O'Clock this morning the returns from
Hamilton county and even from Gin
cinnati, are not all In. This fact is cited
by both parties as evidence of fraud, and
both the Commercial Gazette and En-
quirer openly charge the opposite party
with fraudulent practices. The En-.
Quirer claims the Democrats have car
ried Hamilton county, by over one
thousand majority, eleciing all their
candidates for Legislative and county
Offices, and claims the legislature will
be democratic in both branches
by q majority large enough to remove
all danger aad dispute. Unofficial re-
ports from 155 of 20s precincts IN Ham,
ilton county give Foraker 31,0O6, Hoad-
ley 28,97e, Leonard, 961.
The Times-Star has returns, from all
CITY precincts except four, which put a
different phase upon Hamilton county.
The totals are: Foraker, 81, 1877; Hoad-
ley, 1854; Leonard. Ss6 If this is &C
curate, and 1t has confirmation from at
least one other source, 1t would show
i that the Republicans have carried the
entire Legislative ticket, with the posi-
BILE exception of Robert Harlan. who
runs behind others.
The Times Star has returns from Ham,
ilton county complete, except four pre-
cincts, showing the following: Fora

Estimates made here ou the legisla-
ture. excluding Hamilton county, give
the Republicans II senators and 60 rep
resentatives. The legislature is com
posed of 81 senators and no representa-.
tives, OF which IA would be a majority
on joint ballot. This would make the
Legislature Republican without HamIl-
ton county. Chairman Bushnell, Ofthe
Republican state committee, estimates
the senate at IL Republicans, with four
close districts TO hear from; the house
50 Republicans, with six close counties

ilton county.
