man has sent the following:
COLUMBUS, OHIO, Nov. 6.
"TO Hon. Gr0Uer CleUeland, Neto York:
Gov. Foraker has surrendered all the repub-
lcan flags in Ohio"
Special Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
COLUMBUS, Nov. 6.-The result of the election
in this state yesterday has had the effect of
completely demoralizing the republicans and
amazing the democrats. The faithful of the
latter are kicking themselves ound the cor
ners this morning because of their lack of
nerve to bet at odds offered by the republicans
during the last forty days. Gov. Foraker is
beaten by plurality of probably 10000. The
defeat is a crushing blow to his friends, who in
duced him against his own better judgment to
accept the nomination for third time.
Personally the governor cares but little,
but for those that have stood by him in this
fight he feels the keenest regret. The repub-
lican campaign and prospects of brilliant
victory were at the high-water mark when Mr..
Campbell, the democratic candidate read the
LAT Of har .aff fba 90
public affairs in Cincinnati, Hon. Geo. Topp,
demanding % per cent in cash on gravel con-
tract. The contractor that received this letter
sold it to the democracy, who made use Of it.
The fact that the writer was under the care Of
physician and receivin treatment for mental
disorder was not considered From the day this
letter was made public the democrats made their
fight on the governor. Numerous blunders
were made by republicans, all of which were
heaped upon the governors shoulders. Gen.
John Beatty and a number of other stalwar.s
made vigorous fight against the third term.
Beatty and his friend fought the head of the
ticket and proved to be running mates to the
saloon keepers combination that made the
governor the chief object of their attacks.
At noon today the indications are such as to
foreshadow the election of Campbell by a
plurality of 10000. The republicans claim the
legislature on joint ballot, but the latest dis
patches show that they have lost one member
in Noble county, although Foraker carried the
county by 800, which seriously complicate,
matters and leaves the legislature tie. The
advantage, however, is slightly in favor of the
republicans having it upon joint ballot. The
democrats claim the election of their entire
state ticket by 1000 to 5000, but the proba-
biiity Is that majority of the republican state
ticket is elected by pluralities ranging from
1000 to 10,0O0. Later news is eagerly looked
for.
Campbell Carries Hamilton County
and His State.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 6.-The last edition of the
Commercial Gozette says editorially; THE
latest from the republican state executive COM
mittee is they do not concede the election of
Campbell, but they do not fully estimate the
enormous democratic majority in this county
for the head of their ticket. 1t will be- accord
ing to the latest advices. about 5000"
The close counties are coming in better
than we expected for the republicans, and
promise majority on joint ballot In the gen.
eral assembly. The latest news is of this COM
plexiOn SO strongly as to give some confidence
to the claim that the legislature has been saved
to the republicans"
Footings of Hamilton county vote, with seven
precincts to hear from, give the following re-
suits Foraker, 2,0l0; Campbell, 39, $685. Camp
bells plurality, 7,643.
1t is settled that one republican senator is
elected Geo. A. Schneider.
The detailed vote shows an almost unbroken
falling off in Foraker's vote from the rest of
the ticket i'll all the precincts In Cincinnati
he has plurality i'll only eight Of the thirty
wards and these range from 10 to 527 Camp
bells ward pluralites range from 70 to II59
In eight wards he has more than 400 plur ality
for each.
This morning returns have been received
from Sl3 of the 2,I90 voting places outside of
Cincinnati, showing the vote for Foraker
1876, 1852; Campbell, 131, ,5l6; Helwig, 6,764. The
same i'll 1887 gave Foraker 134, 100; Powell
1889; Sharp, 7,l24. This shows a gain for
Campbell of over to each precinct While
this ratio is matter of chance it still gi yes
some data for estimate. 1t has been almost
constantly between and 9, but even at the
lower it would give Campbell enough to ensure
his election. The republicans find some con-
ISOLATION in the theory that the townships to
hear from, being mainly rural ones, will not
show SO large gain per precinct but the
ratio would have to be brought below TO the
precinct to give Foraker a chance.
CLEVELAND.
CLEVELAND, OHIO, Nov. 6.-Unofficial returns
give Foraker plurality Of about 5000 in Cuya-
hoga county. The local republican ticket is
elected with one or two minor exceptions.
Later reports from northern Ohio towns show
republican gains. 1t is generally thought,
however, that these gains will not be large
enough to offset Foraker's losses in the southern
part of the state.
