COLUMBUS, O., Nov. S.-With plural
fly of $4,000 and two-thirds of both
branches of the legislature, Mckinley
has won the most decisive victory re-
corded in Ohio since the civil war It
has been won on national issues.--Al-
though Mckinley was running for re-
election as governor, he made state
affairs secondary to protection and
honest money in all his speeches, num-
bering 110. 1t would not have been a
surprise two weeks ago, put after the
action of congress, there seemed to
have been such a reaction that the
overwhelming vote is surprise. The
democrats did not allow the contest to
go by default, but made most vigor-
GUS fight with its working forces. Ex-
Gov. Campbell canvassed the state
for Lawrence T. Neal all last week,
and the democratic party was hopeful
after congress reached decisive action.
The republican managers would have
expected such results two weeks ago,
but they were astonished last night.
Gov. Mckinley was not surprised at
the result. He has expected it all
along, and felt confident that the i'm
pressions of the change of conditions
would not be overcome by the cam
paign efforts for reaction. The weather
was pleasant all over the state and
there was full vote of over 500, 900.
The decisive results of former years
have been because of small vote, those
of one party or the other not turning
out But the voters were out yester-
day all over the state, and Mckinley
has majority over all with democrat,
prohibitionist and populist tickets op-
posed to him
This is the first majority over all any
state candidate has had since Fosters
election just after Garfeld's death in
1881. Blaine had a majority in 1884,
but the republican state ticket then
only had a plurality. Last year the
democrats elected one presidential
eleetor and the republican plurality
was 1,O72. McKinley's plurality in 1891
was2, 2,51L In 1889 the democrats elected
Gov. Campbell by 1O,SSi, when there
was small vote. With the result so
decisive the figures on district and
county tickets has not been as easy as
in closer years, but it is conceded that
the republicans have gained in districts
vnd counties everywhere. the local
tickets being carried through on the
vote for Mckinley.
Under the laws of Ohio the polls, in
cities of first-class, close at 4 p m,
others p IN. The precincts of cities
reported at $50 p. m. all show repub-
ican gains that would indicate McKin-
ley's plurality of 81, 900 two years ago
1., l4I
will not show such gains. The men
formerly in shops that are now operat-
ing are reported generally to have voted
for Mckinley, and they are jollifying
everywhere before the vote is counted.
II the ratio of gains in cities is kept up,
Mckinley's plurality will reach 90, 900,
and republican managers now concede
nothing less than double his former
plurality.
About . o'clock Chairman Dick, at re-
publican headquarters, n said if the
average gain of 20 per cent. kept up,
Mckinley would have 6S, 900 plurality,
but that the rural districts would not
keep up this average. He feels conf
dent Mckinley's plurality will be more
than double that of 1891, and gain of
10000 over last years vote.
Chairman Seward, at democratic
headquarters, has no estimates, but
claims that the rural vote will reduce
present claims He does not claim
anything on state legislative tickets,
BIT says it is an 'off year. and that
the party in power has been held re-
sponsiblc for everything.
At IL o'clock headquarters are being
abandoned and meetings held nomi-
mating Mckinley for president in
speeches by Boutelle. Deliver, Horr,
Chairman Dick and others.
At 11:30 o'clock the following was
sent out:
To General Manager Associated Press:
desire to change the figures made earlier.
We have carried Ohio for NJ Kinley by 6IOJJ
TO 500 plurality. and both branches of the
legislature by more than two-thirds majority.
CHARLES DICK
Chairman Republican State COMMITTEES.
Chairman Seward, of the democratic
central state committee, was seen after
midnight. He had no statement to
make, but if the present ratio of demo-
cratic losses continued the complete re-
turns would show plurality of 20. 600
for Mckinley. Chairman Seward was
ut the time figuring with Col w. A.
Taylor, democratic candidate for lieu
tenant-governor, and other democratic
candidates and managers who are con-
cerned in the concession of some of the
officers, they laughingly seconding
Meals motion to make it unanimous.
