Election News From All Over the
Country.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 7.-Voting is pro-
ceeding in tins state today.
Tne campaign mas been bitter. dirty
and full of charges and countercharges.
1t is of course expected that this vicious
tendency will continue at the polls and
that there will be many arrests, especi-
ally in the cities.
There are six candidates for governor
being voted for. Three of them claim
their election is sure. The Jones vote
will reduce the vote of all others, in
Guiding that OF the Prohibitionists, the
Union Reform and the Social Labor
tickets, and the result depends very
materially Oh wnere most of the Jones
vote will come from. 1t is certain that
either George K. Nash (Rep.) or John
r. Mclean (Dem.) will be elected. If
Jones pulls more from the Democrats
than from the Republicans, the predic'
ton of Chairman Dick that Judge Nash
will have $4,000 plurality may be real
lied
But if Chairman Seward is correct i'll
assuming that Jones will draw much
more heavily from the Republicans than
from the Democrats then Mclean Will be
elected. The Democratic managers have
maae much capital out of the ract that
Jones heretofore has been Republican,
that he was himself connected with
trust and that he would not pledge
himself to vote for Bryan i'll 1900.
AS Ohio is normally Republican
state, Jones could draw more heavily
from the Republicans aud still not
affect the result were it not for the fac
tional feeling which may also cost
Judge Nash some Republican votes.
1t is conceded that all votes that can
be controlled by Governor Bushnell,
ex-Chairman hurtz and other anti
Hanna Republicans will be cast for Nc
Lean, but this factional work may not
extend to others on the Republican
state ticket. Meantime the gold Demo
Gratis as well as the Bryan Democrats
are supporting Mclean and there is no
factional fuss among the Democrats.
CANTON, o., Nov. President Nc
kinlev arrived here today and cast his
vote. With him were Mrs. Mckinley,
DIR. RiXey aud Assistant Secretary Cor
teiyou. The party occupied the private
