4 press dispatch from Cincinnati saws: The
returns received from all parts Of the State are
uniform In showing an increased vote. In many
places the increase Is very marked, Another
feature shown IL that the people are more than
ord inarily arrayed in tho two great parties
Both the Greenhack and Prohibition vote are
comparatively insignificant, and the vote was -
distinctly marked AS II the Presidential ticket
had been before the people. matter OF great
surprise Ii the large vote received by the Repnb-
lican can iidate for Judge OF the Supreme
Court There was gcner belief tina. he would
fall far below the rest OF the ticket owing to
dissatisfaction among the saloon men on &C
count Of his opinions ON the Scott liquor
law. On the contrary, 1t appears he has been
carried fully up with the remainder OF the
ticket. and here in Hamilton County
his vote Is greater than that for Robinson.
Tie unexpected feature Of the election IL the
Republican ticket. Hamilton, Cuyahoga, Lucas,
Montgomery and Erie Counties, which embrace
large Teutonic populations, show heavy Repub-
lean gains. In tact, they turned the tide and
gave the victory TO that party. Hamilton
County alone shows a gain of 5000 on the
vote of last year. Cuyahoga shows gain OF
nearly 3.ooo Lucas a gain OF over 1910, and
Montgomery gain Of 100. Both the Demo-
cratic and Republican press here agree that the
election N Cincinnati was the hlooaiest that
has ever been held here. The Democratic papers
assert that the thoasSnd United States Deputy
Marshals were employed mainly In illuminating
honest voters. while the Republican press con-
strues the conduct of the police force and the
deputy sheriis in a similar manner, comparing
10 to the Mississippi policy.
