COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 6,-The democratic
state committee is claiming the election of
Campbell by n plurality Of from $4,000 to
1900 and the rest of the ticket by pluralities
ranging from 4, 200 ITO 5000. These conclu-
sons are reached from meagre returns and
mostly by estimates, but are believed to be
reliable within the range Of pluralties which
are given.
The republican committee has nothing
upon which they can reliably dispute the
figures. The committee, however, does
not think the complete figures will be
sufficiently favorable to save any part of
their ticket. Both committees and CHAIR
men seem TO be agreed that the democrats
will carry the legislature in both branches.
Governor Foraker was asked this evening

which led to the result. He said: II greatly
regret the result of course, but l have no
complaints to make of anybody or anything.
