F%oRAKER's OPINION.
Judge Foraker, the Governor eject, being
asked to-day what he regarded as the lead
ing motives that lead to the result in
Ohio, said: "First, the Repubh :ans re-
garded It important that a decisive express
sion should be given at the first election
after the beginning OF a Democratic National
administration.
Second, a determination to give An ex.
preston in favor of a free ballot n a fair
count in all our elections.
Third, distrust concerning the free trade
tendencies of the Democratic party, and
maintaining the Republican ~ascendancy in
the United States Senate.
Fourth, disgust with the Democratic
state administration in Ohio, notably the
| election of the last Senator, and the ex'
| travagance of the last legislature.
Fifth, a wish to have the liquor traffic
regulated and taxed as a practical method
OF dealing with the subject and dissatis'
faction with the Democratic position Of
license, which is irRpracticable.
~oUN REPUBLICAN FRAUD.
CINCINNATI, October Is. Irregularities
! and alleged gross frauds in connection with
Tuesdays election in this city has made the
| most profound impression on all classes ol
| well-meaning people. The palpable crime
| of putting more than two hundred votes in
| one box in excess of the registration fol
| that precinct has aroused the deepest in
| %dignation, especiallyin the Germanquarters
of the city. A little meeting, quite private
! was held last night to discuss the plans
| Fiery talk was had and a general under
standing prevailed that steps would be
taken to-day for calling an indignation
meeting. The matter vas discussed to-day
| but no formal call was made. Notwith
standing this, there was a large gathering
about Turner Hall, tonight, and an ap
| plication was made for the hall for the
purpose of holding an Indignation meet
ing. The proprietor took advice and re
fused to open the hall. The men fingered
about the place some time, u%ttering the
most violent denunciations OF the leaders
whom they regarded as responsible Tor thu
violations OF the law, and counsellng sum
mary measures. Others argued in favor o
moderation and urged that the fullest pos
sible support be given to the committee o
Dno h,,plrol which Ic NOW at work nrpN9r
ing for the discovery and prosecution OF OF
tenders against the law. AS there was ne
opportunity to hold a meeting, the crowds
finally dispersed. The police authorities
had a notice OF the proposed indignation
meeting and fearing that it would result al
did the one held at Music Hall to denounc,
the Berner trial, when a mob burned thu
court house, strengthened the force and use6
all precautions to meet such a result. Thu
holding OF an indignation meeting has beer
discouraged by Mayor Smith and by al
who wish peace, but there is d widespread
feeling that some action shall be taken t.
preserve the purity of elections.
BoTH STILL CLAIMING THE sTATE.
