THE ELECTIONS.
Ohio.
CINCINNATI, October 15.-Reports from al
the precincts of Hamilton county, except 10
give Foster $500 majority; Hicklenlooper,
3,476 majority; Oglevee (rep.) for Auditor,
1850 majority. The Republican majority on
the State Senatorial ticket ranges from 8, 52a
to 1858, and on the Representative ticket,
from 1,419 to 3.7S5. George w. Williams
(colored), Republican candidate for the Leg
islature, received the lowest Republican vote,
which is.902 more than the highest Democrat
received. AS for the State at large, the esti-
mates of Fosters majority at this hour e q.
n.y. vary from $1,000 to 10000. 1t is very
generally conceded that the Republicans will
have a clear majority in joint session of the
Legislature, and the indications are that later
returns will give them majority in each
house.
The Enquirer says the result is not due to
the currency question but to sectionalism, to
the skull and cross-bones, and to bloody shirt
ism.
The Gazette says: The people were
aroused at the threats of the Southern lead
ers and resolved to rebuke them. The defeat
of the Democrats is also due in great meas
u-e to the fiat money heretics, who sought to
unscttle the finances and launch the country
again upon sea of irredeemable and huctu-
ating paper money.
The Times has the following table of ma
jorities on the Republican ticket in Hamilton
county, returns from all the precincts having
been received: For Governor, Charles Fos-
ter, $3.50; Lieut.. Governor, Andrew Heck
enlooper, 3,170; Auditor of State, John F.
Oglevee 2,272; State Treasurer, Joseph
Turny, 3,091 Judge Supreme Court, w. W.
Johnson, 3,129; Attorney General, George
KNAPP, 3,2O1. Total vote cast, taking the vote
for Governor as basis, 53,88
COLUMBUS October 15.-The Legislature
is claimed by both parties, with the chances
largely in favor of the Republicans. The
Republican victory is so complete that it sur
prises the Republicans and overwhelms the
Democrats.
returns received by the Republican State
Committee show that in addition to the list of
Senators sent at noon, the Republicans have |
elected Sinks in the Sd district and Mounts in |
the I'd, but they admit the defeat of Cham
bers in the 18th. This gives the Republicans |
% Senators and 81 Representatives, or 13 ma |
jority on Joint ballot. The Democratic COM
mittee do not concede as large a ajority as
this, and it may take full official returns to |
decide what the exact majority in the Legis-
lature will be.
The returns which have been coming in
this evening are largely from Democratic
strongholds, which materially reduces Fos-
ter's majority. Gen. Robinson, chairman of
the Republican State Central Committee says
he is satisfied that Fosters msjority will fall
below 100000
COLUMBUS, October 15.-The Republican
Committee are now notifying their cores
pondents that Fosters majority will probably
fall as low as 1900.
TOLEDO, October 15.-Lucas county, off,
,ial, gives Ewing SO majority over Foster, a
\ gain on the vote of 1878 of 1858. WAL
bridge, Republican Senator, has 1851 ma
ority. Returns from the various counties in
his Congressional district now indicate the
election of Wilkin (Dem.) by 100 to 200 ma
ority. The Republicans elect both Repre-
entatives from Lucas county by 9S1 maj.
COLUMBUS, October 16.-No news of i'm
,orfonco hoo haon rocaivp6 this morning hv Y

ublican candidate for Senator in the Toledo
