The October Elections
A Harbinger of Victory!
The Buckeye State Republican
by $4,000 Majority!
The Democracy Lose Ground
in West Virginia!

Prominent democrats in Ohio conceded
the state to the republicans last night by
10000 majority The republican state com
mittee claimed the state early in the evening
by 1900 plurality, and later returns indi-
Gated majority of at least 1900. The en-
tire republican ticket is said to be elected in
Hamilton county by 1000 majority. Three
hundred twenty-four wards and precincts in
the state show net republican gain Of $50.
Early returns showed decided repubi-
can gain in West Virginia. Later in the
evening the democratic state committee was
quoted as claiming the state by 1900 ma
jority The Wheeling Register democratic
claims only 5000 majority. In 1880 the dem
scratic majority was 15,335.
The result in these two states, so far as
known, is very encouraging to the republi-
sans, and points the way to a sweeping vic
tory throughout the country in November
