REPUBLICANS WIN IN OHIO.
But the Majority is Reduced Some
Fifty Thousand.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 5--The Repub-
lican State Committee claim that the
plurality of Gen. Bushnell will exceed
that of $4,000 for Gov. Mckinley in
1893, with which years vote they are
comparing returns. There are some at
their headquarters who say that COM
plete returns will show Republican plu-
rality almost equal to that of last year
1877, ,000-the highest. The Republican
State Committee saw fit to make con-
servative statement to those wanting to
bet on over one hundred thousand.
Chairman Kurtz gave ont the following:
Returns received at 10 o'clock indicate
that the Republicans have carried the
State by plurality not less than that
given TWO years ago and elected de-
cisive majority of the members Of the
next General Assembly.
Chairman Kurtz will not claim over
90, 900 at the most. Others go higher.
Chairman Kurtz does not estimate the
Republicans will have two-thirds of the
Legislature, but he says the Republican
majority In both branches will be 30
large that the usual interest is not taken
in asserting the exact number of Repub-
licans and Democrats on joint ballot for
United States Senator.
At Democratic headquarters at 10 p.
M, an announcement was made that
Ohio had gone Republican by decisive
majority in the Legislature as well as a
large plurality on the State ticket.
AS both parties had the same fnan-
cial platform the silver question was
not an issue in the campaign. The tariff
was the only national issue between the
two parties, the Democratic wool
growers and others voting with
the Republicans. The Populists cast
about 40, 900 votes, the Prohibitionists
about 10000, and the Socialists about
2,000. Neither the fourth nor fifth
party nor the A, P. A. affected the re-
suit.
Ex-Oongressman Charles Anderson,
chairman of the Democratic Committee,
after midnight gave out the following
We concede the State to the Republicans
by go, 900 plurality and both branches
of the Legislature by large majority.
The Populist vote of over 0,000 for
Coxey for Governor hurt as. The hard
times were fresh in the mind of the peo-
pie.
Republican Majority in Ohio go, 900.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. Sat 9 o'clock
it was thought that the tidal wave of
the past two years had continued IN
Ohio, although no estimates could be
given. The Democratic State committee,
in comparing the vote with that of last
year, when the Republican plurality was
1877, 900, shows Democratic gains but not
enough for them to claim any close
result on the State ticket or more
than one-third of the members of the
Legislature. The Republicans in COM
pairing with that for Mckinley and Neal
for Governor two years ago are claiming
at o'clock tIey will approximate the
plurality of so, 900 received by Mckinley
and have two-thirds of the Legislature.
At their headquarters they say they will
poll much larger vote than in 1893,
and that the Democrats polled a much
larger vote than that year. The total
vote will be about $4,000, the largest
ever cast in the State The Republicans
say their plurality will not fall below
sixty thousand.
Republicans Gain In Cincinnati.
