OHIO.
COLUMBUS, Oct 12.--There is an almost
Unparalleled scratching of the State. and To-
cal tickets in this city. There is not a.
candidate on the State ticket but who suf
fered in the same way. Private dispatches
bear uniform testimony to this fact. At a.
late hour at the republican headquarters
they were unable to say what the result
will be, except that the republicans had
carried the state. 1t was extremely dittlc-
cult to give anything reliable or definite at
noon to day.
The Chairman of the republican State
Committee claims Fosters majority is l5,-
| 600. and the Chairman of the Democratic
State Committee comedies that claim. The
republicans say they certainly have controI
of the House without the aid OF Hamilton
county, and they shope to have control
of the State. Republican repre-
sentatives are elected in the following
Democratic counties: Clermont, Henry
Vinton and Wayne; also in the following
counties which were considered doubtful;
Delaware, Erie, Hardin, Knox, Madison.
Muskingum, Portage, Ross, Sciota and one
in Stark, Summit and Van Vert. The
other member from Stark is in doubt.
Robert Anderson, for the senate, is elected
In Butler by 100 or $50 majority. Unoffi-
cial returns strongly indicate the election of
Paul, Republican, to the senate from Mi
ami, and Neil, Republican, to the senate,
from Franklin. Local Democrats of good
political standing, concede Neil's election
by the Republicans to the senate beyond a
doubt The chairman of the Democratic
central 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 Republican
county of Jefferson, and admits the loss of
one in the Democratic county of Henry,
and that the election of Republican rep
| resentative in the Democratic county of
| Knox is reelection.
/ One feature of the election consisted of
| democratic gains in republican counties
and race uersa. This is attributed to the
/ fact that in several republican counties
where the temperance sentiment IS very
/ strong, and where the church influence
made itself particularly felt. the repubii-
cans scratched Foster on account OF the
failure of the Legislature last winter to
give additional liquor legislation The
Legislature attempted to give this legisia-
| ton, but could not agree on account OF
the variety of plans offered. Fosters gain
| in democratic counties offsetting the loss
/ in Republican counties is attributed TO
| Bookwalter's brief connection with the
democratic party to poll fun vote in these
counties, and stronger poll of republi-
cans than IN reliable Republicans counties,
| Is deemed in political circles to have been
| Fosters main stay.
Returns since noon have been meagre,
| and very little has been learned of the re-
/ suit. Governor Foster believes that his
lna;ority win reach 20, 600. 1T is believed
that Jennisen Hall, republican, is elected
