The Republicans Carry BOth-Ex-
traOrdInary Changes In the Former
The Latter as solid as Usual.

COLUMBUS, October 12.-At 1:9O a. m.
five hundred and forty-three wards and pre-
cincts show net Democratic gain of 1,139.
This ratio throughout the entire State will
give Foster over 14,OO0 plurality. The Re-
publicans claim three or four doubtful
members of the Legislature and one, IL not
both branches, of that body. A very large
Republican gain was made at the Soldiers
Home In Dayton.
The feature of the elections consist of
Democratic gains IN Republican counties and
vice versa. This is attributed to the fact
that In several Republican counties, where
the temperance sentiment is very
strong, and where the church iDhu-
ence made itself particularly felt, the
Republicans scratched Foster on
account of the failure Of the Legislature
last winter to give additional liquor legisla-
tion. Fosters gain in the Democratic coun-
ties offsetting his loss In the Republican
counties is attributed to Bookwslter' S fail
ure through his brief connection with the
Democratic party to poll full vote In these
counties, and the stronger poll of the Re-
publicans than In reliable Republican coun-
ties, and is deemed In political circles to
have been Fosters main stay. Adams
county gives 164 for Bookwalter Republi-
can gain OF "a. There is a large Republi-
can gain in the southern part OF Clermont
county. Fosters majority In Ohio town
ship is 1l2 In Madison county Fosters
majority is 40, Republican gain of so.
Washington county gives Foster upward of
200 majority.
CINCINNATI, October 12.-The Republi-
cans say they have certainly control of the
House of Representatives without the aid
of Hamilton county, and they hope to have
control of the Senate. Republicans are
elected In the following Democratic coun-
ties: Clsremont, Henry, Vinton and Wayne;
also, In the following counties, which
were considered doubtful: Delaware, Erie,
Harding, Knox, Madison, Muskingum, Por-
tage, Ross and Sciota, and one in Starke,
Summit and Van Vert. The other mem
her from Starke is in doubt. Anderson (the
r publican candidate for Senator) is elect
ed in the Butler Warren district by
100 or $50 majority. Unofficial re-
turns strongly indicate the election
of Paul, Republican, to the Senate
from the Mam;-Dsrke district, and Neil,
Republican, to the Senate from the Frank
lin-PlckAwaY district. Local Democrats of
good standing coDcede Neil's election. The
Chairman of the Democratic Central Com
mlttee says the Legislature is in doubt, and
that the result in Hamilton county must
decide 1t. He claims gain of one repre-
sentative In the Republican county of JET
fersoD, and admits a loss of one 10 the
Democratic county OF Henry, and the cleo
ton of a Republican representative In the
Democratic county of Knox is reelection.
CINCINNATI, October IL Returns have
been received for the head of the ticket
from fifteen of the ninety-five precincts In
Hamilton county. These show a Republi-
can gain of 245 From this 1t is estimated
Foster will have a majority of $500 in the
1~ -
probability that the Republican
legislative ticket may be elected, but of
this 10 just estimate can be made Even
now no full return has been received from
any precinct in the city. The scratching
has been unprecedented, but it affects the
judicial candidates more than the Legisla-
ture.
There are one hundred precincts In Ham
iltcn eounty-ffty-six in Cincinnati and
forty-four outside the city. At o'clock
this morning the returns from only nineteen
Cincinnati precincts and twenty-six county
precincts had been obtained. Returns from
the balance Of the precincts were not OBJ
tainable because the officers of election had
been unable to get through counting on ac-
count of the furious scratching of tickets.
At 2:45 p. m. only siXtY-three precincts had
been heard from.
special from Columbus to the Times
House to the Republicans. They had hopes
that the Senate would be Democratic, ex-
peeting to have three members from Hamil-
ton county, but as this hope fails, It is con-
ceded that the Legislature will be Republi-
can in both branches

CHICAGO, October IL "A Times Colum-
bus, O, special says: "The temperance
vote will reach 5000 or 10000, more than
double that at any other election. Returns
have come in slowly on account OF local
complications and the vast amount
of scratching done, but out
Of the 2,232 precincts In the
State one-fourth are authenticity heard
from, showing a net Democratic gain OF
500 This will not change the result much
from that of last October. The Republicans
claim the State for Foster by Is, 600, and
the Democrats cOucede his election over
Bookwslter by 10000. The Republicans
claim both branches of the Legislature by
close shave. The result is better than the
Republicans expected, and is looked on as
final blow to temperance politics in this
State.
DUBUQUE, Iowa, Octuber 12-Returns
are very meagre, showing a light vote
throughout all the Northern towns. Only
fourteen towns have been heard from, but
all with the exception of Clayton county
give Republican msiorities In this county,
as far as heard from, the Democratic State
ticket has 9l3 majority, with the Democratic
towns to hear from. Graves (anti amend
ment Republican, is elected State Senator.
Three Democratic representatives are elect
ed. The Greenbackers seem to have held
their own despite contrary expectations
BURLINGTON, Iowa, October 12 -Incom-
plete returns indicate that the Republicans
have carried this, DesMoines, county for
the State ticket by a small majority. The
Democrats elect their legislative ticket,
and, perhaps, part Of their county ticket.
CHICAGO, October IA special to the
Journal, from DesMoines, Iowa, says:
"with a decrease of 10000 votes and no
campaign, Iowa gives Sherman, Of Shiloh,
$4,000 majority, elects Republican Repre-
sentative in Webster county for the first
time in twelve years, elects a Republican
Senator in Dubuque, also Republican
Senator and Representative in Lee county,
and secures a Republican majority of nine
in the Legislature. The entire Republican
ticket was elected in Polk county, despite a
fusion Of the Democrats and Greenbackers."
DEs MONIES, Iowa, October 12-Ad-
ditiOnal returns received to-day by the
State Register give partial repOr's from thirty
nine counties, from which the Republican
maioritVin the State over the Democrats is
estimated to be 55, 900, aud over both Demo
Gratis and Greenbackers 38 600. From the
same returns it is estimated that the Repub
licans will have a majority of 79 in the
Legislature. The Democrats do not con-
cede all these figures, but they do not dis
count them radically. The storm Of
Yesterday so disarranged the telegraphic
ervice that but very meagre returns have
been thus far received.
