The Legislature Still Claimed by the
Republicans Without Hamilton
Foraker's Majority.

CINCINNATI, O., October 14.-At 10
o'clock this morning the returns from
Hamilton county, and even from Cincin-
natl are not all in. This fact is cited by both
parties as evidence of fraud, and both the
Commercial Gazette and che Enquirer OPEN
ly 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 Legis-
lature will be Democratic in both branches
by a majority large enough to remove all
danger of DISPUTE. Unofficial footings
from 175 of the 20S precincts in Hamilton
county give Foraker 81 l,006; Soadly, 2S,-
976; Leonard, S61.
THE SITUATION IN HAMILTON COUNTY.
The Tinaes-Star has returns from all the
precincts except four, which put a differ
ent phase upon Hamilton county. The
totals are: Foraker, S2,4S7; Hnsdiy, So
5S4 Leonard, SS6 If this tIhsiiss is accurate. and
1t has confirmation from at least one other
source, it would show that the Republi-
cans have carried their entire legislative
ticket with the possible exception of
Robert Harlan; who runs behind the
Others.
LEGIsLATIvE ESTIMATES,
Estimates made here on the Legisla-
ture, excluding Hamilton county, give the
Repabl:oans IL Senators and go Repre-
sentatives. The Legislature is composed
Of 8? Senators and ITO Representatives,
OF which, "a would be majority on Joint
Republican without Hamilton county.
Chairman B shnell of the Republican
STATE Committee estimates: Senate, II
Republicans, with four close districts to
hear from; House, 5S Republicans, with
six close counties to be heard from. This
excludes Hamilton county.
DEMOCRATIC ESTIMATES.
The Democratic State Committee claims
the election of fifty-one members Of the
House of Representatives certain and
twelve doubtful, and twenty-one sure in
the Senate.
The figures given for Hamilton county
in a previous dispatch have been further
verified, and it is now confidently claimed
by Republicans that they have elected the
en- ire legislative ticket in Hamilton county
except; possibly, Robert Harlan for Rep
resentative, and that the Democrats have
elected the clerk, prosecuting attorney and
the member Of the Board of Control. The
complete returns for the county have not
yet been made. 1t is charged that in one
precinct there were 200 more votes than
registered voters.

HAMILTON COUNTY IN A CHAOTIC STATE.
The counting OF the returns of yester
days election is in a chaotic state. In PIE
cinct F of the Nineteenth Ward, when tn
count had proceeded SO far last night tina
2S4 uns cratched Democratic tickets and 81
unscratched Republican tickets had beer
counted, the judges stopped their work
and it has not yet been resumed. In pre-
ciEct D the box has not been opened sine
the polls closed last night, because one O
the judges holding the key canno
be found. There are 242 votes i,
this box, according to the dial. Thes
two precincts and one in the country ar
missing from the tables, from which it ap az
pears that Foraker has majority OF 81
, in Hamilton county. The country pre-
cinct which is missing last year gave Re
publican majority of II. The total vot
in Precinct F, Nineteenth Ward, is 454
From this data the Republicans claim this
Foraker carries the county. The return
t on the Legislative ticket are not nearl
30 complete, but it appears tbs
it runs ahead of Foraker .
the rate of two to a precinct. This woul
make the Legislative vote 400 create
t than Foraker. There is no possibility of
complete report from Hamilton county tC
4 | night, and indeed nothing can be safel
predicted upon this county until th
, official count is made. The fact that
d ore precinct the judges found MOI
than 200 votes in excess of the who
g number of registered votes, coupled wit
the irregularities with reference to the tw
precincIs above mentioned, has caused
