A BIG VICTORY IN OHIO.
THE REPUBLICANS THROW UP THE
SPONGE AT NOON.

-
The Legislature Also Carried by the
Democrats, and Will Return a Dem
cratic Successor to Senator Payne
Foraker Tenders His Down-Hearted
Congratulations TO Governor Elect
Campbell.
COLUMBUS, Nov. 6.-The republican state
committee at o'clock this afternoon con-
ceded the election of Campbell as governor,
and admitted that the legislature is demo
cratic in both branches. At o'clock this
afternoon Gov. Foraker sent the following
telegram:
COLUMBUS. O., Nov. G, 1889.
TO Hon. james E. CdmDbeu Hamilton, o..
10 the tull extent that a defeated candidate
can DO so with propriety, allow me Co offer my
congratulations, and assure you that it will give
me pleasure to extend you every courtesy can
SHOW you in connection with your Inauguration
and the commencement of your administration.
j. b. FORAKER.
CLEVELAND FOR FORAKER.
CLEVELAND, O., Nov. 6.-Complete re-
turns from Cleveland and Cuyahoga county
give Foraker 20, ,403 votes and Campbell
10, l6S. Foraker ran from 800 to ], 500 votes
behind his ticket; in fact, he was cut by the
republicans in nearly every one of the 100
precincts in this county. Eight republican
candidates for the general assembly were
elected by ample pluralities, and the results
in this county, all things considered, met
IN NORTHERN OHIO.
In Northern Ohio the democrats lost and
gained votes in spots. In Summit county,
OF which the fiourishing city of Akron is
the capital the republican loss was some
70 bro x.xfo Kf,,
ing city, and the tariff was made more or
less of an issue in the campaign there.
Late this evening the impression prevails
here, and it is based on a careful review of
all the returns now at hand, that the demo-
Gratis have majority of two in the House
of Representatives, and possibly majority
of two in the Senate.
MEANS A UNITED STATES SENATOR.
Ii this should prove to be the case a
democrat will succeed Henry B. Payne in
the Senate of the United States The SEN
atorial election will occur in January,
1890. Ohio has bsen known as a republican
state when ali the republicans voted, yet it
has never been represented at Washington
by two republican senators. Senator Sher-
man has always had a democratic col
league, and now Mr.. Payne, who is a very
old man and who says that he will not be a
candidate for reelection, will be folio we'd
by another democrat.
CLAIMS OF THE DEMOCRATS.
The democratic state committee is claim
ing the election of Campbell by plurality
of II, 900 to Is 900, and the rest of the ticket
by a plurality ranging from 1000 to
5000. These conclusions are reached
from meager returns, and mostly
by estimates, but are believed
to be reliable within the range of pluraluies
which are given. The republican committee
has notbpg upon which they can reliably
dispute tie figures, further than they do
not think that the plurality of Campbell
will reach over 5000 or 10, 900, and that the
rest of the state ticket will not be elected by
more than 2, 900 or 5000 plurality.
THE LEGISLATURE.
Both committees and their chairmeu seem
TO be agreed that the democrats carry the
legislature in both branches. 1t is not
probable that the figures as agreed upon as
to membership will be changed from that
which has already been announced, though
in some OF the counties they do not have
conclusive information. From the best at
hand gathered from both headquarters the
House will stand Sixty-one democrats and
fifty-three republicans, aud the Senate
nineteen democrats and seventeen repub-
licans. This would give the democrats a
majority of ten on joint ballot.
NEARLY ALL HEARD FROM.
Unofficial returns from sixtY-four
counties in Ohio give Campbell plurality
of 1906. The four remaining counties,
which are Ashland, Geauga, Ottawa and
Paulding, gave Powell plurality in 1887 of
430.
