Unofficial Returns Received from
Ohio
NOW PLACE THE REPUBLICAN
MAJORITY AT 1900.
West Virginia Probably Democratic by
5000 Majority.
| CoLUMBUs, Oct. 10 Complete returns have
Deeh received from 20 of the SO counties in the
state The reports were never SO prompt be-
fore. This indicates that there were but few
| scratched tickets. A shade of mystery sur
rounds the Prohibition vote, and upon this and
tne withholding of reports from few counties
the Democrats hang their hope of cutting
down the Republican majority below 10 900
The contest for congressman in the Third
District is very close, but as Morey, the Re-
/ publican candidate runs ahead of his ticket
| l52 votes in Fremont county, which makes a
change of over 800 votes in favor of the Repub-
licans, his friends claim his election. The
indications are that johnson, the Republican
candidate for Supreme Court judge has ma
| Jorty of 5000 in Hamilton county AMI that he
has run ahead of the other Candidates not
witbstanding the opposition of the liquor inter-
ests Ii this is confirmed it will show that the
temperance Democrats scratched their own
candidate and voted for johnson.

TOLEDO, o., Oct. 15.-The interest in the
election was SO great that vast crowds remain
ed at political headquarters nearly all night,
and early this morning when Republican
victory was assured the enthusiasm found vent
in various ways Hundreds OF men with tin
horns. ioinei by others with torcnes, formed
in procession and marched through the streets.
The whole forenoon has witnessed no abate-
ment of interest, especially iD the result of the
congressional fight Hurd claims majority
of 200 while the Republicans claim that Rom
ers is elected by from 200 to 500. The turns
come in slowly and it may take the official
vote TO settle the question. Nothing has been
heard from the back townships in o ia Co.
The result in Lucas county seems to render
certain the election of the entire Republican
ticket by majoritles OF from 800 to 800, except
the clerk of courts who has about 300. Will
sons election as common plea judge Is conced-
ed by the Democrats, bnt the other candidate
is in doubt as Lennon, Democrat, is extremely
popular and may pull through. The circ liJ
judgeships are all Republican in Williams
county, where the State and County ticket is
reported Democratic excepting two county tffi-
GERS. Newman's majority is placed at 81 a
Democratic gain OF over Hoady.
CINCINNATI Oct. 15.-Reurns received from
all paris of the sta 9 are uniform in showing
an increased vote, and in many cases the in,
crease is very marked. Another feature shows
thaff ha anplQ mo fhQp 0rdit oril
rayed IL two great parties. Both the Green
back and Prohibition vote was comparatively
Insignificant, and the vote was as distinctly
marked as it a presidential ticket had been
before the people. matter of great surprise
is the large vote received by the Republican
candidate for Judge of the Supreme Court.
Tnere was general belief that he would fall
far below the rest of the ticket owing to disaf-
fection among the saloon Men on account of
his opinion in the Scott liquor law, but con-
trary TO expectations he Carried fully up with
the remainder OF the ticket, and here in Ham
iiton county his vote is greater than that for
Robinson. Clarke county, it is estimated, will
give 2300 Republican majority, and Scioto
county about 700, with Judge johnson leading
the ticket. Athens county gives Grcsvencr,
Rep, for Congress 1900 majority. Beilaire
shows slight Democratic gain. Gallon, KsnI,
Chocton, Mansfield aud Somerset counties also
show small Democratic gains
The Republicans here are jublant. Crowds
are upon the street, and upon the least provo
cation shout and sing.
CINCINNATI, o., Oct. 15.-The Democratic
and Republican newspapers of this city agree
this morning that yesterdays election was the
bloodiest ever held here. The Democratic
papers assert that a thousand deputy marshals
were employed mainly in intimidating honest
voters, while the Republican press criticise the
conduct of the police force and deputy sheriffs
in the same way. Following is list OF those
injured during the day: Joe Lowrey, shot in
tha Rnina fatAllu. Hnuhaa str in
the breast with a stone and dangerously hurt;
John Murphy, shot in the stomach, flesh
wound; Andrew Bennett colored, shot IN the
side, but not dangerously; John Daiton. shot
in the leg, but in no danger; Samuel Taylor,
colored, shot in the side, serious; Mike Cor
man, policeman, shot in the back aud Danger
ously wounded; Henry Sherlock, policeman,
shot IN the back, a dangerous wound; Henry
Brown, colored, shot in the abdomen and ia
tally hurt.
The last three were wounded 10 an affray at
the corner Of Sixth and Freeman streets late
last night. Between 30 ana 100 persons took
part IN the fight, which grew out OF an at
tempt by German to arrest negro. Gormau
was shot in the back by sumo unknown person,
and general fusilads followed. The ript
alarm was sounded and the disturbance was
quelled Til after the two policemen and Brown
had been shot.
Besides those injured as above mentioned.
Albert Russell, colored, was killed
Montgomery countV complete gives q Dem
ocratic majority of 595-a Republican gain Of
170O. The Republicans elect their candidate
for sheriff, Mr.. Weir. This is one of the three
counties upon which the Democratic State
Committee depended for their anticipated ma
jority. Their figures showed tie in the re-
naming counties, excluding Hamilton, Butler
and Montgomery. These three counties gave
Headly last year majority of 1910, as follows:
Hamilton, 2529; Butler, 1898; Montgomery,
2288. But thls year Hamilton gives RepuO-
lcsn majority OF 1000; the Democratic major
ily in Montgomery ls cut down below 600; aud
il appears besides that the Republicans have
jority in the other counties sufficient to
more than overcome Hosdly's msjority in
these three.
The Republican circuit judges have been
elected ia the second district by a majority of
$500.
