HOW OHIO WENT.
Returns Not All in, but the Republican
Ticket, Except Governor, Elected.

The Ohio democratic committee received but
little information yesterday as to the state
ticket, but concede that it is very close and that
unless Campbell's plurality runs above 10 600 the
chances are in favor of the republicans.
The following was given out from the repub-
lican headquarters at 10 o'clock last night: I'VE
have returns from the entire state showing the
election OF Judge Dickman Attorney General
Watson, State Commissioner Brown, Member
of the Board of Public Works Hahn, School
Commissioner John Hancock and Clerk OF the
Supreme Court Hester, by pluralities ranging
from 2,5O0 to 5000. We believe Lamson is
elected lieutenant governor, but the race be-
| tween him and Mr.. Marquis was close and Mr..
LamsOn's plurality will be small. 1t will re-
quire the official vote to obtain the exact plu-
rality OF the republican candidates"
CHAIRMAN NEAL FOR THE SENATE.
Col. Jas. L. Neal, chairman of the democratic
state committee. was in Cincinnati yesterday
on his way to his home in Hamilton. During
his stay in the city he was the recipient of amag-
nlficont ovation at the hands of the democrats.
Prominent members of his party called at his
hotel and assured him that he was the choice
OF the democracy for the United States senator
ship. and said he would have the support of
the Hamilton county delegation. He received
kilograms which led him to conclude that the
| republican ticket, outside of Foraker. might
pull through, but that the legislature is demo-
| cratic by seven In the house and two in the
senate.
WHAT JOHN R. M'LEAN DOES NOT SAY.
In Philadelphia yesterday an Inquirer re-
porter found John r. Mclean perched on the
edge of table in his rooms at the Bellevue
and swinging his legs while he talked. He
calmly disclaimed any especial information as
to what might be the result of the democratic
vic in ii haxr -
being interviewed. You can see" said Mr.
Mclean, that am a sick man. l am suffer-
ing from rheumatism that within the last week
has attacked my throat and shoulders. have
just sent my wife across the street to drug
store to have prescription filled that a physi-
clan has ordered. 1 have only halted In Phila-
delphia for a night because my health de-
manded that should break my journey from
Washington to New York"
Mr.. McLeans neck was encircled by hand
kerchief and his throat was swollen.
Are you to be the next United States Senator
from Ohio?' was the question put to him.
Mr.. McLeans face assumed an expression of
wonderment. why" he said, Il have not
been in Ohio since last May.
But it is the assumption that the democratic
triumph IN your state means your election to
the Senate"
Il tell YOU that have not been in Ohio for
seven months"
',iiaye you any expectation of being elected
to the Senator"
"A man who has not been in Ohio since MAY
cannot possibly say what may happen
Would you accept the seat if it were ten
dered you?'
Mr.. Mclean Strengthened up and pulled his
hat a little further down on his brow Now"
he said. "how can l possibly answer such a
question as that? If had been living in Ohio
and had been candidate for the Senate /
might be able to say something definite on the
subject"
-
Then you are not prepared yourself to oc-
cupy Mr.. Payne's chalr?'
as things stand have nothing more to say
about II"
WHAT DID 1T.
The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette SAYS, edi-
toriIlly: No, it was not the saloonists who won
the democratic victory in this county, though
they will claim il furiously and use their power
TO the uttermost. but it was the Sunday cru
sade which stuck not only to the saloons, but
was extended to base ball, ice cream. soda
water, cigar stands. and seemed to be threaten
ing the milk wagons"
