The Political Contest in Ohio
CINCISNArI. October 16th.-Returns on
the legislative ticket continue indefinite
owing to uncertainty as to the result in
Hamilton county. The Republicans claim
four Senators and nine Representatives in
this county, and the Democrats claim the
whole delegation OF four Senators and ten
Representatives. Only the official count
can determine it. Omitting Hamilton
county, the closest analysis that can be
made is that the Republicans have elected
to the House 58 members the Democrats
Il, doubtful, Stark county /. For the Sen
ate, emitting Hamilton county, returns
show Republicans II, Democrats 16. The
Twenty first District, which is given to the
Republicans IL the above count is not con-
ceded by the Democrats

A BLOODY SHIRT NEARLY CAUSES RIOT.
COLUMBUS, October 16th.-Great excite
ment was created in front of the Demo-
cratic headquarters, on Broad street, at 3
O'Clock this afternoon, and riot was mar
rOwly avoided. Soon after noon some one
about the headquarters caused to be strung

~fle #
being DONE when q man from the Repub-
bcan headquarters grabbed the garment,
and after soaking it with kerosene returned
and burned the shirt in front of the Demo
cratic headquarters, A crowd of several
hundred gathered, and the greatest excite
ment prevailed. CounSelS of the cooler
heads prevailed, and, after much loud talk
and threats, the crowd dispersed The
yelling caused people to leave their bust
ness, while many locked their doors. The
Republicans denounce it as an insult, and
both sides are condemned by the better
citizens for participating in a move which.
in the present political fever heat, might
have led TO great loss of life and property.
CITIZENS COMMITTEE OF ONE HUNDRED
MOVING.
CIyCINNATI, October 16th.-The Execu-
tive Committee of the Citizens Committee
of One Hundred today sent letter to the
President of the Common Pleas Judges,
asking him to summon Immediately n
special Grand Jury to examine into the
violation of the election laws of Ohio,

1000 having already been received.
NEWSPAPER OFFICE IN PERIL.
NEW YORK, October 16th.-The Times
special says of the excitement there over
the fraudulent election returns: The in
dlgnation over the monstrous frauds, which
grew and spread yesterday, has assumed a
depth of intensity which is causing men to
shudder at the thought of the possible
consequence, and On every street corner
are seen groups whose excitement is fast
overcoming their better judgment, and
who are predicting and justitying q resort
to nd the city of the hated gang who have
grown 50 bold in their frauds upon the
ballot-boX. The feeling thus finding open
expression permeates all classes, but Of
course thinking people, while they freely
admit that enough has occurred to cause O
serious outbreak, are hoping that better
counsels viii prevail. and the same end be
reached in lawful way. The feel
ing is the most unrestrained in the
German wards, known locally as
" Over the Rhine" The man upon whom
the indignation centers is John r. Mclean,
of the Enquirer. He is believed to be the
at NIB, L u, H.
mitted, and the one who furnished the
money for carrying them cut. His lieuten-
ants and helpers were the county and city
officers, Commissioners and members of
the police force. Taking fright at such a
spirit which he has seen develODing Nc
Lean began this afternoon to prepare for
the worst. The men whom lie sent out to
learn what was being said and done. re
turned with word that the talk was nearly
all directed against him, and the prediction
was being made that the En07tire, Office
would be burned. They were secured and
organized into strong guard. and they are
tonight picketed at convenient points in
and around the Enquirer building. Tonight
a case of Winchester rifles were taken 10
the building, and put into readiness for
use. As samples of the fraud which have
caused the trouble, may be mentioned the
receiving OF 221 more votes at B Precinct
Ia Fourth Ward polling place. than there
were names registered; the returning OF
only Al Republican votes as cast in Pre-
cinct d, of the Sixth Ward, in which rs
men have been found on a single street
who say they voted the Republican ticket
at that polling place; the stealing OF the
ballot-box in one of the Nineteenth Ward
precincts; the ordering of the Judges and
clerks out of the Third-street police station,
during the progress of the count, by the
Lieutenant in charge, on fimsy pretext,
and the theft, while they were out, of 80 OF
the ballots. and the theft of the KEY to the
ballot-box in another precinct, which de-
layed the count twenty-four hours, during
which time the box was stuffed with fraud
ulent ballots.
THE PRESIDENT MADE THE scAPEGoAT.
New YoRK, October 17th-A. M-The
Worlds Cincinnati special says The Re
publicans have 70 members on Joint ballot,
majority of two, without Hamilton coun-
ty. Reports from there are still contra
dictorv, but the probabilities are that the
Republicans will get most of the delegation
making their majority fifteen. The cleo
tion was lost through the disaffection of the
Democrats, occasioned by the action of the
President. Cleveland has not to-day any
organized followers in Ohio. The new
Administration has taken no root in the
soil, and the issue in the campaign Just
closed was a disastrous and lamentable
failure. 1t may triumph in the long run.
l speak of the situation of to-day.
