The Democrats Sweep
Everything Before
Them.
Fun Particulars of the October
Elections.


no material difference between the
| vote for secretary of state and SUI
preme judge in returns already re-
ceived.
From the few fullreturns received it
! Is apparent that the democratic state
| ticket has many more votes than the
| congressional and county ticket, but it
| is difficult to see how that difference
/ can be great enough to elect the re-
publican candidates for congress in the
first ard second districts. The vote of
Marinetta City and township gives
Warner, democrat for congress, a gain
| of 345; Horn, republican, estimated
majority in Huron county, 400.
THE DEMOCRATS VICTORIOUS.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, Oct. 10.--Returns

ceived, show constant democratic

fortv-one precincts show net demo-
cratic gain of 14,482. This indicates a

the state.
RETURNS ON CoNGREssMEN.
] COLUMBUS, Oct. Ill a. m. The re-
TURNS on congressman are mea-
gre and unsatisfactory, and from
the majority of them no
definite results hare been secured.
| The best information which can be
gained from both headquarters, give
the republicans the third, eighth,
eleventh, fourteenth, seventeenth,
eighteenth and nineteenth districts
seven in all; the first, second, fourth,
fifth, tenth, thirteenth, sixteenth and
twenty-first, are conceded to the dem
ocracy, leaving the sixth, seventh, ninth,
twelfth, fifteenth and twentieth in
doubt. The republicans claim they
will have IL, majority of the delega-
ton. @
HOW FOSTER ACCOUNTS FOR IT.
l. Gov. Foster accounts for the repub-
lican defeat on the ground that they
had eight or ten weak candid ates
where a bitter fight was made. He
assigned as other reasons that the
liquor interest went over in body to
the democratic party. not only furnish
ing means, but were also active in
polling full vote. He is of the opin-
ion that if the republicans had gotten
out their vote, the democrats could
not have carried the state.
CINCINNATI. Oct. 10.-Returns COM
piled from Al precincts in Hamilton
county show democratic majority of
S,46S for the state ticket, while the
lowest democratic majority on the
county ticket, that for sheriff, is 337.
At the same rate for the remaining
precincts the maximum democratic
majority will be $500, and the mini
mum $50.
DEACON SMITHS OPINION.
Richard Smith, of the Gazette,
while measuring the democractic vic
tory at about 10000 in the state,
and at least 10 congressman, says
the losses have been large in nearly
every part of the state. The demon ali
cation of the republican party in New
York and Pennsylvania, had its effect
here, and while the bossism that spell
ed the party in those states does not
exist here yet the fact that the party
was divided and that the national ad-
ministration whether justly or other
wise, was made party, and in the
public estimation was on the wrong
side, has had bad effect in Ohio. Be-
sides it has been up hill work during
the canvass to explain to the
people the action of congress In voting
extravagant appropriations and failing
to reduce taxation. although the demo-
cratic minority always obstructed such
legislation.
THE TEMPERANCE QUESTION
which was live issue in the campaign
was not boldly presented. 1t did
all the harm that it could do, without
calling out the strength it might have
brought if it had not been for the
divided republican front. He regards
the disaster no worse than others and
counsels no lowering of the flag.
HAMILTON COUNTY.
| CINCINNATI, Oct. 10-Returns COM
piled from % precincts of Hamilton
county, show that in about one-fourth
of the entire county, candidates on
the democratic state ticket aveaage
five hundred more votes than
democrats on the county ticket, but
there is great diversity in the
vote for county officials, indicating
that the republicans will elect the
candidate for sheriff The democratic
gain in 20 precincts is $500.
MONTGOMERY COUNTY.
DAYTON, Ohio, Oct. TO- Montgomery
county third district) gives Murray,
democratic nominee for congress,
about 1900 majority. Shultz, repub-
lican, is probably elected by small
majority. The entire democratic coun-
ty ticket in this county is elected.
FRANK HURD ELECTED.
TOLEDO, Oct. 10.-Indications at
midnight are that the democrats will
carry this county, on state and county
ticket by about 500. King, republican
for congress, runs. ahead of his ticket
and will probably have 200 majority in
the county. Toledo city complete,
gives Hurd. democrat for congress, 181
majority. Returns already received
indicate the election of Hurd. The
democrats claim bis majority to be 500
in this city.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 10,-Mr. Halstead
of the COMMERCIAL attributes the disas-
tel to the interference of Gov. Foster
and Richard Smith whereby the Ger
man republicans were alienated. He
says the Germans have always been
the old guard Of the republican
party in Ohio. No issue has
ever been successfully met in Ohio
without their aid, and none ever will
be. The whole trouble was Matched
by meddling people who had nothing
to say and who would at another time
impale the party on the issue of wo-
mans suffrage if nothing better could
be found. He had no hesitation in
Il denouncing the leaders of the anti
4 German issue as responsible for this
crushing defeat.
WHAT THE DEMOCRATIC ENQUIRER !"
i SAYS.
The Enquirer will claim fifteen con-
i gressmen In Ohio. As to majorities it
does not mention estimates, but refers
freely editorially to its kilograms. 1t
viii say the victory is decisive, over
wnelning, that it disposes of Foster In
| politics 1t assumes the campaign was
dishonest ON the part Of republicans,
because it alleges they talked one way
on the liquor question IN the country
| and another in the cities. 1t will say
| the result is significant beyond local
4 questions; that democrats after
being cheated out of the presidency
! in 1876. came near eiecting their
