IVrom Morning lelltlnn Cicivsati, Oct. 21 The official count hai rccupieil the attention ol rnndidntta and their fliends all day It has been closely watched by laith (arties. During the day the judgea of prccint F, Ninth ward, came In to com complete - plete complete their return. The return which the clerk lound when he came to canvass that vote consisted of a blank sheet nnd a Duckworth club election return blank, with the vote filled Id. Ki Ki-Governor - Governor Ki-Governor Noyes, acting lor the republican cnndidate, protested against permitting a changed return to be received. The clerk, howner, received the return, and Noyes said the matter would be brought before a court. When pre precinct - cinct precinct D, Nlnteenth ward was reached, Kx Kx-Governor - Governor Kx-Governor Noyes prestcsted against Ita being reieiveel because the count of votes did not begin until Weduesilay night, twenty-nine hours nfrter the polls cloeeel. The protest was note 1, and tho precinct canvassed. A protest waa also made by Noyes ngalnst Precinct F, Nineteenth ward, because one Judge and one clerk relused to sign the return', on the grounds that the box had been removed to a station house and the ballots tampered with. The protest waa noted and tho count proceeded. Late in sheatiernoou, Drnusin Wulsln, at attorney - torney attorney lor the republicans, gave notice to the canvassers that he would apply for a restraining order forbidding the count counting - ing counting of precincts in cases where protests had If en made, nnd also forbidding the issu issuing - ing issuing of certiheates ol election to democratic eandidatis lor senator.

This, ol course, will pieventany 0II1 cial announcement tonight, but the board will continue in sersion until the work is completed. Ine republicans were jubilant when the count liegan again this morning and the democrats were correspondingly despondent. Ex-Gor. Noyes, who has all through the count taken a conservative position, stated that if the gain of the legislative ticket over the state ticket be anywhere near what It ha9 been through the eighteen war Is, the entire republican legislative ticket, wiih the excep exception - tion exception ol Harlan, will In elected heyoml a doubt. It was claimed that one of the can candidates - didates candidates lor representative, Mr. Hsder, had already wiped ell' lloadly's majority of 300 in the county and had nine tn spare, while Mr Hicharelson on the senatorial ticket had ouly seventy-three to gain to lie even with the head ol the democratic ticket. It lloadly's msjorit) ia 500, aa it is claimed by democratic poliiiciana, then, of course, the chaneia for the election ol the republican leg legislative - islative legislative ticket nre not good. It will be remembered that in one precinct ol the Fourth ward Mr. Hra Hra-shenrs, - shenrs, Hra-shenrs, democratic candidate for Benator, is given two hundred lewer vitea on the tally sheet that the real of the candidates. He claims these votes, and in all calculations he is given them. II, however, the courts de decide - cide decide that be shall not have them, there is but little doubt as to his being delected, even al allowing - lowing allowing that lloadly's ninjority is 200 more than ihe newspaper figures have beretolore given. The situation this morning was certainly a ier uncertain one, anil gave both sides a good excuse for feeling somewhat anxious. The public, without legard to politics, ia Relive to the importance ol sustaining the hiinds of the Committee ol One Hundred. That this ia so is manilested by the freedom with,whlch all claaaea are responding to the call for aubscriptloua. Mr. Dexter and aclerk appear to be kept buay keeping a record of the amounts receive 1 Irom all kinds of people, )oung aud old, rich and poor, men of busineaa and men of the seieral professions. The names show an encouraging political mixture that should characterize thepeuile'n movement. Where notes accompany donation', they all breathe the aarae spirit, lawleasneas must be supprecsel in Cincinnati, anl we must have a trie and honest ballot. These subscriptions rub from 10 lenta to floO; and Irom mer mer-chauts - chauts mer-chauts Is received with the tubscriplions ollen the statement "It you want it doubled, let us know." The hard-fisted and honest men who regard the ballot aa the guarantee ol the people's sovereignty, are sending In tbeir 50 cents, twenty-ln e cents ami dollar bills. The mere schoolchildren are coulrbutiog their dimes and mcklea, showing that the whole population, gieat and small, regard the present as a crisis, the gang aa public robbers of our dearest rights, and ihe whole situation aa the leBson of the hour, that must 1 be made to teaih criminals reapect for law and the rising generation, that although a vile gang has the city by the throat, public virtue is not eutirely dead. The money received aggregates over $rt 000, and it ia coming in at the rale nt $1,000 a day. Arguments in the manelamiia proceeliugs directed against the judgea and clerks ol elec election - tion election in precinct K, Eighteenth ward, were lie lie-gun - gun lie-gun today before Judge Huchwalter The trouble in this case arises from the refusal ol the republican clerk to certify to the returns on the ground that they are fraudulent.
