COLUMBUS, OHIO, November 6.-Tc
the Hon. Grover Cleveland, New York;
Governor Foraker has surrendered all
the Republican flags in Ohio"
The Republican State committee at
l p. m., comedies the election of Camp,
bell and admits that the Legislature is
Democratic in both branches. At
o'clock this afternoon Governor For
aker sent the following telegram:
"CeLUMsUs, OHIO, November 6.-To
the Hon. James e. Campbell, Hamil-
ton, Ohio: To the full extent that a
defeated candidate can do so with pro-
priety, allow me to offer my congratu-
lations and assure you it will give me
pleasure to extend you every courtesy
can show you in connection with
your Inauguration and the commence
ment Of your administration.
~. B. FORAKER"
1T WAS a CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION.
CLEVELAND, November Com
plete returns from Cleveland city and
county give Foraker 20,40S votes and
Campbell ls,1es. Foraker ran from
800 to 1,5O0 votes behind bis ticket-in
fact he was cut by Republicans in
nearly every one of the one hundred
precincts in this county. Eight Re
publican candidates for the General
Assembly were elected by an ample
plurality, and the results in this county,
all things considered, met with the ex-
pectations of Governor Foraker's
friends.
In Northern Ohio the Democrats
lost and gained votes in spots. In Sum-
NIT county, of which the flourishing
city of Akron is the capital, the Repub-
lican loss was something like l,l00.
Akron is manufacturing city, and
the tariff was made more or less of an
issue in the campaign there. Late this
evening the impression prevails here,
and it is based on a careful review Of
all the returns now at hand, that the
Democrats have majority Of two in
the House of Representatives and posi-
bly, majority of two in the Senate.
If this should prove to be the case a
Democrat will succeed Henry B. Payne
in the Senate of the United States.
The Senatorial election will occur in
January, 1890.
Ohio has been known as a Republi-
can State where all the Republicans
vote, yet it has never been represented
at Washington by two Republican Sen
ators. Senator Sherman has always
had Democratic colleague, and now
Mr.. Payne, who is very old man and
who says that he will not be candi-
date for reelection, will be followed by
another Democrat.
1T LOOKS LIKE A LANDSLIDE.
COLUMBUS, OHIO, November g.
The Democratic State committee is
claiming the election of Campbell by
plurality of $4,000 to $1,000, and the
rest of the ticket by pluralities ranging
from 1000 to 5000. These conclusions
are reached from meagre returns and
mostly by estimates, but are believed
to be reliable within the range of plu-
ralities which are given.
The Republican committee have
nothing upon which they can reliably
dispute the figures, further than they
do not think the plurality Of Campbell
will reach over 5000 or 10, 900, and that
the rest Of the State ticket will not be
elected by more than 1000 or 5000 plu-
rality.
Both committees and chairmen seem
to be agreed that the Democrats carry
the Legislature in both branches. 1t
is not probable the figures as agreed
upon as to membership will be changed
from that which has already been an
nounced, though in some counties they
do not have conclusive information.
From the best at hand gathered from
both headquarters the House will
stand: 81 Democrats and So Republi-
cans, and Senate 10 Democrats and II
Republicans. This would give the
Democrats majority of ten on joint
ballot.
