COLUMBUS, Oct. 15.-The Republican vic

to the Republicans by handsome majority,
and allow them working majority in the
House of Representatives but still claim to
have one or two majority in the Senate. The
committee decline to furnish figures as to ma
iorties. At the Republican committee rooms
kilograms are pouring in from all portions of
the state. The committee estimate Fosters
majority at 10000, with chances that the full
returns will rather increase than diminish
these figures. They claim 70 out Of ia mem
bers of the House of Representatives, which
is u more than is necessary to pass a bill. Up
to noon there was considerable doubt at the

majority of one, with prospect that full re-
turns will show two Republican majority.

COLUMBUS, Oct. 15.-Since noon returns re-
ceived by the Republican State Committee
show that in addition to the list of Senators

Sinks in the third district and Mounts in the
second district, but they admit the defeat of
Chambers in the fifteenth district. This gives
the Republicans % Senators and 81 Represen-
tatives, or Is majority on joint ballot.
The Democratic committee do not concede
as large majority as this, and it may take the
full official returns to decide. Returns which
have been coming in this evening are largely
from Democratic strongholds, which naturally
reduce Fosters majority. The chairman Of
the Republican State Committee says he is
satisfied Fosters majority will fall below 90
600,

notifying correspondents that Fosters major
ity will probably fall as low as 1000.
