OHIO.
Cincinnati. 1.-THE vote began yer,
early, and by l pm. the number of bal
lots in the boxes in many precincts ex
eeeded the totsl vote of last year. Bust
ness is practically suspended, and NJ
trouble up to tie present time. Tn,
polls are closely watched everywhere
Very little searching is done. Repu5
licans regard The heavy vote as in theil
favor.
The vote polIed to-day is 20 per cent
lsIg'r than ever polled before, The
militia, called out BY Mayor Jacobs IL
Anticipation Of trouble, were kept all day
in the srmory, and discharged when the
polls closed.
10 05 p.m.-Returns from twenty-nine
precints in Hamilton County show q net
democratic gain Of 49, This is nearly
one-third of the county and exhibits q
net democratic gain of 300 This would
still leave a republican majority for the
county of 2,400
Cincinnati, l3.-CCmplete returns from
Hamilton County give Townsend, Tepub-
lican, for secretary Of state, a majority of
2, 637; Mcllvaine, judge of the supreme
court, republican, 8, ZIG. Three precincts
to hear from gave democratic majority
ef 81 last year.
Comparing the vote On judge of the
supreme court with that of governor last
year, this would show democratic gain
in the county Of 737 Butterworth's,
REPUBLICAN,, majority in the First District
will be ] 200; Young, republican, Second
District, about the same.
Clinton County, republican majority Of
l,6lS, gain of 20.
Fay cite County, republican m -jority,
6S4 gain Of "A.
Columbus, o., 12.-Reports from all
over the state up to 3 O'Clock, say the
weather is fine and the full strength OF
the parti lie coming out. Republicans
now claim the gains are sufficient 10
carry this city, though the county will
undoubtedly 60 democratic. The vote
of employees Of manufacturing establish
ments is almost uniformly republican.
But little scratching. Falcons are closed
and there is no drunkenness. 1t is as
quiet an election as was ever known.
John q. Thompson says victory Is Ger
tain for the democracy If fair vote il
had. The better men Of both parties
who Lave not taken active interest in
politics for years appeared early at the
polls, and have shown sctive interest
ever since. There is no gr,enback or
prohibition vote worth mentioning in this
locality.
The candidates in this state are as
follows: For supreme court, q. ".
Mcllvaine, republican, III. d. Follitt,
democratic; for secretary of state, Charles
Townsend, republican, William Long,
democratic; clerk of the supreme court.
DIV ght Crowell, republican, 4. j.
Tanning, democratic; member Of the
public works commission, w X. Hosmtr,
republican, w. jackson, democratic;
school committee, Daniel f. DeWolf,
republican. j. j. Burns, democrat. The
green back vote will not be considered in
this comparison. There are 1859 pre-
cincts in the state. The frs. return was
heard from Green Camp Township,
Marion County, which gives McIlyaine,
III, Foilett l64, republican gain Of
eighteen.
Returns, although hitherto favorable
to republicans in most precincts, have
not been uniformly so, and it is notice
able that republican gains have been
chiefly in sections already republican,
and democratic gains have come chiefly
from democratic sections.
Returns from BIS townships, wards and
precincts in the state show q republican
gain Of /, 745. As these returns MIRAGE
polling places from almost every county
ia the state, they are taken as fOrecasting
an increased republican msjsrity, pro-
baby reaching $1,000.
Returns from 428 precincts, wards and
townships show a republican gain OF
2,230. Toe latest returns are more
favorable to democrats.
At republican headquarters claims are
now made that the majority in the state
will be considerably over 10000. At
democratic headquarters returns have
been received, which, up to this hour,
give democrats net gain of over 500 in
the state. At the latter place the COM
parison is made upon secretary OF state.
The present republican gains may
improbably be dissipated as returns
come in from remote counties, which are
generally democratic.
IL 80 D m.-From outside the city re-
turns continue to steadily increase the
republican gain, with the exception OF
those fiom Hamilton County. Just one
quar- er of the whole number Of precincts
and townships in the state are now in,
and the net republican gain 10 6,236. If
the proportion holds good, McIlvsine's
majority over FOllett, for supreme court
Judge, will be about $1,000. Although
republicans are sang uine of reaching that
figure, democrats have not given up
their claim of carrying the state, and 1t
seems likely that later returns will some
what diminish the heavy and unlocked
for gains which the republicans have been
making.
Chairman Mast, Of the re-
publican committee, says it is now likely
that the republican majority on the state
s.icket will insure the election of thir-
teen and probably fifteen republican
congressman.
I.SO a.m.-Chairnan Nash has just
received 8 telegram to the effect that
Rice, republican, is surely elected in the
Tenth District, a republican gain.
The democratic state committee refuse
all attempts at interviews by newspaper
correspondents, saying they know the
state has koSe republican, and that the
lepublicsns have swept every doubtful
congressional district, which is quite
enough for them to know.
Toledo, O., 1.-THE election in this
city brought out the full party siren 9Th.
The national and prohibition vote is in
significant. Complete returns indicste
that the republicans have carried the city,
and the chairman of the republican COM
mittee claims eco majority in Lucas
County, q republican gain of 793. The
district is probably republican by 500
majority.
Cleveland, o., Is Complete returns
from Cuyahoga County give Amos
Townsend, for Congress, majority Of
$3.50.
