COLUMBUS. O.. Nov. 5-The Republican
State committee claims that the plurality
for Bushnell will exceed that Of $1,000 for
Governor. Mckinley in 1893. with which
years vote it is comparing returns. There
are some who say that complete returns
will show a Republican plurality almost
equal to that of last year-l37. .ooo-the high
water mark The Republican State COM
Inittee saw fit TO make a conservative
statement TO those who wanted TO bet on
over 100000. Chairman Kurtz gave out the
following: Returns received at 10 O'Clock
indicate that the Republicans have carried
the State by a plurality Of not less than
that given two years ago. and elected a
decisive majority OF the members OF the
next General Assembly Chairman Kurtx
will not claim over $4,000 at the most al
though others in his quarters go higher.
Chairman Kurtz does not estimate that the
Republicans will have two-thirds OF the
Legislature. and he says the Republican
majority in both branches will be so large
that the usual interest Is not taken In
ascertaining the exact number of Repub-
licans and Democrats on joint ballot for
United States Senator.
At Democratic State headquarters at 10
D. m. an announcement was made that ohio
had gone Republican by decisive major
ity in the Legislature. as well as a large
plurality on the State ticket. Some OF
the Democratic managers say that the re-
silt is due TO the same cause as In 1893 and(
ts94--opposition TO President ClevelarNSs adj
ministration and the last Congress. Az
both parties had the same financial plat
form, the silver question was not issue
in the campaign. The tarff was the only
national issue between the parties. the
Democrat wool-growers and others voting
with the Republicans. The Populists cast
about 10000 votes. the Prohibitionists about
10000 and the Socialists about 1000. Neither
the third nor fourth parties nor the A. P.-
A. affected the result. The contest was be-
tween the Republicans and Democrats on
the tariff and State issues.
While the high-water mark Of $4,000 Re-
publican plurality last year for Secretary OF
State Taylor will not be reached the state
committee since midnight claims that the
record will be broken the vote for any
Governor. The highest Republican p!ural-
ity for Governor heretofore was that OF
John Brough, over Clement l.. Nsllandig-
ham, in 1863 when the latter was refugee
in Canada. The Republicans claim that this
plurality will be surpassed. and the Demo-
cratic State committee conceded the State
TO the Republicans at IL O'Clock. when IL
closed it's headquarters. by 5000. or as
much as the plurality OF two years ago.

cormittee, had no figures TO give out on
