THE OHIO ELECTION.
The Returns from Hamilton County
Not Yet Received-The LegiS.
lature Still Claimed by
the Republicans.
Great Indignation Expressed Over
the Alleged Gross Frauds in
Cincinnati.


DAfToS, Oct. 10.
Hoadly's minority in Montgomery county
is 5l3, democratic loss of l715. The pre-
hibition vote is 3l9. Kemp, rep, is elected
by 4l9 majority. Three democratic repres-
entatives are elected.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 10.
There can be no absolute certainty abou,
the result of Tuesdays election in Hamilton
county until the official count is made. The
vote in two precincts of the 10Th ward which
last night had not been couRted, is now being
counted and the result on governor with one
country precinct missing, which in 1884 gave
IL republican majority. stands thus Hoadly
1867; Foraker, 81, ,362; Leonard, 1920
Hoadly's plurality 305.
Returns are far from completion. On the
legislative ticket the Times-Star estimates
that the average vote on the republican men,
bers of the legislature exceeds Foraker's vote
by 1915. If that rate is maintained il will
elect the republican delegation, except Robert
Harlon. Nothing can determine this con-
tingency except an official count.
Since the list of counties claimed by the
republicans for representatives was an
nounced yesterday, there has been two
changes, one in Hancock and one in Knox
county, both elec,ing democrats. The vote
in Knox county is close. There is also doubt
about the result in Williams county, which
has been counted as democratic.
Complete unofficial returns from all the
counties in the State but five give Foraker
pluralities aggregating 52,796 and Hoadly
pluralities of 33 POI ; excess of Foraker plur-
alities 1886. OF the five counties to hear
from Hamilton is doubtful, the other four
democratic.
COLUMBUS, Oct 10.
Up to noon today, neither of the commit
tees had changed their claims in regard to
the legislature, except that the republican
committee comedies the election of Welsh,
DEM, in Athens district, and think Greiner,
rep, in Perry district, if defeated at all, will
be only by few votes.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 10.
The irregularities and alleged gross frauds
in connection with Tuesdays election in this
city. have made most profound impression
on all classes of well meaning people. The
crime of putting more than 200 ballots in one
box in excess of the registration for that pre-
cinct, has aroused the deepest indignation,
especially in the German quarter of the city.
A little meeting, quite private, was held last
evening to discuss plans. Fiery talk was had,
and its generally understood that steps would
be taken today for the calling of an
Indignation meeting. The matter
was discussed today, but no formal
call was made. Notw wthsanding this
there was a large gathering about Turner
Hall tonight and application was made for
the hall for the purpose of holding and indig-
nation meeting. The proprietors took advice
and refused to open the hail. The men lin
gered about the place uttering the most vIo-
lent denunciations of the leaders, whom they
regarded as responsible for violations of the
law Others argued in favor of moderation
and urged that the fullest possible support be
given the committee of 100 which is now at
work preparing for the discovery and prose
ton of offenders against the law. As there
was no opportunity to hold a meeting the
crowd finally dispersed.
The police authorities had notice of the
proposed meeting and, fearing 1t would re-
suit as did the one held at Music Hall to de
nounce the Berner trial when the mob
burned the court house, strengthened the
force and used all the precautions to meet
such a result. The holding of an indigna-
ton meeting has been discouraged by Mayor
Smith, but there is wide spread feeling that
some action shall be taken to preserve the
purity of elections.
Admitting that Hamilton county is about
even and that Brown and Ottawa will give
Hoadly a majority equal to the majority for
Cleveland last year, Foraker's plurality in
the State will be 1859. very little new
can be said of the legislature. The repub
licans claim a representative in Harding
county and admit the election of demo
cratic representive in Stark county. Other
wise the situation remains unchanged.
