OCTOBER ELECTIONS.
A Light Vote and a Great Deal of
splitting Tickets Done.--Foster of
Ohio aud sherman of Iowa Elected.
ONO ELECTION.


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 a year ago. The prohibition
vote will be light. The scratching on the
republican and state tickets is about
equal.
CINCINNATI, 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
ty is working theoretically.
COLUMBUS, O., 11.-Returns from
forty-four townships show net demo-
cratic gain of 50, and total temperance
vote of PAT. At the same rate, the
temperance vote will be about 10000.
Comparisons in these returns are based
or the election of October. 1880, for
secretary of state.
COLUMBUS, o., Oct 11-10:10 P. M
One hundred and sixty-six wards and
pfecints 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-
cincts is 1892; temperance vote, geo.
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
i'll full; only four had given reports as
to the head OF the ticket There are
indications of falling off 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.
TOLEDO, o., Oct. 1.-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 1853 majority; a
loss of 308; many precincts are not yet
in. The democrats claim the election
of the entire county ticket; but the re-
publicans do not concede this. There
is little doubt that the representatives
are both republicans. The seventh dis
trict 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 majoity of both branches
of the legislature, unless
Hamilton county should send a demo
cratic delegation.
Very meagre returns have been re-
ceived from Cincinnati, but the indica.
tons 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 republic
can gain of 245. From this it is esti-
mated that Foster will have a majority
of 5000 in the county,
CINCINNATI Oct. Fifty-five pre-
cincts of Hamilton county have beer
heard from; fifty remain to be heard
from. Fosters majority thus far is fif
teen hundred The republicans eleci
nine out of ten candidates on the legis
lative ticket, and lose one, Robert Har
Ian, the colored candidate, in whose
stead the democrats elect Gen. A. F
Devereaux. The republicans also elecl
two state senators, namely: Walker anc
NJ. Yeatman; while the democrats
probably elect Geo. E. Gault, senator
The republicans elect Col. Norman and
Maxwell common pleas judges, and
certainly lose Cox and Crissley
while Bookwalter is doubt
full. The democrats elect al
common pleas judges certainly anC
probably Mallon and Johnson. The
democrats, elected Isaac B. Mason
for probate Judge. Never before in ter
years was there failure to have nearly
all returns of Hamilton in about foul
o'clock the morning after election. The
cause this time is the great prevalence
of scratching tickets, causing delay
in counting. No news from the state
elsewhere.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 12.-Newspaper re
turns from 25 of the 100 precincts ii
Hamilton county, have been footed W
with the following result: Foster, %,
1874; Bookwalter, 25,019; Fosters ma
jority, 3,175. The rest of the stat,
ticket, except Richardson, on the re
publican side, ran from 100 to 70(
ahead of Foster. Johnson, tor ieuten
ant governor, runs 500 aheal
of Bookwalter. The republican sena
tors, Dexter, Ballatt and Yeatrnan
are elected, the latter by majority
Of 800. All the republican senators arr
elected except Robert Harlan, colored
who is beaten by Gen. A. F. Devereaux
by about 400 votes. Democrats cleo
Aver and Johnson judges, and republi
cans elect Connor, Maxwell and Book
walter. Watson, democratic probat,
judge, has majority of 1000. Miller
democratic treasurer, has about thu
same majority. Hill, republican coun
ty commissioner, is elected by 4,00(
majority. Republicans elect 5 mem
bers of the board of control by major
ity ranging from 5000 to 1000
also elect the director of the
county infirmary and three justices
OF the peace, democrats elect one Igs
tice of the peace, I. A. Johnson. Five
precincts to hear from gave republi
can majority in 1879, this should b'
added to the figures here given.
TOLEDO, Ohio, Oct. 1.-THE Toledo
Blades figures, this morning, give
Bookwalter 275 majority in Lucas
county, and Longworth 200. 1t claims
that the republicans elect the probate
Judge, county clerk, prosecuting attor
ney, and one representative. The re
mainder OF the county ticket is demo
cratic. Steedman, democrat, and Nor
ton, republican, were elected to the
senate.
