The re- publicans concede a closj vote on the state ticket- Chipman candi-j Hundreds are going to see him. city, and by noon, at which time the United States commissioners took a re- cess, seventy-five cases had been passed on.

It was noticeable that the arrests after the early morning were generally made after the prisoners had voted. They were largely of that class involved in the old question whether or not inmates of charitable institutions have a right to vote. The national and state headquarters are nearly deserted. Chairman Cater vote is being polled in this city and apparently throughout the state, though it is being done generally very quietly. MISSOURI.

Louis, Nov. S. A perfect day has brought an unprecedentedly heavy vote, in which there is a large amount of scratching. The democrats claim the city will give a majority for Cleveland and concede that Warner (rep.) for governor will go out of the city with at least 3,000 majority. There is much dissatisfaction among the large number of voters peremptorily disfranchised by the board of revision, many of them being old residents, in one case the name stricken from the list being that of a man who had lived in the same house for twenty years.

Dowell counties, and the democratic sheriffs are swearing in deputy sheriffs. This is the negro mining region and already apprehension is felt that there will be a conflict In this city there is a large amount of scratching. The chairmen of both parties announce that they stand by their previous claims. Chairman Chilton predicts a democratic ma jority of 5,000, and Mr. Dawson a republican majority of 3,000.

The republicans will probably gain one or two members of the legislature in this county. WISCONSIN. Milwaukee, Nov. S. There is every indication of a very large vote in the state and the probability is that it will exceed the vote of 16SS by 25,000.

Roth political committees express confidence in the result of the state, but the probabilities favor the democrats for both ele2-toral and state tickets. The democrats claim from 13,000 upward, and the republicans have lowered their claim to 7,000. The democrats claim seven of ten congressional districts, and the republicans claim five, but concede the legislature to the democrats, which will choose a successor to Senator Sawyer. The day is clear and cold, and dispatches from all over the state indicate a heavy vote. MASSACHUSETTS.

Boston. Nov. S. The Globe has dispatches from neighboring towns reporting a heavy vote, especially during the first hour of the contest In the city of Somerville, just twice as many ballots were cast between 7 and 8 o'clock as in the state election in the same time last year.

The republican poll of the state shows the election of the state ticket by 1S.O00 and the electoral ticket by 12,000. The republicans claim the election of seven out of eight congressmen. The populist and democratic state central committee are loudly claiming everything.

They estimate their majority for the electoral ticket and claim seven of the eight congressmen. MARYLAND. Baltimore, Nov. S. In the Fifth ward four arrests were made, James Bond, clerk of the superior court, was one of the prisoners.

The arrest of Mr. Bond caused great excitement and United States Marshal Airey ordered his deputies to exercise great care and the polling booths. Other arrests were made in other districts, but the prisoners were at once bailed out More than half of the city's vote had been polled at 11 o'clock. The indications favor the polling of the heaviest vote in Baltimore's history. The weather is warm and sunny.

LOUISIANA. New Orleans, Nov. 8. The election in this city opened very quietly, notwithstanding the prevalence 'of a monster strike. The vote is expected to be light No reports of violence have been received and general apathy prevails.

The democratic electors are almost certain to be elected over the republican-third party fusion. Gov. Foster says that he has no doubt of the result in the state. NEB Ft ASK A. Omaha, Nov.

S. The indications point to a large vote in the state. Advices from all quarters are to the effect that democrats generally are voting the populist electoral ticket.

Republicans generally concede that Cleveland will carry the state, but say his plurality wi 11 be below 5,000. FLORIDA. Jacksonville, Nov. 8. The weather is perfect here and generally throughout the state, but a very light vote is being polled.

Unless more interest is taken in to-day's election before nightfall, Cleveland's majority will not exceed 15,000. Both Congressional districts are sure democratic. CONNECTICUT. Meriden, Nov. S.

Meriden will poll the biggest vote in its history, reaching to nearly 6,000. At 10 a. m. 2,300 votes had been polled. Indications at this hour are that the democratic plurality will be largely reduced.

Cleveland electors are being heavily pasted. The weather is perfect RHODE ISLAND. Pbovidence, R. Nov. 8.

The weather is warm and pleasant A big date for congress in the First district, may be defeated, though his supporters claim he will not run below 500 majority. Prospects favor the election of a democratic and people's party legislature, fusion in forty-seven districts on legislative candidates furnishing the basis of democratic confidence. Congressman Gorman was badly injured at Jackson while attempting to board a train to go home to vote. He, being a one-armed man, could not catch the platform rail readily, missed it and was thrown against the depot gates. It is not known whether his injuries will prove serious.

OHIO. Cleveland, Nov. 8. This is one of the most quiet presidential elections Cleveland has ever experienced. The voters are putting their ballots ia straight and saying little.

At 11 o'clock, over half the entire vote of the city had been polled. The indications are that White and Hodge, republican candidates for congress, will be elected, while the county will give its usual majority for the republican presidential candidate. The weather is crisp. Not a disturbance of any kind had been reported up to noon. Cincinnati, Nov.

8. The election is progressing quietly. The indications are that a full vote will be polled. The only important feature of the election is the fight for congressman in the Second district Bellamy Storer is a candidate for re-election on the republican ticket The Catholic Telegraph, of which Father Mackey is editor, has supported him through the campaign, and for that reason he is being scratched for Bowler, the democratic candidate. The outcome of this particular contest is hard to predict, Toledo, Nov.

The weather is perfect. Ritchie for congress, is running ahead of his ticket in this city. The American Protective association is an important factor, but it is impossible as yet to tell what the effect their votes will have on the result. Zanesvili.e, Nov. 8.

Weather cool. An unusually large vote has been polled thus far. Everything quiet around the polling places. Both parties seem to be getting in their full vote. Cleveland, Nov.

8. Reports from all northern Ohio cities and towns are to the effect that the election is being conducted in a quiet manner, and that a full vote is being polled. The weather throughout this part of the state is pleasant In Cleveland two-thirds of the vote had been polled at 2 o'clock. MINNESOTA. Minneapolis, Nov.

S. Everything is quiet and a very heavy vote is being polled in this city Both parties, on account of a heavy registration, made a special effort to get out a large vote early and succeeded. The republicans are claiming that a large vote is in their favor, but is too early to figure on results. St. Paul, Nov.

8. When the polls opened in this city there was a light snow falling, which ceased about 10 o'clock. The weather at noon was clear and cooler. The early vote throughout the city was heavier than it has ever been before since the Australiam system was adopted. In most of the local precincts voting is going on at about the rate of sixty per hour.

Advices from outside districts in the state indicate a heavy vote. At republican headquarters a conservative estimate is made that the republican candidate for governor will have a majority of 30,000. The Daily Globe (dem.) concedes plurality for Nebon. Indications point much higher vote for the peoples' party than was given to the alliance party at the gubernatorial election two years ago. ILLINOIS.

CniCAGO, Nov. S. The anticipations raised by the heavy registration in this city have been fully justified by the unprecedented vote cast up to noon. The weather was clear and cold, and the polling booths opened promptly at 6 o'clock, as the law directs, but even before that hour there were knots of voters clustered arouna the voting places ready to deposit their ballots. It is safe to say that fully one-half of the entire vote was cast before 11 o'clock, and save a few straggling ballots the judges and clerks had little to do after noon.

The injunction to vote early was generally obeyed. Little can bo said as to the complexion of the vote, fur- ther than that the indications are of a pretty strict party vote on the national ticket, some scratching on the state officers and a general-go-as-you-please so far as county officers are concerned. In some wards it was said that the Lutherans were voting solidly for Altgeldt, while in others they were standing by their former political affiliations. Throughout the state the same favorable weather prevailed as in this city, and reports were all of a heavy vote. Nothing definite has been heard from any of the congressional fights, and it will require the official count in many of the close districts to give any idea of the result.

PENNSYLVANIA. Pittsburgh, Nov. 8. The day opened clear and frosty an ideal election day. The new Baker Dallot system was inaugurated and voting is progressing satisfactorily and with less friction than was anticipated.

The indications are for a large vote, with bat slight change from the usual "state of Allegheny" result. WEST VIRGINIA. Wheeling, W. Nov. 8.

Reports from all portions of the state show that the voting is proceeding quietly, and an enormous vote is being polled. A large force of deputy marshals is at the polls in Mercer and Mc Ideal Election Day All Over the Country. HEAVY VOTE POLLED EVERYWHERE. Reports from AH Sources Indicate Quiet and Good Order where Trouble and Bloodshed Had Been Threatened. A Number of Arrests Made In Naw York and Brooklyn of Persons who Had Registered or Voted IUesallr.

NKW YORK. Nnw Yokk, Not. 8. Arrests for illegal registration were not so numerous in the early morning hours as had licen expected. To dispose of such cases three United States commissioners were in continous session from 9 o'clock Messrs Shields and Deul in the federal building and Spooner at 1.15 West One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street, Harlem.

Arrangements 'had "been made by Tammany Hall for the release on bail of any of their voters who might fall into the official clutches I of a deputy United States mar-1 shall, and the organization had several lawyers before each commissioner ftp see that the prisoners were properly treated, uau to the amount oi nearly $4,000,000 was arranged for Monday, sureties having qualified before the t'uitcd States commissioners in that sum. There was no attempt to have a formal examination in any case. The prisoners made a statement and were then subjected to a questioning by an assistant district attorney and a Tammany lawyer, and upon the facts as tiiey were disclosed the court acted. A number of the arrests were based upon evident misunderstandings, and the prisoners were discharged. In other cases they were held for future examination, under bail of $1,000 or $1,500.

Most of the morning arrests were on warrants previously issued, mainly upon Chief Inspector Davenport's affidavits. In a. number of stances the attorneys for the prisoners, after the latter had been released on bail, would ask the commissioner: "Can this man vote?" to which the invariable response was: "That is a question for the inspectors to decide." The cases of the city hospital attaches, who work for board and lodging and were recently placed on the pay-roll, were set for hearing at 10 o'clock next Tuesday morning before Commissioner Shields. One arrest that created some amuse-rient and not a little amazement oc- in the Twenty-fourth precinct. A.jRcputy marshal brought in a blind Pole whom he had arrested because he could not see the ballot offered him.

The commissioners at once ordered the discharge of the prisoner. Fifty of the S00 warrants issued Mon-dpvAvere executed at the polls 8 a. m. wcre for trial and the were discharged. Up to 10 o'clock twenty-five arrests were reported at the federal building.

The weather is bright and clear. At 6 o'clock the polls were opened and the work of election day began, the day which for so many months has been oked forward to the climax of a grand and exciting campaign. The early scenes were busy ones. Long lines of voters waited anxiously and discussed in animated tones the virtues of their respective candidates. In the business districts the great majority of houses were closed and nearly all public offices were also shut up for the day.

The voters came 'early to the polls and in several election districts visited it, was said that not a single ballot was lost through ignorance of the new system. At Tammany nail the clans began to gather before the sun's rays had struck the famous building. Excitement was soon at fever heat, kept so by favorable reports from all sections of the city. Taken all in all the opening hours of the day were auspicious and gave promise of much excitement and earnest work throughout the day by the party men. Although the police had made elaborate arrangements to meet any disturbance that might arise during the day, they expressed the belief that the A lection would pass off peaceably.

Byrnes was in receipt of news 1 ''m all election districts as early at 10 o'clock, and he said the reports showed "Sundav-like quietness." i Police headquarters is swarming with Jbflicers. No person can recall an election day when so many policemen were ouartered about the building. They are ready to "enforce order." In Brooklyn the election is passing off quietly. The early vote was unusually large and a big vote is expected. On Staten island everything was moving smoothly and a big vote is being polled.

The great center of interest of the up town polling places was at Si6 tixth avenue, for it was there that ex-President Cleveland was to cast his ballot. A large crowd surrounded the place all morning waiting to get a glimpse of the democratic candidate for president. It was just 10:25 clock when Mr. Cleveland left his residence at 102 West Fifty-first street. He was accompanied by George N.

Parker, of the democratic national committee, and by his butler. They walked to the polling place. When Sixth avenue was reached the crowd that surrounded the polling place was so large a policeman had to clear i a passage for the distinguished par5l The ex-president entered the storJjjd, after the usual formalities, cats tr his vote. In Brooklyn twelve arrests were made ptol0 o'clock for violations of the JA.f.Vn lilts. As the morning advanced the arrest became more numerous in New Torli entered republican headquarters early and remarked that he was just as confident of the result as ever.

A democratic national headquarters the only chiefs on duty were Secretary Sperrin and Mr. Smaller, Chairman Harrity left early for Philadelphia and will return in the evening. Shortly before noon Thomas Murphy was arrested in the Third assembly district far illegal registration. Denutv United States Marshal Waehner started with the prisoner for United States Commissioner Shields' office, and while on the way a number of Murphy's friends assaulted the marshal. A small riot was precipitated, but assistance soon arrived and the prisoner was safely landed before the commissioner.

George W. Burlmson, (not Eobinson as previously sent), a democratic com- mitteeman for West Chester county, was brought before Commissioner Deuel, charged with aiding and abet-! ting illegal registration and was re-! leased in bail. Newbl-rg, N. Nov. S.

8. The day opened with dark clouds, but the indications are rather against rain. There was an unusually large early vote. There was some cutting on local candidates, but the electoral tickets will not be greatly affected. Buffalo, N.

Nov. S. The weather is cold and cloud with indications of a snow fall before night. Voting is progressing rapidly and quietly so far. The early vote is large and the indications are that a full vote will be cast, The first arrests of the day were made in the Fifth district of the Nine- teenth ward, where eight men were gathered in by United States marshals, for illegal registration, before they had an opportunity to vote.

No interference was offered to their arrest. They were taken before Commissioner Ilirseh- beck, pleaded not guilty and bail in $1,000 each was furnished. Rochester, N. Nov. 8.

Weather cloudy, voting brisk but exceedingly quiet INDIANA. Indianapolis, Nov. S. Election day in President Harrison's home dawned cold and bright. There was not a cloudto be seen, and except that the air was raw, better election weather was never supplied to a zealous people.

Early in the day the challengers and outside watchers had rather a chilly time of it. but they were doubtless sustained by the warmth of their devotion to their i work. Instructions to early" were generally observed. At every polling place in the earlier part of the day, voters were in line, waiting for a chance to get into the booths. At some precincts, on the north side especially, twenty-five to thirty men were in 'Hue, shivering in the cold and denouncing the election officers for alleged incompetency.

The chief source of complaint was that the polling places did not open at 6 o'clock, as required by law. In some instances the polls did not open till 7 o'clock, and in other places the polls were not open at 8:30. As the balloting progressed it became evident that the vote would be unprecedented. Probably the forenoon vote was never so heavy. Both sides were at work in dead earnest.

The small size of the precincts enabled the voters to record their preferences rapidly and to recover time lost in opening. Up to 11 o'clock but one arrest had been made. At 11 o'clock the indications were that more than one-half of the vote would be cast before noon. The presence of United States marshals about the down town precincts was not noticeable. In the Ninety-seventh precinct, with polls at 33 East Market street, a marshal appeared about 8 o'clock and entered the election room.

The democratic challenger notified the board of his official character and he was requested to leave. The marshal left without further ceremony. In over a dozen precincts over half the vote had been cast by 11 o'clock. IxniANAPOLts, Nov. 8.

At 2 o'clock the balloting was proceeding quietly, and with the exception of a small-sized row, in which some colored voters were challenged in a north side ward, there has been no trouble. Advices from various cities and towns throughout the state tell of heavy voting and fine weather. At the republican headquarters in this city at 1 p. m. everything was quiet.

Chairman Taggart was seen at the democratic headquarters during the afternoon. He said: "Judging from the telegrams we are receiving from aU over the state everything seems to be going on nicely. We have heard of some slight irregularities, but nothing that is serious at all." MICHIGAN. Detroit, Nov. 8.

In this city 50,000 voters were registered. A canvass at 9 a. in. showed an average of one-fourth of the vote already cast, with indications of straight voting by both parties. A bitter quarrel on religious grounds promises to bring out a heavy vote and materially assist the democratic ticket.

Reports from the state are meager as yet The democratic: NOT A WHEEL TURNING The Consolidated Street Railway Tied Up at Columbus, O. COMPANY ANO CITIZENS SURPRISED. The Strike Occasioned by the Suspension of a Conductor who Refused to Accept a Plugged Dime from a Passenger. Couxmbus, Nov. 9.

The entire system of the consolidated street railway system is tied up. The conductors and motormen have gone out on strike. The strike was caused by the discharge of Conductor Clarence Alexander, who had declined to accept a mutilated dime from a passenger. The passenger claimed to have received the coin from another conductor, but as the rules of the company make the conductors stand good for mutilated coins, Alexander refused to accept it whereupon the passenger reported him. General Manager Stewart states that the company immediately began an investigation, and had about come to the conclusion that Alexander was not in fault, and would probably have reinstated him, but the employes demanded that he be reinstated by 3 o'clock Monday afternoon.

The investigation not being completed, the company refused to accede to this demand, and about 2 a. the employes held a meeting and decided upon the tie-up. The action of the employes was kept very quiet and the company, as well as the citizens, were taken wholly by surprise. There has been considerable trouble between the employes and the management for some time, owing to the frequency of the shortage slips furnished to the conductors. One conductor, who counted his cash in the presence of a lawyer and deposited it in company's box.

was notified that he was three dollars short on the trip. It is thought that this aided greatly in the action taken by the men to go out in support of Alexander. The company directors have been in consultation with the mayor, and have been promised police protection should any attempt to run cars be made. The strikers are congregated about the barns, but are quiet, although it is feared that trouble will surely result if any attempt is made to run cars with non-union men. Every line in the city, with exception of the West Broad street road, is at a standstill, and as the whole police force is on duty at the polls, it is doubtful whether the company will have sufficent police protection to operate the cars to-day.

Senator Quay's Tip. Pittsburgh, Nov. 8. Senator Quay, returned from Philadelphia on his way to Beaver to vote. While at Union station, he said to a United Press reporter: "I am informed that President Harrison will be re-elected, and that he will carry New York.

The re-publiaan leaders are confident of this result State Chairman Reeder tells me that Pennsylvania will give a majority of 70,000 for Harrison. He is confident of the legislature and doe not anticipate a slump in any quarter." Fraudulent Votes Headed Oft Wilmington, Nov. S. A gang ol men sent from Baltimore to fraudulently vote in this city, by a Washington lawyer, acting for Wilmington parties, was met by detectives and sen! whence they came.

The Times prints a three-column article recounting the dynamite outrages and protesting against the granting of amnesty to the men who were engaged in them. It says: "We can not reach the miscreants who direct and subsidize the plots from Chicago and New York, but by stern enforcement of the law we may hope to dampen the eager 'heroism' of their subordinates.
