Hamilton County.
| CINcINNATI, Oct. IA ALTO o'clock this morn
| ing the returns from Hamilton county and even
| from Cincinnati, are not all in This fact is
| cited by both parties as evidence of fraud, and
| both the Commercial Gazette and Enquirer
openly charge the opposite party with fraudu-
lent practices The Enquirer claims that the
| Democrats have carried Hamilton county by
over 1000 majority, electing all their candidates
| for the legislative and county offices. 1t claims
| that the Legislature will be Democratic in both
branches by majority large enough to remove
| all danger and dispute Unofficial footngs from
| 175 of the 208 precincts in Hamilton county give
| Foraker 3l,006; Hoadly. 2S,976; Leonard, SOL
The 1lmes-Star has returns from all the city
! precincts except four which put different phase
| upon Hamilton county. The totals are: Foraker
81, 4S7; Hoadly, 80, 5S4; Leonard. $780, If this is
accurate and it has confirmation from at least one
| other source. it would show that the Republicans
have carried their entire legislative ticket, with
the possible exception of Robert Harlan, who
| runs behind the others.
| The figures given for Hamilton county in a
previous dispatch have been further verified, and
1t is now confidently claimed by Republicans
| that they have elected the entire legislative
| ticket in Hamilton county, except, possibly,
| Robert Harlan for representative; that the Dem
ocrats have elected the clerk, prosecuting attor-
ney and the member of the Board of Control

| The counting of the returns of Yesterday g
election is in chaotic state. In precinct F of
the Nineteenth ward, when the count had pro-
ceeded so far last night that 249 unscratched
Democratic tickets and ifty-six unscratched Re-
publican tickets had been counted, the Judges
stopped their work, and it has not yet been re-
sumed. In precinct D, the box has not vet
been opened since the polls closed last night be-
cause one of the judges holding the
| key cannot be found The precinct which
| is missing last year gave Republican major
| lty OF H. The total vote in precinct F, Nine
| teenth ward. is 494 From these data Republic
| ans claim that Foraker carries the county. The
returns on the legislative ticket not nearly SO
complete, but it appears that it runs ahead of
| Foraker at the rate of two to a precinct. This
will make the legislative vote about 400 greater
than Foraker's. There is no possibility of a
complete report from Hamilton county to-night.
| In one precinct the judges found more than
| 200 votes in excess of the whole number of reg
istered voters in the precinct A feeling of deep
| indignation found expression this afternoon at a
meeting of the committee of one hundred, com
posed of prominent business men of all parties ,
and action was taken looking to prompt and
| fearless prosecution of all offenders One man
begged the committee to omit nothing that could
| be done for the want of money. as he would foot
| all bills, even if they amounted to $50, ,0OO
