COLUMBUS, Nov. 6.--Oho has broken her
record on Republican pluralities. The
largest plurality heretofore was when John
Brough, Republican candidate for Gov
ernor In 1868, had 101 900 over Clement L.
Vailandigham, Democrat, the latter being
exiied at the time in Canada Last year
Governor Mckinley carried the State by
over $1,000, but no such plurality had been
previously known except in the noted
Brough-V ailandigham canvass, when all the
Ohio soldiers in the fields and hospitals of
the South voted. At that time over 10000
soldiers outside of the State voted for
Brough and less than one thousand for
Vallandigham. During the last twenty
years the parties have alternated in carry
ing the State. the Democrats electing Gov
ernor Bishop in 1877, Governor Hoadly in
1888 and Governor Campbell in 1882 While
the Republicans claim plurality for Secre-
tary Of State Taylor of 125,0O0 to 1900 the
Democrats concede that the Republicans
have made large gains over the Mckinley
vote Of last year, and possibly beaten the
Brough highwater mark of 1853
On the basis of the State vote the Re-
publicans claim seventeen of the twenty
one congressman, the present Ohio delega-
ton in Congress consisting of eleven Demo-
Gratis and ten Republicans. At 10 o'clock to-
night the following Congressman are be-
lieved to have been elected: First district,

To a reporter who visited the State DEM

Mr. Thurman said: ''Ohio will give the
Republicans 10000 and twenty-one con-
gressmen." Only Thurman and Secretary
Taylor were present. The election of Wat
son in the Twelfth district is conceded.
At IL D. m Chairman Dick gave out the
following from Republican headquarters:
'.If the present ratio of Republican gains
continues the Republicans will carry Ohio
by at least 125 900. The election of seven
teen Congressman is assured, with the 9TH
er four districts to hear from, in at least
two of which the Republicans are hopeful
Chairman Thurman, at Democratic State
HEADQUARTERS, states that he does not dis
pute Chairman Dicks claim, and he will
not be surprised if the Democrats lose all
the Ohio districts.

They made no claim then. The crowd at

read mis- latest dispatches indicating a Re-
publican plurality of 10000 to 10000 and
nineteen out of twenty-one congressman
Governor Mckinley said he could make no
statement for the Associated Press that
would interpret the result as plainly as the
returns At l o'clock the list of Congress
men-elect was changed. The Republicans
claim the election of A. l.. Harris over z.
]. Sorg. in the Third district; Of w. ID:
Davis over f. c. Layton, in the Fourth; Of
s. r. Harris over b. g. Young, In the
Thirteenth. and of A. S. Mcclure over ].
would give them solid delegation, as Wat
son has large plurality over Outhwaite
in the Twelfth Burton over Johnson, In
the Twenty-frst. and Mcclure likely over %
Third. Fourth and Seventeenth districts
are in doubt according 10 partial returns
at both headquarters.
