than guess, as the ballot is secret and no
counting will be done until after O'Clock.
! Some women have appeared at the DOlling
places and asked votes for the second
amendment, and ministers and prominent
church members are also attending the
polls for the same purpose. Democratic

the person desiring to vote for it must
erase the word no" 1t is not likely that
the amendment VIII receive anything
near majority in this county, but it will

! form Democratic vote was small, probably
/ not exceeding 1900 votes The Republicans
claim large gains in the German wards,
and say that Foraker Will overcome New

lO,6S9. The Democrats are equally hope
/ ful that they have carried the entire
county and State ticket. InIorma-
tiOn is not yet ut hand on which
CINCINNATI, Oct. 10, II 80 A. M.-Sev-
enteen precincts of the 1903 of this county
| give a Republican gain of 1917. This is
on the Governors vote. No compilation
has yet been made of the county ticket or
/ the Legislature. This would give the
/ county to HOadly by a small majority,
/ but with the votes cast for the Reform
/ Democratic ticket would leave the result
as to the county and Legislature i'm doubt,
with the chances in favor of the Republi-
cans. No report of the actual strength of
/ the Reform Democratic ticket has yet
4 been made. While the second amendment
! gets large vote, the majority against it
Will be sufficient probably to overcome
/ the majority for il in other parts of the
! State.

carry the Legislature. The Republican
committee expects to elect their Gov

I that il depends on the result in Cincin-
natI and Cleveland. The returns are 80
meagre that neither committee is over
/ confident. The impression prevails that

/ Neither committee, seemingly, cares for
the Legislature. Governor Foster con-

CINCINNATI, Oct. 10, l A. M.-The best

gave up nearly every ward, and the
! Democrats claimed everything in the city
| and townships, but as the evening pro

full, and the Democrats began to
( be doubtful. At l O'Clock no ward
had been fully counted, and it is
not likely that the result
in the city can be ascertained definitely

/ legislative ticket is in doubt, and the
Democrats concede a loss in the county of
