CINCINNATI, O., October 15.-The
counting OF the returns of Tuesdays
election Is In chaotic state. In Precinct
f of the Nineteenth Ward, when the
count had proceeded so far Tuesday
night that 2S+ unscratched Democratic
tickets and flfty-six unscratched Repub
lican tickets had been counted, the
Judges stopped their work and
polls closed last night because one OF
the judges holding the key can not be
found. There are 242 votes in this box
according to the list. These two pre-
cincts and one in the country are
missing from the tables, from which
it 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 vote in Precinct
f (Nineteenth Ward) is 45t. From
these data the Republicans 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 precinct. This would make the
/
Foraker. Nothing can be safely pre-.
oicted 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 dcer
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
looking to 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 to the
extent of $50, 900 If necessary, to punish
and prevent frauds against the ballot
CINCINNATI, O., October 15.-The sit.

publicans have somewhat subsidized

County ticket by pluralities rang
ing from 100 to 700, with the singh
exception of Kuhl for County Commis
sioner. The returns, however, are in
complete, and there is a growing dispo
, sition on the part of Republicans to con
, test the election II the official count doe
not change the result. The following

, the Prohibition candidate for Governor
: "The Prohibition vote is all that coul
/ reasonably be expected, and is larg
enough to hold balance of power in fu

the only one that shows an increas
over the vote OF last fall. 1t has multi
piled its vote by three, and will continu

in Ohio begins to-day.
