CINCINNATI, October 1l.-There is but a
small prospect of being able to give the re-
turns from Hamilton county tonight At
1880 p. III. not one precinct had been heard
from in full. Only three or four had givenrc
ports as to the head of the ticket, but all in
dictated falling off in the total amount TO Is
to 20 per cent, with slight republican gains
There is nothing whatever at this hour upon
which to base an estimate Of the result on
the county ticket, except that more
scratching was done by republicans than by
democratic
Columns, October 11.-George Knish,
chairman of the republican state commit
tee, declines to claim anything yet, except
that the republicans have carried the state.
He says the returns have not come in sutli.
GENTLY to justify him in fixing estimates on
the majority.
Mr., Clark, chairman of the democratic
state central committee, says the indica-
tons now are that FoSer's majority will be
about 5000, and that the complexion of the
legislature will depend upon the result in
Cincinnati and Hamilton county.
COLUMBUS, October LII townships
show net democratic gain of So, and n
| total Temperance vote ofH7. At the same
rate the temperance vote will amount to
about 10000. The comparisons of returns
were based On the election of October 1850,
for secretary of state.
COLUMBUS, o., October II The falling off
in the city and county vote is estimated at
nearly one-fourth. Sufficient is not known
ut this hour to determine which party
will gain on account of tins fall

slowly ON account of the heavy scratching
on the local tickets. In some quarters
there was enough scratching both of Foster
and Bookwalter 70 make the result here
doubtful Some wcll-known republicans
and Methodists scratched Foster, and per-
haps corresponding numbers of democrats
failed to vote for or scratched Bookwalter.
CINCINNATI, October l2.-Returns have
been received from the home of the ticket
From Is of 10 preCints in Hamilton county
there is shown q republican gain of 275
From this il is estimated that Foster vii
have n majority of $500 in the county. |
this is reached there is some probability
that the republican legislative tickle
lust estimate can bemade. Even now full
returns have not ..heen received from an,
precinct in any city Scratching has bee
unprecedented, but it affects the judicia
candidates more than the Legislative,
CHICAGO, October 12.-The Times Column
bus, Ohio, special says the temperance vot
will reach 1900 or l6, 900, more than doubl
that of any other election. The vote is owe
{ 900 hort of what it was one year age
Returns have come in slowly on account c
local complications and vast amount {
scratching, but out of 1882 precincts in tn
state, one-fourth are automatically hear
from, showing net democratic gain {
, 800, This will not change IL
result much from that of last year. TIL
republicans claim the state for Foster b
< $4,000, and the democrats concede his elc
n ton over Bookwalter by 10000. Tho r.
publicms claim both branches of the legi
