Cleveland.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, November 10.-At
p. m. it seems as if the official count
alone can decide the result in Ohio. The
Republicans this afternoon discovered a
mistake OF 1000 in the footings. This re-
duced the supposed Republican plurality
of 100 to 700. These figures are on S.
NJ. Taylor, the head of the state ticket
and, as he runs ahead of the Harrison
electors slightly, the indications are that
the Cleveland electors are chosen. 5.
NJ. Taylor's nominal plurality of 700, at
this writing, is likely to be cut on ac-
count of a discrepancy of 500 in the re-
turns from Hamilton county. Unotfic-
ial returns show that he ran 500 ahead of
the Harrison electors there, which does
not seem probable. All the counties in
the state except four have been heard
from. T ere can be no great change.
The Democrats are claiming the election
of the Cleveland electors by 500 plurality
and think the official count alone can de-
eide the result on the state ticket.
Returns Received.
COLUMBUS, O., November 10.-The
Democratic state committee have au-
thentic returns from 76 counties. Esti-
mating the results in II other counties,
they claim that Cleveland has carried
the state by plurality of 1870, and that
the Democratic candidate is elected Sec
retary of State by still preater plurali-
ty. The Republican committee has re-
ceived word from all counties of the
state except four. Estimating the result
in these counties they claim the election
of the Republican candidate for secreta-
ry of state by plurality of 1413, and
that Harrison has carried the state. The
Democrats have elected- II and the Re-
publicans 10 congressman.
Mckinley Does Not Give Up.
PIrTsBURG, Pa, November 10.-Gover-
nor Mckinley of Ohio was in the city
tonight. In an interview he said he
could not account for the result of the
election. He was not prepared to give
Ohio up yet, having received telegram
from Columbus this afternoon that the
state was safe for the Republicans by
5000 plurality.
600 PRECINCTS MISSING.
Without Them Cleveland Led by Over
Two Thousand in California.
SAN FRANCISCO, November 10.-The
state returns come in very slowly, and
indicate that the presidential vote will
be narrow margin either way Sixteen
hundred precincts give Harrison 101, ,727;
Cleveland, 104, POI; Weaver. Is, 933. There
are five hundred and ninety-nine pre-
cincts still to be heard from, mainly in
the country and mountain districts. The
later returns on congressional candidates
do not change the former estimate of
three Republicans, three Democrats, and
one fusion. Ellert, the non-partisan
candidate for mayor Of San Francisco, is
leading the six other candidates on un-
official returns. Two of the proposed
amendments to the state constitution
providing for the election of United
States senators by a direct vote of the
people and the educational qualification
for voters, appear to be carried over
whelmingly. The legislature is still in
doubt.
Cleveland Carries the State.
SAN)FRANcIsco, November 10-Suf-
ficient returns have been received from
California to show that Cleveland has
carried the state by at least 5000 plurali-
ty. The returns are in from nearly
three -fourths of the precincts in the
state and these give Cleveland a plurali-
ty of 250o. Nineteen counties, from
which less than half the returns are re-
ceived, gave Cleveland plurality of
nearly 500 in 1883. The chairman of the
Democratic state committee claims
Clevelana's plurality will be 1900. Re-
publicans admit that the state has gone
