The Story of (lie Day at tlie Ubiel City. CINCINNATI, Ohio, October 14.—The city is feverish with oxcitemeut. Mmiy arraitshave been mndo at the polls lor illegal voting and challenging is carricd on to a greater extent than over before. Slight collisions have taken place in several wards, bat the worse so far IIBS been in the Sixth ward, where a largo number of negroes and Irish vote, and where early this morning ono of Pinkerton's detectives was badly beaten. A negro known as Foxy Anderson was killed there this morning. In an encounter with a deputy marshall the report came from tho Fifteenth ward that the deputy sheriffs had overpowered the deputy marshals and were refusing to allow any negroes to vote. Tho United States marshal sent an additional number of deputy marshals to the scene. The weather is delightfully cool and pleasant and a very large vote has been polled. The men about the polls say there is very little scratching. Everywhere great earnestness is manifested.

It was remarked by Judge Kelley, of Pennsylvania, after oanvassing the state, that he had never seen such intense interest manifested in politi6s since 1840. All reports received up to this hour indicate that this intensity of feeling continues. An enormous vote is being polled, each party striving not only to get in all the votes but to (get in early. It is understood that Ohio is regarded as the battle ground, and on the issue of today will depend tho conduct of the next three weeks of campaign. The polls are being olosely watched, the deputy sheriffs and police representing the Democrats and deputy United States marshals and citizens committees the Republicans. A large number of •speakers have already been arrested by the deputy marshals and they are being guarded in the government building. A number of these were bronght in a patrol wagon by the police which added to the excitement. There has been considerable shooting in the Sixth, Eighth, Eighteenth and Nineteenth wards.

UI^IIUU In the latter a dei sheriff in the head, Musing a severe wound but not fatal. In the Eighteenth (Democratic) ward there is great excitement because of the large number of Republicans votes being polled.

While the ticket to be voted is state, local and congressional, the issue is national for the reason above stated, hence the vote will be large. The state candidates are secretary of state, judge of Supreme court and board of publio works. The Democratic candidate for secretary of state is tho present incumbent, Mr. Newman. The Republican, General J. h. Robinson, who at present represents the Marion distriot in congress. Only scattering returns need bo expected to-night, but these will indicate the drift.

The report that Fox Anderson was killed in the Sixth ward is not true. He had an altercation but not seriously hurt. Large crowds are gathered at many polling places, and the air is full of rumors of expected outbreaks. The polling of votes continues rapidly and in many places more than half the total vote was cast before noon. In the United States court room Commissioners Harper and Probasco have already committed twenty-seven men charged with illegal voting. Shortly before noon A1 Russell in the Eighteenth yard, who had been flourishing a pistol about the vicinity of the polls, was shot by a colored deputy marshal, and died instantly. At noon the poll was proceeding quietly in nearly all the wards. There is a large crowd about the United States governmont building, attracted by curiosity and by the almost constant arrival of men arrested for illegal voting.

At 2:30 the oity continues to be fairly quiet. Nearlv vhundred men have been brought before tun United States commissioners for illegal vfi'':. and have been sent to jail or released on bo-«i. Habeas corpus proceedings are used in som instances to get them out of jail. Arrests R'-o also made by the polioe and deputy sheriff, nd the same course is pursued to release th :r prisoners. There has been no general di: irbance since the rush at the Eighth ward i" !s, and confidence is growing that the day ru pass peaceably.

Another was struck in the face with a bowlder and his face mashed. He had not been about the polls but was passing along the street. In thiB disturbance one man was fatally shot and a woman hit in the breast with a atone and is supposed to be fatally hurt. During the whole afternoon at this precinct a large crowd remained and a number of minor disturbances took place. Morrison Garrison died this morning from the effects of a pistol shot fired last night by Dave West during the progress of a Republican procession. This morning Henry Coleman stabbed Thos. Daniels four times, inflicting mortal wounds.

CINCINNATI, O., October 14.—The total vote of Cincinnati is estimated at between 65,000 and 70,000. Republican gains are reportd in nearly all the precincts heard from fifty in one, 116 in another and 124 in another A small Democratic gain is shown in one Democratic ward. The Republicans are claiming the election of both congressmen, Butterworth and Brown, and the entire county ticket by 2,000 majority.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

CINCINNATI, O., Ootober 14.—The election in Cincinnati has been the most memorable in its history. Party feeling has grown to its intensest heat and thus resulted in bringing out the largest vote ever polled. It did more it brought to the polls the workers, a larger number of men than ever before. The presence of deputy marshals and deputy sheriffs was also a feature that gave unusual interest to the vote. Under all these conditions the wonder is that more serious outbreaks did not occur. In quite a number of wards where the Democrats are in the strongest force the deputy marshals were intimidated or actually driven away and the presence of colored men was the signal for assaults, In one of these precincts, a single deputy marshal was present in the afternoon but he bore testimony by a black aye to rough usage received in the early part of the day. In many voting places there was a large assembly of voters before the polls opened for the purpose of seeing that the opposite party took no undue advantage in the election. This gave rim to some trouble in some wards, but the most common source of disagreement was when challengers were arrested by deputy marshals for obstructing voters. It was then in order for the deputy sheriffs and policemen who represented the law on the Democratic aide to rescue the challengers, and thus the conflict of authority occurred. The scenes at the polls were unusual. The deputy marshals were armed with policemen's clubs as well as with 44-calibre revolvers. The deputy sheriffs in 'many oases were armed with rude hickory sticks, probably made from dray-pins. At ono of the strongest Democratic precincts a colored deputy sheriff was oonspicious with a stout hickory club in his hands. In the Sixth ward, whett many negroes vote, one large policeman was arrested by a colored deputy marshal. The Republicans and Democrats each had lawyers employed to attend to getting their men released as fast as possible after arrest. Altogether ithas been a day of deep excitement, and its comparatively peaoeable termination is a matter of congratulation.

The first return received to. night was from Clifton precinct showing a Republican gain of fifty. Then came a precinct of the Tenth ward which last year was evenly divided. It now showed a Republican majority of 868, which was a Republican gain to that amount. This was a settlement of the question, how the Garman vote was going and as subsequent returns showed large gains in other wards it was Boon conceded that Hamilton county had gone Republican. The outlook at 10 o'clock is that the Republican majority in Hamilton county may reach 2,000 and that both Butterworth and Brown, Republicans, are elected to congress.

S Mti

A correspondent of a Democratic paper telegraphed the editor that Columbus had gone Republican "holl bent."

Crowds in the streets are shouting for Blaine and Logan and are also hurrahing for Butterworth.

The returns from Hamilton county continue to show large Republican gains over 1883. The total Republican gain in fifty-five precincts is 2,740. This indicates a certain Republican majority in this county.

A general fight among the negroes on Freeman street began to-night about 10 SO and lasted about thirty minutes. Henry Brown, one of the participants, was seriously shot in the stomach and Police Offioers Gorman and Shortock were dangerously wounded by a pistol shot in the spinal region.

At midnight a carriage containing Butterworth and Brown started from the Lincoln club, and with a brass band gathered an impromptu procession which filled the street for more than two square* from the curb to curb. The cheering and shouting was continuous and there was much waving of handkerchiefs. They moved with the procession and passedJthe newspaper offices in the wildest enthusiasm.

The Commercial-Gazette specials indicate the election of Hedges for congress in the Mansfield district by 800 majority. At Springfield, O., an enormous vote was polled, with indications of 2,000 Republican majority.

London, Ohio: The Republicans elected their entire county ticket. In the Hocking and Tuscarawasvalleys large Republican gains are reported.

A LATE BULLETIN. &£

Later returns show increased Republican gains. We have heard from a little over onethird of the state. If the remaining twothirds are correspondingly Republican the indications are that the majority will reach 17,000 and probably 20,000.

Very meagre returns have been reoeived from West Virginia, and there is nothing positive as to the result.

A. C. Thompson, Republican, 12th district, is elected. The majority in Lawrence, his own county, is very large, showing a Republican gain of about 600.

The election here passed off in comparative quiet, there being but few disturbances, and those due to the appointment of special police by the Republican mayor and deputies by the Democratic sheriff. In one precinct there_ was a conflict of authority, resulting in the arrest of a deputy sheriff by the police. There was a sharp fight for the orgrniiation of the polls, the number of citizens turning out being unprecedented The band and drum corps paraded the streets at daybreak, awkening the voters. The vote was the heaviest ever polled in the city. The Republicans have the City, hall and the Democrats have headquarters at the Franklin County club. -The Republicans are wild with enthusiasm, parading the streets in crowds while the famous Blaine and Logan glee club

in the city hall, which ie packed

in every part. A fence has been put up oa the stage to protect the committee from the pressure of the crowd, who are cheering so loudly as to be heard nearly all over the city. At the Democratic headquarters there is not so much enthusiasm. The hall is much smaller than that of the Republicans, but it is packed, while hundreds are coming and going. There is very little cheering, but the mass of the people have not given up all hopes. On the streets there are no collisions or disturbances, and everything is passing off good naturedly.

Five hundred and thirty-one wards and precincts show a net Democratic gain of 1,057 over the vote for secretary of state in 1880. The same wards and precincts show a net Republican gain of 8,417 over the vote for governor in 1888.

The Hon. Wm. McKinley, Jr., of Canton, the candidate for congress in the Twentieth district, telegraphs as follows. "Canton, 14th. Returns are unofficial, but such as we have give me not lees than 1,000 majority." McKinley was unseated by the present congress and his election id a Republican gain. Benj. Butterworth, Republican, is elected in the First district by about 2,600 majority.

The six hundred and forty-eight wards and precincts show a not Democratic gain 179 over the vote for secretary of state of 1880. The same wards and precincts show a net Republican gain of 10,245 over the vote for governor in 1888. The late reports show a large Republican gain, which reduces the Democratic gain over 1880 to 179.

The noise of the enthused Republicans on the streets is becoming almost infernal. The air is full of rockets of all shades and colors, and every combustible substance has been brought into use. The Democrats have retired from their headquarters, and those who have not retired 'to their beds are watching the Republican torchlight procession and listening to the discordant sounds that rend the heavens, all 1 laving the purpose of glorifying the man of Maine. The Democrats! are hoping for favorable returns from Butler, Meroer, Monroe, Licking and their strong Democratic counties, BO as to keep the Republican majority below twenty thousand. Seven hundred and sixtyeight wards and precincts show a net Democratic gain of 756 over the vote for secretary.

Toledo.

TOLEDO, O., Ootober 14.—Never in the history of Toledo has there been so much interest in an election as to-day. Within a half hour after the polls were opened hundreds of voters, chiefly laboring men, were cast their ballots, and at 9 o'clock fully one-half of the vote of the city had been cast. Predictions were made on the previous night that there would be trouble and disorder on the morrow, so intense was the feeling. But the result has been eminently satisfactory to all lovers of law and order. In the Fourth ward, the home of all the worst criminals in the city, four or five fights oocurred, but

no one was seriously injured. Both Bepublicans and Democrats had made every preparation to prevent fraudulent voting, and the result has been satisfactory beyond their most sanguine hopes. At noon two-thirds of the votes had bad been cast, and it became evident that every voter was out and working. One feature was the large number of vest-pocket votes cast. These were mostly voted by the Democrats, and in consequence the Republicans were happy. The, effect of this was counteracted by the knowledge that Robinson and Johnson were falling behind the rest of the vote. Many Germans were" supposed to be cutting the head of the ticket, on account of the action of the saloon keepers. Throughout the day the Democrats have been confident of success, and even up to 9 o'clock in the evening predicted Robinson's defeat. The congressional fight has been paramount in interest to the state ticket with many, and the. result promises to be even more of a surprise than the results on the rest of the ticket. The vote for Romeis, Republican, for congress being even* larger than expected by his most hopeful friends. The latest reports are that Hurd, the Democratic free trader, is defeated for congress in this, a strong Democratic district.

So far as heard from the Republican state ticket has made large gains throughout this congressional district and especially in this oity. At present the indications point to the election of Romeis over Hard for congress by a small majority. One precinct in ward five gives Romeis a majority of 262 and a gain over x-the vote of the last congressional election of over 800. The Eight ward gives again of over 200, while other wards show correspondingly large majorities. The reports from other quarters of the district also show Republican gains over the vote of last year.

A dispatch from Fremont states that in the First ward Romeis has eighty-seven majority. In the Third ward Mr. Hurd has a majority of seventy-five. These figures show large gains for Romeis over the vote of the Republican congressional candidate two years ago.

TOLEDO, O., October 14.—Nothing definite from the outside counties of this district in reference to congressmen. It will be several hours before we can report with any certainty as to the fate of Mr. Hurd.

Dayton.

DATTON, O., October 14.—Tho election in Dayton was quiet. Very few illegal votes were cast. Everybody was orderly and a full vote was out. The indications are that Dayton will give 800 Democratic majority. The Soldiers' home cast a full vote, with probably 800 Republican majority. Great crowds surround the Republican headquarters, applauding as each bulletin was read. The returns from three wards in the city give 287 Republican gain over last spring or 500 over last fall. Other precinct indicate like gains. If this continues Dayton will give a small Republican majority. Sinks, candidate for congress runs several hundred ahead of the ticket.

Returns for the city of Dayton aro all in, giving the city 179 Democrat majority on the State ticket, a Republican gain of 898. In one precinct of the Soldiers' Home the Republicans gain 118. John Sinki^ Republican candidate for congrees, carried the city by seventyeix majority. Fred. 9)kei4 Republican candidate for congress, carried Dayton by 259 majoriiv. Ten thousand nine hundred and sev-enty-six votes were cast in the city.

The reports from Darke county give Anderson. Democratic candidate for oongress, 600 majority. The indications point to the election of Sinks. Montgomery county will give the Democratic state ticket 800 majority.

Cleveland.

CLEVELAND, 0„ October 14.—The incoming returns indicate the election of Foran, the Democratic candidate for congrees, and Sawyer the Democratic candidate for sheriff. The Republicans elect all other candidates in this

•WV. iA: :sX

county by a majority of 8,000 to 8,500. The Republican state ticket will carry the county by about the same majority.

WEST VIRGINIA.

CHARLESTON, W. Va., October 14.— The returns are conning in very slowly. The vote in this city is 1,404, with the Democratic ticket ahead. The Maiden district is close, with the Republican ticket ahead. The outlook for the Democrats in the county is not encouraging.

The election passed off quietly in this county. As far as heard from, •the Fusion ticket has gained, while the Democrats lost. There was much scratching on governor, as well as on county officeis.

The Wheeling, West Virginia Register, Democrat, claims the election of Wilson, Democrat, for governor by 7,000 to 10,000.

How the News Was Received. CHICAGO, 111., October 14.—Great and widespread interest was shown here in the results of the Ohio election. The streets in the business center were crowded to-night from an early hour. The crowds in front of the newspaper officcs receiving bulletins blocked the traffic. The Inter-Ocean celebrated the result with an illumination and a brass band. The fact that the .News issued hourly editions between 1 o'clock and 10 p. m., which had the aggregate circulation of over 150,000, may be taken as an index of the anxiety for the latest returns.

NEW YORK, October 18.—Great interest is manifested by the people gathered about the different bulletin boards throughout the city, waiting the' returns of the election in Ohio and in the neighborhood of the Fifth Avenue hotel and of political headquarters the crowd was the greatest. The stereoptican at the junction of Fifth avenue and Broadway attracted attention and as different despatches were pasted, cheers and cheers greeted them. The hotel lobbies and corridors aro well nigh impassable and at the national Democratic headquarters rooms were crowded and the announcement favorable. The news from Ohio was vigorously cheered. The first despatch was from Columbus and was read "Reports from Hocking valley", gave large Democratic gains. The news from over the state continues favorable. At the Republican headquarters was the greatest of enthusiasm. A large screen has been erected on which the returns were displayed to the crowd assembled. As the returns from Ohio were flashed upon the screen and the great crowd on the avenues cheered themselves hoarse in their great glorification. At the Hoffman house and St. James hotel there were also great crowds of Republicans, who rejoiced over the returns, while the Democrats claimed not to read in them defeat. In some tojms of the state the Republicans had congratulatory meetings.

BCITALO, October 14.—The city is excited to-night over the returns from Ohio.

/fx ,.\= The Press Report.'" MONBOE, Mich., October 14.—Mr. Blaine left Tpledo at noon to-day by special train on the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern.

Murphy, James MoMillan, James H. Stone, James L. Edson, Rev. Dr. Reilly of Detroit, Dexter M. Ferry, Hon. J. A. Hubbell, Hon. E. S. Lacy and F. J. Hecker. The first stop was at Monroe. Mr. Blaine having been introduced as the next president of the United States he said: I always object to being introduced in that way. I am only a candidate for the presidency. [Laughter. He then thanked the people for the kind reception they had given him, and said he would not trouble them with a speech while they were holding their breath to hear the verdict ot Ohio.

DETROIT, October 14.—In the crowd of Wyandotte there were a great many of the workmen employed in tho rolling mills. Mr. Blaine spoke briefly of the influence of the tariff in securing higher wages to American workingmen than are paid for similar work in Europe. His remarks were received very favorably and he was loudly cheered as the train moved off. About three o'clock the party arrived in Detroit. Here they were transferred to carriages and driven in a procession through the city for more than three hours. Many of the dwellings and business buildingB were gaily decorated and the people were out in great numbers all all along the route. After the procession Mr. Blaine was driven to the house of Mrs. Chandler, the widow of the late Senator Chandler, where he dined in company with Senator Hale and other friends. Later he came down to the Russell house and reviewed from the balcony a fine torchlight procession. An immense crowd had gathered in frjnt of the hotel and in the open space between these and the city hall while the daylight procession was in progress and most of the people remained there until a late hour. When Mr. Blaine appeared on the balcony he was repeatedly cheered.

General Fremont was on the balcony with Mr. Blaine and in response to repeated calls both gentlemen made very brief speeches which stirred the orowd to a high pitch of enthusiasm. About 9 o'clock Mr. Blaine retired to his parlor, where he spent a few minutes in examining the returns from Ohio, which had just come in. There were principally from Cincinnati, showing large Republican gain? and at Mr. Blaine's suggestion they were read from the balcony to the people below, who cheered wildly and made all kinds of enthusiastic demonstrations.

At about 8:45 Mr. Blaine went over to the hall where there was a large meeting in progress, being addreeeed by Senator Hale and other speakers. Upon Mr. Blaine's appearance the regular proceedings were suspended and the audience cheered wildly and clamored for a speech. Mr. Blaine spoke a few words about the news from Ohio. He Boon returned to the hotel to inspect the later returns. He read the dispatches aloud to the men in the room and commented upon their significance. He was vory quiet and composed, but seemed greatly pleased. I he wire in his parlor in the Rnssell house was connected with the wire in his library at Augusta, and at the intervals between the Ohio dispatches he received the congratulations of his family and friends at home, and conversed with Mrs. Blaine partly about public and partly about domestic affairs.

YESTERDAY'S ELECTION.

How Republicans and Democrats Took the News Yesterday and Last Night.

The Ohio election yesterday abdorbed the attention of every one. No oue talked of anything else. The Democrats were not very confident, while the Republicans seemed willing Tto back their confidence with money. The rumor gained credence that a great riot was going on in Cincinnati, and all day citizens came to the Exprest office to get reliable news. In the evening when the election newB began to couie in the excitement was great. The Express bulletined the news on canvass with the aid of a stereopticon. Fifth street was crowded with people to learn the news. At least 5,000 peo- 2pie came and went to learn the news from the Express bulletin. Most of them were Republicans, and aa the gains climbed up the crowd bucam more jubilant. The Democrats congreeted at Fasig & Co.'s, where he news was bulletined. No one but

Dickens could describe

the numerous long faces there. Old men who had grown gray in the service looked exceedingly blue. The sceno was heart rendering, pitiable. "This doesn't settle it," some Democrat would occasionally

Bay.

A few minutes after 11 o'clock a laughable incident happened in' front of the Express office. A crowd of young Republicans were cheering oudlv, and some one yelled, "A hundred dollars that Bill Fisk will be our next sheriff." Mr. Cleary, the Democratic candidate, and Mr. A. J. Kelley and other Democrats were standing within hearing distance. When the above remark reached their ears Messrs. Cleary and Kelley ,came running forward and dared some one to bet a hundred on FiBk. Both were greatly excited, and the Republicans cheered and yelled, and Cleary and Kelley yelled, and thescene grew more laughable. Mr. Kelley said it took nerve to stand in a crowd euch as the one he was in. The crowd yelled that no one would hurt him. Messrs. Cleary and Kelley no doubt thought they were making votes. It was a death struggle.

Prf

"Keep still 1 We

cah't elect anything!" Several rank partizans were "backed down" by Republicans on the result of the national $ election. The Democrats would "figgerand figger," but could derive nJ consolation. The Republicans throughout the city were jubilant, and seemed to correctly measure the great import* ,tj r" ance of Democratic annihilation in Ohio. When West Virginia began tci show Republican gains it waa too much for the Democrats, and they went home. The» Republicans themselves began tc# tire of reading "Republican gains, Re» lublican gains," and went home, too* Republicans should be charitable today and not be too hard on Demo* cratic brethren. No doubt they feel bad enough without piling more wot* on their heads.
