members OF Congress and county officers. The
returns, as sent out by the Associated Press
on the m rning after the elect n,
indicated Republican majority OF $4,000 to IT,
900. Later returns from the same source, how
ever. cut these down to about 100 0. A press
dispatch from Columbus, Ohio says: Complete
but unofficial returns reduce the Republican ma

that the official count will make 1t
about eleven thousand, which reverses the DEM
ocratic majority of last year. but does not show
any such cyclone rs was claimed on the night OF

fight for November with rs much vigor as ever.

press dispatch from Cincinnati says: The
retIrns 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 is that the people are more than
ordinarily arrayed in the two great u rites.
Both the Greenback and Prohibition vote are
comparativeiy insignificant, and the vote was as
distinctly marked # the Presidential ticket
had been bet re the people matter OF great
surprise is the large vote received by the Repub-
hcan can ,idate for Judge OF the Supreme
Court There was gcner belief thai he would
fan far below the rest of the ticket, owing TO
dissatisfaction among the salooa men on ac-
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.
The unexpected feature OF the election is the
German vote, which was cast largely for the
Republican ticket Hamilton, Cuyahoga, Lucas,
Montgomery and Erie Counties, which embrace
large Teutonic populations, show heavy Repub-
lcan gains. In fact, they turned the ttda and
gave the victory 10 that PARTY. Hamilton
Comfy alone shows gain OF 5000 on the
vote OF last year. CuyaliOgn shows n gain OF
nearly 5000, Lucas gain or over 2.0O0, and
Mont gomery gain of ], 200. Both tue Demo-
cratlc and Republican press here agree that the
election I'm Cincinnati was the bloodiest that
has ever been held here. The Democratic papers
assert that the Thousand United States Deputy
Marshals were employed mainly in illuminating
honest voters, while the Republican pr, ss con-
str1Ies the conduct of the police force and the
deputy sheriffs in a similar manner, comparing
IT to the Mississippi policy.
