The greatest excitement prevails tonight over
the returns from other States, New York COM
handing the greatest attention at both head
quarters. The Democrats are claiming decided
victory on the general result, and are most active
in furnishing bonfres and parading the streets.
The city has been taken possession of by howl
ing masc of people, and in the excitement one
man, William Wickiffe street-car driver, was
shot dead, and another man, farmer,
seriously wounded. Ohio is so decidedly Re-
publican that the returns have commanded but
little attention among the masses. On the re-
turns received up to midnight it is
estimated that the State will go Re
publican by from $4,000 to 10000.
Blaine had a plurality in Columbus Of 572. This
is Republican gain of 1886 over October 1t was
carried by Garfield, four years ago, by 424 The
Republican gains in the State are attributed by
Republicans in good measure to the displeas-
ure of the Germans over the Supreme Court de-
cision on tho Scott liquor law.
