The Election In Ohio.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, Oct. l8.-There was
rain last night all over the state, and it ia
raining some now.
The precincts in Cincinnati are divided so
that no more than 300 or 400 voters are in
any one. The election in the city began
without any disorder. Up to 10 a. m. no
arrests had been made. Two causes are
contributing to this fesult-the division of
the precincts and tho rain, which prevents
crowds from collecting. All the judges are
provided with printed lists of what are con-
sidered fraudulent registers, snd the voting
is watched with care.
The rain all over the state last night and
this morning will doubtless have the effect
to cause light vote throughout the state
The rain ceased here between IL and IL
o'clock, but the sky is not entirely clear.
The vote at II o'clock showed it to be fully
up to the average. Good order has been
maintained, though drunken men are to be
found at some of the places, in spite of the
state law requiring all places where intoxi-
eating liquors are sold to be closed on cleo
ton day.
COLUMBUS, Oct. 13.-The election is pass
ing off quietly with the indications that a
light vote will be polled. 1t has rained all
morning and it is believed that should it
clear the main part of the vote will be
brought out this afternoon. Neither state
committee has any information of the re-
suit, except that the rain is general and that
fair vote is being polled.
CLEVELAND, Oct. 13.-The election is
progressing in a favorable manner. The
new registry law is great success and a big
vote is being polled. The morning is wet
and disagresable, but Notwithstanding the
electors turned out in great numbers. The
Democrats and Republicans both claim the
day. 1t is impossibea at this hour to predict
the result
NIGHT REPORT.
CINCINNATI, o., Oct. 13.-The election in
/ Ohio to-day was for state and county of
| fcers, for thirty-seven senators and ITO rep
resentatives to the general assembly, and
upon four amendments to the constitution
\ Of the state, three of which relate to chang
ing the state elections from October to No
vember, and one to change the term of
Office for township trustees.
| Governor Hoadly is the Democratic can
didate for reelection, j. b. Foraker, the Re-
publican candidate, and Rev. A. b. Leonard
| she prohibition cannidate for governor.
There arc 2,0l7 voting precincts in the
state. A comparison will be made with the
vote for governor in 1888; when Governor
Hoadly was elected by plurality of l., 592
over j. B. Foraker.
The afternoon in Cincinnati was free from
rain and so far as can now be told nearly
the full registered vote was polled. There
were some arrests for fraudulent at
tempts TO vote and some minor dis
orderly conduct, but in general it was a
peaceable election. The first returns reeeiv-
| ed BY the associated press indicated gains for
Foraker. When twenty precincts had been
heard from he had net gain of 259. The
prohibition vote gives indications of consid-
cradle gain.
$50 D. m.-Returns from sixty wards and
precincts show Foraker 1888. Hoadley, g.
039; Leonard 697; a net Republican gain Of
948 The vote for Leonard is irregular
large gains in some precincts and no vote a,
all in others and few losses.
900 p. m.-Seventy-eight wards and vot-
| ing precincts give Foraker total vote Of
10000; Hosdley, 1928; Leonard; s5s; ne,
Republican gain of 979.
Full returns from one ward in Cincinnati
the ninth, show exactly the same majority
as was given in 1888. One hundred and
fourteen wards and precincts give Foraker
1852 votes, Hoadly 1878, Leonard 1921
Net Republican gain, 1,6I1.
1t is impossible yet to compare the sources
of gain of the prohibition candidate, but on
examination of the returns so far received
indicated that the Democratic losses is where
there is prohibition gains in other wards
So far as can now be seen the prohibition
vote is drawn from both parties. One hun
dred and thirty-one precincts give Foraker
20,375, Hoadly, 1879; Leonard, 2,131
Net Republican gain III.
One hundred and sixty-6ve precincts
Foraker, 25,09O; Hoadly $1,000; Leonard,
1877. Net Republican gain 2.499. Up to
this time but little has been heard from the
legislature. A Republican senator has been
| elected in the Twenty-second district, two
representatives in Columbiana county and
one in Meigs; one Democratic representa-
tive in Tuscarawas and one in Coshocton.
1873 precincts show net Republican gains OF
1904. This is nearly one-tenth of the vot-
ing precincts in the state.
| Chas. Warman was drinking in Mrs. Dew
oto's saloon, corner or Sixth and Broadway,
tonight, with number of men. a quar-
rel began and Warnan was stabbed and
killed on the sidewalk outside. Lincoln
Slattery, one of the crowd, has been ar
rested.
Three hundred and thirty precincts in the
state show anet Republican gain of 1880.
CLEVELAND, Oct l3.-The indications
are that Foraker has carried Cleveland and
Cuyahoga county by about 1000 and that
the Republican county ticket is elected by
various maiorities. All over the western
reserve substantial Republican gains are
shown and in only one town (Oberlin) has
the prohibition vote caused q Republican
loss. A full vote was polled here, the cleo
ton being without incident.
TOLEDO, Oct. 13.-The vote to-day aver
ages ten TO fifteen per cent. less than that of
last year. The prohibition vote was small
in the city and showed scarcely an increase.
Returns are coming in very slowly, on ac-
count of the large number of scratched
tickets, but the indications are that the Re-
publicans have elected most of their county
| from last year The exceptions are Wade
and Puck, the former for sheriff and the
latter for representative.
Baumbeok, Republican, for representative,
is believed to be elected by small plu-
rality.
CLEVELAND, Oct. 13.-The Leader will
say tO-moIiOWy buob tuo Wucic btbsC Ato-
publican ticket is elected by from 1900 to
$4,000 plurality. The legislature will be
Republican on joint ballot with good
working majority in both houses. The vote
WAS heavy, and the Republicans on the
Western Reserve came out in full force,
every one feeling it duty to do all in his
power to bring the country back to Repub-
lican rule.
This result will secure the election of Re-
publican United States Senator and the
early enactment of law regulating the
liquor traffic. Another very probable re-
suit of the election will be TO eliminate the
third party (Prohibition) from Ohio pol
itics.
MARIETTA, Oct. 13.-The republicans
elect senator in the l4th district, and
representative in Washington county.
CLEVELAND, Oct. 13.-At midnight Ma
ior Armstrong, OF the Plsindealer, said
III think the republicans have from 1900
to 10000 plurality. The legislature is in
doubt, with chances favoring republican
majority on Joint ballot"
COLUMBUS, Oct. 13.-The Republicans are
iubilant with bands and bon-fres tonight
over election news. The Democrats are
correspondingly quiet and receiving the
results with good grace. Chairman Powell
of the Democratic committee comedies the
election of the Republican state ticket by
from 1900 to 10000 majority, and thinks
they have carried both branches of the legis
lature. Governor Hoadly thinks the Demo-
Gratis may have saved the senate. The Re-
publican executive committee claims the
election of Foraker by from 1900 to 10, 900
plurality, though the complete returns may
make it moro.
CINCINNATI, Oct. l3 -504 wards and pre- |
cincts in the state give net Republican gain
of7,777. II the same ratio obtains in the |
precincts Foraker's majority viii |
be about 600. Private dispatches from !
Columbus say that Secretary Bushnell, of
the Republican committee, makes this esti-
mate, and that the Democratic committee
Hoadley's defeat.
The Republicans claim to have elected
in the following additional
counties: Athens, Cuyahoga, Delaware,
Fulton, Green REV. b. W. Afnett. colofedl,
Lawrence, Morgan, Morrow and VanWert.
The Republicans elect two senators In
