CLOSE BELOW GOVERNOR.
A Few Republican Candidates in
Ohio Nav Pull Through


COLUMBUS, O.,-The indications now
are OIL figures received at Republican
and Democratic headquarters. that the
Republicans will electa the candidates
Oh the state ticket with the exception of
Foraker and possibly lieutenaut-gOv-
ernor. The Republican committee sent
out kilograms to 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 the figures, has received H.
$50 votes more than Foraker, or rather
the head of the ticket has run behind
that much on these figures. 1t is esti-
mated that Campbell must have a
plurality of at least 1900
in order to insure the elect
ton of the balance of the Democratic
ticket, and the Republican committee
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
1900 ahead of the balance of the Re-
publican ticket, not counting the head.
At Democratic headquarters it is con-
ceded that Campbell's plurality will
have to be 11,000 in order to save Mar
quis, and that the balance of their ticket
is in much greater danger. They, how
ever, think that CampbelFS plurality
will reach 1900 or Il, 600, which would
insure the election of the entire Demo
cratic ticket. The Evening Dispatch
says:
The contest is so Close according TO the
estimates made on the meager figures at
hand, that it may require the official figures
to decide the contest Unofficial returns
from all of the eighty-eight counties. except
Ashland, Geauga Ottawa and Paulding, give
Campbell plurality Of 9,240. The missing
counties in 1887 gave Powell (Dem.) 430
plurality. which would give Mr.. Campbell
9,610. The returns show that all the caudi-
dates below lieutenant governor ran about
10000 ahead of the ticket in four counties
alone, thus making the contest very close
and uncertain, with a strong probability that
some of the Republicans may pull through.
Mr.. LampsOn, Republican candidate for lieu
tenant governor, was badly cut by the LIQUOR
intesests of Cincinnati. He was charged
with being a Prohibitonist. While on the
Reserve, in the vicinity of his home, where
the prohibition sentiment is very strong, his
sentiments were known to be in favor of tax
alton and regulation as against prohibition.
He was placed between two fires, and to this
is attributed the small vote received by him
compared with the other Republican candi
dates
Chairman Neal. of the Democratic
committee. left for his home in Hamil-
ton this AFTERNOON, to attend the jOilifi-
cation meeting tonight. The commit
tee received but little information DUR
ing the day as to the state ticket, but
concede that unless Mr.. Campbell'S
plurality runs over 10000. the chances
are in favor of the Republicans. They
have hopes however, that their ticket is
safe, but can give no figures on the re-
suit further than to say that the average
gain for the ticket in fifty counties is
about $3.50, which, if kept up, will elect
the entire ticket. While the figures are
yet meager, the election of the Republi-
can candidates for treasurer, attorney
general, school commissioner and clerk
of the court is regarded as certain by
the Republicans. The official vote is
coming in, and the result Will be ascer-
tanned by tomorrow.
THIS Is PURE GUESSWoRK.
COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 1.-THE follow
ing was given out from Republican
headqUa rteTs at 10 O'Clock tonight:
We now have returns from the entire state

Acknowledgement Watson, State Commission
er Brown. Member CT the Board of Public
Works Hahn, School Commissioner John
Hancock and Clerk of the Supreme Court
Hester, by pluraiities ranging 1900 to 5000
| We believe Lampson is elected lieutenant
| governor, but the race between him and Mr..
| Marquis Wascl lose. and Mr.. Lampson's plu-
rality will be small. 1t will require the oIfie-
| ial vote to obtain the exact plurality of the
Republican candidates.
