COLUMBUS, O., Oct. 11-ReturnS to-day
from the State election Tuesday have
been meager and no systematic effort
has been made to figure on the State
ticket. The Democrats, however, claim
the State by $4,000 or more, though the
Republicans think it will not exceed
10000. The Congressional delegation
will probably stand six to fifteen in ia
vor of the Democrats. The Republicans
claim the election of Taylor, Robinson,
Kiefer, Updegraff and Mccormack, and
consider the contest close on Morey,
Mcclure and Mckinley. The Democrats
claim the election of Follett, First; Jor-
dan, Second; Morey, Third; Lefevre,
Fourth; Seney. Fifth; Hill, Sixth ;Hurd,
Tenth; Neal. Twelfth; Converse, Thir
teenth; GedderS, Fourteenth; Warner,
Fifteenth: Wilkins, Sixteenth; Wallace,
Eighteenth; Page, Twentieth; Foran,
Twenty-frst, and concede the election
of Morey in the Seventh, Keifer in the
Eighth, Robinson in the Ninth, McCor-
Mack in the Eleventh, Updegraff in the
Seventeenth and Taylor in the Nine
teenth
CINCINNATI, Oct. l1.-Specials from
Congressional districts show a very
close contest between Morey, Rep, and
Campbell, DEM, in the Seventh district ;
Hart, Rep, and Neal, Dem, in the
Twelfth, and Mckinley, Rep, and Wal
lace, DEM, in the Eighteenth. Morey
claims majority of 40. Neal and Hart
each claim from to IA, and the official
count will be required to decide. Wal
lace claims majority of 4, and here
also the official count must determine.
Morrow, DEM, in the Third district, has
a majority of 261.
A Cincinnati special to the Intelligen-
Ger of Thursday says that enough is
known to say that the Democratic ma
jority in the State will be likely to over
run 10000. with probably 10 of the Con-
gressmen. Up to 3 o'clock the Republi
cans conceded the First, Second, Third,
I r IFouftifi, Firth, Sixth, Seventeenth,
Twelfth, Thirteenth. Fourteenth, Fif-
teenth, Sixteenth, Twentieth, and Twen-
ty-first Districts. Tonight the election
.Of Morey. Republican, in the Seventh, is
claimed and conceded by some Demo-
Gratis, by majority estimated from IA to
S5. An official count will probably be
necessary to decide it. The majority of
Warner, Democrat, in the Fifteenth, is
450 In the Twentieth District, Nc
Clue, Republican, may yet overcome the
small majority given Page this morning.
The greatest change is in the Twenty
first district, where FOran, Democrat,
has majority of 4,651, as against 1856
Republican majority year ago. Follett
in the First district has $50 majority,
and Jordan in the Second district has
| 1,763. Frank Hurd has about 900 in the
Nineteenth district. Updegraff, Repub-
lican, has 500 in the I7th, and is tonight
reported very ill. The other majorities
are not ascertained sufficiently to give
definite figure 1t is very likely that
one or two. districts may be changed
| from each side by the 6nalreturns. The
18th district will require an official
count to settle the claims of Mckinley,
Republican, and Wallace, Democrat
The Democrats carried everything in
Hamilton county; the sheriff by close
squeeze. They are everywhere sur
prised by the largeness of the majority
in the State, double what they thought
they had reason to expect, and the
smallness in Hamilton county on this To-
cal ticket, ranging from Iii to $500
though Newmana at the head of the State
ticket got 10,65o. ,sg .'.-s-s aiHi.
| OF the causes that brought about this
Democratic: victory the nest patent
seems to have been alight Republican
vote in the rural districts. In the cities
the issue of the liquor taxatiOns and
Sunday closing of saloons was vigourous:
ly pushed. This antagonized the liquor
interest and that class organized and
spent money vigorously, polling every
possible vote for the Democracy. They
were met by the city Republicans, but
| the. efforts of the latter were not second
ed in ths country districts and the pre-.
ponderance of the city Democratic vote
| was too heavy. The temperance issue
would seem to have been sprung by the
| lRepublicans year too soon as party
measure, for despite the advocacy by the
| leaders of the Republican party. the
| Prohibitionists seem 70 have greatly in
tcreaSed .heir vote whereas they were eX-
| pected To vote almost selidly with the
| Republicans. OF the result on the Re,
publican fntnre in Ohio, it is almost toe
| soon tn. speak twill probably greatly
weaken. If not t',altogether destroy Gov
ernor Fosters chances for the Senate
IBut beyond that nothing more is likely,
! THE New York Stats Zeitung credits
+ the Germans in Ohio with having bro't
about the defeat of the Republican party
and saws the Democratic victory in Ohio
Is possibly the most severe blow which
the temperance element has ever receiv'
led. The moral effect will certainly be
felt in the November elections.
