do so with propriety, allow me to offer
my congratulations, and assure you it
will give me pleasure to extend you every

ment of your administration.
]. B. FORAKER.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, November 6.-Unot:
fetal returns from sixty-four counties in
Ohio give Campbell a plurality of S,9O5
The four remaining counties, Ashland
GeOnga, Ottawa and Paulding, gave
Powell a plurality in 1887 of 1870
CLEVELAND, o., November 6.-Com-
plete returns from Cleveland county give
Foraker 90, ,4O3 votes and Campbell 49,
16S. Foraker ran from 800 to l 800
votes behind his ticket. In fact, he was
cut by republicans in nearly every one OF
the 100 precincts i'll this county. Eight
republican candidates for the general as
cral assembly were elected by ample plu-
ralitics, and the results i'll this county, all
things considered, met the expectations
of Governor Foraker's friends. Innorth-
Crn Ohio the democrats lost and gained
votes i'll spots. In Summit county, OF
which the 1ourisling city of Akron is the
capital, the republican loss was some
thing like |, 100. Akron is manuiaC-
turing city, and the tariff was made
more or less an issue there. Late this
evening the impression prevails here, and
it is based on Il careful review of all the
returns now at hand, that the demo-
Gratis have Il majority of two in the
house OF representatives, and possibly a
majority of two i'll the senate. If this
should prove to bc the case, a democrat
will succeed Henry Is. Payne in the senate
OF the United States. The senatorial cleo
!. ton will occur i'll January, 1890.
Ohio has been known as republican
State when all the republicans voted, vet
1t has never been represented at Wash
ington by two republican senator's. Sen,
ator Sherman has always had a demo
cratic colleague, and now Payne, who is
very old man, and who SAYS that he
will not be Il candidate for reelection,
will be followed by another democrat
CoLuMnuS, Ohio, November 6.-Thc
democratic State committee is claiming
the election of Campbell by plurality OF
10000 or $4,000, and the rest of the
ticket by pluralities ranging from 1000
to 5000. These conclusions are reached
from meagrc returns, and mostly by
estimates, but are believed to be re-
liable within range of the pluralities
which are given.
The republican committee has nothing
upon which they can reliably dispute the
figures, further than they do not
think the plurality Of Campbell will
reach over eight or ten thousand,
and that the rest of the State ticket
will not he elected by more than two
or three thousand plurality. Both
committees and chairmcn seem to be
agreed that the democrats will carry the
Legislature in both branches. 1t is not
probable the figures as agreed upon as
to membership will be changed from
that which has already been announced,
though i'll some of the counties they do
not have conclusive information. From
the best at hand, gathered from both
headquarters, the house will stand 6l
democrats and SO republicans, and the
senate 10 democrats and II republicans.
This would give the democrats a major
ity of ten on joint ballot.
