What They Say Regarding To-day's
State Elections.
HEAYY YOTE IN PENNSYLVANIA !
Belief That It Will bo Unprecedented for an
"Off Year" Governor McKlnley Thinks
Republicans Will Have Sixty Thou
sand Plurality In Ohio.
Philadelphia, Nor. 5. Reports thus
fur received from different sections of tho
state show that an unusually largo voto Is
being polled In this state for an "off year."
Whllo no approxlniato Idea can yet bo
given of tho total voto, It Is ovidont that
tho number who aro today depositing their
ballots will largely exceed that of any
other year when tho principal ofllco voted
for Is a state treasurer. Both Republican
and Democratic workers aro straining
ovory nervo to get out tho largest posslblo
voto, tho Republicans In tho most popu
li us centers being especially active, whllo
oven in tho sparsely settled districts thcro
is an unprecedented outpouring of frco
mcn. Tho claims of Republican mana
gers that their voto will bo near that of
last year, however, will not bo justified by
tho count. From tho voting thus far It Is
evident that most of tho independent Voto
Is being divided between tho two leading
parties, tho Prohibitionists, Populists and
Socialist-Labor candidates being vory
poorly supported.
ainrylnml'H Hottest Fight.
Bai.timouk, Nov. 15. Tho morning of
Maryland's most critical political battlo
finds tho issuo enshrouded in doubt. Tho
generals upon both sides are claiming vic
tory, but tho tones in which they mnku
their boasts and tho figures thoy cito as a
basis for their alleged belief do not carry
conviction to tho mind of an unprejudiced
onlooker. Tho fact is that everybody is at
sea, becauso in tho present contest tho
silent voter Is a greater factor than ho has
over been in tho history of Maryland poli
tics. Tho flerco and persistent attacks
upon Senator Gorman, and the outcry
against what his opponents torm "Gor
manism," has undoubtedly influenced
many who haro horetoforo voted tho Dem
ocratic ticket, and will Induce them to
voto against Hurst, who is known as Mr
Gorman's candidate Upon tho other
hand the very blttorness of tho attack has
brought Mr. Gorman's friends closer to
him than over baforo, and thoy will get
out every voto at their command. Thon,
too, tho color lino lias been drawn for all
It is worth, and every known dovlco has
been taken advantage of to lead tho voters
of Maryland to believe that Republican
victory means negro supremacy. With
such argumouts as theso as tho solo issues
in tho campaign it would bo idlo to pre
dict u result, ami all that can bo said of it
is that it looks llko anybody's victory.
McKinley's Prediction Tor Ohio.
Cincinnati, Nov. 5. In Ohio tho Ro
publicans havo had phenomenal plural
ities for two years, and claim now a bet
ter organization than over before. It is
Conceded that tho Republicans can con
trol ttio legislature without Hamilton
county, In which Cincinnati is located,
but that tho Democrats must havo tho
fourteen members from Hamilton county
in order to get a legislative majority. As
ox-Governor Forakcr, who lives hero, Is a
candldato for Brlco's place, great Interest
Is taken In tho result In Hamilton county.
Tho Prohibitionists claim tho usual voto.
General Coxoy estimates -10,000 votes for
himself as tho Populist candldato for gov
ernor. It is not bolloved that either tho
third or tho fourth party will affect tho
contest between General Bushnell and
Governor Campboll. A Masslllon dis
patch says: Govornor McKiuloy remarked
this morning that tho stato ticket ought
to go through with no less than 00,000 plu
rality. "Last year tho Republicans car
ried tho stato by 137,037," said ho, "but tho
voto was about 00,000 short. Now, figur
ing llborally, I don't seo how Mr. Camp
boll can possibly get moro tluin BOo.OOO
votes this year. Last year his party polled
only 270,903 voto3, whllo tho Republicans
polled 413,930 votes, so that If wo only hold
our own wo will retain a comfortable
margin."

Des Moines, Nov. C Chairman MoMll

morning: "Wo have mado a good fight,
and I think wo will havo a plurality of
40,000 and upwards. Wo will also elect
probably 100 out of tho 150 mombors of tho
general assembly, making sure of Senator
Allison's ro-clectlon." Chairman Walsh,
of tho Domocratlo commlttco, said that ho
was satisfied thoy could cut down tho Re
publican plurality, and that with duo ef
fort on tho part of Democrats thoy would
defeat General Drako by a small plurality.
Tho Populists aro claiming from 40,000 to
60,000 votes, which is a large gain. Tho
Prohibitionists aro also expecting alargcly
increased voto, Tho prospects aro for a
largo voto being polled.

TO DAY'S ELECTION IN lOHfN
Everything Progressing- Quietly
and
Smoothly at All the Polls.
LIGHT YOTE THIS MORNING !
As All tho Collieries Are Working There
Will be a Grand Rush at the Polls
During the Closing Hours The
Moon Vote.
If tho voto at tho close of tho polls falls
short it will not bo duo to tho weather. The
politicians who hoped for a clear day got
what they wanted and people who do not go
to the polls cannot say the bad weather kept
them away. A more favorable day could not
be wished for.
Tho polling of votes this morning was very
light in all tho wards,, but tho workers at tho
polls were by 110 moans despondent. They
accounted for it by saying that tho people are
working steady and aro not inclined to lose
any timo for an election, or anything else.
They predicted a grand rush after live o'clock.
Of course, under the present ballot system,
it is impossible to say how the election will
result. Only opinions can be taken as guides,
and to accept, them and build upon them
would lead one to the conclusion that both
tickets will be elected. Both sides are confi
dent, notwithstanding reports of cutting of
the respective tickets, and tho Itepublicans
of town were more confident to-day than they
havo been at any time during the campaign.
County Chairman Payne spent somo timo in
town this morning visiting tho several polls
and appeared quite satisfied with tho progress
of work for the Republican ticket. On the
other hand tho Democratic workers, to a
man, claim they will take everything in
sight. Shiny conservative people believe they
aro too confident.
The noon reports showed that the voto con
tinued slow up to that hour. At all points
the explanation was that the collieries were
working full time. Tho volos polled up to
the noon hour in tho respective wards
numbered: First waid, 18S; Second, 04;
Third, 157; Fourth, 105; Fifth, M). Tho
greatest falling oil" was shown in tho Tlilid
and Fifth wards Uist fall the noon report
was as follows : First ward, 10(1 ; Second, 111 ;
I'lurd, 200; Fourth, 110; Fifth, 135. By
comparison of tho figures it will bo seen that
the Firbt ward was but 8 votes behind
its noon record and the Fourth only
5. The Second needed 17 more votes
to toe the mark of last year, while
the Third ward was 43 behind and the Fifth
4U. It is evident that an attempt to poll tho
full voto before the closing hour in the Third
and Fifth wards will create a scramble, and
unless the men get to tho polls soon after tho
collieries stop working a number of people
may fail to get into tho booths in time.
The opinion was expressed this afternoon
that tho total voto of tho borough would fall
considerably behind that of last fall. Such
being tho lase a question arises as to which
party will be benefitted. Tho Republicans
incline to the belief that they will, as tho
Democrats have placed great dependence on
a full vote in all quarters, the Third ward
being no exception.
Facli poll is well manned by both parties
and it is not the fault of the workers that tho
voters were not reached earlier. Tho men
wanted were out of reach in tho mines.
Democrats who heard of tho light vot in
tho Fifth ward expressed surprise, but did
not appear worried. Some of them said the
voto would lie brought up pretty well to tho
mark before night and the full vote for their
ticket in other quarters would more than
counterbalance any shortage in tho Fifth.
Ono or two people who spent some timo at
tho different polls during the curly part of
tho day stated that they did not think there
was near tho amount of cutting going on
among tho Republicans as tho Democratic
leadors expected, and that tho Democrats
themselves seemed to bo using the knife
pretty freely. Tho latter part of the asser
tion was heard in several quarters. ,
Tho election has been unusually free from
any disturbances. During the morning
hours tliero was a tongue match in tho Fifth,
but it amounted to nothing. Tho First ward
was nothing like its former solf. One rami
who spent all tho morning and part of tho
afternoon at the lattor poll said ho did not
hear an angry word.

The local teachers' institute couvuned last
evening in tho High school building, Super
intendent M. P. Whitaker presiding.
A discussion of tho subject, "Should
children under twelvo years of ago bo re
quired to do school work at home," was
opened by Miss Ella Clausor with a most
excellent article condemning tho practice
when carried to any extent. Miss Lambert
followed witli a paper advocating homo study
in tho earlier years of a child's education,
but this must not bo carried too far. Miss.
Hannah Morrison and Miss Breiinan followed
witli remarks in tho same strain, advocating
a limited amomit of school work to be dono
at home.
Supt.Whitaker. then mado some sxccllent
remarks, taking tho view that children
ought not to bo given much work u bo done,
at homo under tho ago of twelvo years.
High school scholars and second grado
grammar should do considerable of thcir
work at home. Rut littlo is accomplished by
giving first and second grado children work
to do at home.
All pupils not vaccinated a yet must bo
suspended from school until properly vac
cinated. Miss Uattlo Hess read an excellent articlo
from tho Pennsylvania School Journal, "Tho
