CINCINNATI. Oct. 11. 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. Th (
day was fine but nearly all places TO
port a light vote and a grout deal o
scutching , In tlijs. ci y tlie"Hk uwfli
never known. A straight ticket is i
curiosity and'so ' tedious is the work o
counting that many precincts will nebo
bo finished by sunrise to-morrow ,
The scratching to-day is terrible am
the returns will necessarily bo ) at <
and incomplete.
10 p. in. 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. Fifty nrecincU give si democratic
gain of 78 ! ! ; republican { tain , 531 :
not democratic pun , 157. This doe. '
not include any in Hamilton county ,
where thu indic.uioiia .ire of slight re
publican gains on the state ticket.
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.

CouJMiius , 0. , October ? 12. Al
112:20 : a. m , democrats concede Foston
election by 8.000 , while tho1 ; rcpubli
cans claim it by 15,000. Tbc legislature
turo is in doubt and depending on the
result in Hamilton county liwhich m-xj
not bo dclorinined until jt inorniw ,
Four hundred nnd thittylhtco wardf
nnd precincts give n not domocaaic
gain of Olfi. Kvory indication is that
the ctoo counties nro ropuhliejui foi

Later returns show that the repub
lican candidates for the legislature
have been elected in MusUcgum coun
ty and in Van Wert. Th'i ' democrats
oven fear that Foster has carried

adjournment will bn possible in twi
or tlirco clays. The president ha *
definitely stated that ho will have no
communication to send to the nonaU
other than nominations. Tlio fact thai
nothing but nominatioiiH were consid
ered at the cabinet meeting to-day
u ml that cabinet ehuimes' won
not referred to is taken tu
evidence by some that nc

Hut , on the other hand , it is sail !
that Secretary Windom told a frionii
