Sufficient Democratic Gains to Place
the State in Jeopardy.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, ,Nov.5.--The election
in Ohio was very quiet. In Cleveland
the day was marked with no adventure.
The republicans generally felt sure that
Foraker would be cut here and there by
cautious citizens who think two terms
in the gubcrnatorial chair quite enough
for any man, and by others who do not
nor Lcver will believe that lie was filth
fiil to sherman in the last convention.
The democrats folt confident that
Campbell would suffer at the hands of
those members OF his party who swear
by cN-President Cleveland and tariff re.
form. All this complicated the situa-
tion and the republicans were prepared
TO hear OF Forakers election by a plural
ity OF 10000 or his defeat by a plurality
not quite so large, perhaps. but
equally convincing The hisky ques-
ton, too, cut no small figure In the con.
test. An impression prevailed that
brewers, distillers and dealers generally
were democrats this autumn, and many
members of the democratic party In
favor of restraining the liquor traffic
were quite content to vote the repubi-
can ticket, and thus defeat the supposed
purposes of those men who seek to
amend the present liquor laws. Here
again was another complication, and
ton" 1t was plain case OF unfathom.
able uncertainty.
Early this evening, as returns came in
from various precincts throughout the
state, 1t became evident that the prohi-
bitiouists were gaining, which meant "a
loss tn the republicans. 1t was also OBJ
served that the labor party had lost
heavily over two years ago. Indications
are OF n marked gain for tho democrats
The first Cleveland precincts from
which.reports were received showed that
while Foraker ran behind his ticket, he
made gain over the vote cast for him
two years ago. AT $50 O'Clock indica-
tions were good for republican plurali-
" in Cuyhoga county of 1000 to $500.
Lake county, near Cleveland, reversed
the order, however and returns from
there give Foraker 437 and Campbell
092, u net democratic gain OF 18l.
At 1880 a. NJ. tho republicans arc
positive of having the legislature, which,
IL true, means a republican United States
senator. In the western reserve the re-
publicans have gained almost In every
county, aud if Foraker is defeated, the
southern end OF tho state did 1t.
GAINS FOR CAMPBELL.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 5.--At7 Z o'clock re.
turns from Cincinnati continue to show
gains for Campbell, so the republicans
concede the county to him by from 1000
to 1000. Fifty precincts out of 527 in the
city give Foraker 724o. Campbell 1888.
In tho state o.tside of Cincinnati ~
precincts give Foraker S2l6, Campbell
6S4l. HelwiS 36l. The same In 1887 gave
Foraker 1855, Powell 1886, Sharpe (pro.
257. This shows gain for Campbell oi
607. Foraker is behind the ticket in
many precincts In Cincinnati. -
Ore hundred and one of ITO precincts
in the city give Campbell n plurality of
2610. 'This indicates for the city and
county majority for Campbell OF 54S,
which will be u democratic gain in Ham
ilton county Of HOO. This would leave
a little over 10000 In other portions OF
the state to be overcome by Campbell.
At $3.50 +. NJ. tho opinion is general
that Hamilton county has gone for
Campbell by from 1900 TO 5000.
In no precincts in Ohio outside OF
Cincinnati Foraker has 15,0Sl, Campbell
1900, Helwig zoos. The same places in
1887 gave Foraker l5,403, Powell 1884,
Sharpe $50.
The Enquirer claims the election of
Campbell by u slight majority, but con-
