THE OHIO ELECTION

In Hamilton County, Which the Com,,,,
tee OF One Hundred WIN Investigate.
CINCINNATI, o., October l5.-rh.
counting OF the returns OF Tuesd az
election Is In q chaotic state. In Prec inc,
of the Nineteenth Ward, when IN.
count had proceeded so far Tussd a.
night that 2si unscratched Democra,,s
tickets aud ntty-six unscrItched Repuh'
lican tickets had been counted. IN.
judges stopped their work ana
1t has not yet been opened since Tho
polls closed last night because one q,
the judges holding the key can no, no
found. There are 2i2 votes In this bov
according to the list. These two prs.
cincts and one In the country ars
missing from the tables, from which
1t appears that Foraker has
majority OF 537 in Hamilton County
The country precinct, which is MISSING
last year gave Republican majority of
seventeen. The total vo:e In Precinct
Il (Ninetcenth Ward) Is 45i. From
these data the Republicans claim that
Foraker carries the county. The return,
on the legislative ticket are not nearIy
so complete, but 1t appears that /,
runs ahead of Foraker at the rate of two
TO a precinct. This would make the
Legislative vote about 200 greater than
Foraker. Nothing can be safely pre-.
oicled upon this county until the official
pount Is made.
The fact that In one precinct the Judges
found more than 200 votes In excess
of the whole number OF registered
voters, coupled with the irregularities
with reference 10 the two precincts
above mentioned, has caused a deem
feeling of indignation. This found ex.
preston at the meeting Of the Committee
OF 100, composed Of prominent business
men of all parties. Action was taken
locking 10 4 prompt and fearless
prosecution of all offenders. One man
begged the committee to omit nothing
that should be done for want of money
as he would meet all bills, even 10 the
extent of $50, 900 II necessary, to punish
aud prevent frauds against the ballot
CINCINNATI, O., October l5.--The sit.
uatlon In Hamilton County Is changed,

publicans have somewhat subsidized.
While 1t appeared early yesterday after.
noon as If the major portion OF the Re.

turns Indicate the election OF the
entire Democratic Legislative and
| County ticket by pluralities rang
ing from 100 to 700 with the single
exception of Kunl for County Commis.
soner. The returns, however, are in.
complete, and there is a growing dispo.
stion on the part of Republicans TO con.
| test the election II the official count does
not change the result. The following
| telegram was received this evening from
the Prohibition candidate for Governor:
"The Prohibition vote is all that could
reasona bly, be expcc ed, and Is large
enough to hold balance OF power 10 fu.
| ture elections. The Prohibition party Is
the only one that shows an Increase
over the vote OF last fall. 1t has multi
pli led its vote by three, and will continue
to grow. The next Prohibition campaign
in Ohio begins to-day.

The Enquirer this morning says;
The Republican State ticket is elected
BY plurality much smaller than the first
claims OF the Republican managers.
| amilton County is Democratic, not
wlthstandlng the frauds committed BY
Republican leaders. The Democratic
ticket is elected, with the posi-.
BILE exception OF Treasurer, and
Commissioner. The State Senate Is
Democratic aud there Is a strong proba-
bility that the Democrats will have the
Legislature on joint ballo. though the
majority will be small"
PITTSBURGH, PA, October Is A Gin.
cinnati Commercial. Gazette special SAYS:
"Cleveland aud its county are solidly Re-
publican, terrible blow to the Payne
party. The whole OF the Republican
ticket In the State is elected by
an average OF 5000 votes to
spare. In Cincinnati aud its coun.
ty of Hamilton the Democratic
managers are holding back certain re-
turns with the hope OF doing things In
such WY as to count In certain Demo
cratic Senators aud House members.
They will not succeed, as 1t Il
believed the result will probably
stand IN this county that the
Republican Senator and Representatives
are elected with one exception, which
will give both Houses OF the Legisla'
iure TO the Republican party, with John
Sherman for United States Senator. la
this county, on the county ticket, the
Democrats are successful in the mos'
important Offices"
COLUMBUS, O., October 15.-The
Chairman aud other members OF the
Democrats and Republican State Exec
ntive committees were at their respec-
i've headquarters all day endeavoring tc
cypher out majority on either side IL
the Legislature. There has been moth
ing unusual in the proceedings with the
exception that each has claimed conf-
denlly that they have majority on joint
ballot.
The Democratic Committee steadily
claim they have carried the legislative
ticket In Hamilton County, notwitbstand-
ing the n2ures sent out from Cincinnati
which indicate that the Republicans hav,
elected their entire ticket with the ex'
ception of Harlan for Repre- sentative
Counting Hamilton County solid, tne
Democratic Committee claim the Legs
lature on joint blllot, with flfty-six mem
bers IN the House and twenty one IN ihe

Committee the contests have been close
The Republican Committee claim y
majority on joint ballot without haniil'
