the State ticket but what suffered in some
way, Private dispatches to the political
headquarters and to the local press and in
diyiduals bear uniform testimony to this
fact. At u late hour the Republican head
quarters were unable to say what the re-
suit would be, except that the Repub'
licans had carried'th State 1t was ex'
tremely difficult to give anything reliable
or definite at noon to-day,
The smoke has now cleared away and
the Chairman Of the Republican State Cen
tral Committee claims Fosters majority to
be 1900, and the Chairman Of the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee comedies
that claim, The Republicans say they
certainly have control Of the House OF Rep
resen tatives without the aid OF Hamilton
county, and they hope to have control Of
the Senate.
Republican Representatives are elected
in the following Democratic counties /:
CIermont, Henry, Vinton and Wayne, also
in the following counties which We're con
sidered doubtful: Delaware, Erie, Hardin,
Knox, Madison, Muskingum, Portage, Ross,
sciota and one in Stark, Summit and Van
vert Tho other member from Stark
is in doubt. Anderson, (RepubliCan) for
Senate, is elected in Butler, Warren district,
by 100 or l5O majority.

The chairman Of the Democratic Central
Committee says the Legislature is in doubt
and that the result in Hamilton county
must decide it. lie claims n gain OF one
representative in the Republican county of
Jefferson and admits u loss Of one in the
Democratic county OF Henry and the elec-
ton OF Republican representative in the
Democratic county OF Knox.
The returns tonight indicate the election
Of twenty Republicans and thirteen Demo-
cratic Senators. Two districts included
above are still in doubt, one being claimed
by the Republicans and the other conceded
TO the Democrats
II is thought TINT the Republicans will
have from 30 to 40 majority In the House.
Should the official figures verify the above,
the Republicans will have larger majOrities
in both branches Of the General Assembly
than they had in the last body.
CiNCISNATi, October l2.-The Republi-
cans claim Foster elected by from l0,000tO
1000 in the State, and claim majority in
the House OF Representatives. The Demo-
Crats COnCede Foster 10000, and say the
complexion OF the State General Assembly
Is doubtful and will depend entirely on the
result in Hamilton county.
Cincinnati for many years has been noted
for the amount Of scratching done on both
tickets, but never in the history ofelectOns
were tickets on both sides scratched as much
as they were yesterday. The temperance
vote in the State disappointed the expGcta-
tiOns Of It's friends and opponents by its
smallness. The local ticket In Hamilton is
mixed. At eleven this forenoon the figures
could not be given.
In Hamilton county twenty-five county
and nineteen city precincts give Foster
5000 OF ajority. On the local ticket the
Democrats have probably elected the Treas
urer, Probate Judge and three Of the five
Common Pleas Judges, For the Senate and
House OF Representatives the race looks
even. The Republicans seem TO have five
members Of the County Board OF Control
and one Of the County Commissioners.
LongwOrth, Republican candidate for Su-
preme Judge, leads his ticket by about u
hundred
4 Fifty precincts in Hamilton county have
been heard from, and fifty remain to be
heard from. Fosters majority thus far is
500. The Republicans elect nine out OF
ten candidates on the, regular ticket and
lose one, Robert Harlan, the colored man,
in whose stead the Democrats elect Gen. A..
/ +. DevereauS.
The Republicans elect two State Senators
and lose one, namely, WalkerW. Yeatman,
while the Democrats probably elect George
Il. Gault, Senator. The Republicans elect
Conner md Maxwell Common Pleas
Judges and certainly lose Cox and Cross
, ley, while BuCkwalter Is doubtful. The
Democrats elect us Common Pleas Judges
certainly Avery and probably Mallan and
! johnson. The Democrats elect Isaac Is.
Watson Probate Judge.
Never, In ten years before, was there n
failure to have nearly all the returns Of
Hamilton county In By about o'clock In
the morning after the election. The Cause
, this time is the great prevalence Of scratch.
, ing tickets, causing u delay In counting
! There Is no news from the vote else
! where.
A feature OF the election consisted OF
II r,utt,u ttt DaAu11tHnt,
, and vice versa. This is attributed TO the
fact that in several Republican counties
. where the Temperatures sentlment was strong,
\ and where church influence made itself
particularly felt, the Republicans scratched
Foster on account Of the failure OF the
! Legislature last winter 10 give additional

I tempted to give this legislation, but could

! Fosters gain In the Democratic counties,
ofIsetting his loss in Republican counties,
Is attributable to Bookwalter's brief con
neCtiOn with the Democratic party. TO
