Tho Way tho Returns Came in.
1t was seen at pretty early hour
yesterday morning that Ohio county
had gone Democratic once more for
nearly, If not quite all the ticket, The
returns we're not complete until late in
the day, aud even then one precinct
No. 7, Of Richie district, was not
officially in, although the result was
known. The returns were brought in,
but the commissioners had failed to
sign their names on the bag containing
the ballots, as the law requires, and
word had to be sent to them to come up
and atiix their signatures.
Some of the precincts wero not en-
tiroly counted until daylight yes ter
day morning. Early in the day crowds
began to gather about the rooms Of tho
board OF county commissioners, whore
Clerk Horny Pendleton received the
official returns. Everybody interested
wanted to figure on the result as to
himself
Gradually all tho Democratic candi-
dates became assured Of their election
with the exception OF those running
for the House Of Delegates, and at one
time in the afternoon party OF good
Democratic figurers made out from the
returns that all the Republican candi-
dates for the Legislature were elected,
but on the full returnsi it was seen that
only one pulled through, S. G. Smith
beating NJ. j. OKane.
THE COUNTY FOR CLEVELAND.
To get tho result definitely under the
new form Of return is job that might
dismay anybody but a skilled account
ant with the patience OF Job. 1t re-
ouires the addition OF fifty-four num-
bers, one Tor each precinct, for each
candidate. To arrive at the result on
the whole ticket voted in the county
necessitates about 400 sums IN adj
dition.
The office of Clerk Pendleton was
crowded with amateur accountants all
day, computing majorities. and on the
legislative't ticket it required some close
figuring.
The county gave Cleveland ma
iority OF lS2, the vote on the electoral
tickets being as follows:
Harrison and ReId........ .... ..... .... 50oi
Cleveland and Stevenson o. lsb
Democratic plurality. .,...-...""o....." 49,
M'coRKLE LOST VOTES.
The vote for governor was not counted
accurately owing to one or two precincts
being missing, but SO far as the returns
were in a comparison showed that
Davis ran ahead OF Harrison's electors
in almost three-fourths OF the precincts.
His gains, or MacCprkles losses here
were attributed by Democratic mainly
and to MacCorkle's speech here
his reported speeches elsewhere.
His majority was generally estimated at
under 100, as he ran nearly, if not quite
100 behind the Democratic electors in
Ohio county.
FRANzHEIM SHERIFF.
The interest in the result on both
sides naturally conferred to large ex-
tent in the contest between I. G. Moffat,
Republican, and A. A. Franzheim, DEM
ocrat, for sheriff. Both we're somewhat
scratched, each losing strength where
it was least expected.
With the returns all in but precinct
OF Richie district, and that estimated
at "a, as it afterward proved to have,
majority for Moflat, Franzheim had l04
majority for sheriff. This will not vary
more than two votes on the official
returns.
THE LEGISLATURE.
as already remarked there was a
time when it looked as if all the four
Republican candidates for the house of
delegates we're elected, but careful ex-
animation OF all the returns gave the
vote as follows:
smith, li2
Mcdlck
Rawling, g1s
AcC0ilOch k...,......s
BfOckuncr ~
wilson ~ ~
lnEaG, '''.l' re
Ohane, 10
This gives Smith, Republican, ten
majority over the lowest Democrat,
o'Kane, and elects Smith, Brockunier,
Wilson and ImhoE
THE STATE sgS2TE
The contest on State Senator in Ohio
county:s supposed to have settled the
result in the district
The total vote in, the county was as
follows:
II G Iervcy, R,.........
w. H. Tarr'
Ters maJority-..,............................ as
On this basis the Democrats claimed
Tarr's election in the district by ~ ma
iority. Their figures showed 206 ma
iority for Heryey in Brooke and Han
cock counties combined.
rRyDLgroN CARRIES THE COUNTY.
The vote as between John 0. Pendle-
ton, Democrat, and B. B. Dovener, Re-
publican, for Congress, shows a major
ity for Pend!eton of 90. The Democrats
only claimed 90 until the last precinct
came in. This was No. Z, OF Ritchio
district, and it was estimated ut 26 Re-
publican. Without it Pendleton had
llB, and Ritchio No. gave Dovener "a,
leaving Pendleton's net majority in the
comfy %.
HowARD's MAJORITY.
For prorecuting attorney, John A.
Howard Demorrat waa electad OVar
