REPUBLICAN VICTORY.

| 900 ON the Same Stdo-A SOLID
North andl n Republican Presi.
dent Assured.
The elections held yesterday in the
great State of Ohio and Iowa resulted
in overwhelming Republican victories,
and the complete rout of the Democra-
cy. In Ohio, the Hon Charles Foster
and the entire Republican State ticket
have a majority, which is estimated at
from rs, 900 to 10000 and the indica-
tions are, from the returns thus far re-
ceived. that the Legislature will con-
tain working Republican majority in
both branches, thus assuring the cleo
tion Of Republican United States Sena-
tor in place of Mr.. Thurman. The
Democracy lost heavily in all parts of
the State, and the Republican gains
were in about the same proportion.
The following are the dispatches
from Cincinnati, Columbus and Cleve-
land announcing tie result:
i COLUMBUS, o., October 15.-The
weather to-day throughout the State
was very fine, and the indications are
that the heaviest vote ever known in
the State has been polled. AT this
hour, 1.20 A. NJ, the Republicans
claim the Legislature upon the report
Of 1000 Republican majority in Cincin-
natl and Hamilton county. The Dem
ocrats do not concede this. Four hun
cred and forty precincts, wards and
townships give a net Republican gain
of 1928 over the vote for Secretary of
State in 1878.
COLUMBUS, Oct. 14-10 P. M.-Returns
from l60 precincts collected and report
ed by managers of the Western Union
Telegraph Company offices throughout
the State show net gain Of 2,73O for
Foster for Governor over the vote for
Secretary of the State in 1878. This
indicates a Republican victory in the
State from rs, 900 to 10000.
! CLEVELAND, Oct. 14-Midnight.-
Sixteen wards in the city Of Cleveland
give Foster 1851 majority. The city
and county give Foster about $500
majority. The Republicans probably
elect their entire county and Legisla-
tive ticket.
CINCINNATI, October l4--Midnight.-
The vote cast in this city and county
was probably the largestin its history.
Returns are coming in very slowly, not
one-ffth of the vote yet being known.
If the reported gains continue the Re-
publican majority in the county will be
about 5000.
The name Of Williams, the colored
candidate for the Legislature on the
Republican ticket, has been quite ex-
tensively scratched but it is not un-
likely that the whole Republican ticket
will be elected by majerities ranging
from 1000 to 5000. The constitution
al amendments were lost sight of en-
entirely.
CINCINNATI, October l4.-The "Com.
mercial" and Gazette" put Fosters
majority at rs, 900 to 10000. The "En-
quirer" comedies small majority, but
claims the Legislature for Democrats.
COLUMBUS, October l5-1.40 A. M
At this hour we have returns of the
vote for Governor from over one-fourth
of the State, which show Republican
gains of 1900, and indicate Republi-
can majority in the State of not less
than $4,000.
Definite returns OF the result on
members of the Legislature have not
been received, and the Legislature is
claimed by both parties, with the
chances in favor of the Republican par
ty.
COLUMBUS, October l5-2.l5 A. NJ
The Democratic State Committee con-
cede the election of Foster, but claim
the Legislature. The Chairman Of the
Republican Committee claims the cleo
tion of 90 out of 35 Senators, and 10 out
of ia Representatives.
In Hamilton County, which was re-
garded as the scene of the Legislative
fight, every inch of ground was stub
bornly contested by them. The Police,
under Democratic instructions, behaved
Sixty or so Republi-
cans were arrested during the day upon
frivolous pretexts, while Democratic
repeaters were treated with much con.
When the polls we're
closed, attempts were made in many
precincts to throw out authorized rep
of the Republicans, and fix
the returns to suit Democratic necessi- {
ties.
The indications, however, at mid
night, are that the Republicans have
carried their entire ticket, except, per
haps, the colored candidate for Repre-
sentative, who, on account of his char
acter, was not fully supported by the
press. $
At midnight the streets of Cincinnati
were thronged with people, cheering as d
the returns are announced by illumin-
ated bulletins. No such interest in a :
State election has been manifested for
years.. The change of $4,000 votes in Y
swo years is thought to be sufficient
,ause for Republican rejoicing. a
