OHIO ELECTION.

A Light Vote and Great Deal OF
splitting Tickets Done Foster Of
Ohio and sherman Of Iowa Elected.
OHIO ELECTION.
COLUMBUS, Oct. 1.-THE election is
going on very quietly. The vote will
not be more than seven-eights as large
rs 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 energetically.
COLUMBUS, O., 11.-Returns from
forty-four townships show net demo-
cratic gain Of IS, and total temperance
vote of 247. At the same rate, the
temperance vote will be about 10000.
Comparisons in these returns are based
on the election of October. 1880, for
secretary of state.
COLUMBUS, O., Oct. 11-10:10 r. M
One hundred and sixty-six wards and
precints 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 1l6 pre-
cincts is 1892; temperance vote, 960.
CINCINNATI, Oct. n.-There is small
prospect to give returns from Hamil-
ton county tonight, as at half past ten
not one precinct had been heard from
in full; only four had given reports as
to the head Of the ticket. There are
indications of a 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 163 majority; a
loss OF 3O8; 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
tions are favorable for the republicans
Cleveland shows a republican ma
|jority Of 4,4OO.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 11.-Returns have
been received from head Of ticket from
Hamilton county; and fifteen Of the
nineteen precincts show net republi
can gain of 245. From this it is esti
mated that Foster will have majority
of 8, 1000 in the county,
CINCINNATI. Oct. 12.-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 cleo
nine out Of ten candidates on the legis
lative ticket, and lose one, Robert Har
Ian, the colored candidate, in who's,
stead the democrats elect Gen. A. F
Devereaux. The republicans also elec
two state senators, namely: Walker ant
M. Yeatman; while the democrat

The republicans elect Col. Norman ant
