Ohio Elections.
COLUyBUs, ONO, OetOber 12.-At 1:2O
A. VI. 543 wards and precincts showed
net Democratic gain OF ,139 votes. Thi
ratio throughout the entire State will give
Foster over $4,000 plurality. The Repub-
licans claim 3 or doubtful members Of
the Legislature, and one il not both
branches Of that body. A very large Re
publican gain was made ut the Soldiers
Home, in Dayton.
CHICAGO, October 12.-The TTneS's Co
lumbus special says that the Temperance
vote will reach 10, 900 or 1G,00o-more than
double that OF any other election. The
vote is over 100000 short OF what it was
one year ago. Returns have come in
slowly on account OF local complications
and the vast amount OF scratching done,
but out OF 1892 precincts in the State one
fourth are authenticity heard from, show
ing n net Democratic gain OF 800. This
will not change the result much from that
OF last October.
The Republicans claim The State for Eos
ter by $4,000, and the Democrats cOncede
his election over Bookwalter 10y 10000.
The Republicans claim both branches OF
the Legislature BY clO,e shave. The re-
suit is better than the Republicans expect
ed, and Is looked on rs final blow to tenn
pcrance politics in this state.
CINCINNATI, October 12.-ReiIirns have
been received from the head OF the ticket
from fifteen out Of ninety-iive precincts in
Hamilton county. These show Republic
can gain OF 245. From this it is estimated
that Foster will have r majority OF 1900 in
the county. II this is reached there Is a
probability that the Republican legislative
ticket may be elected; but Of this no just
estimate can be made. Eyc, now no full
return has been received from Gny pre-
cinct in the city. The scratching has been
unprecedented, but it affects the Judicial
candidates more than it does the lcgisla-
tive.
CINCINNATI, October IA special from
Columbus TO the IimeS-SiQr says: "The
Democrats conccde the House to the Re
publicanS. They had q hope that the SEN
ate wOnld be Democratic, expecting to
have three members from Hamilton coun-
ty; but as this hope fails, il is conceded
that the Legislature will be Republican in
both branches"
CINuSNATI, October 12.-The Republic
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. Republican repre-
sentatiyes are elected in The following DEM
ocratic counties Clcrmont, Henry, Vim
/ ton, and Wayne; also in the following
counties, which were considered doubtful :
/ Delaware, Erie, Harding, Knox, Madison,
Muskingham, Portage, Ross, and Scioto;
and one each in Starkc. Summit, and Van
vert. The other member from Starkc Is
/ i'm doubt. Anderson, the Republican can
didatc for senator, Is elected in Butler,
| Warren district, by 100 or $50 minority.
/ Unofficial returns strongly indicate the
election Of Paul (Rep.) to the Senate from
the Miami, Darke district, and Neil (Rer.)
+ TO the Senate from Franklin, PicaWay dis
trict. Local Democrats OF good political
/ standing conccdc NeiPs election.
/ The chairman Of the Democratic Central
Committee says that the Legislature Is IN
doubt. aud TINT The result i'm Hamilton
county must decide It. lie claims gain OF
one representative in the Republican county
" jefferson, and admits a loss OF one in the
f Democratic county OF Henry, and that the
election Of n Republican representative in
the Democratic county Of Knox Is re-
election.
COLUMBUS, October 12.-The feature OF
the elections CONSISTS Oh DtlIlO'ItllC Euihh
in Republican counties, and Cice rerSd.
. This is attributed to the fact that in several
Republican counties where the temperance
sentiment is very strong. and where church
influence made itself particularly felt, the
Republicans scratched Foster OH account
OF the failure Of the Legislature last winter
to give additional liquor legislation. Eos
ter's gain in Democratic counties, offset
setting the loss i'm Republican counties, i
attributed to Bookwatcr'S brief connection
with the Democratic party. The polling Of
a full vote in the counties, and stronger
poll Of Republicans there than in reliable
Republican counties, is deemed in political
circles to have been Fosters main stay
Adams county gives 1914 for Bookwalteer-a
Republican gain OF y. There is large
Republican gain in the southern part OF
Clcrmont county. Fosters majority ia
Ohio township is ll2. in Madison county
