REPUBLICAN VICTORY CONCEDED BY THE CHAIR
NAN OF THE DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE
THE LEGISLATURE REPUBLICAN.
Columbus, Ohio. Nov Especial: Although full
returns from any part of tie State VIII not De
obtanable until tomorrow morning. there seems
10 be no doubt whatever that Major Mckinley has
carried Ohio by handsome majority and that the
Republicans will control both branches of the
Legislature. BY the vote Of last fall, with which
this years vote is compared. the Republican state
ticket carried the eighty counties outside
Cincinnati by ?,44O, and had ID plurality in the
State as whole of l0,069. Returns received
from precincts scattered all through. the State,
outside Of Hamilton County, have shown so far
average Republican gain of about six votes
TO a precinct, indicating total Republican gain
In the State, outside Of Cincinnati, of something
like 9,2O0 votes. Adding this TO last years
plurality of'2,44O, Major Mckinley appears to have
carried the State. outside of Hamilton
County, by about 1880. His plurality in
Hamilton County promises TO be between
5000 and 5000, and his total plurality VIII
therefore reach between $4,000 and 10000. Re
turns from both Democratic and Republican

brought out the Republican reserve strength and
At the same time held the Democratic vote down to
last years figures.

'urns so far, an Insignificant figure in this years
election, Seitz, the Peoples party's candidate for
1evernor. running behind Ashinghurst, his Pro
hei'ion competitor for tail-end honors.
Sca'tering returns from precincts all over the
otate began TO come into Columbus
aoout p. III. and the promise of
Republican success contained in them
soon verified by the first bulletins covering
groups Of precincts. The fifty seven precincts in
Ie State, outside of Cincinnati, first heard
from, gave Mckinley net gain Of 1j6, or little
'es Than three votes 10 the precinct. The next
returns from eighty-oDe precincts, showing net
tain OF $685. were even more favorable, raising
'ne precinct gain TO more than four, and indicat-
ing plurality in the State of 10000 or over.
