SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 12.-The Republicans
claim that Foster is elected by from 10000
to %, 900 plurality in the State, and claim
a majority in the House of Representa-
tives. The Democrats concede Fosters
by 10000, and say the complexion
of the State General Assembly is doubt
full, and will depend entirely on the result
in Hamilton 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
tickets on both sides scratched as much as
they were yesterday. The Temperance
vote in the State disappointed the expec-
tations Of its friends and opponents by its
smallness. The local ticket in Hamilton
is mixed. At II o'clock this forenoon the
figures cannot be given from Hamilton
County. Twenty-Five county and 10 city
precincts give Foster 5000 majority. On
the local tickets the Democrats probably
elect their Treasurer, Probate Judge and
three Of the five Common Pleas Judges.
For Senate and House OF Representatives
the race looks even. The Republicans
seem to have five members of the County
Board Of Control and one County Commits.
sioner. Longworth (Rep.), for Supreme
Judge, leads his ticket several hundred.
Fifty precincts in Hamilton County lave
been heard from. Fosters majority thus
far is 1900. The Republicans elect nine
out of ten of the candidates on the legisla-
tive ticket and lose one, Robert Harlan, 9
colOred man, in whose stead the Demo-
Gratis elect General A. L. Devereux. The
Republicans elect two State Senators and
lose one namely, Walker Yeatman, while
the Democrats probably elect Geo E. Gait
Senator. The Republicans elect Conner
and Maxwell Common Pleas Judges. and
certainly lose Cox and Crossley, while
Bookwalter is doubtful. The Democrats
elect Is Common Pleas Judges certainly
Avery and probably Mallon and johnson.
The Democrats elect Isaac B. Maston Pro-
bate Judge. Never in ten years before was
there 4 failure to have nearly all the re-
turns of Hamilton County in by about 4
o'clock In the morning after the election.
The cause Of delay this time is the great
prevalence Of scratching, causing delay in
counting. There Is no news from the
State elsewhere. Late returns from Ham
ilton County are not likely to affect the re-
suit as given above. From Butler County
the news comes that the vote was full, and
the whole Democratic ticket was elected
by q small majority.
h Democratic Convention
ALBANY, Oct. 12.-The convention was
called to order at 1925 O'Clock, and the
Committee on Contested Seats reported.
When the decision in favor Of the New
York County Democracy was announced
there was great cheering. The report was
unanimously carried. Hon. Erastus Brooks
was chosen permanent Chairman. and ad-
dressed the convention. At the conclusion
Of his address the Secretary read the roso-
iutjons. The platform adopted reafirms
fidelity to Democratic principles as set
forth by the National Convention, and de-
neunce the fraud Of 1876. whereby the
people we're defrauded Of the fruits OF
victory. 1t declares that reform IL still
necessary; that the continual disclosures
Of new ~plundering Of the peoples funds
by inner rings in the Treasury, Postofice
and Interior Departments demonstrate
that reform is more than ever o necessity,
and demands q thorough investigation
into the frauds. The assassination Of the
late President is deplored In all its public
and private aspects. and heartfelt sympa-

form favors hard money, and denounces the
Republican support Of reputation parties
in Virginia. Minnesota, Mississippi, and
other States. The Republican Legislature
Of New York Is also denounced for its
corruption and dishonesty. The resolutions
were adopted without dissent, and nomi-
nations were proceeded with.
What scoville Intends Doing.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-seoville, counsel
Of Guiteau. was in Court this morning.
and stated that he had no notice or infor-
nation as to when the arraignment of Gull
teau would take place; that he had not yet
received any answer from General Butler
as to whether he would act as counsel for
the defense ; that the statement already
published as to Merrick expressinga will
ingness to argue the question Of jurisdic-
ton. II raised, is correct that he has been
advised by distinguished lawyers all over
the country, including several Judges, to
raise every question and make every point
that can properly be made in behalf Of his
client that such is also the instruction to
Guiteau. and that he {Scoville) has no ap-

portions Of SO counties. Some Of the
counties are nearly in full. These returns

majority over Kline, Dem. Last year the
same counties gave Garfield 8, 561 majority.

give Sherman . majority OF between
$4,000 and $1,000 over the Democratic
candidate, and Q majority OF 50, 900 over
all. The reports indicate o majority Of 90
in the Legislature. The Senate will be
more strongly Republican than In 1879.
There 10 . gain Of one In Dubuque and
one In Lee, and probably n in keokuk
county. There have been fewer Republi-
can losses on account Of the p~rohibitory
movement than were expected.
