The Result ial Chaos,

CINCINNATI October 4.-The counting of
the returns of yesterdays election is in a
chaotic state. In precinct +, OF the Nine
teenth ward when the count had proceeded
50 far last night that 2S4 unscratched
Democratic tickets and 56 uuscratched Re-
publican tickets had been counted, the
Judges stopped their work and it has not
yet been resumed. In precinct ID the box
has not yet been opened since the polls
closed last night, because one OF the judges
holding the key cannot be found. There
are 242 votes in this box according to the
dial. These two precincts and one in the
country are missing from the tables, from
which it appears that Foraker has d ma
jo..ity OF 5S7 in Hamilton county. The
country precinct which is missing last year
gave Republican majority of IL. The
total vote in precinct F. Nineteenth ward,
is 454. From these data the Republicans
clalm that Foraker carries the county.
The returns On the Legislative ticket are
not nearly SO complete, but it appears that
RUNS AHEAD OF FORAKER
at the rate OF two to ii precinct. This
would make the legislative vote about
1000 greater than Foraker. There il no
possibility OF Il complete report from Ham
iltnn county to night and indeed nothing
can be safely predicted upon this county
until the official count is made. The fact
shat in one rrecnct the judges found more
than POO votes in excess of the whole num-
her of registered voters, coupled with lrreg
uArti.s wit reference to the two precincts
above .ne.ltiuneI has caused deep feeling
Of i tIis snatinn. rn, found expression this
evening at ii meeting of cOnl.llttee com-
posed of 100 prominent husin SO men of
all o ,rties. Actlol was taken looking to
the pr, II ,,t al fearless pros -cut"n OF all
offelI rs. Ole n III begged the CO II nIttee
to onit nothing tnat should b. done for
want OF money, lis he would meet all the
bills even to the extent OF $4,000 II neces-
sarv. to punish and prevent frauds against
the ballot box.
FORAKER S PLURALITY l5.OOO.
roLrMBUs, October 14.-The Republican
State Executive Cuininittee estimates the
plurality for Foraker, Republican, for Gov
eruur, at 20 OOO in case the present ratio
of tain should continue in the returns from
TUESDAYS electi,n. The Democratic Com
mite EXPRESSES the belief that the plurality
viii not exceed 15,OOU, ii it reaches that
figure Governor Hnadley is inclined to
believe that Foraker $ plurality Will not be
more than 10000 or II 900 when the ottl-
cia returns are SCI ureu. Both committees
are still claiming ii majority on JOINT BAL
lot in the LEGISLATURE.
TIE DEN JCRATs CLAIM THE LEGISLATURE.
The Democratic Committee claims that
they have carried the Legislative ticket III
Hamilton county and have reliable lnf"r-
mation that they will have a majority on
ipint ballot. with tifty-six members Ill the
House, sure, and twenty lone In the SENATE.
THE REPUBLICANS ADMIT THE DOUBT.
The RAnub!iran Committees latest estl-
mate is that they will have live majority
OF, innt ballo' outside of Hamilton county,
and in case they should carry that with
hall the other counties and districts, the
House would stand seventy-one Repubil-
cans t., thirtynine Democrats, ana tle
Saoatp twenty-four Republicans to thirteen
Democrats.

mont rm,nty. which was doubtful, Says
