1871: net republican gain of 2499

1877; net republican gain of 2499.
Up to this time bat little is heard from the
legislature. Republican senators have been
elected in the ped district; two republican
representatives in Columbian county and one
in Meigs: one democratic representative in
Tuscarawasa and one in Coshecton. 1t is
impossible yet to compare the sources of
gain OF the prohibition candidate, but close
examination of the returns so fr received
Indicate democratic losses wher there are
prohibition gains. In other wards as far as
can be seen the prohibition vote is drawn
from both parties.
One hundred and ninety-eight precincts
show a net republican gain of 1904. This is
nearly one-tenth of the voting precincts in
the State.
The vote of 1888 with which tonight's re-
turns are compared was: Hoadly, democrat
359 ,693; Foraker, republican. 347 ,l64; Schu-
macker, prohibition, 1852; Hoadly's majority
4l67.
TOLEDO, Oct. IS.
The weather is rainy, but the vote at p.
NJ. is nearly up to the average for a fall
election. Everything passed off quietly.
Both sides claim they will carry the county
for their state ticket and the majority either
way is not likely to exceed 400. There was
much scratching on the county ticket. The
vote today averages 10 per cent less than that
of last year. The prohibition vote was small
in the city and showed scarcely any increase.
The 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 the county
ticket by somewhat decreased pluralities
from last year. The exceptions are Wade
and Puck, the former for sheriff and the
foe
for representative is believed to be elected
by small plurality.
CHILLICoTHE, Oct. l3
Ross county will give $50 republican ma
jority. The republican senator and repre-
senator ran ahead of their ticket and the
whole republican county ticket is els cted.
CLEVELAND, Oct. l3.
The indications are that Foraker has car
ried Cleveland and Cuyohoga counties by
2000 and that the republican county ticket is
elected BY varying majorities. All over the
western reserve substantial republican gains
are shown and in only one town, Oberlin, has
the prohibition vote caused republican loss.
The full vote was polled here. the election
being without incident. The Leader will say
tomorrow morning: 'The whole republican
state ticket is elected by from $1,000 to 49,
600 plurality. The legislature will be repub-
lican on joint ballot with good working ma
jority in both houses, The vote was heavy
and the republicans on the western reserve
came out in full force, every one feeling it
his duty to do all in his power to bring the
country back to republican rule. This re-
suit will secure the election OF a republican
United States senator and the early enact
ment OF law regulating the liquor traffic.
AT midnight MAJ. w. w. Armstrong said ::
81 think the republicans have from $4,000 to
10000 plurality. The legislature is in doubt
with chances favoring republican majority
on joint ballot.
CHICAGO, Oct. l3.
A special to the Inter-Ocean from Colum-
bus, Ohio, says:-"The election in Ohio to-
day passed of without any serious disturbance
although in many section of the State party
spirit ran high, and personal collisions were
only avoided by cooler heads. Party lines
were closely drawn in some localities, but
the scratching has been without parallel in
Ohio elections. In this city the penal brigade
is most formidable, and Myers, the ring can
didate for the legislature, has been defeated
without doubt. There's been cutthroat
game played in the county ticket. Myers
commenced the work of trading, after which
he was cut right and left by friends of the
other candidates. At this hour, 80, the
returns are coming in slowly and unsatisfac-
torily. From the reports thus far received
the republicans have made gains in their own
and the democratic strongholds, with the ex-
ception of one precinct in Hooking, one in
Henry, and one in Huron County. In the
last named the prohibition vote is large. The
State, at this hour,is claimed by both parties,
but the returns are as yet too meagre to form
basis for prediction. Should the repub-
lican gains continue in the same ratio as
those now in, the State may be safely claimed
by the republicans as yet no estimate can
be made as to the complexion of the legisla-
ture."
The Ohio election excitement runs high
here tonight. Several of the clubs and hotels
are issuing telegraphic bulletins and consid-
erable betting is INDUCED in. At the pool
rooms, early this evening, the sales were 10
to in favor of Hoadly's election. At 1890
to was offered that Foraker would be sue
cessful by majority of 5000.
