morning. at not receiving las We are
disappointed at not being able TO fur
nl-hj the decisive figures in regard to
Pennsylvania and Ohio elections. The
telegraph, whose ways like those Of
providence are mysterious and past
rinding ont, shut down on Us las; night
at halI-past nine O'Clock, with per-
yerseusss which the anxiety for news
makes very provoking.
We have little inconclusiye figuring
from Pennsylvania. The Philadelphia
Age OF yesterday claimed msjority
for ShaTswood. the Democratic candi-
date for the Supreme Court, OF over I'VE
thousand, while the Press on the other
hand claimed few hundred majority
for williams, the Republican candi-
date. The latest edition Of yes
tsrday's Pittsburgh Gazette, which
went TO press at three o'clock
yesterday morning, contains n Phila-
delphia despatch giving the majority
Tor Williams at about ,2sG. 1t also es-
timate~ the following for the state
Legislature: Senate Republicans,
nineteen; Democrats, eleven; doubt
fuI, three HOuse-Republican tiGty-
four; Democrats. fouy-one; doubtful,
tye.
Another estimate telegrsphed from
Harrisburg gave the composition OF
the Legislature as follows: Senate
Republicans. tweuty9 Democrats, thir-
teen. e-Republicans, finy-hve

These. however, are but estimates.
The contest is so close that only the
official returns will furnish result To
be depended on. That return from u few
counties, appears in our dispatches this
morning, but only enough TO he tantal'
Izing.
In regard TO Ohio we know absolute
lyno more than we did twenty-four
hours ago, so far as Geographic infor-
nation goes. But the news OF yesler-
day morning is strengthened and am
plihed somewhat by the Cincinnati
papers OF yesterday. After giving the
returns from Columbus in full
the Commerce idt says:
General Hayes is certainly elected
Governor. by IA majority of between p
900 and 5000. We give below the ma.
ioritics Cmostly Officially for Governor,
in seventy one counties OF this State.
The Democratic majorities III these
seventy mine counties is I,226. OF the
remaining seventeen counties, of which
no return Is made, all but four are Re-
publican, aud, two years ago. gave Cox
"A net majority of g,I59. Deductiug
Thurmnu's majority in the seventy.one
counties, there remains IA Republican
majority OF 1903 to be overcOme-or, in
other words, To elect Thurman, there
would hav. 10 he in each OF the seven
teen counties Il Republican loss OF $50.
Several OF these uurepOrted counties
are in the Western Reserve, where the
Republican loss Ia much less than else
where In the Stale
The strong Republican counties on
the Reserve have turned the scale and
secured the election OF General Hayes
for Governor, by majority variously
estimated at from 800 to 5000. The
Democrats have elected nineteen Sen
ators: the Republicans eighteen; and in
the House the Democrats have fifty
four aud the Republicans htty-one-
giving four Democratic majority on
joint ballot, and presenting seat in the
United States Senate as an apple oil
discord tn becnntested for by Thurman,
PendIetou, Nallandigham, Ranney,
Jeweii, and others.
The Garettc publishes carefully cor
rected" returns from all the counties in
the state which figure up majority for
Hayes OF isis. The Gd-ette says his
election "is established beyond ques-
tIon." The Gazette estimates the Sem
ate the same as the Commercial, but
gives the Democrats ST in in the House
TO 40 Republicans. SO it seems pretty
clear that while we have Hayes for
Governor, Nallnndigham secures the
Legislature.
From love we have what under the
circumstances is good news. She
stands by her Republican principles
with majority of 1900.
p. S.-Aner writing the foregoing we
received the special from Columbus
which appears ut the head of our tele-
graphic column. announcing the cleo
ton OF Hayes by a majority of three
thousand. The dispatch comes from an
authentic source. The positive an
nouncement that the Legislature il
Democratic is a serious drawback on
the GubernatoriRl victory; but small
fayors are thankfully received. We
console ourselves and our readers with
the reflection that since it is no better
we're glad it's no worse.
