The police of the city have had an immemeriai iuabit of interfering in the elec- tious in bebalf of the republican ticket. They are standing far from, the polls today and show no disposition to do work for the candi- dates. Mr. McCreary, in an interview at 4 o'clock, felt confident that the returns tonight would show his election as city treasurer. ‘The politi- eal headquarters are deserted and will be until the polle close.

New Yonx, Nov. 3.—Late this afternoon, after all the vote had been cast, all factions agreed that it had been a very heavy one in| this city and in Brooklyn. At the headquarters the republicans made the more em- phatic claims of having gained the advantage, but these were based ebiefly on information of results in the interior of the state. These reports were undoubtedly favorable to Fassett. Coming as they did, however, from enthusiastic leaders in the up state districts, they were not acceptedas warranting strong belief im the success of the party. Of the vote in the city practically nothing, | of pasters and combinations of ballots was cer- tain, but how the irregular votes went no one conid tell. The Tammany men seemed quietly confident. Probably the County Democracy Vote was divided almost equally. Sheehan suffered severely in Brooklyn. The folded ballots were used with litte trouble, and the suecess of the new system was more completely demonstrated than last year. ‘The total number of arrests was about the same as usual for the same causes. FLOWER CLAIMED SY TEN THOUSAND. At 4:30 o'clock the best informed democrats declared their belie! that Flower would be elected by 10,000 piurality. Richard Croker refused to give figures, bat said Flower had wor. ‘The republicans satisfied themselves with loud assertions that Fassett was elected. The best imformation obtainable by your corre- spondent leads him to believe that Flower will be elected by a majority within 10,000. But it is & very uncertain election. There was no betting late in the afternoon. ee REPUBLICAN GAINS, Lieut. Gor. Joues of Fassett. Brsomaxtox, N. v. 3.—Lieut. Gov. Jones voted about 10 o'clock this morning. Ho voted for Fassett and it is believed that be | also voted the complete republican ticket. A large vote will be polled here. A slight repub- Hican gain is counted on. Loexgonr, N. ¥., Nov. 3.—By 2 o'clock today fully two-thirds of the vote in this city has been polied. The larger manufacturing establish- @ ments were closed today, giving employes time for voting, which ias progressed steadily, but without a rash. ‘Tnor, N. ¥..

Many of the mines in the Lacka- wanna county have suspended work for the GREAT INTEREST IN IOWA, Business Neglected and Streets Filled With Voters. ‘Special Dispatch to the Evening S: ‘ Dus Mores, Iowa, Nov. 3.—Election in Progress in Iowa is one of the most hotly con- tested fights ever made in thestate. The total vote will undoubtedly exeed total vote for President in 1839. Both partios are hopeful, and at this early date it is impossible to make any definite predictions as to the outcome. Telegrams received at the state headquarters of the respective committees indicate that both parties are making very Jarge gains in the cities. The question is what party is making greatest gains. Tho weather is raw. and threatening, with light rain reported from the southwestern part of the state. This may affect the vote, if anything increasing the farmers’ vote: farmers in many places not being disposed to leave their cornfields in fair westher. The dispatches received show that Farmers’ Alli- ance vote will not be large, excceding by little, if any, the vote usually cast for greenback and union labor tickets unless there are devel- opmonts in back districts that have not yet been heard from ths alliznce vote would not complicate returns. It is conceded that the smaller the Farmers’ Alliance vote the better the chance for republican success. The prohibition party yote will be tho smal! est in the history of the stnte. ‘The election in Des Moines has absorbed public attention. There is nothing going on except steady voting. The streets aro in a semi-crowded condition and the returns tonight will cause great excite- ment. Meanwhile both republicans and demo- erate are claiming the victory. Late News From Iowa.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. Battironx, Nov. Within an hour a half the closing of the are still favorable lection of the entire demotratic ticket. Of course the Australian ballot system makes it much more difficult to give any actual esti- mates, as could always be done under the old system, but a pretty safe forecast can be made from the manner and progress of the voting in the various precincts. The independents are not as hopeful as they were since they have watched the progress of the voting, and are vigorously accusing the democratic managers of fraud. KERR'S POSSIBLE MAJORITY. There is practically no doubt now that Kerr, the democratic candidate for state's attorney, wil! ran along well with his ticket, and possibly clared that he would be defeated now concede him 2,000 majority. and his friends are claim- mg from 6,000 to 8,000. The reaction which has set in in his favor has been as strong as it was sudden and he ‘is re- ceiving a large vote from all classes of repub- licans Information brought this afternoon to Hon. Harry Welles Rusk, chairman of the democratic city executive committee, at headquarters, was that in Northeast Baltimore many colored men were voting for Latrobe and Kerr and that in East Baltimore many republicans were split- ting their tickets. STAY-AT-HOME REPUBLICANS. ‘The stay-at-home republican vote is very large. Some democrats aro cutting Kerr, but these defections will be more than offset by republican accessions. There have been no arrests and not the slightest disturbance of the peace allday. It has been the most quict and orderly election in Baltimore for a great many years. Itis the first time the Australian ballot sys- tem has been in operation here in a local elec- tion, last year being only a congressional elec- Yion. There are 10.111 voters in the city who are not registered this yenr. Binee 1889 there has only been an increase of 429 in the number of names on the register. The increase in the white vote has becn 426 and in the colored 3. A FALLING OFF IX THE Vor. It appears from the figures obtained today that there has been a slight falling off in the vote and that the total will be rather less than in 1889, although tho later afternoon vote may possibly change this. The light vote is at- tributed by the democrats to the republican “‘stay-at-homes.”” The democrats are making vigorous efforts to defeat Cummings, the colored city council- man, for re-election from the eleventh ward, with indicationsof success. It is a negro ward, but the democrats have a majority there by the last registration. Some of Cummings’ colored rivals are also opposing him. a GAINS FOR RUSSELL. Encouraging News to Massachusetts Demo- crate. ‘Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. . , Nov. 3.—*As Hull goes so goes th state,” was once s fact; in recent years, how- ever, Hull has been going democratic. Whether that party's ticket was successful or not Hull's ‘vote this year shows u gain for Allen over the vote of 1890, but a decided loss from the vote of 1869.

Respectable Voters in Chicago Pleased With Ballot Reform. | Csrcaao, Nov. 3.—The weathor is cloudy, but not threatening, hero today. A favorable day for a full vote, and considerable interest is being manifested in the election, although only local issues are involved. Cook county today elects two superior judgos, a county superin- tendent of schoola, eight county commissioners and two trustees of tho sanitary or drainage district of Chicago. The proposition to refund 1,850,000 county bonds, maturing May 1, 1892, is also being voted upon. It is the first election in this city under the ballot-reform law enacted by the last legisia- ture, but up to this hour respectable voters are expressing much satisfaction with the new law. The “blanket ballot” system was the one adopted by the legislature and aan official bai- lot containing in separate columns the nomi- nees of all parties is furnished by the judges. The ticket peddler has, therefore, lost his vocation and party henchmen are not allowed to loiter within 100 feet of the polls, Four tickets are in the field, the republican, the democratic, prohibition and people's trade and labor. A large vote is being cast, but there is no data upon which to predict the re- sult of the election. It is quite likely the vie-~ tory will not be decisive as to either party, the vote being generally scattered and party lines not tightly drawn, ac ae SOUTH DAKOTA. So Many Engaged in Threshing Wheat That the Vote is Light. Sr. Pav, Mixx., Noy. 8.—Chiefly on account of the large number of mon engaged in throsh- ing wheat in South Dakota the vote in that state is light. A great deal of “pairing” has been done by these men, and it is doubtful whether that fact will affect the goneral result. County commissioners are being voted for, be- sides Congrcssman to fill the vacancy caused by the death of James R. Gamble. The weather, so far as reported, is fair, although the rocent snows in parts of the state will not be without aneffect. Both republicans and independents claim to be getting most votes, bu: the vote seems most favorable to the former. —— DAKOTA. Threshing of Wheat May Le Delayed Until Spring. Gnaxp Fons, N. D., Nov. 9.—It commenced snowing about noon yesterday and snowed all the afternoon. It is drifting badly. Many of the men brought up here from Minnesota and Wisconsin to help threshing are leaving be- cause of cold weather, and as a large portion of the grain is still unthreehed it is doubtful if farmers can finish threshing before spring.
