CINCINNATI, Ohio, October 13.-At
ten o'clock this morning the returns
from Hamilton county, and even from
Cincinnati, are not all in. The fact is
cited by both parties as evidence of fraud,
and both the Commercial Gazette and En-
| qurer openly charge the opposite party
with fraudulent practices. The Enquirer
CLAIMS that the Democrats have carried
Hamilton county by over 1000 majority,
electing all their candidates for the legis-
lature and county offices, and claims that
| the legislature will be Demo cratic in both
branches by majority large enough to
remove all danger and dispute. An IN
official report from 175 of the 206 precincts
in Hamilton county give Foraker 3l,OO6;
Hoadly, 2S,976; Leonard, S6l.
| 1895 p. NJ. Chairman Bushnell of the Re-
| publican central committee claims fifty
eight members of the house certainly elect
| ed, with six close counties outside of HAM
iton to hear from. In the senate seventeen
Republicans with Hamilton county and
| four other close districts to hear from.
The Times-Star has returns from all the
city precincts except four which put diff
ferent phase upon Hamilton county. To-
tails are, Foraker, S2,4s7; Hoadly, 1854;
Leonard, $50. Ii this is accurate and it has
confirmation from at least one other source,
it would show that the Republicans have
carried the entire legislative ticket, with the
possible exception of Robert Harlan, who
runs behind the others.
Estimates made here On the legislature,
excluding Hamilton county, gives the Re
publicans seventeen senators and sixty rep
resentatives. The legislature is composed
OF thirty seven senators and ITO representa-
tiyes of which seventy-four would be ma
jority on joint ballot, this would make the
legislature republican without Hamilton
county. Chairman Bushnell, Of the Repub-
lican state committee, estimates the senate
to be seventeen Republicans with four close
districts to hear from. The house fifty
eight Republicans with six close counties
to hear from. This excludes Hamilton
county.
The figures given for Hamilton in a pre-
yious dispatch, have been further verified,
and it is now confidently claimed by the re-
publicans that they haye elected their en-
tire legislative ticket in Hamilton county,
except possibly Robert Harlan, for repre-
sentative, and that the democrats have
elected the clerk, prosecuting attorney and
member of the board of control. Com
plete returns for the county have not ct
been made. 1t il charged in one precinct
that there were 200 more votes than regis
tered voters.
2P. M-The democratic state central
committee claims Sc members of the house
with six doubtful counties to hear from, and
q members of the senate. Chairman Bush
nell, of the republican central committee,
at the same time, claims 81 members of the
house, with six close counties to hear from,
also II members of the senate outside of
Hamilton county.
The democratic state committee claims
the election of 81 representatives certain,
and II doubtful, and 81 sure in the senate.
Figures include Hamilton.
TOLEDO, O., Oct. H.-Thirty-seven Of the !
forty three precincts in Lucas county, includ-
ing Toledo entire, and the remaining six,
by the vote of two years ago, give
a Republican majority on the state ticket Of
between 200 and 800. The Republicans
elect ono representative and the Democrats
tho other. The senatorial ticket has about
he same majority az tia state ticket. The |
