to prove beyond a doubt the success of the Australian system nf voting and testimony from all sections of the State is almost unanimous in its praise In this city tha voting places have presented a remarkably quiet appearance and the scenes therein have in many cases been in marked contrast to those usually witnessed Voting has proceeded with dispatch and voters enjoyed freedom from importunities of ballot distributors that they have never known before Very few cases are reported where instructions as to the method of voting was neoessarv and practically the only aid required was for those who came under the law as blindness or other physical disability unable to mark their While the voters expressed their pleasure at being able to vote without the usual solicitation in the interest ot one candidate or another ward officers were delighted at being able to attend to their duties without being disturbed by the cutomary bustle and disturbance outside tbe rail There was some slight friction eaused by a conflict of opinion with regard to the duties of precinct officers but it was insignificant and made but little trouble Wilh negro to ballots themselves there was little or no complaint From all over the State reports indicate a very quiet election and a ligbt vote Although the vote itself wa conducted as expeditiously as in former years the count was not complete so early and returns come in slowly 283precincts in Boston give Bussell 27-908 Bracket 22810 Only one precinct is now lacking This shows a decrease in the Democratic plurality of 1887 of about 200 and a

temperature to make the air bracing In this city and county the poles close at 4 Hence a very large votes are cast in the morning beginning at 6 o'clock The fine weather facilitates early voting and in all the precincts heard from at 10 a fully two-thirds of the entire registered vote had been cast The voting so far has been entirely free from any sort ot disorder Under the election law no crowding about the polls is permitted and the old habit of gathering in large numbers about the polling places is entirely broken up indications now is that a full vote will be cast in Cincinnati Columbus Nov 6 Notwithstanding the fine weather the vote seems slow in getting out The Democrats claim the tradiness is principally on the part of the Republicans as the check off from their mils shows a good average per cent of the Democratic vote already in at 1 The polls in Columbus do not close till 6 and plenty ol time remains for getting out Dearly the full registered vote The Democrats have no advantage in registration Columbus Ohio Nov 5 The election in Columbus was one of that most quiet ever experience in this city The monotony has scarely varied by an incident worthy of vote The weather was superb and the Republicans early thought this was an omen of success The registration machinery made voting one of form ratner than excitement Indications are that the registered vote was well gotten out The poles did not close till 6 ni and nothing better tban surmises is to be bad at this hour 8 The Republicans however are feartul of the result A tally has been kept on the head of the ticket in one precinct of the 6th ward (Republican) Columbus and it bhows that 20 Republicans have scratched Foraker and the Republican vote is about 100 short Should other precincts ot the city show anything like this falling off and strong work against head of ticket Republican defeat can be nothing but overwhelming Cincinnati Nov 5 The first news from Ohio to-night is from eight precincts in this city They show Foraker 1445 Campbell 976 Helwig 87 The same precincts in 1887 gave Foraker 134 Powell 749 Seitz 18 This shows an increased vote and a net gain for Campbell ot 123 The plurality for Foraker in the State in 1887 was 23329 Cincinnati Nov -The Enquirer Hamilten county by 5000 At 9:30 the' opiaion is general that Hamilton county has gone for Campbell by from 4000 to 5000 This

Democratic by a plurality of 6000 In one hundred and nineteen precincts in Ohio outside of Cincinnati Foraker has 15810 Campbell 13000 Helwig 1000 The same places in 1387 Foraker 15403 Powell 12544:

gain in Hamilton connty of 11000' This would lmve a little over 12000 in other portions of the State to be overcome by Campbell 100 precincts in ohio outside of Cincinnati give Foraker 12007 Campbell 11290 Helwig 697 The same in 1887 gave Foraker 12597 Powell 10173 Sharp 682 The loss by Foraker of Hamilton county which a plurality of nearly 7000 two years Rgo has been largely effected by defection in German Republican wards Losses some of these wards amounts to more than 200 votes result was not anticipated by the Republicans as they were confident late this afternoon that the detection in the German quartes was trifling While the losses ol Foraker were not confined to these wards they are much more marked there than other porsions Returns also show that especially in the German wards the head of the ticket was the thing most squarely hit by the Republican scratchers This leaves tbe hope to Republican calculators at midnight that at least one Senator on the Republican ticket may be elected The Commercial Gazette commenting on the result in Hamilton county says it is an outgrowth of the Sunday question Saloon legislation did not seem to be a disturbing thing but rather the bad administration of the Sunday laws was the cause of discontent among the Germans The estimate at midnight is that Campbell will caray Hamilton county by over 6000 Four hunered and sixty-thiee precincts in Ohio outside of Hamilton county give Foraker 66976 Campbell 63181 Helwig 3534 same in 1887 Foraker 65-788 Powell 58362 Sharp 3532 This shows an average gain of 78 per precinct for Campbell Fourteen
