SO majority in both branches of the
general assembly. The republican COM
mittee concede Bishops election by
over 10000, but are IN doubt about the
assembly There is no basis for COM
putting the number of votes cast by the
two workingmen's parties, but it is sup
posed to be considerable, as
it is claimed they cast 10000
votes in Hamilton county alone.
1t will be noticed that democratic gains
come largely from republican strong
holds On. the Western Reserve In one
township near Oberlin, the democrats
gained 325 votes. The republican com
mittee, in giving reason for this falling
off in their votes, say it is caused by re-
publicans who abstained from voting,
they intending in this way to show Their
dissatisfaction with the PRESIDENT south
ern policy.

certainty tonight. The nationals have

their county ticket Cummings, treas

representative, on the republican ticket,
are probably elected,

voteof 1876.
COLUMBUS, Oct 1O-The republican
committee has received very little
news to-day and all political information
has to be obtained from the democratic
headquarters.
The democratic state committee, up
to this time, has what are called official
returns from just one-half the counties
in the state and these show net demo-
cratic gain, over the vote of last year,
of 1916. Taking this as a basis, they
claim that Bishops majority cannot
fall below $4,000, and they think the
full official count will give him $4,000
or 10000 majority. In the absence of
definite information, the republican
committee comedies Bishops election
Dv Ao,UUU majority.
The democratic committees figures
on the general assembly are as follows:
in the house the democrats will have 81
members; republicans, SO; and the ma
tionals or workingmen, 3; democratic
majority %. In the senate the demo-
Gratis will have 25 members, and the re-
publicans 10; democratic majority Is.
This will give the democrats Il majority
on joint ballot
1t is not likely that full official count
will materially change the legislative
majority; it is claimed not more than
two Or three at most. There is no ex-
element in the city tonight and no
crowds about the headquarters Of either
party.
