FUN Returns showing the Triumph In the
Buckeye state--The Election In West
Virginia Yesterday Republican Gains.

COLUMBUS, Oct. 10.-The Democrats have
| carried the State. The returns received In
dicate majority OF 10000 for Newman,
Democratic candidate for Secretary of State.
Townsend, the Republican candidate, was
badly scratched and ran behind his ticket.
The Democrats also claim ten out of the
twenty-one members of Congress. The
present delegation stands fifteen Republicans
and Eve Democrats, and when the Republic
can Legislature re-districtrd the State last
fall 1t calculated 70 capture the extra Con-
gressman allowed by the census and the
Congressional apportionment. To dor so,
however, 1t was necessary to make several
of the districts much closer than usual and
the Democrats have taken advantage Of It.
Their victory In the State was not utiex.
pected, but the Republicans had q very
efficient organization, and hoped to be ablc
10 pull through. They realized that in the
cities the Democratic vote would be largely
increased on account of the bolt of the Ger
mans, who are usually solid for the Repub-
lican ticket To overcome this they
counted ON accessions from the Prohibition
lists, who cast 16,500 votes last year, and
they also counted on gains In the State.
The canvass was so mixed, however, and the
issues were so varied that neither side could
make any reliable estimate, and thus
1t was that up to the hour when the polls
opened all calculations were the merest
guess work. f..f ~ ltf.
When the returns began to come in to-
night the Republican leaders found that
they had been mistaken on the country and
Prohibition vote. They had not captured
the Prohibition element to the extent that
they had calculated upon, and the returns
from the country showed that the Democrats
had gained there as well as the Republicans.
The Republican State ticket voted for was
this Secretary of State, Charles Townsend;
Judge of the Supreme Court, John II.
Doyle; Member Of the Board Of Public
Works, Charles A. Fliekinger. The Demo-
cratic ticket was James W. Newman, John
w. Okey and Henry s, Weible. Then there
was Prohibition ticket besides.
The victory of the Democrats is princi-
pally due to the Germans, who bolted the
Republican ticket in Cincinnati, Cleveland
and Toledo. There were strong contests on
the local tickets In the cities and much
scratching, SO that the count is very labor
ious. The Republicans held together much
better on their Congressional candidates
than on the State ticket. The great fight
was made on Secretary of State.
The returns from the Congressional dis
tricts are very meagre, but indicate the
election Of the following congressman
