Special dispatch to The Evening Star. Mempuis, Texy., Nov. 8.—There is every Prospect of a large democratic majority in west Tennessee. Reports received from veveral of the rural districts show that the negro vote will be light. In some districts up to 11 o'clock not single negro had voted. The poll tax and the necessaries of the Australian ballot system will keep them away. The cool and pleasant weather is drawing out the democrats in large numbers. It hard to toe populist at the polls and impossible to say where their strength will come from. Yes- terday the third party managers sent out a cir- cular to the effect that the democrats admitted Turney’s defeat for governor and would vote for Winsted in order to defeat Buchanan, the popu- list candidate. The circular has been received with «laugh. One of the most intelligent pop- | nlist in this county declares that Buchanan's | vote will not be over 10,000 in the state: th Weaver will not get over 5,000 votes, and that Patterson, democrat, will be easily elected to Congress in’ thiy trict. There is good reason to believ that Cleveland will have atleast 6.000 majority in this, Shelby county, and a house to house canvass in Davidson county, next to the largest in the state, gives him 6,000 plurality over rison. If there estimates prove true Cloveland’ majority in Tennessee is apt to reach 40,000. Heavy Repuplican and Small Independent Vote Indicated.

Curcaao, Nov. 8.—The anticipations raised by the heavy registration in this city have becn fully justified by the unprecedented vote cast up to noon today. The weather was clear and cold, and the pot ing booths opened promptly at 6 o'clock, as the law directs, but even before that hour there were knots of voters clustered around the voting places ready to deposit their votes. It is eafe to say that fully one-balf of the entire vote was cast, before 10 o'clock, and save fora few stragglin, lots judges tnd clerks had little to do after noon,” ‘the lar junction to vote early was generally obeyed.

Mixsrapotis, Mrxx., Nov. 8,—Everything is quiet aud 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 republi- cans are claiming that a large vote is in their favor, but it is too early to figure on results. DeLutH, Mrxx., Nov. 8.—The weather today is very bright and the indications are that a large republican vote will be polled. St. Pat, Mrxx.. Nov. &—Weather quite cold; snowing a little, with about two and one- half inches on groun ps Senator Osborne Arrested. Povouxeersie, N. Y., Nov. 8.—Senator E. B. Osborne offered his vote in this city today. It was challenged and he swore it in. He was soon after arrested for illegal voting and taken before United States Commissioner Hunter.

Nov. 8.—The weather is clear and the voting is light in Charleston and throughout the state. There is no excitement and no disturbances are reported anywhere. The result isa dead sure thing for the demo- cratic national and state tickets. The third party is not a factor in estimating the outcome. > Gen. Stevenson Votes. Broomixoton, Ixt., Nov. 8.—Gen.

He will receive election returns by means of messenger and telephone He refused au offer of a special wire tendered him by the Western Union Telegraph Company. eames ali ‘What Senator Quay Says. Prrtspvne, Pa., Nov. 8.—Senator Qauy re- turned from Philadelphia this morning on hit way to Beaver to vote. While at Union sta- tion he seid to a reporter: “I am informed thet President Harrison will be re-elected and that he will carry New York. The republican leaders are confident of this result. State Chairman Reeder tell me that Pennsylvania will give majority of 70,000 for Harrison. He is con dent of the legislature and does not anticipate a slump in any quarter.” eg Large Vote in Kentucky. Loursvitie, Ky., Nov. 8.—Election day opened clear and cool. A very large vote was polled. as A Decreased Vote in Maine. Porttaxp, Mz., Nov. 8.—The weather is fine and warm, but the vote will evident be smaller throughout the state than in September. Neither side is making any effort to bring ont the vote and few persons are around the polls. Bangor reports that the vote will be 25 per cent smaller than in September and about the same com- plexion. wiston and Auburn report a reduced vote and a larger percentage of republican than democrats voting. | The conclusion therefore is that the vote through- ont the state will be smaller than in September and the plurality will be as large or larger. slater Sesser A Big Vote in Rhode Island.

A big vote is being polled in this city and apparently thronghout the state, though it is being done generally very quietly. pes age ra Alabama's Colored Vote Republican, Bmaixowam, Ata., Nov. 8.—The election is passing off quietly here. A heavy negro vote is being polled and nearly all for the republican ticket, and not for the third party. The vote in Birmingham at noon stood {about five to one in favor of the democrats.

Up to noon the voting has been light, with « majority gathered about the polls, Voting is slow and indications are that many voters will not be able to reach the polls today. Reports from tho state are that the bad weather is gen- eral and that the result will be a falling off in the fusion vote. A few arreste—all negroes— have been made here for illegal voting.

Lawler, a young St. Paul lawyer, is standard bearer for the democrats; Ignatius Donnelly is the choice of the populists and the prohibitionists follow the lead of W. J. Dean of Hennepin county. The four state tickets are entirely distinct, ex- cept in candidates for the supreme bench. O constitutional amendments are up for consideration, one to probibit «pecial legisla- tion and the other to amend the law taxing railroad and other corporations. ‘The vote ou election will be compared, so far as possible, | with 1858, but that of the'state ticket, on ac- | count of the big alliance vote, will be com- pared with 1890. In 1888 Harrison carried the state by a_ plurality of 38,107. Two years ago Gov. Merriam, republican, was re-elected by a plurality of only 2,267, having a total of 88,111 votes to 85,044 for Wilson, democrat, and 68,613 for Owen, alliance. ol o. att, Nov. 8.—Ohio today will vote three presidential electors on the national ticket, also for twenty-one Repre-| sentatives in Congress.

Taylor, demo- crat, for secretary of state. There is no legis lature to be elected.

The second “demo- | cratic ticket” represents the Cleveland men, but | in the seventeenth istrict. "The result of the vote in Ohio will probably be known be- fore midnight. The republican majority on the state and national ticket will not be lors ;than 12,000 and the congressional delegation will probably stand fifteen republicans and six democrats, —— THE STATE ELECTIONS. | What Voters Throughout the Country Are Interested in Besides the Presidency.
