitehead, the LcXow wit
ness, testified that he paid money TO
O'Toole as a bride on several occasions,
when he (WhiteheaO was arrested on
charges of malpractice. lie swore mat
on one occasion he gave O'Toole S-oo.
O'Toole's application for retirement Will
come up before the board at It's next
meeting. 1t is not likely. however, that
the commissioners will retire him before
the charges made against him by Or.
Whitehead are investigated. 1t is more
than possible that O'Toole. as well rs
Friend and Murphy, will be placed on
trial before the commissioners.
Ex-Wardmen Glennon, Burns, ana
Smith surrendered themselves at the DIS
trict Attorneys Office to-day, and were
taken before Judge Fitzgerald. In the
General Sessions Court, this evening. ban
in their cases was fixed at 5000.

FOURTH DISTRICT
INTENSE INTEREST FELT IN THE RE.
SUIT OF THE ELECTION TO-DAY.
Malone II Taking an Active Part In the
Contest-Tobaeco-F Factories
To BE Closed.

PETERSBURG. VA. November 5-(Spe-
cial)-lntense interest Is felt here in the
result OF the election in the Fourth
District. It's known that the Republic
cans-the negroes. In fact--will cast a
full vote for the nominee OF the Repub-
lican party. Some OF the large tobacco
factories In the city In which negroes are
exclusively employed will be closed to-
morrow. In order to give every man
chance to vote. while other factories will
be kept open. as usual. to give every
employee chance to vote and to work.
The Democrats here are very conf
dent OF McKenney's election, and bets are
made at odds that the next congressman
from this district will be Democrat.
To what extent the negroes, who In
previous elections have either not voted
or have shown great apathy, will vote,
Is not known.
APPARENT.
The fact that General Malone. and. I'M
der his influence, the local leaders OF the
Republican party will take an active part
In the contest Of tomorrow Is apparent
The Republican belief Is that, first, the
Democrats are Indifferent: second, that
many Democrats will decline to vote
under the new law; third. that every ne
gro and white Republican will vote the
straight Republican ticket, "as is their
duty"-impressed upon them from Cen
eral Malone down. There Is no doubt
that General Malone has been very ac-
tive In this campaign, and that he Is
hopeful. under the Instructions given to
the illiterate negroes. of Republican sue
cess
Almost as much interest is felt here in
the result OF the election in New York
as In the result i'm Virginia, and bets have

State.

The Electoral Board of this city to-day
put up the booths and annexes to be used
in to-morrow's election. Some difficulty
was experienced in getting the several
parts to fit, but everything will be In
readiness by morning for the proper

will not be much Of a surprise to the
Democratic leaders themselves II William
l.. Wilson is defeated. They claim his
election. and seem much encouraged by
the large meeting he had here. but give no
figures on his plurality. Some large bets
have been made here in the last day or
two even money being put up that Wilson
would be elected. but no majority named.
one bet Of 500 was made here to-day on
this basis. Considering that Wilson car
ried the district two years ago by l.cl
plurality, and. taking the view of both
sides. IL looks very much as If the
chances were equal to-day. Neither side
will deny that Dayton has made large
gains. but the Democrats claim that Will
son will hold enough 10 elect him. Demo-
cratS refuse TO bet on or claim this coun-
ty. which gave Wilson IS plurality two
