largest vote ever polled in the state,
consequently the returns will be slow
and very late.

oCRATIC
Committee, says he thinks their ma
iority will be about 1000 or the State
:. ticket, and that they viii carry the
Legislature. The Republican Com
mittee expects to elect the Governor
by a few hundred, but coHcedes that
depends on the results in Cincinnati
and Cleveland. The returns are SO
