Foraker of Hamilton county, which
gave him a plurality of 1000 at the
election two years ago, has been large
ly effected by detection in the German
Republican wards. The loss in a
single precinct in some OF these wards
amounts to more than 200 votes. This
result was not expected 10y the Repub-
Glicans. While the losses OF Foraker
were not confined to these wards,
they are not much more marked than
in any other portion of the city. -
Returns also show that especially
in the German wards the head of the
ticket was the thing most severely hit
by Republican scratchers.
The Commercial Gazette, comment
ing on the result in Hamilton county,
says it is an out growth of the Sunday
question. Saloon legislation did not
seem to be the disturbing element, but
rather had the administration of Sun
day laws been the ~cause of discomfort
among the Germans.
COLUMBUS, Nov. 5.-Chairman Neal,
of the Democratic State Executive
Committee, claims Campbelps election
by from 500 to 500 plurality. As
to the legislature he is in doubt. He
thinks, however, it may he Democratic
on joint ballot.
COLUMBUS, Nov. 6.-The Democratic
State committee is claiming the cleo
ton of Campbell by a plurality of
from IL, 900 to 5000, and the rest of
the ticket by pluralities ranging from
1000 to 5000. These conclusions are
reached from meager returns, and
mostly by estimates, but are believed
to be reliable and within the range of
the pluralities which are given.
The Republican committee has moth
ing upon which they can reliably dis
pute the figures. The committee,
however, does not think the complete
figures will be sufficiently favorable to
save any part of their ticket. Both
committees and chairmen seem to be
agreed that the Democrats will carry
the legislature in both branches.
Governor Foraker was asked this
evening if he had anything to cay as
to the causes which led to the result,
and he said: Il greatly regret the re-
suit, of course, but have no COM
plants to make OF anybody or any.
thing. have no time or disposition
to discuss the causes. The newspapers
will no doubt do that better than l
can. l have sent Mr.. Campbell the
following telegram, aud 1 sincerely
wish him successful administration !:
Hon. James E. Campbell, Hamilton,
o. To the fullest extent that a de-
feated candidate can do so with pro-
priety, allow me to offer my congratu-
lations, and assure you it will give me
pleasure to extend to you every cOur-
tesy I can show you in connection
with your Inauguration and the COM
mencement of your administration.
J. b. FORAKER"
Mr.. Campbell sent Governor Foraker
the following reply this evening:
To Hon. J. B. Foraker, Governor of
Ohio: = Permit me to thank you most
heartily for the cordial telegram just
received. accept with appreciation
your tender of courtesies upon the
OCCASION referred to.

CLEvELAND, Nov. 6.-The Republi-
cans in Cleveland are in retirement
this evening. Foraker ran from 800
to ], 800 votes behind his ticket here
abouts; in fact, he was "cut" by Re
publicans in nearly every one of the
precincts in this county.
Late this evening the impression
prevails here that the Democrats have
a majority of two in the house of rep
resentatives and possibly a majority of
two in the Senate. IT. this should
prove the case Democrat will succeed
Henry B. Paine, alsoa Democrat, in
the Senate Of the United States.
