ranging from 10000 to $4,000. Nothing

Baltimore, Nd, November 2.-The
polls opened this morning during a
perfect deluge of rain that appears to
nave extended to all parts of the State
and effectually checked the voting in
the first hour or two. 1t also had a
tendency to keep the party workers
away from the polling places and the
result was one of the quietest times
ever seen here on such an occasion.
At eight o'clock the skies cleared I'D
a bit and the indications at that hour
pointed to the polling of very heavy
vote, both in the city and in the coun-
ty, with the result in doubt Both
parties issued manifestos last night, in
which each claimed a sweeping victory,
the Republicans placing the probable
majority for their ticket at 10000 in
the city and 10000 in the State. The
Democrats, on the other hand, claimed
12,C00 in the city and 10000 in the
State. AS to the legislature, which will
= elect apsdcoessor to United States SEN
ator German, both Democrats and Re-
publicans express the utmost conf
dence that they will carry it. In addi-
ton to the legislature a State Comp
trOller and a Clerk of the Court of APP
peas are to be chosen in the State and
a Mayor and city Councils in the city.
At 1:30 p. m. it was estimated that
more than two-thirds of the total reg
istration of Ill 900 in the city had been
pOlled. 1t was done in the most order
ly manner imaginable, but ten arrests
having been reported by the police up
to that hour, and of these eight were
charged with drunkenness, and refus-
ing to leave the neighborhood of the
polling places when told to do so. The
voting was done with such unusual
rapidity as to lead to the belief that
but little scratching was being indulg-
ed in, fact which seemed to give
great satisfaction to the leaders of both
the great parties. The sun came out
from behind the clouds soon after II
o'clock, and the weather from that time
on was balmy and spring-like. Inas-
much as the voting is being done under
the Australian system, it Is impossible
to predict the drift Of the balloting and
both sides are still claiming everything,
both in the city and the State.

Cincinnati, Ohio, November Geo.
B, Cox, who has been conspicuous for
years as the Republican boss of Gin
cinnati, has issued card to the public
dated 2:3O p. M, in which he declares
his purpose to retire from politics and
devote his time and attention to his
family and his friends. He says he
has contemplated this course for some
months, but delayed it lest it might
be construed as a desertiOn of his
party, but now he will step down and
out as leader or so-called boss,
though he claims the privilege of serv-
ing as a private in the ranks of the
Republican party. He thanks his
friends and forgives his political enc
mics, saying:
"Ingrates are to be pitied, their fail
ing are born in them and they should
not be blamed too much"
In conclusion he asserts:
.'Once for all time," that he never
made dollar or any other sum of
money from candidates, officeholders
or public employees, either in city,
county, State or national government;
nor has he ever derived any revenue
from any public contracts or from
dealing with them.
STILL CLAIM THE STATE.
Columbus, o., November 2.-At 1880
tonight the Democratic managers at
their State headquarters had not chang
ed their earlier claims on the election
of Chapman as Governor and on secur-
ing majority on joint ballot in the
legislature for Senator. Chairman Nash
at the Republican State headquarters,
would not give out any statement at
this hour, but his assistants who were
tabulating the returns announced that
Bushnell was elected Governor and
the entire Republican State ticket was
elected by from 5000 to 10000 plur-
ality. At Republican State headquar-
tiers at this hour they are more conf
dent of having a majority in the Leg
islature.

DEMOCRATIC HOPE.
Baltimore, November Returns
from the State are meagre and unofi-
cial in character. Up to 1870 p. m.
nothing but estimates have been re-
ceived, but these indicate that the DEM
ocrats may possibly have a majority
on joint ballot in the assembly, which
will insure the reelection Of Senator
German.
THE STATE IN DOUBT.
Baltimore, Md, November mid
night-Returns from the State con-
tinue to come in slowly, but ten pre-
cincts outside of Baltimore having
been received at this hour. Conserv-
alive estimates places such counties
as have been heard from as follows:
emocratic-Baltimore county, Cecil,
Carroll, Worcester, Hartford, Howard,
Kent and Talbot. Repuolican-Gar-
rett, Somerset, Allegany, Anne, Arun-
del, Charles and Frederick.
Some of these are doubtful. In The
city Masters majority may reacn 6,5c0
and at this hour the Republicans seem
to have carried all three leg siative dis
tricts. IF these estimates are correct,
the Legislature will be Republican.
The chairmen of both State committees
refuse to express an opinion as TO the
result outside of Baltimore.

This village was visited by the worst
conflagration in its history to-day. The
fire started in DR.. Porter's residence on

both sides for distance of three
blocks. The wind was blowing gale

of the flames could not be stopped I'M

sumed. Among the buildings were
Shocks hardware store, Stanton,
Brunswick and Phoenix blocks, Com
mercial Hotel, bank, postoffice, Lem

gan Central freight and passenger sta
ton, the Michigan House, Klumpf's

SWAMP LAND SALES
Subject to Regulation by the State
Legislature

SAN FRANCISCO, July 3.-The Su-
preme Court has handed down decis-
ion of the question of the ownership of
tide lands adjoining the city of San Di-
ego, which has bearing upon the salt
marsh lands of the State. At the ses-
sion in 1872 the Legislature gave per-
mission to those who had made applica-
tion for the purchase Of tide lands to Sc
cure patents under this land. Abraham
Klauber and eighteen others claim to
hold title to eight tracts of tide land on
the bay of San Diego adjoining the city
of San Diego. Action for a writ of pos
session against T. j. Higgins and large
number of other defendants, including
the City of San Diego and the Board of
Harbor Commissioners Of the Bay Of
San Diego was brought. The Superior
Court ruled against the plaintiffs. .9The
Supreme Court affirmed the decision Of
the lower court, holding that thecEegis-
lature had the right to regulate the sale
Of tide lands within the State and to
prohibit the sale of certain of those
lands if it so willed.

Insane, died last night from the effects
of an operation performed by himself,
in the loft of barn on the grounds short
ly before noon Thursday. He labored
under the delusion that he had too
much blood. and, sharpening a case
knife on a brick, made an incision in his
groin and took out 20 inches of intestine
in two pieces, IA and inches long. He
was discovered later, having walked a
distance of 300 yards unassisted. The
hospital doctors put the man under
chloroform while performing the opera
ton of sewing together the two ends
left by him, but peritonitis had set in
ard the patient was beyond recovery.
