pleasant all over the state, and the largest vote
ever polled was cast-probably nearly seven
hundred thousand. The returns have steadily
indicated Republican gains. At this hour
(midnight) the indications are that Fosters
majority for Governor is from $4,000 to 10000
and may reach 10000. which almost
necessarily implies Republican legislature,
insuring Republican Senator in place Of
Thurman. But only six out of 95 precincts
in Hamilton county have been heard from, in
all of which are good Republican gains. The
indications are that the legislative ticket from
Hamilton county is elected by nlaiorities of
nearly $500. In Cleveland the Republican
majority is about 5000, with full county tick
ct elected There are no returns from other
large cities yet in. At half-past ten the DEM
ocratic headquarters in Columbus were closed
up and the Democrats had gone home sick,
while the Republicans were wild with excite
ment
The election of Republican legislature in
sures a complete redemption Of the State from
Democratic rule and a restoration of congress-

ried the legislature Fosters majority is es-
timated from 20 to 80 thousand.

clear and pleasant, and undoubtedly there will
be large vote polled. Up to noon about the
liams, colored, a Republican candidate for
Representative, was scratched by many Re-
publicans. Lewis G.! Bernard, Democratic
candidate for Clerk of the Court of Common
Pleas, was served in the same manner by the
Democrats. Many hard money Democrats
scratched Ewing or voted the Republican
ticket. The Republicans claim gains in twelve
wards in Cincinnati.
