COLUMBUS, Nov. 9.-Indications at
II O'Clock tonight are that Ohio has
gone Democratic for the first time in
a presidential year, though it may re
quire the official count to determine
the result. Chairman Foley of the
Democratic state committee went
home early this morning safe in the
belief that the Republicans had sub
stantial plurality in the state, but his
secretary and w. A. Taylor, candidate
for secretary of state, remained at
headquarters and at 10 o'clock tonight
had received unofficial returns
from all but three counties in
the state on which they claimed a
plurality for the candidates on the
Democratic ticket of 800, and that the
Cleveland electors had been chosen
by possibly slightly reduced ma
jority. The two committees ex-
changed figures at the above hour
and there were no startling variations
in the returns received. AT RApubli-
can headquarters, with Chairman
Dick and Candidate S. M. Tay-
lor for secretary of state pres
ent, they had received unofficial
returns from all but four counties.
Returns to both committees are in re-
sponse to kilograms sent out by chair
men. They claim .Nlurality of ll6 at
Republican headquarters. and concede
that it will require an official count to
determine the matter. Mr.. Taylor,
Repu blican, stated that he noted in
the returns received that he ran about
even with the Harrison electors, hence
1T is concluded that if the Republican
state ticket is defeated Cleveland's
electors will be chosen.
umhus-Governor Mckinley was
seen tonight by an Associated Press
reporter and asked his views ON the
situation. He declined to say any
thing.
Cincinnati - The Commercial Ga
zette figures on the situation. At this
hour it includes official reports from
fifty-seven of eighty-eight counties.
1t shows 1902 Democratic gain, which
leaves but 1919 of McKinley's 21511 to
be extinguished by the remaining
thirty-four counties. The average
gain for Cleveland is nearly 300 per
county.
Cleveland-Word comes from DEM
ocratic headquarters at Columbus that
Ohio has gone Democratic by 7O3 with
three counties to hear from. These
three will increase the plurality. 1t
is estimated to be 1900.
incinnati-Returns from the Ohio
election from the very first until the
closing showed Ha rison holding
well up to McKinley's vote or lead
ing it. Later struggling returns from
the northwest and from the mining
regions showed a drift in favor of
Cleveland that may jeopordize Harri-
sons chances for Ohio.
Cincinnati - The Commentaries
zette, Republican, has just figured up
the official returns from thirty-seven
of the eighty eight counties in Ohio.
The result is gain for Cleveland OF
II 1853. This. taken from McKinley's
pluro lity of q, ,5l1, leaves 10, 158 to be
extipguished by remaining counties.
There is a grapevine report here that
returns from seventy-two counties
give Harrison 127 plurality. If that
is true, and the remaining sixteen
counties come in without variation,
Cleveland will have between 1000 and
5000 plurality in the state.
Cleveland-A special from Ballaire
says that Poorman, Republican, is de-
feated for congress in the Sixteenth
district by 100 plurality. This gives
the Democrats ten congressman, Re
publicans ten and leaves one district,
the Ninth, in doubt.
