fsr TELEGRAPH TO TIE IxisUSE.r

Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 4.-Returs from eight1
counties out of the eighty-eight counties In Ohio.
those from twcnty-scven counties being Official
and the rest estimated, give Major Mckinley
plurality of 24,52l over Governor Campbelu
The counties not heard from gave last year
Democratic plurality of Gs0s and Republican
plurality of s35 Putting these into the footingt
gives Mckinley plurality Of ls,54s in the State.
Chairman Neal says McKinlcy's plurality Will
bc at least $4,000, and may reach 2O,Ooo, ana
that the Republicans will have twenty-eisht on
Joint ballot The feature of the result Is the
complete drop of the Peoples party. Their vote
in the State will not exceed 900. and they
claimed before the election at least $4,000. Tho
Prohibtionists will lose 1000 votes from last
years polling. probably $4,000. This loss n
traced to Republican counties. and partially ac-
counts for the gains in the strongholds. The total
vote Of the State is estimated at close on to 'oo
900 and will equal that cast in the last Presidential
contest.
Chairman Hahn, of the Republican Committee.
claims the plurality for Mckinley will be between
10000 and 81 ,000 and that the General A.
sembly will be thirty seven on joint ballot
In an interview this afternoon. Chairman Hahn
Of the Republican State Committee. summartso
the situation. and gives some of the canscs cadina
to the result, besides making interesting COM
parisons lie said "The Republicans Of Ohio
have achieved a magnificent victory. The Repub-
lican State Executive Committee claimed the
election of Major Mckinley last Thursday by from
10, 900 to 81 900. and that w, would also have
a majority in both branches Of the General Assem-
bly, The figures arc bearing these claims ous
pretty WE'LL and it now looks as If we should
have from 35 TO 40 majority on Joint ballot
in the Legislature. One Of the peculiar results
Of this campaign is the phenomenal
Republican gain in Adams County. Last year
it gave Democratic majority of ss4 il
gives a Republican plurality of about 200, show
ing net Republican gain OF over 1000. We
account for this from the fact that last year our
Democratic friends expended large sum OK
money in that county, but this year the Repub-
Iicans saw to il that we had an honest VOTE
There are great many other counties Ill the
State that when the returns are made up. VIII
show possibly large gains as Adams County
For instance, Pike County last year gave $40
for Mr. Crowley, and now it gives only about l5o
Democratic plurality. Again, in the Northwest,
Paulding gave 46s Democratic plurality last
year. and this year it gives a Republican plurality
of $50
1T seems to me that our Democratic friends
made mistake is trying to make the Farmers
believe that free trade was good thing Tor them
They made up their mind that, lnasmuch as
Kansas had q cyclone strike them the same thln2
might occur in Ohio; but in this they were
much mistaken. There is class of men in the
State that is more intelligent than the Ohio
farmer
ut has been we'll said that this was CAM
paign Of education. The Republican State
| Executive Committee sent out from headquarters
over $500, 900 documents and it is clearly shown
| that they were read by the voters Of the State.
Then again, the bringing into the State Of Mr..
Mills, of Texas, and Mr. Crisp, Of Georgia, hnd
something to do with preiudicing the old soldiers
| minds. Neither of these gentlemen ever voted
| for the pension legislation They were nos
disturbed at any of their meetings and were privi-
| legged to say anything they wanted to. Mr. Mills
said in his speech at Columbus that If be had his
way he would take down the wall Of protection.
But IN this he misjudged the class Of men he was
| talking to. There never has been in the history
| of Ohio time when the candidates for Governor
made better canvass than our distinguished
leader, Major Mckinley lie made about 1877
| speeches speaking in almost every county in the
State. He was honest and fearless, and stood
by the Mckinley bill No personalities Of any kind
whatever have entered into this canvass. Major
Mckinley stood squarely the Republican p at
form, while Governor Campbell was Unable ia
agree with his party ana scarcely alluded to any
of the planks in the Democratic platform The
most OF his time was devoted to trying 10
make the people believe that we were unable t9
manufacture tin plate in this country and
to prejudice the minds of the employees against tho
employer | believe that it is safe TO say that
from 5000 to 5000 of the old Democratic soldiers
decided to cast their ballot with the party that has
stood by them in every bill for their relief in
| Congress that has been passed
In my opinion, free trade in Ohio is dead.
and the Mckinley bill has come to stay
Cleveland, Ohio, Nov. 4.-Complete returns from

Campbell. The Republicans elect their entire
legislative delegation of three Senator's and eight
Representatives, and the entire State and county
