licans gave up nearly every ward and the
democrats claimed every thing in the city and
township. out as evening progressed the re-
publicans grew more hopeful and the DEM
ocrats began to be doubtful. At one o'clock
no ward had been fully counted, and it it not
likely that the result in the city can be ascer-
tanned before morning. Probably the DEM
( ocTats elect most of the county candidates
but part of the legislature ticket it in doubt,
but the democrats conceed loss in the
county of 1900 votes.

Seventeen precincts of the 1903 in this
county give up the gam of 1877 on the gov
| ernor vote. This action would give the
county to Hoadley by small majority, but
with the votes cast for reform. the democrat
I &c ticket would leave the result as to the .eg-
lslature in doubt. with the chances in favor
of the republicans.
No report Of the strength of the reform
democratic ticket has yet been made While
The second amendment gets a large vote. the
majority against it will be sniff mt probably
10 overcome toe majority in other parts of
! the State
! The best information and estimate COM
blned give Hoadley a majority of 20OO in
Hamilton county with the county and legis-
latlve ticket in doubt, with the chances in
favor of the republicans. In the State, be-
tween Hoadley and Foraker, it is so close a
contest that no fair estimate can be made
| tonight.
