FEATURES OF THE VOTE.
CINCINNATI. Oct. 15.-Returns receiv-
ed from all parts Of the State are uniform
in showing an increased vote. In many
places the increase is very marked. An
other feature shown is that the people
are more than ordinarily arrayed in two
great parties. Both the Greenback and
Prohibition vote is comparatively iusig-
uificant, and the vote was as distinctly
marked as if the Presidential ticket had
be before the people. 1t is a great sur.
prise that so large a vote was received
BY the Republican candidate for supreme
Court. There was general belief tn
he would fall far below the rest of the
ticket, owing to the disaffection among
the saloon men on account of his opin>
ions on the Scott liquor law. On the
contrary it appears he has been carried
fully up with the remainder of the tick
ct, and here in Hamilton county his
vote is greater than for Robinson.
