COLUMBUS, October 1850 p. NJ.
The polls were closed all over the
state at p. NJ, 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, Rep,
for governor, 336,26l; Ewing, DEM,
319,132; Plat. Natl, 9072; Stew
art, Probst., 4l45; Fosters ma
jority over all. 1852, plurality
17.12S. This year the comparison
will be made with the figures for
Governor in 1879. The vote on Su-
preme Court judges is being used
for that purpose. The Greenback
vote viii not be considered in this
comparison. There are 1869 pre-
cincts in the state. and il is expected
that nearly thrce-tourths of them
will be heard from by l O'Clock to-
night. The first returns were from
Green Camp township. Marion
county, which gives McIIvaine Ia
and FOllett 164-a Republican gain
of Is.

but except in one instance the police
were able TO preserve order, and that
was in the eigth ward, where the
Republicans asked aid of the police
to give them an equal chance at the
polls. Two men assaulted Il police
man and tore his clothes. lie called
for help, and the men were arrested,
but the crowd overpowered the po-
lice and rescued the men. a further
reinforcement of the police was

quiet was restored.

publicans claim the election of the

six precincts in this state give a Re-
publican gain of +lS.
One hundred and three precincts
of this state show net Republican
gain of 642
9 r. M.-Returns are coming in
little earlier than usual and gains,
although hitherto favorable to Re
publicans in most precincts have not
been uniformly so, and il is notice
able that where there has been Il
Democratic increase it has usually
been very marked. 1t seems TO he
fact that the Republican gains
have been chiefly in sections already
Republican, and that the Democratic
gains have come chiefly from Demo-
cratic sections. On basis of figures
already received the Republicans
claim majority larger than that of
last year, but it is too carly TO make
any definite calculation
