ELECTION MATTERS
The Returns from Ohio and Iowa Com
ing in Uncommonly Slow.
Polling Very Light bat with Repubii-
can Majorit;es.

state Election i'm Ohio.
Cincinnati, Oct. 12.-The republicans
claim Foster elected by 10000 to 1000
in the state, and claim a majority in the
house of representatives. The demo-
Gratis concede Foster 10000 and say
that the complexion of the state gen.
eral assembly is doubtful and will de-
pend entirely on the result in Hamilton
county. Cincinnati for many years has
been uoted for the amount of scratching
done on both tickets, but never in the
history of elections were the tickets on
both sides scratched as much as they
were yesterday. The temperance vote
in the state has disappointed the ex-
pectations of its friends and opponents
by its smallness. The local ticket in
Hamilton is mixed, at IL this forenoon
the figures could not be given.
Columbus. o. Oct. 12.-The scratch
ing in this city is almost unparalleled.
Every state candidate suffered. As
testimony to this fact at late
hour the republican headquarters were
unable to say what the result would be
except that the republicans had carried
the state. It was extremely difficult to
give anything reliable or definite at
noon today. The smoke has cleared
and the chairman Of the republican
state central committee claims Fosters
majority to be 5000. and the chair
man Of the democrat state central COM
mittee comedies that claim. The re-
publicans say they certainly have con-
troll Of the house without the aid of
Hamilton county. and they hope to have
control Of the senate. Republican rep
resentatives are elected in the follow
ing democratic counties: Clermont,
Henry, Vinton and Wayne. also in the
following counties which are considered
doubtful, Delaware, Erie, Hardy, Knox,
Madison, Muskingum, Portage. Ross,
Sciota, one In Stark, Summit and Van
Vert, the other member from Stark is
In doubt.
Anderson, rep, for the senate is
elected in Butler. Warren district, by
100 or $50 majority.
1t is believed beyond doubt that the
senate is republican.
The chairman of the democratic
committee says the legislature is in
doubt and that the result in Hamilton
county must decide it. He claims
gain of one representative in the repub-
lican county of Jefferson and admits the
loss Of one in the democratic county Of
Henry and that the republican repre-
sentative in the democratic county Of
Knox is reelected.
One of the features of the election
Is that the democrats gain in the re-
publican counties and vice versa. This
is attributed to the fact that several
republican counties were church and
temperance very strongly. The re-
publicans scratched Foster on account
Of the failure to give the additional
liquor legislation. The legislature at
tempted to give this legislation but
could not agree on account of the
variety Of plans offered. Fosters gain
in the democratic counties, offsetting
the loss in the republican counties, is
attributed to Bookwalter's brief con-
nection with the democratic party to
poll full vote in these counties, and
stronger poll of republicans there than
in the reliable republican counties is
deemed in political circles to have been
Fosters main stay.
Toledo, Oct. 12.-The democrats elect
the county ticket except CLARK. The
republicans elect nine out of ten candi-
dates on the legislative ticket and lose
one, Robert Harlan, the colored man,
In whose stead the democrats elect
Gen. A. F.Devereux. The republicans
elect two state senator's and lose one,
namely, Walker M. Yeaseman, while
the democrats probably elect Geo. E.
Gault senator. The republicans elect
Connor and Maxwell commonplace
judges. and certainly lose Cox and
Crosby while Boohwalter is doubtful.
The democrats elect as commonplace
judges Avery and probably Mallon and
Isaac B. Matson probate ,udpe.
