Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1881-10-14
OHIO ELECTION.

COLUMBUS, Oct. 1.-THE election is
going on very quietly. The vote will
not be more than seven-eights as large
as that Of year ago. The prohibition
vote will be light. The scratching on the
republican end state tickets is about
equal.
CESCINNATI, Oct. 1.-THE election is
quiet. The weather is fair. The vote
is light but carriages are out
everywhere. 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 par
~ IS working energetically.
COLUMBUS, o., 11.-Returns from
forty-four townships show net demo-
cratic gain Of S5, and total temperance
vote of 247. At the same rate, the
temperance vote will be about 10000
Comparisons in these returns are based
on the election of October. 1880, for
secretary of state.
COLUMBUS, O., Oct. 11-10:10 p. NJ
One hundred and sixty-six wards and
precints show net democratic gain of
273; there are 2,232 wards and pre-
cints 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 116 pre-
clncts is 43, 3,292; temperance vote, 960
CINCINNATI, Oct 11.-There is small
prospect to give returns from Hamil-
ton county tonight, as at half past ten
not one precinct had been heard from
in full; only four had given reports as
to the head of the ticket. There are
indications of falling of amounting
to $50 per cent, with slight republican
gains. There is nothing at this hour to
base an estimate of the result on the
county ticket, except that more
scratching is being done by the repub-
licans than by the democrats.
COLUMBUS, O., Oct. I'LL 40 p. NJ
Geo. X. Nash, chairman of the repub-
lican state central committee declines
to claim anything yet except that the
republicans have carried the state. He
says that the returns have not come in
sufficiently to justify him in making an
estimate. The chairman of the demo-
cratic state central committee says the
indications now are that Foster will be
elected by about 5000 majority, and
that the legislature will depend upon
the result in Cincinnati and Hamilton
counties.
CLEVELAND, o., Oct. IL Returns
come in slowly on account of scratched
tickets. 1t is estim ted that Foster will
have 1000 majority in the county.
The entire ticket will he elected with
an average republican majority of :, 800.
CoLUMBvs, o., Oct. 12.-At II a. m.
543 wards and precincts show a net
demo tratic gain of 1,139. This ratio
through the entire state will give Fos-
ter over 1900 plurality. The republi-
cans claim three or four doubtful
members of the legislature, and one if
not both branches of that body. A
large republican gain was made at the
soldiers heme, at Dayton.
TOLEDO, o., Oct. 12.-The amount Of
scratching in this city has been re-
markable on the county ticket,
democrats and nationals combined
against the republicans. Fourteen
precincts give Foster 163 majority: 4
loss of sos; many precincts are not yet
in. The democrats claim the election
vi liS tHllI6 county llCkel, Out TIE re-
publicans do not concede this. There
is little doubt that the representatives
are both republicans. The seventh dis
trlct is in doubt, with the probabilities
of one republican and one democrat
The temperance vote will reach 15,-
600 in the state
The republicans have doubtless
elected a majoity Of both branches
of the legislature, unless
Hamilton county should send demo
cratic delegation.
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 4,400.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 11-Returns nave
been received from head 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 a majority
of ], 900 in the county,
