The political clubs adjourned at
o'clock satisfied that they will have to
await the patient work of Industrious
clerks and newspaper men to ascertain
the exact result in Hamilton county.
The last report received at the
clubs showed in 1876 precincts in
Hamilton county a democratic gain
of 1883 which upon the assump-
ton of q continuance of the same
ratio would INDICATE a plurality for
Mckinley of 5000 The Blaine club
which has been examining the legisla-
tive ticket estimates t1at the entire
legislative ticket of the republicans
will be elected by from 1000 to 1000.
Democrats probably elect the entire
ticket ia Montgomery county, including
the legislative ticket; one or two minor
offices may be close. Mckinley ran
ahead of his ticket and the soldiers at
Dayton gave him l, 46O plurality, which
is handsome gain
At 2;l5 a, m. the force engaged in the
receipt of election returns from Ohio
closed with this showing from 692 pre-
cincts outside of Cincinnati: Mckinley,
111,O11; Campbell, 90. go; Ashenhurst,
4,645; Seitz, 3,O42. Last year the same
precincts gave Ryan, 1O3, 255; Cromley,
95,O51; Lockwood, 6,O1s; Curtis, $50
This shows net republican gain of f.
$50, which still indicates a plurality of
upward of $4,000.
Returns from the legislative candi-
dates had been received at 1:3O with
definiteness only from Clarke, Hancock,
Har. lin, Lucas, Paulding, Ross, Willow,
Wood, Porte, Erie and Montgomery
counties. OF these all but the two last
named elected republican members to
the house. Williams county, which
last year was democratic by 500, gave
DR.. Williams, republican, a majority of
