teenth, Twentieth, and Twcnty.ilrst
Districts Tonight the election Of Morey,
Republican, in tho Seventh, is claimed
and conceded by some Democrats, by n
minority estimated from II to IS. An Off.
cial count will probably be necessary 10
decide it. The majority Of Warner, Dem.
ocrat, in tho Fifteenth, is 45O. In the
Twentieth District, Mcclure, Republi:
can. may yet overcome the small
majority given Paige this morning. The
greatest change is in the Twcnty.hrst dis
trict, where Fonn, Democrat, has a ma.
jority Of 4,65l, as against 1856 Republican
majority year ago. Follett in tho First
district has $50 majority, and
Jordan in the Second district
has l,763. Frank IIurl has about
900 in the ! Nineteenth district.
UpdegraG Republican has 500 in the l7.b,
and is tonight reported very i'll. The
other maiorities are not ascertained sut.
fciently to give a definite figure. 1t is very
likely that ono or two districts may be
changed from each side by the final re.
turns. Tho 18th district will require
an official; count to settle the
claims Of Mckinley, Republican, and Wal
lace, Democrat. The Democrats carried
everything in Hamilton county; the sheriff
by close squeeze. They arc everywhere
surprised by tho largcness Of the ma.
jority in the State, double what they
thought they had reason 10 expect, and the
in Hamilton county on this local
ticket, ranging from III to $500, though

lO,G50. ID n
OF the causes that brought about this
Democratic victory the most patent seems
to have been alight Republican vote in the
rural districts. In the cities the issue OF
the liquor tasations and Sunday closing
Of saloons was vigorously pushed.
This antagonizcd the liquor interest
and that class organized and spent money
polling every possible vote for
the Democracy. They were met by the
city Republicans, but the efforts Of the
latter were not seconded in the coun-
try districts and the preponderance Of
OF the city Democratic vote was too heavy.
The temperance issue would seem to have
been sprung, by the Republicans year
too soon as a party measure
for despite the advocacy by
the leaders Of the Republican party, the
Prohibitionists seem to have greatly in
creased their vote, whereas they were ex.
pected to vote almost solidly with the
Republicans. OF the result on the
Republican future in Ohio, it is almost
too soon 10 speak. 1t will probably greatly
weaken, il not altogether destroy Governor
Fosters chances for the Senate, but be-
yond that nothing more is likely.
: Returns to the Ga.elte up to 1890 to-
night show that the vote in the Nineteenth
district, Garfeld's old district, has fallen
OF largely, Taylor's majority being about
500. The election OF Paige, Democrat,
in the Twentieth is conceded by 80 to so.
Wallace, Democratic, has lCO in the
Eighteenth; Neal, Democratic, over ex.
Governor Hart in the Twelfth, has 200 ma.
