tion Of Bishop by from 10000 to 5000
and also majority in both branches OF
the General Assembly. The Republican
Committee coneede Bishops election
by over 10, 600, but are in doubt about
the Assembly. There Is no basis for
computing the number of votes cast by
the two wOrkingmen's parties, but it Is
claimed that they cast 10000 votes 10
Hamilton county alone. 1t will be no.
ticed the Democratic gains coIne large
ly from the Republican stongholds on
the Western Reserve. In one town
snip near Oberlin the Democrats gain
s25. The Republican Committee in
giving a reason for this falling of in
their vote, say il is caused by Republi-
intending in this way to show their
dissatisfaction with the Presidents
Southern policy.

We have reports from 437 wards; town
ships and precincts in the State, which
show gains for Bishop Of 10, 25; gains
for West, 2,797; net Democratic gain,
Z 7,46S. At this ratio Bishops plurality
over West, in the State will be 5000
Nothing from Cincinnati, Cleaveland
or Toledo is included in this summary.
Nothing definite is known in regard to
the Legislature, which L. claimed conf
IDENTIFY by the Democrats.
CINCINNATI. o.. October 10.-12:45
A. M.-At this hour returns have been
received from but "a out Of 147 precints,
in this Hamilton county. These give
Bishop 2,350, West 2,034, Bond (work-
ingmsu) 1907. The Democrats have
probably elected their entire county
legislative ticket,
TOLEDO, October 9.-The returns
from both city and county come IN
slowly and the result cannot be stated
with certainty tonight. The Nationals
have carried the city and will elect part
of their county ticket. Cummings,
Treasurer; KOuntz, Recorder. and
Messer, Representative, on the Republi-
can ticket, will probably be elected
The Nationals will probably elect
Kellogg. The Republican Sheriff Is in
doubt, the chances favoring Linton,
National. The Democrats claim both
Senators from this district, but it is
probable that Steedman, Democrat,
and Lyttle, Republican, will be elcted.
Returns from q precints of the city
and Lucas county, received from Demo.
cratic sources give Bishop 2,349, and
West 1885, a Democratic gain of 947
over the vote of 1876.

243. The Democrats seem to have
elected the entire ticket with the ex-
ceptions of Hoffman and Frotz, wht
were scratched for reasons other thar
political.
The Gazette comedies D6th branche.
of the Legislature to the Democrats
and says that Bishops majority, In tn,
State, will not be less than 10000.
The Enquirer claims majority, OF
joint ballot, of 25, thus securing th'
election of Democratic Senator. Ii
this city the German Republican,
largely voted the WOrkingmen's tick
ct. The Workingmen claim that thsi
ticket will foot up II, 900 votes, though
it is not probable that it will greatl,
Iexceed the estimate in these dispatche
yesterday of 5000.
LUCAS COUNTY ELECTS THE NATIONAL
TICKET.
TOLEDO, Oct. 10-It is now conceded
that the Nationals have elected thei
entire ticket In Lucas county by ma
jority rang ing from 3U0 to 800. In thi
county their majority is upwards o
200 for Sturgeon and Kellogg. Th'
newly elected Representatives havr
hitherto acted with the Republicans
The result of the Senatorial ticket i
still in some doubt, but the indication
point to the election of both the Demo
cratic candidates. The county viii
give johnson, National, for Governor
500 to 1000 majority. The result is
surprise to all parties, and to non,
more than the Nationals themselves.
INDIFFERENCE AS TO THE RESULT.
COLUMBUS, Oct. 10-There Is scarce
i ly any excitement TO learn the definit,
4 figures of yesterdays election. Boil
committees cOncede that Bishops ma
ljority will be between Is, 600 and 25,
600. The Democratic committee CLAIM
that the Democrats will have between
80 and 40 of a joint ballot in the Gener
IL Assembly, and the Republican com
mittee dou't dispute this claim.
i CLEVELAND, Oct. 1.-The return
from this county, up to this hour, In.
dicate that the Democrats have elect
ed Senator, one Representative, Pros
ecuting Attorney and probably Treas

tn dntn ho ItlF1 n,
the Republican ticket was elected b.,
majorities of from 200 to 400.
The vote for Governor is as follows
West, 1875; Bishop, 10, ,4O1; Bond, th'
WOrkingmen's candidate, 1859; John
son, Greenback, 1859.
i COLUMBUS, Oct. I0-The Republican
4 Committee have received very little
news to-day, and sll political informa
ton has to be obtained from the Dem
ocratic headquarters. The Democrat,
State Committee up to this hour have
what are called official returns from
lust oue-half of the counties of tht
State, and these show a net Democrat
ic gain OF 6,576. Taking this as ba
sis, they claim that Bishops majority
can't fall below 25, 900, and they think
the official count will. give him 28,00(
or 10000 mnjority. In the absence o
definite information the Republican
committee concede Bishops election
by 25,0O0. The Democratic Commit
tees figures on the General Assembly
are as follows: In the House the Dem
ocrats will have 81 mem bers, Republi
cans 80 and Nationals or Workingmen
3-Democratic majority, %.
| In the Senate the Democrats will
have 25 members and the Republicans
10. a Democratic majority of Is. This
gives the Democrats Al majority on
joint ballot. 1t is not likely that the
full and official count will materially
change the Legislative majorities-il
is claimed not more than two or three
at the most. There Is no excitement
