,e Democrats carry nv about On

returns from all the precincts In Hamilton
county except four, and that all the Repub-
lican representatives and senators have been
elected except Harlan. Latest from Lucas
is that one Republican and one Democrat
representative have been elected.
COLUMBUS, Oct. 14.-The Democratic
state executive committee claims the legisla-
ture on joint ballot by majority of 3. They
say that they have positive information Of
So members in the house and q in the sem
ate. The Republican committee claims 80
members of the house and II in the senate
outside OF Hamilton county with five coun-
ties and four close districts to hear from.
News from Belmont county, which ives
doubtful, says both Republican representa-
tives are elected. This makes the Republic
can total IN the house sixty-one.
NIGHT REPoRF.-The counting of the re-
turns from Yesterdays election is in
chaotic state. In precinct f of the Nine
tenth ward, when the count had proceeded
so far last night that 2S4 unscratched Dem
ocratic tickets and ffty-six unscratched Re-
publican tickets had been counted, the
judges stopped their work and it has not
yet been resumed. In precinct ID the box
has not yet been opened since the polls
closed last night, because one of the judges
holding the key cannot be found. There
are 242 votes in this box, according to the
dial. These two precincts and one in the
country are missing from the tables, from
which it appears that Foraker has q ma
jority of 537 in Hamilton county.
The country precinct which is missing,
last year gave Republican majority of H..
| The total vote in precinct +, Nineteenth
ward, is 454. From this data the Republic
cans claim tnat
FORAKER CARRIES THE COUNTY.
Returns on the Legislative ticket are not
nearly 40 comnlete. hui Il annesrs n ,uns
ahead of Foraker at the rate of two 70 a
precinct. This would make the legislative
vote about 400 greater than Foraker's
There ia no possibility of a comnlete renort
| from Hamilton comfy to-niobt and indaad
nothing can safely he said unon thia county
until he official count is made.
|
| The fact that the judge found in one pre-
cinct more than 2oo votes In excess OF the
whole NUMBER OF registered voters, coupled
with irregularities with reference to the pre-
| cincts above mentioned, has caused a deep
feeling OF indignation. This found express
