The woathci to-day is delightful and a much fullei vote than was expected will bo polled No such scattering wa over known ai shows itself and the work of counting will bo long and tedious. Icsidc ! republican , democrat , proh bltion am greenback ticket , A dozen or BO so ciutioj , nationalities and special inter ests have tickets mostly selected fron candidates on regular tickets. Tin chief element of interest on the stati ticket is the prohibition vote as i comes mainly from republicans am much depends on the magnitude o this clement. COI.UMIIUH , 0. , October 11. Tin weather is very fine. The vote police in the wards up to 11 a. in. show tha the total vote will fall 15 per cent. / full vote , ho-vover , may bo got on later. The election o the entire democratic ocratic ticket seems conceded. Tin republicans made the hardest fight ot sheriff and probate judges , but thpii own candidates are German and Irisl respectively , and the trading thui caused makes for the benefit of demo crats. Uookwalter is accounted af runnimc well , but no enthusiastic views of his election are heard. Tin republicans place Foster's majority ai 150,000 , provided the temperance voti docs not exceed 12,000. CINCINNATI , O. , October 11.

At this hour but few voting places have reported and these indicate democratic gains. There if an uneasy feeling hero among repub licans. Scratching has oc.cn so gen- eial with republicans that it is be lieved that nearly the whole demo cratic county ticket in Hamilton coun ty is elected. At the Lincoln clnl there is a feeling of fi'iir that tlu liquor vote and temperance dissatis faction has po siby | defeated the re publican state ticket. The first twelve voting precincts rcpoited show .1 democratic gain of ! ( ! ! ) , republican gain 88. Democratic net gain 81 , CINCINVATI , October 11 10:50 : p. in.

CiNoiNNAxr , October 11 At 11 o'clock returns from 78 precincts in rill parts of the state , including G in Hamilton county , show a not demo cratic gain of 448. Lndlows vote ( temperance , ) so far about two pel cent , of the whole which will run it t > j about 10,000 in the stato. The re publicans believe that with full re turns Foster will bo elected by 10,000 majority. 11:35 : p. m , Only eleven precincts - cincts in this county , Those show a net republican pain of seven on the state ticket. Nash , chairman of the central committee , claims the state for the republicans by 18,000 , but the democrats do not concede over 7,000. Returns very meagre , being from 225 plncus in various parts of the stale. CINCINNATI , October 11. midnight. At midnight 1GC wards and precincts - cincts are reliably rupoited. These show a net democratic gain of 73. There are 2,232 wardj and precincts in the state which , at this r.ite , will give Bookvyaltor a not gain of les than 4,000 , leaving Foster's majority over 14,000. The temperance vote re ported in thoBu wards is ! ) GO , out of a total vote of 41,252. Tlio vote of the Etato will probably roach 050,000 , The temperance vote of .tho state will hardly roach 15,000 , CINCINNATI , October 12.At 1 a. in , , returns are very meagre , but enough to indicate that Foster's ma jority is not far from 15,000 and the remainder of the republican state ticket about the KIIIIIO , In Hamilton county the count will bo in progress till daylight but there is little scratch ing on tlm state ticket and Foster's majority will probably roach 1,200. A demoratio judge and ( moor two can didates are probably elected throu"ii ° republican scratching. It looks as if Iho loaisliituro will bo roptibltmn , but may depend on Hamilton county , which is til ! very uncurtain. CINCINNATI , October 12 , 1:35 : a. m.
