democratic gain of 81. There are 2,232
wards and precincts in the state, and at
this rate Bookwalter will gain in the
state less than 1000, which would leave
Foster majority of 10000.
Columbus, Oct. 11.-Gcorge X. Nash.
chairman Of :hc republican state central
committee declines to claim anything
vet, except TINT the republicans have
curried the state. He says the returns
have not come in sufficiently to justify
him in fixing the estimates of the ma
jority.
Clark Irvine, chairman Of the demo-
cratic state central committee, says the
indications now are that Fosters plural
ity will be about 5000, and that the COM
ple1ion of tho legislature will depend on
the result in Cincinnati and Hamilton
county.
Columbus 12-1:e0 a. m.-Five hum
dred and forty three wards and precincts
show net democratic gain of l,139.
This ratio throughout the state will
give Foster over $4,000 plurality. The
republicans claim three or four doubtful
members OF the legislature, and one if
not both branches of that body. A very
large republican gain was made at the
soldiers home, Dayton.
Five hundred and ninsty-four pre-
cincts show net democratic gain of 30l
indicating that Fosters plurality will
be about $1,000. The cities show repnb-
lican gains and the counties democratic
gains. The temperance vote will reach
about 5000 in the state. Very meagre
returns have been received from Cincin-
natl, but the indications are favorable
for the republicans.
Cleveland shows republican majority
OF 4,400.
Cincinnati, Oct. 12.-Thc republicans
claim that Foster is elected by 10000 to
$4,000 in the state, and claim majority
in the house of representatives. The
democrats concede Foster 10000 and say
the complexion of the state general as
sembly is doubtful and will depend en-
tircly ON the result in Hamilton
county.
Cincinnati for many years hns been
noted for the amount of scratching done
on both tickets, but never in the history
OF elections were tickets on both sides
fcratched as much us they were yestcr-
day. The Temperance vote in the state
disappointed the expectations of its
friends and opponents by its smallncss.
The local ticket i'll Hamilton county is
mixed. At II o'clock this morning the
figures cannot be given.
