Special to the Globe.
CINCINNATI, Nov. Total vote of
Hamilton county on the presidential
ticket gives Harrison 41,741, Cleveland
3S.215. The entire Republican ticket
was elected except Cox, candidate for
county clerk, who was defeated by
2,4SO votes.
Columbus-1nterest in election re-
turns continues great. The bulletin
boards at the Ohio State Journal and
Dispatch offices were watched all day
by crowds of people who seemed to care
little for the rain and mud, but stood
anxiously awaiting the news and dis
cussing it when it was received. Prob
ably the coolest and apparently the
least interested man in the city was
Judge Thurman, who spent his time i'll
the same way he has done for the past
few years, quietly reading in his lib
rary. He was free from opinions as to
the result, and had not been paying much
if any attention to the particulars of the
election. Being asked for an expression
of opinion, he said he had nothing to
say. The two state committees are still
receiving returns from the state and
figuring up the gains and losses. The
Republicans are claiming a plurality of
from $4,000 to 10000, and place their
estimate OH more or less complete
returns from about half the counties in
the state. On the other hand, the DEM
0cratic committee says that complete
or conservative estimates of returns
from twenty-five out OF the lightweight
counties give evidence of Democratic
gain of a little over 5000, and that if
this ratio of gain continues, which they
scarcely dare hope, they will carry the
state. At any rate, they say, there is no
doubt that they have cut down the Re-
publican plurality to small figure.
For congress the Democrats say their
losses balance their gains. and there is
as yet no certainty that they have not
made net gain. They have lost in the
Twenty-eiglith district, but have gained
in the Sixth and fenth.~and are not yet
ready to concede- their defeat in the
Seventh. On the other hand, the Re-
publicans claim a net gain of one, hav-
ing lost in the Tenth and gained in the
Seventh and Twenty-first. These
are the claims. So far as act
ual knowledge or close esti-
mating can tell, the representatives
in the next congress from Ohio will be:
Williams. Rep; Voder, Dem.; Dewey,
Dem; Morey, Rep; Kennedy, Rep;
Cooper. Rep; Hayes, Dem; Thompson,
Rep; Pugsley, Rep; Othwaite, DEM;
Wickham, Rep; Grosvenor, Rep;
Owen, DEM; J. D. Taylor, Rep: Nc
Kinley, Rep; E. r. Taylor. Rep;
Smyser, Rep; Burton, Rep. This does
not include the Sixth district, which is
claimed by both committees. Moody,
in the Seventh, is probably elected, but
the Democrats say that late infor-
nation from Butler county show great
Democratic gains, and OH that account
they are not yet ready to concede the
defeat of Battison. The Republicans
claim Bothman's election in the Sixth
by couple of hundred, while the
Democrats are equally confident that
Saltzgaber has plurality of at least 600
in that district. Exact figures on state
and other officers cannot yet be given.
In this county the Republican candi-
date for prosecuting attorney, Huling,
is the only one of the ticket who has
pulled through. He is the same man
who was leader in the celebrated tally
sheet trials.
COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 1.-THE two COM
mittees are coming closer together in
their estimates of the result in this
state. At IL o'clock the Demo-
cratic committee stated that they
had reports from sixty-six out
of the eighty EIGHT counties
in the state and their gains to be over
5000, leaving Republican plurality of
about 1900. Some Of the strongest
Democratic counties had not yet
been heard from. but the Republican
plurality will be about $4,000. They
concede the election of Morey, Rep, in
the Seventh district and still claim the
election of Saltzgaber, DEM, in the
Sixth, but there is not yet complete in
formation in this last particular. Chair
man Capeller, of the Republican COM
mittee gave out statement at late
hour to the effect that returns from
county committeeman from nearly
every county in the state give Re-
publican plurality of 20,222 on the ma
tional ticket. No figures are given on the
state officers, but they will have prob
ably about the same vote as Harrison.
During the evening an unsigned mes
sage claiming New York for Cleveland
created considerable excitement, and
added great anxiety to the crowd re-
