CoLuMHu-, o., Nov. s.-With a plural.
ity Of 10000 and two-thirls OF both
branches Of the Legislature, Mckinley
has won the most decisive victory re-
corded in Ohio since the civil war II
has been won on national issues. Al.
though Mckinley was running for re-
election rs governor, he made state
affairs secondary to protection and
honest money in all his speeches, num-
herring no. 1t would not have been n
surprise two weeks ago, nut after the
ne ion of congress, there seemed TO
have been such "A reaction that the
overwhelming vote is u surprise. Tho
democrats did not allow the contest To
go by default, but made most vigor-
GUS fight with its working forces. Ex-
Gov Campbell canvasscd the state
for Lawrence 7. Neal all last week,
and the democratic party was hopeful
after congrcs, 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
tile result lie has expected II all
along, and felt confident that the inn
prcssions 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 800, 900.
The decisive results of former years
have been because Of small vote, those
of one party or the other not turning
out hut the voters were out yester-
day all over the state, and Mckinley
has u majority over all with democrat,
prohibtionist and populist tickets op.
posed To him.
This Is the first ma lority over all any
state candidate ha, had since Fosters
election just after GarGeld's death in
1881. Blaine had majority in 1884,
but the republican state ticket then
only had plurality. Last year the
democrats elected one presidential
clcctor and the republican plurality
was Lore. McKinley's plurality in sol
was ., 5ll In 1859 the democrats elected
Gov. Campbell by lO.ssl, when there
was n small vote. With the result so
decisive the figures on district and
county tickets has not been ns easy as
in closer years, but it Is conceded that
the republicans have gained in districts
aud counties everywhere. the local
tickets being carried through on tho
