CLEVELAND, Ohio, November 6.-The
Republicans in Cleveland are in retire
ment this evening. Foraker is from 500
to 1000 votes behind his ticket here
abouts. In fact, he was "cut" by the
Republicans in nearly every one of the
hundred precincts in this county. Late
this evening the impression prevails here
that the Democrats have a majority of
two in the House of Representatives, and
possibly majority Of two in the Senate.
If this should prove the case Democrat
will succeed Henry B. Payne, also
Democrat, in the Senate Of the United
States.
REPUBLICANS CAN'T DISPUTE THE FIGURES.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, November 6.-The
Democratic State Committee is claiming
the election of Campbell by o plurality
of 1900 to $1,000 and the rest of the
ticket by plurality ranging from 1000
to 5000. These conclusions are reached
from meager returns and mostly by esti-
mates, but are believed to be reliable
within the range of pluralities given.
The Republican committee has moth
lug upon which they can reliably dispute
the figures. The committee, however,
do not think that the complete figures
will be sufficiently favorable to save any
part of their ticket. Both the committee
and the Chairman seem to be agreed
that the Democrats will carry the Legis-
lature.
FORAKER CoNGRATULATEs CAMPBELL.

ing if he had anything to say as to the

merciGl Gazette, commenting upon the
election, says: "The German Republi

the sort. They rebelled against the pc.
culiar combination on the Sunday ques.

won the Democratic victory in Hamilton
