Ll ‘Telrans i ‘The Sl THE PETERSBURG FIGHT. Election Officers Not Able to Handle the Crowds—Democratic Gains. Special Dispatch to Tax Evexine Stan. Pererssure, Va., Nov. 6.—Petersburg has a cloudless sky and a sunny September day. Her voting population is out im great force— too great, in fact, for her election officials in some of the colored wards to handle. Long lines of colored voters, three or four deep, may be seen at a number of polling places struggling to make their way to the front, with only a faint prospect of reaching the desired point. This is, of course, unsatisfactory to the republicans, who charge that the delay isa willful obstruction of the voters. On the other hand the democrats assert that the judges are overloaded in the rush of the colored men for the ballot box; that in many cases the resemblance between colored ap- plicants is so close, and their places ‘of abode so mythical that much questioning in regard to habitation, name, &c., is necessary for maintaining the purity of the elections. “An aged darkey in the sixth ward this morning, when asked who his father and mother were, declared he would not know | “em if they ris from the dead.” No doubt | longer hangs over the situation. In this, a republican and colored stronghold, compared with the vote for Blaine four years ago, THE DEMOCRATIC GAIN on the presidential vote will be so considerable | as to seriously impair any chance which the republicans might otherwise have had of car- rying the state. Their angry congressional fight has given a rare opportunity to the dem- ocrats, which the latter have seized, and are for all it is worth. Had there been re- publican union in this matter the majority for ison would have been one of the largest istrict ever gave. OF THE SITUATION IN GENERAL | in nearly all counties where the negro vote is | large enough to have invited special considera- tion and careful treatment at the hands of the | democratic managers. In this connection the | | republican claim of gains in the white counties | should be given its just weight. As to this dis- | trict, Venable, the democratic candidate for | Congress, will probably be returned as the elected candidate, with Langston a contestant for the seat. Langston’s expectation of con- testing the seat has already announced. | Tt is not likely that any ‘result favorable to | either of the other candidates would be sub- mitted to by him. gota ae INDIANA ALSO VOTES EARLY.

Democrats Made Happy by a Very Heavy Early Vote. Special Dispatch to Tax Evawrxe Stan. New Havex, Coxx., Nov. 6.—At 5 o'clock this morning it was raining. At 6, when the polls had opened, rain had ceased. A thick fog settled down over the city, and had not disap- pearedatnoon. The voting this morning was the heaviest on both sides ever known in this city. Before the polls opened long rows of workingmen stood in front of the voting places anxious to obey the injunctions of the newspapers to vote early. Two hours and a half after voting began in the fourth ward 700 ballots had been deposited, and in the seventh ward, another democratic stronghold, 600 votes had been polled. Similar returns came from other wards and THE DEMOCRATS WERE HAPPY, believing that with such an extraordinarily heavy poll Cleveland would receive a plurality in the towns which the rest of the state could not offset; but the republicans showed remark- estextent, Should s Corset not wear, no matter at what price we will, without parley, exchange same for you, LANSBURGH & BRO., ONE PRICE. 420, 422, 424, 426 7th st. 417, 419 Sth st, a Me Paser ‘Has Moved to 1225 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE, (Bradbury Piano Ware Rooms, Office on First Floor). ‘Will at all times be ready to receive and execute orders for Visiting Cards, Wedding Cards, Reception Cards, Monograms, Crests.

Special Dispatch to Tax EvENING STAR. Aupaxy, Nov. 6.—Reports from the state show that every inch of New York is being stubbornly contested, but indicate that the democratic national ticket is more than holding its ground. The amount of money ever spent in New York has gone into this canvass, and had the democrats not been prepared for republican money the state would swamped. HIGH PRICES FOR VOTES. In Albany $10 and $15 have been paid for votes, It is reported the vest-pocket vote is ‘an and large and factory to the democrats.

New Yorx, Nov. 6, 1:35 p. m.—Tammany claims that the county democrats are every- where trading Cleveland for their local ticket.

The elec- tion is mas and orderly, The workers are active. ‘There is nothing from the county. Wixcuester, Va. Nov. 6.—The weather is clear, bright and warm. A large vote is being polled in the city and county. Fort Moyrog, Va., Nov. 6.—The day is clear and warm. A large vote is being cast. Wil- liams, anti-Mahone candidate, is getting little support, and it is believed Bowden carry the district, Daxvitte, Va., Nov. 6.—The weather is clear, balmy and spring-like. A heavy vote is being polled. The negroes are voting solidly for the republicans, and the whites for the democrats, The vote here will be very close, one hundred peajorily, perhaps, for the demo- crats, the same as in 1 CuaRvortrviLie, Va., Nov. 6.—Voting is Proceeding quietly but earnestly, and there is promise of a very full vote. This city will give an increased majority over that of 1884. The negroes are solid for the republican ticket. Weather clear and warm, Roanoke, Va., Nov. 6.--The weather is warm and fair. Both parties are Ue a large vote. The city will go between 150 and 200 | lightful, anda heavy votes being polled. The it may now be predicted that the republican | presidential vote will fall below that of Blaine | | vote will probably be polled throughout the democratic majority. Lyncasure, Va., Nov. 6.—The weather is de- democrats are confident of carrying the city by an increased majority. Ricumonp, Va., Nov. 6.—Fine weather, a full state. Everything is quiet, as far as heard from. Wise is expected to get the usual ma- jority in this district. MUCH INTEREST IN THE CONTEST AT NORFOLK. Norrotx, Va., Nov. 6.—The weather is clear and warm, and voting in Norfolk and Ports- mouth cities and Norfolk County is progressin; rapidly, and more interest is shown by bot! parties than in any election for years. The colored people are bringing out their full strength and assert intense opposition to tariff reform. This congressional district is ber republican and Geo. F. Bow- den, the republican resentative, will be re- turned. He claims to-day 6,000 ey. Nor- folk city gave Blaine 407 majority, and while Harrison's majority may not be 80 large the town will probably go republicanfowing to a democratic split in the municipal spring contest. Portsmouth, which gave 32 majority for Blaine, will go democratic by a small majority. There is no obstruction at the polls, and the colored vote is being recorded rapidly. In the largest colored precinct of the town this morning a democratic supervisor had A JUDGE OF ELECTION ARRESTED for allowing alleged ex-convicts to vote. Judge Hughes of the United States Court discharged. the election judge and ordered the arrest of the democratic supervisor for Gariaa | vot- ing, revoked his commission and bound him over to appear before the grand jury. This in- cident has created great excitement among democrats and republicans, but no trouble is apprehended. ARRISONBURG, VA., Nov. 6.—A heavy vote is being polled. The weather is bright and warm. ——_o— NEW HAMPSHIRE. Voting for President, Congressmen, Governor and Legislature. Concorp, N. H., Nov. 6.—New Hampshire elects a Governor and legislature to-day be- sides Presidential electors and hepa David H. Goodell, of Antrim, is the republic: and Charles H. Amsden, of Penacook, is the democratic candidate for governor. The legis- lature to be chosen will elect a successor to U. §. Senator Wm. E. Chandler. Delegates to the convention, which is to convene in January, 1889, to revise the constitution of the state wil also be elected. Thé probabilities are that there will be no choice for Governor by the people, @ majority being required to elect; that Mr. Nute will defeat McKinney, who is now in Congress, and that Mr. Mann will carry the second district. The legislature will be close, with the chances in favor of the republi- cans. This will insure the return of a republi- can to the U. 8. Senate. os . NORTH CAROLINA. Voting for President, Congressmen, and the State Legislature. Wirarnatox, N. C., Nov. 6.—The democratic, republican, and prohibition parties have Presi- dential tickets in the field in North Carolina this year. A full state ticket and members of both houses of the legislature are tobe elected, and an amendment to the state constitution in- creasing the number of judges of the Supreme Court from three to five is to be submitted. The democratic candidate for governor is Daniel G. Fowles, republican candidate Oliver H. Dockery, prohibition candidate W. F, Walker. ‘The congressional nominees are: First district, Skinner, democrat; White, re- ublican, Second district, Simmon mocrat; Sheatham, republican. Third disffict, Mc- Clammy, democrat; Robinson, ah pee Fourth district, Bunn, democrat; Nochals, re- ublican. 4, democrat; rower, republica , Rowland, democrat; Lockey, republican. Seventh dis- trict, Henderson, democrat. Eighth district, Cowles, democrat. Ninth district, Johnston, democrat; Ewart, republican. The legislature to be elected will choose a United States Senator to succeed Ransom, dem- ocrat. The labor element may exercise some influence in a few counties, but not much sig- nificance is attached to it. Considerable in- terest, however, is felt in the movements of the Farmers’ Alliance, which is believed to be very strong and may influence the election of United States Senator. While it is expected that the prohibition vote will be small, if the election is close it may determine the result. Rarzien, N. ©., Nov. 6.—The election re- turns will be compared with the vote for gov- ernor in 1888, when Scales, democrat, received 143,000 and York, liberal republican, 122,934. Unusual efforts have been made on both sides to poll a full vote, and the republicans have sought to carry the legislature, which will elect a United States Senator, andin which two years ago they combined with the independ- ents, secured control of the House, and came near havinga ee = joint ballot. The prohibitionists have been active and their strength is an unknown element. Raxeztou, N. C., Nov. 6.—The weather is fair and pleasant and voting is going on quietly and eaceably throughout the state. It is probable t the vote will be a very heavy one. MASSACHUSETTS.

SHEFFIELD, ALa., Nov. 6,—The weather is cloudy, but there is norain. Voting is Se gressing slowly without excitement. The indi- cations are that a fairly full vote will be polled, Mozrxe, Aua., Nov. 6.—The weather is fine. The vote in the Red begins quite light, the negroes so far exhibiting more interest than the whites. ae OHIO. Rainy Weather and a Heavy Early Vote Reported. Cixcrxxati, Nov. 6.—The weather may be classed rainy throughout Ohio, It is every- where reported cloudy and threatening. Here heavy showers fell before 10 o'clock, and the sky is darkly overcast, In this city the voting is progressing very rapidly, fully one-half the entire registered vote being cast before 9 o'clock. In many precincts two-thirds of the vote was cast at that hour. KEEN INTEREST AND SOME DISTURBANCES. Cotumpvus, On10, Nov. 6.—Reports thus far received from the state show a big vote being cast. Early in the day the vote promised to be unprecedented. Great interest is being taken all over the state, and in some quarters disturbance is feared. At Urbana one arrest has already been made for illegal voting and two arrests for creating a disturbance are re- ported from the same place. VOTING EARLY DESPITE WRETCHED WEATHER. Crxcrxnatt, Ohio, Nov. 6.—The rain which began between 9and 10 with a heavy shower, has continued slowly with a falling tempera- ture. There is not, at noon, any Pipevect of clearing weather. Three-fourths of the regis- tered voters are reported to have cast their ‘votes at 10 o'clock. The names and residences of the others are on record in each precinct and committees are at work istrict 3 em in, so that the whole vote will probably be cast despite weather. There have been no arrests for violation of the election law, but about twenty-five saloon-keepers have been arrested for keeping their houses open con- trary to law. The polls close at 4 p.m, “OOLORADO. Elements of Uncertainty in the Contest. Dexvar, Cou., Nov. 6.—Unusual interest is taken in the election in Colorado this year. It is for all state offices, congressmen, members of the legislature, two judges of the supreme court, county and township officers, ‘here are elements of i cperdenge f in this election which renders predictions of but little value. One of these is the large increase oe ulation, Denver alone having increased 000 wthi San Francisco, Nov. 6.—The election laws of the past two years, and the s outside of the city, probably 60. 000. ‘The registration in this city is nearly 25,000, or twice that of 1886. The state gave Blaine a plurality of nearly 9,000 in 1884. athe best politicians, however, do not concede the state to Harrison by this amount. The con- test for governor between Hon. T. M. Patterson, the democratic candidate, and Hon. J. A. Cooper, the republican, will probably be very close. The struggle for the legislature is the most animated feature of the contest, both parties being confident. CALIFORNIA. the State Likely to Tardy. The Returns from Be California made a rapid canvass impossible, It directs that each ticket which embraces the candidates for national, state and local offices be entirely counted seriatim and inflicts a pen- alty for sorting out the tickets in order to count the straight ballots first. It is seldom that one hundred complete precincts are re- ported on the night of an election. This, to- Carre with the difference in time between ‘alifornia and the East and the necessary de- lays in telegraphing over great distances, will tend to make the Pacific coast returns from to- day’s election tardy in comparison with those from points further East. GEORGIA. A FULL DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION. Avousta, Ga., Nov. 6.—The weather is fine and the vote light, as the registration law cuts off white and colored alike in this county. The reports of the threatened transfer in South Carolina between the whites and blacks is probably exaggerated. A full democratic del- one mn in Geot will be elected to Congress. The prohibitionists have a full electoral ticket in the field, with prospects of a very small sup- port. Savannan, Ga., Nov, 6.—The vote up to noon is the largest that has ever been polled in this county. Several arrests have been made for illegal voting. A large force of con- stables and polloe is on duty to preserve order. carwreeetentipen satin NEW JERSEY. A Full Vote at Newark. Newank, N. J., Nov. 6.—The election is going on quietly. A full vote is being polled. A few arrests have been made for illegal voting. The indications for the cotnty are that it will be close on the national candidates. The democrats will probably elect six out of ten assemblymen. KENTUCKY. Rain and Democratic Gains. Lovrsviiz, Ky., Nov. 6.—Rain is falling pri, tte the state.

Kansas Crry, Mo., Nov. 6, 10:30 a.m,—Weather cold and clear, Very heavy vote being polled at every precinct. It is evident that scarcity of voting places will cause many to lose their votes by being crowded out, as registra- tion is so that in many precincts votes will have to be polled at the rate of one a min- ute to getthem allin. Advices from points in Eastern Kansas and Western Missouri show that a heavy vote is being polled. The indica- tions are for clearing weather. The fifth ward in Wyandotte was the scene of much confusion this morning. Mayor Har- man OS aioe judges contrary to the *p ro" of the council. ouncilman iltiker refused to allow the lis to be opened, and at 8 o’clock a general row oc- curred, which resulted in the police taking charge of the ballot-box.
