OHIO VERY CLOSE.

The Chances Favor the Democrats,
But the Official Count Must Decide.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 10.-Owing to the
method of receiving election returns in
Ohio there is no absolutely certain way Of
ascertaining the result when such conditions
as at present prevail. The method is the
same that has been followed for years It
showed gains for Harrison over Mckinley's
81 900 steadily until every body assumed
that his majority would not be much below
McKinley's. But later returns rapidly re-
versed the first ratio and showed astouish-
ing democratic gains. Now it must take
the official returns to decide the result for
President and state officers, but the chances
largely favor the election of the entire dem
ocratic state ticket. Unofficial returns are
received by both state committees at Colum-
bus and do not greatly vary.
M'KIELEY'S OWN DISTRICT WON.
ALLIANCE, o., Nov. 10.-Probably one
of the biggest surprises of Tuesdays ballot
ing was the election OF DR.. George p Ikirt

majority of $500 aud elect Mr.. Ikirt to con-
gress over Thomas r. Morgan, Sr., of this
city, the republican candidate, by q ma
jority OF 1000.
HARTER NEGLECTED.

COLUMBUS, O.. Nov. 10, 10 P. M-The
result of the election in Ohio is still in doubt,
and the indications are that only the official
count will decide it. The democratic state
committee have authentic returns from 16
counties, and estimating the results in the
IL other counties, they claim that Cleveland
has carried the state by plurality of ,270,
and that Taylor, dem, is elected secretary
Of state hy still larger plurality. The re-
publican committee have received word
from all the counties OF the state except
Licking, Monroe, TuscGrawas and
Wyandotte, and estimating the re-
suits in these counties they claim the
election of the republican candidate for
secretary of state by plurality of Lab
and that Harrison has carried the state.
The committee states that an error Of 935
votes in Cuyahoga county has been dis
covered and that the correction gives them
en- advantage
Ihe democrats have elected IL and the
republicans 10 cong ressnen, the former
carrying i've republican districts, the Ninth,

the republican candidates. On the pres
idential end state tickets both parties claim
clean sweep and the result may not be
definitely known before tomorrow.
