Lat Tans Te Se THE PETERSBURG FIGHT. Election Officers Not Able to Handle the Crowds—Democratic Gains. Special Dispatch to Tax Eventna Stan. Pererssune, Va., Nov. 6.—Petersbuag has a cloudless sky and a sunny September day. Her voting population is out in 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 lof abode so mythical that much estioning in regard to habitation, name, &c., necessary for maintaining the purity of the lections, An aged ‘key 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- oorats, which the latter ave seized, and are using for all it is worth. Had there been re- ublican union in this matter the majority for larrison would have been one of the largest the district ever gave. OF THE SITUATION IN GENERAL it may now be predicted that the republican presidential vote will fall below that of Blaine 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 been announced. It is not likely that any result favorable to either of the other candidates would be sub- mitted to by him. —_— en INDIANA ALSO VOTES EARLY. Half the Votes in at 11 O’Clock—Promi- inent Men Arrested. Special Dispatch to Taz EVENixe Stax. Ispranapouis, Nov. 6.—A steady rain fell during the greater part of the morning, but it has now ceased, and the weather is clear. Re- rts from over the state indicate an unusually | oie vote is being polled. In this city the voting precincts are surrounded by unusually heavy crowds, many prominent citizens being resent. The vote is coming in very rapidly. 'y 11 o’clock over half the total vote is said to have been in many precincts. PROMINENT MEN ARRESTED. Up to noon there had been several arrests by the U. S. deputy marshals for illegal voting and intimidation. Mr. Harry Now, a prominent re- publican and son of John O. New, of the Journal, and Mr. O. H. Hasselman, a republican worker, were arrested for alleged intimidation of voters. They were taken before U. S. Commissioner Morris and released upon their own recogni- zance. Twelve or fourteen arrests for illegal voting have been made. All but seven of these have been dismissed. There are reports of many challenges at the different precint polls, but these are local arrests. Up to noon no serious trouble is reported. es AT NEW HAVEN. Democrats Made Happy by a Very Heavy Early Vote. Special Dispatch to THE EVENING Stan, New Havex, Conn., Nov. 6.—At 5 o'clock this morning it was raining. At 6, when the polls had opened, rain had ceased. A thick fog Fimt- | settled down over the city, and had not disap- peared at noon. 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- able activity also, and polled their full strength. From other towns in the state come similar re- rts. The voting goes on quietly, and is the ‘gest ever known in Connecticut, There was some uneasiness early in the ‘pa; Se the democrats over a report that a bogus a tag cratic ticket had been sent out, defective as to one elector’s name, the scheme pang get enough of these votes into the ballot-box to cause the defeat of one democratic elector. No such ballots have appeared in New Haven, however. FORGED LETTERS. ‘M. 8. Quay, chairman of the republican na- tional committee, telegraphs to chairman Day, of the Connecticut republican committee, that the letters published in the Hartford Tel m. | yesterday, addressed to Bulkeley, republican candidate for governor, signed M. 8. Quay and rting to be copied from Quay’s letter Bool , are forgeries entire. The letters urged Bulkeley to withdraw from the race because of the charges made against him in the Telegram, ———_—_— CONTESTING EVERY INCH. A Hard Fight in New York, but Cleve- land Holds His Own. Special Dispatch to Tax EveNrxe Stan. Atzaxy, 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 largest amount of money ever spent in New York has gone into this canvass, and had the democrats not been pet for republican money the state would swamped. HIGH PRICES FOR VOTES. In Albany #10 and $15 have been paid for votes. Itis reported the vest-pocket vote is large and satisfactory to the democrats. I see nothing to warrant a change in the estimate given afew Be 0 that Cleveland's plurality, with 50,000 jew York city, will exe 8,000. Arrests for fraudulent voting are numerous. E.T.C. —_>—_—_ TRADING IN NEW YORK. Tammany Says the Counties are Doing it Right and Left. Special Dispstch to Tux Everxe Stan, New You, Nov. 6, 1:35 p. m.—Tammany claims that the county democrats are every- where trading Cleveland for their local ticket. Open charges are made against Tim Campbell, John Cavanagh, and Excise Commissioner 7 Mitchell. There will be a considerable labor vote for Harrison, for Miller, for governor, and Presidential Electors and Representa- tives in Congress Voted For. Ricumonp, Va., Nov. 6.—The only parties in Virginia having tickets in the field for Presi- dent this year are the democrati¢ and repub- lican. _ dential electors and Repre- sentatives in are to be chosen in the ten districts of the state. The cor candidates are as follows : more 8. Kendall, dem.; 8. H. Bayly rep. Second district—k. ©. Marshall, dem.; Geo. A. Bowden, Andy William (anti-Mahone), tehad Waddill rep.

Sravwrox, Va., Nov. 6.—The weather is clear and warm. Atnoon 1,100out of the 1,400 register ed voters in the city have voted. No intelligent estimate of the result can be given. The elec- tion is quiet and orderly. e workers are active. There is nothing from the county. Wrscugster, Va. Nov. 6.—The weather is clear, bright and warm. ' A large vote is being polled in the city and county. Fort Mownos, Va., Nov. 6.—The day is clear and warm. A large vote is being cast. Wil- Hams, anti-Mahono candidate, is getting little support, and it is believed Bowden carry the district. Daxvittz, Va., Nov. 6.—The weather is — balmy and spring-like. A erat Miter eit olled. The negroes are vo! solidly fe “Ey republicans, tnd the whites for the democrats. The vote here will be very close, one hundred feepear sic Pg for the demo- crats, the same as in 1 CHaRLoTTEVILLE, Va., Nov. 6.—Voting is Lehane 3 quietly but earnestly, and there is promise of a very full vote. Thiscity will ee an increased luajority over that of 1884. The negroes are solid for the republican ticket. Weather clear and warm. Roanoxe, Va., Nov. 6.--The weather is warm and fair. Both parties are polling a large vote. The city will go between 150 and 200 democratic majority. Lyxcusvura, Va., Nov. 6.—The weather is de- lightful, and a heavy vote isbeing polled. The democrats are confident of carrying the city by an increased majority. Ricumonp, Va., Nov. 6.—Fine weather, a full vote will probably be polled throughout the 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. Norrork, 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 then 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 largely republican and Geo. F. Bow- den, the republican Representative, will be re- turned. He claims jay 6,000 majority. Nor- folk city gave Blaine 407 majority, and while Harrison's majority may not be 80 large the town will probably go republican, owing 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 obstructing 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, ARRISONDURG, Va., Nov. 6.—A heavy vote is being polled. The weather is brightand warm. neal NEW HAMPSHIRE. Voting for President, Congressmen, Governor and Legislature. Coxcorp, N. H., Nov. 6.—New Hampshire elects a Governor and legislature to-day be- sides Presidential electors and Congressmen. David H. Goodell, of Antrim, is the republican and Charles H, Amsden, of Penacook, is the democratic candidate for governor. The legis- lature to be chosen will elect a successor to U. 8. 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. The probabilities are that there will be no choice for Governor by the ople, a majority being required to elect; at 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. --—>—— NORTH CAROLINA. Voting for President, Congressmen, and the State Legislature. ‘Witarxorox, 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, cio candidate Oliver H. Dockery, prohjbition candidate W. F. Walker. The congressional nominees are: First district, Skinner, democrat; White, re- ublican. Second district, Simmons, democrat; heatham, republican. Third district, Mc- Clammy, ‘democrat; Robinson, republican, Fourth district, Bunn, democrat; Nochals, re~ ublican. Fifth district, Morehead, democrat; | Ne republican, Sixth district, Rowland, democrat; Lockey, republican. Seventh dis- trict, Henderson, democrat. Eighth district, Cowles, democrat. Ningh 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 1s close it may determine the result, Raueicn, N, C., 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, beral 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 having a majority on joint ballot. The prohibitionists have also been active and their strength is an unknown element, Raxzson, 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.

Cixcryxati, 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. many precincts two-thirds of the vote was cast at that hour. KEEN INTEREST AND GOME DISTURBANCES, CoLumBus, OxIo, 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. Crxctnxatt, Ohio, Nov. 6.—The rain which began between 9 and 10 with a heavy shower, has continued slowly with a falling ‘tempera- ture. There is not, at noon, any aes 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 @nd committees are at work bringing them in, #0 that the whole vote will probably be cast despite the weather. There haye been no arrests for violation of 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. COLORADO. Elements of Uncertainty in the Contest. Denver, Cox., 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, There are elements of uncertain’ rf in this election which renders predictions of but little value. One of these is the large increase in population, Denver alone having increased 46,000 wthin, the — two years, and the staite outside of the oie. 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, The 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, wi Grrerced be very close. The Gt Wed for the legislature is the most animated feature of the contest, both parties being confident. — CALIFORNIA, The Returns from the State Likely to Be Tardy. Sawn Francisco, Nov. 6.—The election laws of 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 infficts 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- gether with the difference in time between California and the East and the de- Jays in boos toe over great distances, will oe to oe ie cane returns rae ey y's election tardy in comparison with those from points further East. —>—___ GEORGIA. A FULL DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION. Avavsta, Ga., Nov. 6.—The weather is fine and the vote light, as the registration law cuts off white and cdlored 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- egation in Georgia will be elected to e868. e prohibitionists have a full electoral ret in the field, with prospects of a very small sup- rt, D hivinvin! 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 police is on duty to preserve order. — NEW JERSEY. A Full Vote at Newark. Newanx, 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 county are that it will be close on the national candidates. The democrats will probably elect six out of ten assemblymen.

Mayor Har- man appointed judges “gar 8 to the ry pproval of the council, uncilman er refused to allow the polls to be cages oa at 8 o'clock a general row oc- curred, which resulted in the police taking charge of the ballot-box. The result has not yet been determined. The ward is republican. FLORIDA. The Republican Majority Will be Cut Down at Jacksonville. JacxsonvitiE, Fra., Nov. 6.—The weather has cleared and the day is delightful; rather too warm, Two-thirds of the democratic vote isin already. The negroes are standing off somewhat. The republican vote so far is light. The county gave a_ republican one le! Blaine in 1884 of about 1,200, will be largely reduced this year. The most a democrats in the county committee predicts a Cleveland majority of 100 in Duval county and the election of the full county ticket. If this prediction is fulfilled even approximately, Butler, dem., will be elected to Congress in the second district by over 1,000 majority. There isnothing from the outside count yet. 2st CONNECTICUT. Morris Will Run Ahead of His Ticket. New Haver, Coyn., Nov.6.—The weather to- day has been damp, but a big vote will be polled. Cleveland seems to be poll- ing the usual democratic majority and will receive in this city a majority of about 3,000. L. B.

DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. ‘THE WIDENING OF COLUMBIA ROAD. The Commissioners have received a letter from Mr. M. Sonnehill, the attorney for Max Lansburg, inquiring when the first condemna- tion of his client's land was had and what bene- fits and damages were awarded, he being under the impression that there had been no jury of condemnation, but only a jury to lo- cate the road. In reply the Commission- ers say that Mr. Lansburg with many others not only did not object but voluntarily assented to the use of his land for that pur- pose, and there was nothing, so far as he was concerned, to refer to the jury of seven. As the verdict of that jury was satisfactory to the ag parties concerned in its action, and by he District authorities, there was no occasion for a second jury.

Mrs, O'Neill to-day requested a rehearing of the case before the entire board,- but the applica- tion was denied on the grounds that the case had once been settled. BUILDING PERMITS were issued to-day as follows: L. C. Kengla, two brick dwellings, at 1520 and 1522 10th street northwest; #5,000. Thomas D. Lewis, one brick dwelling, at 611 Q street northwest; $3,500. B. Braxton, one frame dwelling. on 9th street ex- tended; #500. The following repair permite were also issued: F.

I think there are few business men who receive and attend to their mail Sunday morning. If the carriers’ window is to be open but once during the day, it is better, we thought, to open it toward the close of the day.” Mr, Toss said that under the old rule, when the window was open once in the morning and once in the evening, there were more applica- tions for letters in the evening than in the morning. ee Rano or Tae Toenwomerer.—The foll were the re: at the Signal Office to-day a.m., 59; 2 p.m., 72; maximum, 73; minimum, 52, DIED.
