cool and reports show an average 'offyear"
vote is being polled. Everything in the
city is very quiet and a large amount ot
scratching reported.
Noon The great bulk of the vote in this
city seems to have been polled before 10
o'clock. Politicians are all at sea as to the
result as the "vest pocket vote" is larger
than ever before .known. Indications at
this hour are that the vote will be light
and that the labor Democratic state ticket
will run considei ably behind.

Cincinnati November 5. Election day
is blessed with unusually fine weather
clear and bright with just enough chiliness
in the temperature to make the air bracing.
In this city and county the polls closed at
4 p. m. However a very large vote was
cast in the morning beginning at 6 o'clock.
In all the precincts heard from at 10 a. m.
fully two-thirds of the entire registered
vote had been cast. Voting so far hug
been entirely free from any sort of disorder.
unuer me election law no crowning aoout
the polls is permitted and the old habit of (m
gathering in large numbers about the poll-
ing places is entirely broken up. The in
dication now is that a full vote will be cast
in Ciucinuatti.
Columbus November 5. Indications up
to noon are that a heavy vote will be
polled. F.praker is being scratched but not
to the extent anticipate! by the Democrats.
There is little scratching on the legislative
tickets.
Cleveland November 5. The Re-
publicans are encourgaged this morning by
reports from the weather in northern Ohio.
At Republican headquarters-it was esti
mated mat tne absence oi rain meant iroiii
25000 to 30000 Republican votes on the
western reserve. At the office of the board
of elections it was estimated from early
morning reports that about 32.000 votes
would be cast in the city with nearly a full
vote in the townships. About one-third of
the city's vote had been cast at 10 o'clock.
There was no excitement and not much
scratching.
Columbus. Novembers. The election im
Columbus was one of the quietest ever ex
perienced. The monotony was scarcely
varied by an incident worthy of note. The
Republicans are lcariul ot tne result.
Tollev has been keot on the heae of the
ticket in one nrecinet of the sixth ward
ana it snows tnat twenty nepuuiwuus
scratched Foraker and the Republican vote
is about. UK) short. Should other precincts
of the city show anything like this falling
off and strong work against the head ot the
ticket the Renub lean defeat can oe Hom
ing but overwhelming.
Cincinnati. November 5. The hrst news
from Ohio tnniirht is enrht pri ci lets. Fora-
ker 1445; Campbell 077; He.w g 87. Same
precincts in 18S7 gave Foraker 1340; Pow-
ell 749; Seitz 182. This shows an increased
vote and train for Campbell of . 123. The
plurality for Foraker in 1887 was 23329.

At o-M the (minion is general that Hani-

Columbus. November 5. Forty precincts
heard from show net Democratic gain. For-
akcr's majority two years ago was 23000.
This indicates the result will be close and
the probability is Foraker is defeated. The
balance of the Republican ticket is proba-
bly elected.
One hundred and one of 107 precincts in
Cincinnati erive Campbell a plurality of 2610.
This indicates in the city and county a ma
jority for Campbell of 4800 which will be
a jjemocrutic gam ' naiuinvn uuiv
11000. This would leave a little over 12u00
in ot her portions of the state to be overcome
by Uampbeii.

their forces at the polls early but while the

The fact was developed today that while

Chicaho November 5. A Democratic
victory was the result of the election here
today. The returns at 11 p. m. were suffi-
ciently complete to show that the Demo-

about three miles south of Brownwood In
which the rear chair cars were thrown
from the track and rolled down a fifteen
foot embankment and thirty to forty pas
sengers more or less injured some fatally.
The wreck was caused by a broken rail.
When the two rear coaches struek it they
left the track turning over and breaking
loose from the train rolled down the em
bankment. Conductor Hough at once
stopped the train and when the other pas
sengers went back a terrible sight was wit
nessed. The two coaches were lving bot-
tom upwards and men women and chil
dren were screaming for help. The windows
had to be broken open to rescue the pas
sengers who were piled together and the
chairs lying on top oi them. One of the
coaches caught fire three times but
was promptly extinguished. After the
iiassengers were all rescued the train
backed up to Brownwood where two of the
wounded were lett. The Lain then came

left. The train then proceeded ' to this

eded to the government of the United
States except it be done by a change in tho
constitution of the Cherokee uiition. Ho
hulds the constitution forbids the sale of
lands to any one for any reason and quotes
that section of the constitution and com
ments on it at length. He accuses the gov
ernment of dealing unfairly with the Indi
ans who had been promised that they
should hold their present lands when they
were removed Here .
"As long as the grass should grow
And the rivers should tlow."
He reviews thodilfercnt treaties made be
tween the Indiii8und the government and
states his belief thut the government has
no right to force the Indians to sell the
lands. A change in the constitution can
bo made only
nly by submitting the question
to a vote of the nation and that will have
to be done by the council's authorizing
Chief Mux es to so submit it.
Interviews with members of the council
on the question of the sale of the strip
show thut a majority of those now on the
grounds tre opposud to the sale.
