F0RAKER'S AWFUL FALL.
PART OF THE REST OF HIS STATE
TICKET MAY HAVE WON.

Later Returns Indicate that the Bulk
OF the Republican Scratching Was
Directed Against the Governor -
Of1cial Figures Nay Have to be
Awaited Before the Result is Def
initely Known.
COLUMBUS, O., NOV. THE indications
based on figures received to-day at the re-
publican and democratic headquarters ar
that the republicans will elect all their eau
didates on the state ticket with the excep-
tion Of Gov. Foraker, and possibly the
lieutenant governor The republican
committee sent out kilograms to the county
chairmen for the vote on the respective
candidates in the counties, and they have
heard from thirty-six out of eighty-eight
counties. The returns show that in these
counties the balance of the ticket, without
much variance in figures, has received IL $50
votes more than Gov. Foraker, or rather
the head Of the ticket has run behind that
much on these figures.
WHAT HE MUST HAVE.
1t is estimated that Campbell must have
plurality of at least 1900 In order to
insure the election of the balance of the
democratic ticket, and the republican COM
mittee does not think his plurality will be
over 10000. 1t is believed that Watson for
attorney general, and Hester for clerk of
the supreme court, will run about 1000
ahead Of the balance of the ticket, not
counting the head Al the democratic
headquarters it is conceded that Campbelps
plurality will have to be 1000 in order to
save Marquis, and that the balance Of their
finrat ia in Thay
however think that Campbel's plurality
will reach $4,000 or 14,000, which would in
sure the election of the entire democratic
ticket.
OFFICIAL FIGURES MAY HAVE TO BEwAITED
FOR.
The EUening Dispatch says: 1.-THE con-
test Is SO close according to the estimates
made on the meager figures at hand that II
may require the official figures to decide
the contest. Unofficial returns from all of
the eighty-eight counties except Ashland,
Geageau, Ottawa and Paulding give Camp
bell plurality of 8, ,240. The missing coun-
ties in 1887 gave Powell, dem, 430 plurality,
which would give MIR. Campbell $3.50.
VERY CLOSE AND UNCERTAIN.
The returns show that all the candidates
below lieutenant governor ran about 10, 900
ahead of the ticket In four counties alone.
certain, with a strong probability that some
of the republicans may pull through.
Lampson, the republican candidate for
lieutenant governor, was badly cut
by the liquor interest of Gin
cinnati. Here he was charged
with being prohibitionist, while on the
reserve. in the vicinity of his home, where
the prohibition sentiment is strong, his
| sentiments were known TO be in favor OF
moderation and regulation as against pro.
| hibition. He was placed between two fires
and to this Is attributed the small vote
received by him compared with the other
republican candidates.
NEAL GOES TO CELEBRATE.
Chairman Neal, of the democratic com
mittee, left for his home in Hamilton this
afternoon to attend a jolli1cation meeting
tonight. The committee received but
| little information during the day as to the
state ticket, but concede that 1t is very
close, and that unless Campbell's plurality
runs above 0,000 the chances are in favor
of the republicans. They have hopes, how
ever, that the ticket is safe, but can
give no figures on the result further than to
say that the average gain for the ticket in
| fifty counties is about $50. which, IL it keeps
up, will elect the entire ticket. While the
| figures are yet meager, the election of the
| republican candidates for treasurer, attor-
ney general and school commissioners is
regarded as certainty by the republicans.
The official vote is coming in and the result
will be ascertained by tomorrow.
THE REPUBLICAN CLAIM.
COLUMBUS, O., Nov. z, IL p M.-The fol-
lowing was given out from the republican
headquarters at 10 o'clock tonight: I'VE
have returns from the entire state, showing
the election of Judge Dickman, Attor-
ney General Watson, State Commis-
sioner Brown, Member of the Board Of
Public Works Hahn, School Commissioner
John Hancock and Clerk of the Supreme
Court Hester by pluralities ranging from
$500 to 5000. We believe Lampson is elected
lieutenant governor. but the race between
him and Marquis was close, and Lampson's
plurality will be small. 1t will require the
official vote to obtain the exact plurality of
the republican candidates"
