cincls in the stale, comparison viii be
made with the vote for governor in 1888
when Gov. Hoadly was elected by piu-
ralty OF 1869 over J. B. Foraker.

from rain and so far rs can now he told
nearly the fun registered vote was polled
| There were some arrests for fraudulent
attempts to vote and some minor diSur-
dcrly conduct, but in general it was II
peaceable election. The first re-
turns received by telegraph indicated
gains for Foraker When twenty pre-,
cincts had been heard from he had u net
gain of $50 The prohibition vote gives
indications of considerable gains. The
vote for Leonard is irregular. There are
large gains in some precincts with no vote
at all in others. and ii few losses. Full
returns from one ward in Cincinnati. the
Ninth, show exactly the same maj ority as
was given in 1888.
