THE ELECTIONS.

The Result Of the Elections in Ohio and
Iowa-The Democrats Successful in Ohio
Iowa Carried by the Republicans, but
by a Decreased Majority.
OHIO.
CINCINNATI, O., Oct. 10.
The returns, which came in slowly all
the afternoon, seem to have settled the re-
suit except as to exact majorJties. At the
Republican headquarters there is no figur-
ing going on tonight. Hoadly's election
and that of the other Democratic candi-
dates is agreed upon very generally by
both parties. About 5000 seems to be the,
most accurate estimate of the majority, al
though the Democrats claim 5000. 1t he,
gets 5000, Rose, who is running about 3,50o'
ahead of his ticket, will not get through.
The result is sweeping. The complexion of
the Legislature is assuredly Democratic.
The Democrats claim it without Hamilton
County by four votes, but only official re-
turns can determine that, for the
voting in several districts is very
close. However, the Hamilton County
delegation of thirteen is Democratic,
with the exception of three, who are press
ed very close by Republicans leading their
ticket. Including Hamilton County the
Democrats are able to spare several dis
tricts now in doubt, and still control the
Legislature Brown, for the Senate, and.
Stricken and Peet, for the House, are the
three Republicans who may yet prove to.
have been elected in Hamilton County.
The Prohibition workers cling to the hope
that the second amendment has been car
ried. They say the precincts reported from
various parts of the State are those of
towns and cities reached by the telegraph
system. Their big vote, they claim, Will
come from the school-house districts and
r,o11inn MI They don't pYDpct,
anything decisive for day or two.
It is impossible to give anything like a.
complete report Of the Hamilton County
election, as only footings obtainable are for
Governor, and that for 100 out of 103 pre-
cincts it stands: Hoadly, 1874; Foraker.
1896; Hoadly's majority, 2,319. The other
three precincts are small and will not ma
terially change the result. This is a Re-
publican gain of $3.50. Lieutenant-Gcver-
nor Rose runs ahead of Foraker. The county
ticket appears to be about thousand be-
hind Hoadly, which would elect all the
Democrats, but there are variations which
make it probable that several Republicans
are elected. The vote for Brewster, Demo-
crat, Auditor, 2s,352; Young, Republican,
27,0I0; Treasurer, Rattlerman, Democrat,
1889; Knumener, Republican, 26, 223o. The
footlngs of ninety-nine precincts show
three Democrats elected Senators. NO foot
ings for Representatives.
Twenty-nine precincts in Lucas County
show Democratic gain of ISL. The Demo
cratic majorities in this county will range
from 20 to $50. Hoadly's estimated major
ity is LOO. The Democratic judicial ticket.
is probably elected by 1900, the legislative
ticket by about 1900, and the Senatorial
from 1900 to 10000 majority. The Prohibi-
ton amendment is defeated by probably
5000, and the first amendment is Invisible
