~ =.
Foster, Republican, Elected Governor by q
can by From 20, 900 to 25 900 Majority.
COLUMBUS, Oct. 14-The chairman of
the Democratic executive committee
comedies the election of the entire State
ticket, but claims that sufficient returns
have not been received to determine the
complexion of the next legislature,
and thinks that later returns will show
large Democratic gains in several coun-
ties of the State. The chairman of the
Republican executive committee claims
tbe election of Foster by %, 900 majority,
and thinks that the Republicans will elect
q majority of the members Of the gener-
al assembly.
COLUMBUS, Oct. IT,, I 40 A.M.-At
this hour we have returns of the vote on
Governor from one-fourth of the State,
which shows Republican gains of 7,4OO,
and indicate Republican 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
Republicans.
COLUMBUS, o., Oct. 15.-Since noon
returns received by the Republican State
committee show that in ADDITION to the
list OF senators sent ut noon the Repub-
licans have elected Sinks In the third
district and Mounts in the second dis
trlct, but they met the defeat of Cham
bers in the fifteenth district. This
gives the Republicans % senators and
81 representatives, or 10 majority
on joint ballot. The Democratic com
mittee do not concede as large major
ity as this and it may take the full Of
fetal returns to decide what the exact
majority in the legislature will be.
The returns which have been coming
IN this evening are largely from Demo
cratic strongholds, which materially re-
duces Foster majority.
The Republican committee are now no.
tifying their correspondents that Foster
majority will fall as low as $1,000.
