The news was unexpectedly favorable, In spite of the fact that the Prohibition vote was larger than most had calculated on. General Grcsvenor, Congressman front the Athens District, was particularly interested In the Legislature, very gratifying reports as to Republican gains coming tn from time to time. He estimated at midnight that the Republicans had threefifths of the Legislature on joint ballot. As to the State ticket, tt had now become only a question of figures. The Cincinnati returns were stilt slow. The Lincoln Club claimed an average majority for the eutire ticket of *0,000. That Is not likely to hold out. It will be late before it is definitely settled.

McLean said: “I know nothing as to the State, but I am Inclined to think the Democrats have carried Hamilton County.” The crowds on the street were getting thinner, but were still mixed In composition, though the Republicans were getting more and more jubilant, and the Democrats were gradually transferring their Interest to local candidates. \i__ Fa ply Facts sad Figures.
