The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1880-10-13


We present 10 our readers this morning
such teIegraphic reports OF the election in
Indiana and Ohio yesterday as we bad re-
ceived up to $40 O'Clock this morning, ths
hour OF going TO press. The indications are
not as favorable as had been anticipated-at
least such Is the conclusion reached from
our specials. Great interest was mani
tested In the election. The newspaper
and telegraph offices were besieged
by anxious inquirers until long past
midnight, when the meagre and unsat-
isiactory returns drove them home. The
result seems to be that Ohio has gone Re-
publican and gains three Republican con-
gressmen. The returns from Indiana indi-
cate a very close vote, the State being
claimed by both parties. IL the Democrats
have won the day, the majority seems not
10 exceed five thousand; but they appear
to have gained two congressman. We, how
ever, leave our readers TO draw their own
conclusions from the dispatches received
from various sources.
OHIO.
COLUMBUS, October 1860 Il. M.-The
polls closed all over the State ut G O'Clock,
and all advices and indications at this hour
are that one of the heaviest votes has been
polled in the history Of the State. In 1879
The total vote was Foster Republican,, for
Governor, 336,261; Ewing Democrat),
319,132; Piatt tNationaD, 9,072; Stewart
Prohibition). 4,145. Fosters majority
over all, 1902; plurality. 1929. This year
the comparison will be made with the
figures for Governor in 1879, the vote OF the
Supreme Court judge being used for that
purpose. The Greenback vote will not be
considered in this comparison. There are
/ 500 precincts in the State, and it is eX-
pected that nearly three fourtbs OF them
will be heard from by O'Clock tonight.
The first return was from Green Camp
township, Marion county, which gives Nc
Ilwaiue III; Follett, lea Republican
gain of IS.
[SecOnd DiSpatch.]
COLUMBUS, October 12.-The Republicans
claim the election OF the entire county
ticket in Cincinnati by $500 majority and
both congressman; also the State. The
Democrats concede it by $500.
Third DiSpatch.]
CINCINNATI, October 1.-THE report that
Governor Foster has ordered the militia TO
take charge OF the polls in Hamilton county
is based on the fact that Mayor Jacobs called
on the commander Of the militia to bold his
troops i'm readiness in case of riot. This
has been done, and the troops are assem-
bling I'm the armory. The Governor has had
nothing TO do with 1t.
Fourth DiSpatch.l
CINCINNATI, October 12.-J he vote polled
to-day is 20 per cent. larger than ever po!led
before. In the afternoon a number OF
slight disturbances took place at the polls,
but except in one instance the police were
able to preserve order. That was in the
Eighth ward, where the Republicans asked
the aid OF the police to give them equal
chances. At the polls two men assaulted a
policeman and tore his clothes. lie called
for help, and the men were arrested, but
the crowd overpowered the police and res
cued the men. Further reinforcementS oil
police were called, but by the time they ar
lived quiet was restored.
Fifth DiSpatch.l
COLUMBUS, October 12.-One hundred
and fifty-nine townships give net Repub-
lican gain Of 1925.
[Si1th DiSpatch.l
COLUMBUS, October 12-9 Il. M.-Returns
are coming in little earlier than usual, and
the gains, although hitherto favorable to Re-
pubicans in most precincts, have not been
uniformly so, and 1t is noticeable that where
there has been Democratic increase 1t has
usually been very marked. 1t seems to be
fact that the Republican gains have been
chiefly in sections already Republican, and
that the Democratic gains have come chiefly
from Democratic sections. On the basis oil
the figures already received the Republicans
claim a majority larger than that OF last
wear, but il is too early to make any definite
estimate.
$40 Z. M.-Returns from four precincts
OF Hamilton county show net Democratic
gain OF 30.
[Seuenth DiSpdtch.]
COLUMBUS, October II. AT Republican
headquarters claims are now MADE mat
their majority in the State will be consid-
erably over 10000.
At Democratic headquarters returns have
been received which up to this hour give
the Democrats net gain OF over 500 in the
State. At the latter place the comparison
ia made upon the vote for Secretary OF
State. At present the Republican gains
NAV not improbably be dissipated as re-
turns come in from remote counties which
are generally Democratic.
[EighM DiSpdtch.]
CINCINNATI, October 12.-Returns from
twenty nine precincts in Hamilton county
show net Democratic gain OF 467. This is
nearly one third OF the county, ana lndi-
Gates net Democratic gain OF 1900. Thls
would still leave a Republican majority IN
the county Of 2,400.
Ninth Dispatch.l
COLUMBUS, October 12-11:30 Il. M.-Re-
turns from the city are very slow in coming
in. No definite figures can be given owing TO
the redistricting. From outside the city
the returns continue 10 steadily increase the
Republican gains, with the exception OF
those from Hamilton county, where, as
shown by all the returns received up TO the
present time, there was gain for the Demo
Gratis in nearly every precinct. This does
not seem 10 tally with the earlier reports OF
Hamilton county having given an increased
Republican majority.
Just one quarter OF the whole number OF
precincts and townships in the State are now
in. The Republican gain is 1864. III the
proportion holds good the Republican gain
in the State will be nearly 10000, and Nell
waine's majority over Follett for Supreme
Court Judge will be about q 900. Although
the Republicans are sangune OF reaching
that figure, the Democrats have not given
up their claim Of carrying the State, and 1t
now seems likely that later returns will
somewhat diminish the heavy and unlocked
for gains which the Republicans have been
making.
