COLUMBUS. Oct. Is, 1879.
The republican victory seemed complete this
morning that it surprised the republicans and over
whelmed the democrats. At the democratic COM
mittee rooms there little figuring being
done. The committee said they had
news. They conceded the election of the
State ticket the republicans by decided majority
and allowed them q working majority in the House
of Representatives. but they still claim to have ono
or two majority in the Senate. Tho committee de-
clned to furnish figures to majorities.
THE LEGISLATURE.
At the republican committee rooms teiegrams
were pouring in from all parts Of the State. The
committee estimated Fosters majority at 10000.
with chances that full returns would rather in
crease than diminish these figures. They claimed
70 out Of the 100 members of the House of Repre-.
sentstives.
Since noon. however. tho fuller returns received
by the Republican State Committee show that the
republicans have twenty-three Senators and sixty
seven representatives. thirteen OF majority on
joint ballot. The democratic committee do not
concede large majority this. and it may take
full official returns to decide what the exact majority
In the Legislature will be.
BETTER NEWS FOR DEMOCRATS.
The returns which have been coming in this even
ing are largely from democratic strongholds, and
materially reduce Fosters majority: General Robin
son. chairman OF the Republican State Committee.
says he Is satisfied that Fosters majority will fall
below 10000. and the Republican Committee are now
