OHIO.

The October Election Results in the Success of the Entire Republican Ticket. Tho election in Ohio on Tuesday, Oct--13, was for State and county officers, for 37 Senators, and 110 Representatives of the General Assembly, and upon four amendments to the constitution of the State changing elections from October to November, and one changing the term of office for Township Trustees. Gov. Hoadly was the Democratic candidate for re-elec'ion, J. B. Foraker the Republican candidate, and Rev. A. B. Leonard tho Prohibition candidate for Governor. The election resulted in the success of the entire Republican ticket, as follows: Governor, J. B. Foraker; Lieutenant Governor, Gen. Kennedy; Treasurer, J. C. Brown; Attorney General, J. H. Koehler; Judge of Supreme Court, T. A. Minshali. The Republicans have also secured a majority of the Legislature, which, insures the re-election of John Sherman to the United States Senate. The following returns, were sent out by telegraph on the - morning following the election; Cleveland.— The whole State Republican ticket is elected by from 16,000 to 18,000 majority. The Legislature will be Republican on joint ballot, with a good working majority in both houses. The vote was heavy, and Republicans on the Western Reserve came out in full force, every one feoling it a duty to do all in his power to bring the country back to Republican rule. This result will secure the election of a Republican United States Senator, and the early enactment of a law regulating the liquor traffic. Another very probable result of the election will be to eliminate third-party prohibition from Ohio politics. Columbus. — Returns come in more slowly than usua’, but there is unusual regularity in the ratio of Republican gains. With over four hundred of the precincts in, the Republican gains have run from 10 to 40 per precinct and averaged 17. At this rate the Republicans will overcome Hoadly’s plurality of 12,000 in 1883 and give Foraker a plurality of 16,000. With the Prohibition vote kept up at its present rate it will reach 24,000, and the largest Prohibition gains are reported in Democratic precincts. It is, however, to be considered that the Republicans, with the better organization. got out their votes in the cities, while in the country, where the feeling seemed most in their favor, the vote was not so fully drawn out. A cold rain fell all day, with no more than a half-hour’s cessation at any time. This did not seem to have helped the Democrats as heretofore. The Germans in all of the cities went strongly for the Republicans, and the colored men, to a considerable extent, pulled with the Democrats. Those figuring at Republican State headquarters claim 20,000’ for the head of their ticket, and no less than 15,000 for the rest of it. The reports from the close counties and districts are in favor of the Republican legislative ticket to the extent that they will have fully forty majority in the lower house and ten in the Senate, but this is estimated on partial returns, especially as to the State Senators. Of the thirty-seven Senators the Republicans claim twenty-one. Cincinnati.— At the close of this report returns had been received from 776 of the 2,017 voting precincts in the State, which gave Foraker (Republican) a total vote 148,972; Hoadly (Democrat), 132,197; Leonard (Prohibitionist), 9,913; net Republican gain. 12,924. The remaining precincts in 1883 gave a Democratic majority of 10,912. In the places heard from we have nothing from Cleveland and nothing from the heavy Democratic wards in Cincinnati.
