where. The afternoon vote will be
larger than that of the forenoon. 1t is
impossible to say how it will result.
Both predominant parties are active
rallying voters, and the temperance
party is working theoretically.
Returns from forty-four townships
show net democratic gain of IS, and
total temperance vote of 257. At the
same rate, the total temperance vote
will be about 10000. Comparisons in
these returns are based on the election
of October, 1880, for secretary of state.
LATER.
One hundred and sixty-six wards and
precincts show a net democratic gain of
273; there are 1882 wards and pre-
cincts in the state; at this rate of voting
in the state, it would leave Foster a
majority of $4,000; the total vote of
Foster and Bookwalter in the 166 pre-
cincts is 43 ,292; temperance vote, $50.
LATEST.
Five hundred and forty-three wards
and precincts show net democratic
gain of l, 139, This ratio through the
entire state will give Foster over IA 900
plurality. The republicans claim three
or four doubtful members of the legis-
ature, and one, if not both branches of

was made at the soldiers home at Day.

The amount of scratching in this city
has been remarkable on the county

The temperance vote will reach To-

The republicans have doubtless
elected a majority of both branches
of the legislature, unless Hamilton
county should send democratic dele
CATION.
Very meagre returns have been re-
ceived from Cincinnati, but the indica-
tions are favorable for the republicans.
Cleveland shows a republican ma
jority of 400.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 11.-Returns have
been received from bead of ticket from
Hamilton county; and fifteen of the
nineteen precincts show net republi-
can gain of 245. From this it is esti-
mated that Foster will have majority
of 5000 in the county.
CINCINNATI, o., Oct. 12.-Republicans
claim that Foster is elected by from
10000 to Is, 600 majority in the state,
and claim majority in the house of
representatives. The democrats con-
cede Forter elected by 10000 majority,
and say the complexion of the state
general assembly is doubtful and de-
ponds entirely on the result in Hamil-
ton county. Cincinnati for many years
has been noted for the amount of
scratching done on both tickets, but
never in the history of elections were
the tickets ON both sides scratched as
much as they were yesterday. The
temperance vote in the state disap-
pointed the expectations of its friends
and opponents, by its smallness. The
vote in Hamilton county is so mixed
that at eleven O'Clock this forenoon the
figures could not be given.
COLUMBUS, Oct. 49, Returns came in
very slowly last evening, on account of
the almost unparalleled scratching of
tickets in this city. In some wards Fos-
ter was scratched and Bookwalter sub
stituted, and vice versa. There was not
a candidate on the state ticket but who
suffered in some wards. Private dis
patches to individuals bear uniform tes
timony to this fact. At late hour
last night the republican headquarters
were unable to say what the result
would be, except that the re-
publicans had carried the state.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 12.-Twenty five
counties and nineteen city precincts
give Foster 5000 majority. In the
local tickets the democrats probably
elect the treasurer, probate judge and
three of the five common pleas judges.
For the senate and house of represen-
tatives the race looks even. The re-
pubhcans seem to have Eve members
of the county board of control and one
county commissioner. Langworth, re-
publican, for supreme judge, leads his
ticket several hundred.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, Oct. 12.-Full re-
turns show Fosters majority in this
county to be 4,39S.
DEs MONIES, Oct. 1.-Returns come
in slowly, owing to the prevalence of

retuns from nineteen counties, which
show q falling off of % per cent. in the
totel vote. The three parties are about
equal in relation to loss. The returns
are mainly from scattering townships.
Only two counties are reported with
any general returns. One of them,
Webster, is reported as electipg Wright,
republican, to the legislature; the first
republican since 1869. Jasper reports
the whole republican ticket elected.
The legislature two years ago stood 81
republicans to 10 democrats, in the
house; and Al republicans to 8 demo-
crats, in the senate. Indications are
that the republicans lose two or three
members in the house this year, and
hold their own in the senate, with the
probability of gaining one or two. This
would give the republicans some nine
majority in the legislature. The repub
lican state committee estimates, at this
hour, the republican majority over the
democrats to be $4,000, and over all
parties $4,000. The greeubackers seem
to have held their own, contrary to ex-
