Germans were supposed to be cutting the head
Of the ticket on account of the action of the
saloonIeepers. Throughout the day the demo-
Gratis were confident of success, and even up to
O'Clock in the evening predicted Robinson's
defeat. The congressional fight has been para
mount in interest to the state ticket, with
many, and the result promises to be even more
of a surprise than the result on the rest Of the
ticket, the vote for Romeis, republican, for
congress, being even larger than an
tioipeted by his most sanguine friends
Reports from other quarters Of the district also
show republican gains oyer the vote of last
year.
A dispatch from Fremont states that in the
First ward Romeiss has 81 majority. In tho
Third ward Hurd has majority of rs. These
figures show large gains for Romeis over the
vote of the republican congressional candidate
of two years ago. Swanton, in this county, gives
Romes majority of 81, loss of
Gilmore, Ottowa county, gives Newman a
majority Of Ill and 62 for Hurd, a republican
gain.
Romeis' net gain over King, republican can
didate for congress two years ago in twenty
one precincts in Lucas county is 785.
Ten precincts in Defiance county, including
Defiance city, show republican gain Of 2l9
The democratic msierity in the county is prob
ably 100 Hill, democrat for congress in the
Sixth district, is elected.
TOLEDO, Oct. Il. So far as heard from the
republican state ticket has made large gains
throughout this congressional district, and es-
pecially in thiszcity. At present the indications
point to the election of Romeis over Hurd by .
small majority. One precinct in ward five gives
-Romeiis FORTY 81 2e2 and . gain over the
vots of the last congressional election of over
300. The eighth ward gives, gain of 200,
while other wards show correspondingly large
majorities.
TOLEDO, O.. Oct. l4.-Nothing definite from
to congressman. It will be several hours before
We can report with any accuracy as to the fate
of Mr.. Hurd.
TOLEDO, Oct. 14.-Of four counties in this
district, Lucas will give Romeis 200 to 200
majority. Erie gave Hurd 200 majority. San
are estimates based on returns from half of
the precincts. In Lucas oneethird; in San
dusky and Erie and one fifth in Ottawa.
TOLEDO, O., Oct. 15.-At 1880 a. m. meagre
returns from portion only of the districts
outside of Lucas county has been received, not
enough to justify further prediction as to the
result or to change the estimate already given.
The republicans generally are still claiming the
election of Romeis to congress by small
majority. More conservative are not counting
confidently on such result until more complete
returns are 1ecived from democratic counties.
Romeis, majority in Lucas county will be not
far from 1900, and it is probable most if not
all the republican county ticket will be success
full by majorities ranging from 2.00O and up
wards. Robinson's vote will fall below that for
the remainder of the state ticket, his majority
being estimated in republican quarters at 5000
to 1000. The result shows that the Germans
vote as three years sgo. before the temperance
agitation in the state.
