! CoLCMBus, O., Nov. With a plural
I ity Of 10000 and both branches Of the
! Legislature, Mckinley mas ron the
( most decisive victory recorded in Ohio
since the civil war. 1t has been won
on national issues. Although Mckinley
| was running for reelection as governor,
/ he made state affairs secondary to
protection and honest money in his
! speeches numbering over a hundred
and ten. 1t would not have been a
| surprise two weeks ago, but after the
action Of congress there seemed to
! have been such a reaction that the
! overwhelming vote is a surprise. The
| Democrats did not allow the contest to
! 90 by default, but made q most vigorous
| fight with harmonious working forces.
EX-Gov. Campbell canvassed the state
/ for Lawrence Neal all last week and the
/ Democratic committee was hopeful
after Congress reached decisive action.
The Republican managers would have
| expected such results two weeks ago,
( but they we're astonished tonight.
GOV. Mckinley was not surprised at
the result. lie expected it all along
and felt confident that the impressions
Of the changed conditions would not be
overcome by tile campaign efforts for
reaction
No more doubling is even held by
| Ioppouents Headquarters are being
abandoned and meetings held nominal
ing Mckinley for president in speeches

| cities reported at $50 .. ~. all show
Republican gains that would indicate
Mckinley's plurality Of q, 200 two
years ago, would be doubled, but rural
districts viii not show such gains. The
men formerly in shops that are not now
operating are credited generally to have
voted for Mckinley and they are ioIlify-
ing everywhere before the vote is
counted. If the ratio Of gains in cities
is kept up McKinley's plurality win
reach GO,J00, and Republican managers
now concede nothing less than double
his former plurality
At9p. m. chairman Dick, at Repubh-
can headquarters, said if the average

the rural districts would not Keep up to
