Two Republican Wards In Columbus Thrown
Out-RaseAlity Rampant.

Out-RRseAllty Rampant.
.CoLUMUus, O., October l7.-Feeling Is
getting at fever heat over the narrowing
contest touching the Legislature. To-day
the returns OF the Fourth and Thirteenth
wards were thrown out in the official can.
yass because the Judges bad not properly
filed in the tally sheets to tell what ward
or precinct it was, and had neglected to
certify 10 the same. 1t is charged openly
on the streets tonight that this was no
mistake, but an intentional omission.
These are the two strong Republican
wards, and the organizations OF the pre-.
tCincts were Republican. This will give
the Democrats two Of three Representa-
tiyes from this county and elect the DEM
ocratic ticket, except Allen o. Myers, for
Representative, agrinst whom the major
ity Ia 1856, in county that usually gives
1000 Democratic majority.
The Democrats have the returning
boards in all OF the other close counties,
as well as in Hamilton. As the official
counts have been made in Lucus and Har-
din, the Republicans are practically sure
of member from each OF these; but
there will be trouble over the Hardin
county case where the Republican mem
ber's plurality is only %. The Democrats
have both members from Stark county,
and II they now get two in this county and
all OF the Hamilton county delegation,
there will be Republican majority OF
only two an joint bollot. The. Democrats
are still claiming the Senator from the
Montgomery -Preble district, and as they
have the returning board there, and the
Republican candidate for Senator claims
40 plurality on total vote Of 5000, there
is likely to be- a change.
Then the Democrats claim that one Re-
publican men bsr-elrct from Muskingum,
and another from Cuyahoga, are not
eligible; that the one is not citzan and
the other holds another offics. 1t is be-
lieVed by many that certificates will be
held back, and that the Democrats may
get certificates OF election issued SO that
they will havH maj lrity OF one on joint
bsllot. The Republican State Committee
to-day sent representatives to Cincinnati.
II that county is ooInted for the Demo-
Gratis, then It is believed that Sherman is
beaten, as the programme Seems to be
working in other counties.

Committee of Oae Hundred.
CIScISSArI, Oct. 1.-THE efforts Of the
cooler headed citizens to repress the
threatened violence overthe election seem
to have succeeded, at least fJr the present.
The Gil ial count will begin on Monday
morning, and will be very closely watched,
and It Is the general opinion that any at
tempt at that time to make any chanRee, or
10 carry out any evident fraud, will be
fraught with much more danger to the
peace OF the city than at any time threat
ened during the past week. The feeling
can hardly be exaggerated. This IL par
ticularly true OF the better class OF people,
who see little hope for redress through
legal channels. When an injunction
against Dalton was talked Of, to prevent
hIs making the count, 1t was sneerCd at,
and the remark was dehlntly made that
such an ir junction would not be obeyed.
The Committee OF Ole Hundred we're
unable 10 get their warrants served by the
police, and to-day, in the police court,
charged Colonel Hudson, Chivfot Police,
with contempt Of court in not making the
arresta. Hethrew the blame on his lieuten-
ants, aud they in turn made excuses that
they did not know, the men could not
find the persons charged, etc, when in fact
some OF these persons are already on the
police force, some were sworn in AS specials
on election day, after the warrants were
issued and sincl, and all are well known
and easily found. Such things have come
very near Convin0ing the people that they
can find relief only by taking the law into
their own hands,
The Committee OF Oae Hundred is get
ting arrests made through constables, Two
being made to-day. The committee is re-
ceiying large sums OF money now. Sew
eral secret meetings were held IN different
places last night, said to he looking
toward the formation OF secret organ'za-
ton TO take charge Of matters US last re-
sort, but nothing can he ascertained, be-
yond the fact that the meetings were
held.
John Birmingham and John Torney,
two Of the Democratic judges Of election,
Of precinct A, Fourth ward, were arrest
ed this afternoon on warrants charging
them with Illegally counting the vote.
Tie policeman who made the arrest
was at once suspended by ln-
Rpector Mullen, who was in the Magls-
trate's office atthetime they were brought
in. Frank Kelly, Chief Deputy Sheriff
and son.in-law Of Sheriff Bsrestord, was
arrested this afternoon on the charge Of
procuring illegal votes. 1t Is alleged that
Kelly led q gang Of repeaters on election
day.
