menting on the result ia Hamilton county
says " is the Outgrowth OF the Sunday ques-
tion. Saloon legislation did not seem to be
the disturbing thing, but rather the bad ad
ministration of the Sunday law was the
ause of the discomfort among the Germans.
The estimate at midnight is that Camp.
bell will carry Hamilton county by over
5000.
Four hundred and sixty-three precincts in
Ohio outside of Hamilton county give For
aker 669'6, Campbell 63, ,l6l, Helwig 1884.
The same in 1887 gave Foraker Go, 1SS, Pow
ell 5S,365, Sharp 3,532.
The Enquirer claims the election of Camp
bell by q slight majority, but comedies the
election of the rest of the state ticket. AS
TO the legislature, ii is in doubt Six hun
dred and fortyeight voting places in Ohio
outside of Cincinnati give Foraker 100, lO5
Campbell 90, lS4, Holwig 5,05S. The same
places in 1887 gave Foraker 9S061, Powell
SS,511, Sharp 5, 40
Cincinnati complete gives Foraker 25662,
Campbell 3l,il4. Campbelrs majority is
6,0S9
CLEVELAND, Nov. 5-Early this evening
as returns came in from various precincts
throughout the state it became evident that
the prohibjtionists were gaining, which
meant n loss to the republicans. 1t was also
observed that the labor party had lost
heavily over its vote of two years ago, an
indication OF Il marked gain for the demo-
Gratis.
The election was very quiet. The day hore
was marked with no adventure The re-
publicans generally felt sure that Foraker
would be cut here and thereby cautious citi-
| zens who think two terms in the gubernator-
ial chair enough for any mau and by others
who do not nor never will believe that he
was faithful TO Sherman in the last conven-
| tion.
The democrats felt confident that Camp
bell would suffer atthe hands of those MEM
bers of his party who swear by eX-Presideht
Cleveland aud taritf reform. All this com
plicated the situation and the republicans
were prepared for Foraker's election by a
plurality of 10000 or his defeat by plural
ity not quite so large, perhaps.
The whisky question cut no small figure
in the contest The impression prevailed
| that the brewers distillers and dealers gen.
orally were democrats this autumn and
many members of the democratic party in
favor of restricting the liquor traffic were
quite content to vote the republican ticket
| and to thus defeat the supposed pur-
amend the present liquor laws.
Here again was another complication
and there was indeed ''no logic OF the situa-
tion." 1T was plain case of unfathomable
uncertainty.
At 1890 the republicans feel positive of
having the legislature, which if true means
republican United States senator instead of
Henry b. Payne. In the western reserve
the republicans have gained almost in every
county, ana if Foraker is defeated the south.
COLUMBUS, o., Nov 5.-The election here
was one of the most quiet ever experienced
in the city. The polls did not close until
p. m.
Chairman Neal. of the democratic state
executive committee, claims Campbell q
election by from 5000 to 10, 900 plurality.
AS to the legislature he is in doubt. He
thinks, however, it may be democratic on
| joint ballot The entire legislative ticket in
Hamilton is claimed by the democrats. and
gains elsewhere.
Ex-Chairman Cappeller, feels confident
that Foraker IS elected. He does not con-
cede Hamilton to the.democrats by more than
1900 votes. and says the democratic gains
elsewhere in the state must average five and
one-half votes to elect Campbell. He is sure
| the republicans will gain in the country dis
trlcts. The republicans claim they have the
| legislature surely.
1870 u. m--Later returns seem to assure
the republicans a majority of the Legislature
on joint ballot. The republican state central
| committee has issued the following: 1.-The
republican state executive committee claims
the election of the legislature and state
ticket except Governor Foraker, who is II
doubt If the republican counties in the
Western Reserve and other parts of the
state hold up to expectations Foraker will
pull through by small majority.n
