tenth Ward, when the count had pro-
| ceeded so far last night that 284 unscra.ched
| Democratic tickets and Sc unscratched Re-
| publican tickets had been counted, the
| Judges stopped their work, and it has not
yet been resumed. In precinct d 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 424 votes in this box according 10 the
dial. These two precincts and one in the
country, are missing from the tables, from
which it appears that Foraker has a ma
| jority of 537 in Hamilton county. The
county precinct which is missing last wear
gave Republican majority of IL The
| total vote in precinct +, of the Nineteenth
| Ward, is 454. From these data the Repub-
| licans claim that Foraker carries the
county. The returns on the legislative
ticket are not nearly so complete, but
it appears that it runs ahead of Foraker at
| the rate of two to a precinct This would
make the legislative vote about 400 greater
| than Foraker's. There is no possibility of
a complete report from Hamilton county
| tonight, and indeed nothing can be safely
| predicted upon this county until the official
count is made The fact that in one pre-
cinet the judges found more than 200 votes
in excess of the whole number of registered
voters, coupled with the irregularities with
reference TO the two precincts above men
| toned, has caused deep feeling of indig-
nation. This found expression this after
| noon at meeting of the Committee of One
| Hundred. composed of prominent business
men of both parties. Action was taken
| looking to the prompt and fearless prose-
cution 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 to the extent of $1,000,
! if necessary, to punish and prevent frauds
| against the ballot-box.
WHERE THE PROHIBITION VOTE CAME FROM
New YORK, October 14th.-A Columbus
| (0hio) special to the Commercial says: The
| largest Prohibition gains are in Democratic
| precincts, thus showing that the Demo
cratic leaders, who tried to make cat IS
paw Of the Prohibitionists, have been seri-
| ously burned. The Republicans, with their
better organization, got out their vote in the
cities, while in the country. where the feel
ing seemed most in their favor, the vote
was not so fully drawn out. A cold rain
fell all day, with no more than half an
hours cessation at any time. This did not
seem to have helped the Democrats. AS
heretofore, the Germans in all the cities
went strongly for the Republicans The
colored men TO a considerable extent polled
with the Democrats. Clevelands friends
are much depressed by the Republican vic
tory. They do not disguise the conviction
that it will have bad effect on the Demo-
cratic canvass in New York. 1t will be
remembered that Hoadly declined to be
candidate for denomination, and that he
visited Washington and was persuaded to
take the field by the direct solicitation of
the President.
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
New YORK, October 14th.-The Posts
leader says According to present ap-
pearances, the Ohio Democrats have got
their thrashing. The majority against
them may not be large, but it is sufficient.
They have misused the advantages which
the fair fame of Cleveland's administra-
ton placed IN their hands by failing to in
dOrse his civil service policy and treating it
with ill-disguised contempt or open hos
tility. They went into the campaign with
no issue that appealed to the popular de-
sire for reform of any sort The spoils
system and the liquor interests were their
main reliance in the campaign. Governor
Hoadly was better than his party, but his
ability and good character were overborne
in public estimation by his surroundings
and outweighed by the bad conduct of the
Cincinnati Enquirer gang. 1t is a surprise
to be told that the Prohibition vote was
portion as from the Republicans. 1t will
be well to wait some further testimony on
IthiS point. One of the consequences of the
election will be the return of Sherman to
the Senate. He Will thus have an oppor-
tunity to introduce bill to reduce the
representation of the Southern States in
Congress in proportion as he thinks the
colored men are disfranchised. We shall
await the details of this measure with deep
interest. Another consequence. and a hap
pier one, will be to make the punishment
of the spoils Democracy in New York more
decisive than it would otherwise have been.
Hill represents a half-concealed hostility to
President Cleveland's policy, which domi-
mated the Ohio Convention in August He
stands for the spoils system and will fall
with it"
The lfaa and Express says The results
in Ohio will put new life, energy, vigor and
hope into the Republican campaign in this
State. They will be worth at least 10000
votes to the New York Republican ticket,
and perhaps twice that number. They
show the vitality and strength of the Re
publican party under bold, aggressive Re
publican leadership. They are tremendous
blows at the Administration of Cleveland,
whose candidate Judge Hoadly was.
Boston. October 14th.-The Journal re-
joices over the result in Ohio, and saws
Inc election OF the Republican Legislature
Is matter OF national Importance, since it
makes certain the reelection of that life
long, steadtast Republican leader, John
Sherman. In every way the result is of
the greatest importance to the Republican
party.
phAoohAls IN WASHINGTON SURPRISED
NEW YORK, October l4th.-A Post Wash
lngton special says The result IN Ohio was
a great surprise to the Democrats here.
various oihcldis seem quite at loss to fur
nlsh satisfactory explanation, as they had
oeen led to believe from the advices which
they received that the Republicans would
| certainly lose and not gain on the vote of
| 1888. Democratic officials generally choose
| 10 assign only TWO possible reasons for the
defeat First, the Germans of Hamilton
county were dissatisfied with the local gov
eminent in Cincinnati, and determined to
defeat what they call the ring Second,
the Prohibition vote, which seems to have
considerably increased, drew as much from
the Democrats as from the Republicans.
Muldrow, Assistant Secretary of the In
terror, says; think it is to be explained
by the fact that the Prohibitions ranks were
swelled from the Democracy. Prohibition
IS becoming very important factor in cleo
tons in the South, and judge that ii has
been in Ohio this time
No one has succeeded in obtaining any
