A GREAT VICTORYIN OHIO
HOADLY ELECTED GOVERNOR
BY $4,000 MAJORITY.


MajOrity-The Result of the Vote on
Prohibition still in Doubt-The Voting
Told in Detail.
CINCINNATI. Oct. 1O.-The election re-
turns are coming in very slowly. and are
not all in vet by long way. The Demo-
Gratis claim HOadly's election by 10000.
and the Republicans concede his election
by smaller figure. 1t is the most sweep
ing Democratic victory since 1888, and on
very full vote. All the State officers but
the Secretary Of State are secured. The
Democrats claim the Legislature by four
on joint ballot outside of Cincinnati. 1t
will elect Senator PendletOn's successor.
In this city Hoadly will have $500
majority, and the Democrats elect all the
county ticket but legislators and COM
missiOners. The Ohio Democrats were
never so jubilant. The prohibition amend
ment had an immense vote, but was de-
feated.
COLUMBUS, Oct. II, l A. M.-Returns
from eighty counties. and the other eight
estimated, give the State to the Demo-
Gratis by $4,000 majority and the Legisla-
ture to the Democrats by 30 to - major
ity on joint ballot. The second amend
ment will come close to adoption
COLUMBUS, oct. 10, 10 \. M.-Returns
have been received from 705 wards and
precincts which give a net Republican
gain of 1880. At this time the increase.
based on the number Of voting places
in the state, Indicate that the Republican
gain in the State will be about 12.OO0
which would elect Hoadly. Figuring the
total vote received with the probable
vote i'm the State it increases the Repub-
lican gains. 1t was impossible to deter
mine who was elected last night, but the
chances appeared to favor Hoadly.
CINCINNATI, oct. 10, IL A. M.-The
COHtDercidt Guzette, in its last edition this
morning, says that the impression pre-
walls that HOddly is elected Governor by
some 5000 to 5000 majority. The full re-
turns may give different result, but the
outlook is not favorable. The Legislature
is in doubt, but it is claimed by both Sides
The second amendment vote was large.
but it was probably defeated by the Gin
cinnati vote. The counting of the returns
is in confusion in this county, owing
to very late work. The morning
newspapers have barely
suggestion of the detailed vote. Everybody
Is worn out and the progress to-day will
be slow. The best estimate on Hamilton
county from additional returns received
this morning gives HOadly a majority of
from 1,500 to $500, with the Legislature
and county tickets either divided or the
Democrats defeated. This is based on re-
turns from 73 out of the 1913 precincts and
may be modified either way by subse-
quent returns. As near as can be esti-
mated the majority against the second
amendment will exceed 10000.
CLEVELAND, oct. 10, II A. M.-Returns
come in slowly. At 10 O'Clock this morn
ing, with two wards to hear from, the
indications are that HOadly carries this
county by a small majotity Rose, Re
publican, for Lieutenant Governor, by
about 1000, Whitbee. Republican, ) for
County Treasurer, by 1000 to 1,500.
Probably one Democrat and one
Republican Senator will be elected and
four Democrats and two Republican
Representatives. The remainder of the
Democratic county ticket is probably
elected, except, perhaps, the County
Auditor. The complete returns may
Change this somewhat. The result is a
surprise to both parties. The vote OF the
Second district has not been fully counted.
COLUMBUS, Oct. 10, - M.-NO add-
tlOnal returns Of consequence have been
received here as-yet this morning, except
private dispatches and scattering tcle-
grams. On what has been received, how
ever, the Democrats claim Hoadly's elec-
tiOn by 1900 and the Legislature. They
claim tn at IIOadly is running ahead in
Cincinnati, and that he will have 1000
majority in the county. The Republican
Committee believe that Hoadly's major
ity will be 5000 or 1000, and that Rose
Will be elected. Governor Foster thinks
that Hoadly's chances are best, but does
not abandon the hope Of either the Gov
ernOr or the Legisla ture. The latest re-
port from Cleveland indicates that HOadlv
will have a small majority in the county,
and that the Legislative ticket Will stand
four Democrats and two Republicans. At
their headquarters the Republicans are
still hoping for change. The Democrats
claim the Legislature by five, and the Re
publicans the Senate by 1.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 10, l2:30 =. NJ
Richard Smith, Of the Commercial Gdeette,
did not watch the returns last night, but
to-day, after looking over The field, he
said that he did not regard Foraker as de-
teated. At the previous election news Of
Democratic success in the election for
Governor had been heralded by the Demo-
cratic papers the morning after the cleo
tiOn and conceded by the Republicans,
yet later returns wholly changed the
aspect of affairs. He regards the pre-
cincts not yet heard from as likely to pro
duce greater Republican gains. As TO
defeat, MIR. Smith says that Foraker lost
votes from both parties on account of the
temperance issue. He thought alsOs
that the wool growers and wine growers
opposed him. \ special dispatch to the
IimcS-Stdr states that ClermOnt county
elects Democratic representative.
CLEVELAND, oct. 10, - 40 +. M.-ThC
result of the election in this county is
still indefinite, and the official count may
he required to decide in some cases. The
Republicans will probably elect one
Judge and three of the Representatives.
The judges and clerks have been count
ing all last night and this forenoon in
several wards. The figures first reported
are now cOntradicted in some cases. The
newspaper offices and other centres of
information are thrOnged with anxious
crowds, patiently waiting for returns
which cannot yet be given. Widely diff
terent bulletins are reported.
TOLEDO, Oct. 10, 2:30 z. M.-Twenty-
nine precincts in Lucas county show
Democratic gain of ISL. The Democratic
majority in the county will range from
200 to 80. HOadly's estimated majority
is 200. The Democratic Judicial ticket
is probably elected by 1000, the Legisla-
tive ticket by about 1900, and the Sena-
torial ticket by from 5000 to 1000 major
ity. The prohibition amendment is de-
feated by probably 5000, and the first
amendment is invisible.
