ments to the Constitution of the State, three of
which relate to changing the State elections
from October to November and one TO changing
the term of Office for township trustees. Gov.
Hoadiyis the Democratic candidate for reelec-
tion j. B. Foraker the Republican candidate,
and Rev A. B. Leonard the Prohibition candi-
date for Governor There are 2 OH voting pre-
cincts IN the State Comparisons are made with
the vote for Governor in 1883, when Governor
Hoadiy was elected by plurality OF Il, 529 over
J. B. Foraker.
The afternoon in Cincinnati was free from
rain, and. SO far as can now be told, nearly the
full registered vote was poed. There were
some arrests for fraudulent attempts to vote, and
some minor disorderly conduct, but in general it
was a peaceable election The first returns
ceived by Associated Press indicate gains for
Foraker. When twenty precints had been heard
from, he had net gain of 359. The Prohibition
vote gives indications of considerable gains.
8P. M-Returns from sixty wards and pre-
cincts show Foraker 6. 683; Hoadly, 6, ,039; Leon
ard, 69I; net Republican gain. 948. The vote
for Leonard is irregular. There are large gains
in some precincts, with no vote at all in others,
and few losses.

give Foraker total vote of 10,S04; Hoadly,
1928; Leonard $780, net Republican gain, 979.

One hundred and fourteen wards and precincts
give Foraker IL, i,627 votes; Hoadly. 1377S Leon
ard l,29l; net republican gain, 1,67l
1t IS impossible yet TO compare the sources OF
gain of the Prohibition candidate, but a curSory
examination of the returns SO far received indi-
cate Democratic losses where there are Prohibit
ton gains; In other words, so far as can now be
seen, the Prohibition vote is drawn from both
parties: 13l precincts give Foraker, 20 375;
Hoadly. 10, 9l9; Leonard, 2, 13l; net Republican
gain. 2, l31.
One hundred and sixtv-five precincts give
Foraker, %, 093: Hoadly, 21O09; Leonard, 1877;
net Republican gain. 2. 499 Up to this time but
little has been heard from the Legislature
Republican senator has been elected in the
Twenty-s second district, two Republican repre-
sentatives in Columbiana county, and one in
Meigs; one Democratic representative in Tusca
rawas, and one in Coshocton
AT Toledo the vote averages 10 to Is per cent
less than that of last year. The Prohibition
vote was small IN tho city, and shows scarcely
any increase Returns are coming in very
slowly, on account of the large number of
scratched tickets, but the indications that the
Republicans have elected most of their county
ticket by somewhat decreased pluralities from
last year. the exceptions are Wade and Puck,
the former for sheriff and the latter tor repre-
sentative Baumback, Republican, for repre-
sentative, is believed to be elected by small
plurality.
One hundred and ninety-eiehr precincts show
one-tenth of the voting precincts in the State.
Three hundred and thirty precincts in the
State show net Republican gain of 4,S27.
Ross county will give 80 Republican ma
jority. The Republican senator and representa-
tive run ahead of the ticket, and the whole Re-
publican county ticket is elected.
Eighty five precincts from Hamilton county
show Republican majority of 1853.
The Republican gain in Erie county, three
fourths of which has been heard from, is 600.
ChamnalOn Opa-half heard from

eight precincts 30l; Clarke county, seven pre-
cincts. 2O; two precincts of Lucas county show
Republican gain of 209.
The Republicans elect a senator in the Four
teenth district and Representative in Washing
ton county
Five hundred and four wards and
precincts in the State give a net
Republican gain of 7,777. If the same ratio OBJ
tains in the remaining precincts, Foraker's pu-
raity will be about 5000 Private dispatches
from Columbus say Charm an Bushnell, of the
Republican committee, makes this estimate, and
that the Democratic committee comedies Hoadly's
defeat.
AZ f.-1light Major w w Armstrong, of the
Cleveland Plaindealer, said Il think the Re-
publicans have from Is 600 to &c, 600 plural
ity The Legislature is in doubt, with the
chances favoring Republican majority on joint
ballot
The Republican State central committee
claims to have elected representatives IN Madi-
son. Adams, Delaware, Morrow, Morgan, Wash
ington, Ross, Athens Cuyahoga, Fulton, Green,
Lawrence and Van Vert counties, and senators

din county. Returns from 754 voting
precincts in the State give Foraker 143, 727,
Hoadly, l28, 635. Leonard, 961I. Net Repub-
lican gain II, 652. This includes more than one
half of the State. An analysis of the vote shows
that the Prohibition candidate has gained Dem
ocratic votes.
Hamilton county is in doubt, with the chances
in favor of the Democrats. Several of the judges
refused to complete the count tonight. The
portion not heard from gave Eoady majority
of 2, $40 two years ago.
At the close of this report, returns had been
received from 776 of the C17 voting precincts in
