of the police force and Deputy Sheriffs in
a similar manner, comparing it to Mis-
sissippi politics.

Democrats concede 10000.

UNOFFICIAL TOTAL RETURNS.
The total unofficial returns from Hamil-
ton county, received this morning, show
the following pluralities on the State and
Congressional ticket: Robinson, Rep, for
Secretary of State, 2,25S; Johnson, Rep,
for Judge of the Supreme Court, 1857;
Flickinger, Rep, for the Board of Pub
lie Works, 3,147; Butterworth, Rep, in
the First district, for Congress, 1926;
Brown, Rep, in the Second district, for
Congress, 2,0S7. The Greenback State
ticket averaged 81. The Prohibition vote
averaged "a. The total vote in the county
was 72,075.
PARTY LINES RIGIDLY DRAWN.
The returns received from all parts of
the State are uniform in showing an in
creased vote. In many places the in
crease Is very marked. Another feature
shows that the people were more than Or
dinarily arrayed in the two great parties.
Both the Greenback and Prohibition par
ties were comparatively and
the vote was as distinctly marked as if a
Presidential ticket had been before the
people. A matter of great surprise is the
large vote received by the Republican
candidate for Judge of the Supreme Court.
There was general belief that he would
fall far below the rest of the ticket, owing
to the disafectiOn among saloon men on
account of his opinion on the Scott liquor
law; but contrary to expectation he ran
with the rest of the ticket, and in Hamil-
ton county his vote is greater than that
for Robinson. Clarke county, it is esti-
mated, will give 2,300 Republican ma
iority and Sciota county about 700, with
Judge Johnson leading the ticket.
Athens county gives Grosvenor, Rep,
for Congress 1000 majority. Bellaire
shows a slight Democratic gain. Galien,
Kent, Coshocton, Lancaster, Mansfield
and Somerset counties also show small
Democratic gains. The Republicans are
jubilant. Crowds are upon the streets,
and upon the least provocatiOn shout and
sing. wagon appeared with hand or
gan and flag and was followed by
crowd of shouting people. The appear
ance Of Ben Butterworth, Congressman
elect from the First district, near the
post office, attracted large crowd. He
was lifted up and carried some distance
by his enthusiastic supporters. He was
followed by cheering throng until he
left the street.
Unofficial reports from the Third district
elect Campbell, DEM, to Congress over
Morey, Rep, by majority of AL.
Coshocton county complete, % pre-
cincts (unofficially) }, gives Robinson a net
cratic majority to TO. johnson and
Flickinger ran ahead of Robinson.

night. Complete returns have been re-
