REMARKABLE REPUBLICAN, GAINS
Fosters Majority Esti-
mated at $4,000.
THE LEGISLATURE UNCERTAIN
Close Counties Declaring Against
the Democrats.

COLUMBUS Oct. IA. 1879.
All the returns which have been received from the
State up to this writing (haf-past eleven p. NJ are
of fragmentary descripsion. Not single county
has made returns which are full or even approxi-
mately So yet the drift OF the reports shows that
the republicans have carried the State by majority
ranging anywhere from fifteen TO twenty five thou
sand.
UNSATISFACTORY RETURNS.
The reports are mainly furnished by the Asso-
ciatcd Press agents and given by townships and
precincts. all parts of the State being huddled
gether SO that it Is impossible to systemize them
into tabular form. The most astonishing gains the
republicans have met with in Cleveland It
seems that they have carried the county Of Cuya-
hoga by from 1000 to 5000. Last year they had
majority Of 5.0O0
LARGE GAINS IN THE WESTERN RESERVE.
All through the northeastern part OF the State
the Western Reserve district-their gains are large,
often as much as fifty in single voting precinct.
THE UNKNOWN QUANTITY.
In few townships in these sections. where the
greenbackers have foothold. the democrats have
made gains The parts OF the State where the green
back element is strongest have not yet been heard
from. Only single ward in Toledo has reported,
and that shows gain Of sixty for Ewing
DISAPPOINTMENT FOR DEMOCRATS
The close counties on which the democrats relied
to hold their majority in the Legislature coming
In to their disappointment. Two of these Muskin-
gum and Morrow, have certainly gone republican,
and Hardin and Madison are in great doubt. though
they claim them confidently. Van Vert. another
close county, is believed to have gone democratic.
CINCINNATI ovKRwHELMINaLY REPUBLICAN.
Hamilton county. with the city of Cincinnati, ap-
pears to have gone republican by quito large ma
jority and it is probable that nine Representatives
and three Senators all elected by the republicans
REPUBLICAN, ESTIMATES
General J. s. Robinson. chairman Of the Repub-
lican State Committee, has just said to me:-"I
should think. from the way the returns come in,
that Foster has carried the State by 1000 majority
My impression is that we have carried both
branches of the Legislature. We have advices that
our Representatives have been elected in Scioto
Hardin and Washington counties. both Senator
and Representatives in Knox. Madison and
Delaware counties. and the Senator from
the Montgomery district. These, with Ham
ilton county. will give us both bra>chos OF the
Legislature.
General Charles H. Grosvenor said that Foster had
carried the state by 2s 900 majority.
Colonel Charles Moore. ono of the 'stalwarts" of
the Beatty detection ten years ago. is claiming the
State for Foster by 10000 majority.
THE LEGISLATURE IN DOUBT.
Mr.. Frank Mckinney. chairman Of the Democratic
Committee says looks If the State had gone re-
publican by quite large neutrality-suspicious. from
twelve to fifteen thousand. The Legislature is in
doubt still. but am not claiming ii confidently
IS did yesterday.
THE DEMOCRATS coScEDE THE STATE.
General Thomas L. Young. Of Cincinnati. has just
sent telegram from there announcing that the re-
pubcans have carried the entire ticket electing all
their members Of the Legislature.
