majority 5,0UU, estimated on last years
vote, but 1t is likely to Ge less at this
election. The Republican plurality
will therefore be not far from TO-
161, and may fall below that figure.
The returns from the Ohio election
| show that Ontsile of Hamilton county
the Republicans made no real gains In
fact, in the rest of the Safe they lost
generally, and If Hamilton county d
not helped them out they would have
had no plurality worth meDtiOni0g.
Where the Democrats did lose, outside
Of Hamilton county, it was in the cOuu
ties that usually gave heavy Democratic
majOrlties. In Crawford county, for in

Fairfield nearly 100, in Holmes 100, in
Richland 100, ia Auglalz 250, and 80 on.
Generally speaking, the Democrats
gained in the Republican counties.
The Western Reserve Democrats did

tar of the northwest, apathy, or some
thing worse, seems to have prevailed,
resulting in decreased Democratic ma

Toe labor vote made itself felt in par

CuyshOga and Clarke counties; but it

The Democratic campaign ran itself.

MEAGER INFORMATION,
COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 4.--There is con
siderable disgust at the committee
rooms and among politicians over the
handling of election returns. The COM
Dlete vote has not been made up In more
/ than ten counties, and In not single
Congressional district. Everything ap-
pears to be mixed up and badly manag-
ed. This Is due to the removal of head
quarters fNr making up returns from
COlumbGa TO Cincinnati. When
the . vOt1 >S"Was received here
| accurate h%lre9 on counties,
Congressional districts and the State
were given out the night Of the election
and on the following day, and the cause
for this is found In the fact that both
executive committees are located here,
and as fast as the vote was received 1t
! was compared and calculated by expert
enCed clerks In the committee rooms
who are anxious to get the final results
as soon as possible. Complaint is heard
on every hRnl about the small amount
Of information that can be obtained.
The committee know nothing, as
the returns were all sent to Cincinnati,
where they are evidently not handled as
they should be. The present state of af-
fairs is strong argument for the re-
turn Of headquarters TO this city where
the committees are located and where
the vote can be handled by entrusted
parties Of experience.
There has been no change In the stu
ti0n to-day. Indications still point to
the election of fifteen Republican Con-
gressmen and six Democrats.
CAUSE OF MoRRIsoN's DEFEAT.
WATERLOO, ILL, Nov. 4.-ColOnel WILL
lam R. Morrison tonight In response to
inquiries as to the causes of his defeat,
says: Jarrett, the tin plate emi5sary
of Pennsylvania and other prOtectlOnists
protesting to represent the Knights of
Labor and other labor interests, were In
the district ten or more days, just before
the election, hiring and briDing such as
could be hired or bribed, and continued
to consolidate In Bakers interest most
of the labor element, In proof Of which
hiring and bribing we have Jarrett's
letters. While this was going on, Baker
was declaring for a pure ballot. Mr..
Hewitt's interview as telegraphed to the
st. Louis P0st-Dispatch, falsely repre-
senting me as standing In the way of
tariff reductions, facilitated Jarrett's
mission of bribery In the interest of pro-
tectiOnists, but 1t ia all right If the
blood Of the martyrs Is still the seed Of
the church."
