COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 5.-At 9 p.
m. it was thought that the tidal wave
of the past two years had continued
in Ohio, although no estimates would
be given. The Democratic state COM
mittee, in comparing the vote with
| that of last year, when the Republi-
| can plurality was $4,000, shows Dem
ocratic 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 comparing the
vote with that for Mckinley and
Neal for. governor two years ago,
were claiming ate o'clock that they
would approximate the plurality of
$4,000 received by Mckinley and
have thirds of the legislature.
AT their headquarters thew said they
would poll much larger vote than
in 1893, and that the Democrats also
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 said their
| plurality would not fall below Co.
900.
After 10 o'clock the, Republican
state committee was claiming that
the plurality of Gen. Bushnell will
exceed that of $4,000 for Gov. McKin-
ley in 1S93 There are some at their
headquarters who say that complete
returns will show Republican plu-
rality almost equal to that of last
year-137, ,000-the high water mark.
The Republican stae committee saw
hit to make a conservative statement
to those wanting to bet on over 100,-
900. Chairman Kurtz gave out 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 a decisive majority
of the members of the next general
| assembly, v-.'p, $
| Chairman Kurtz will not claim
| over 10000 at the most, although
others in his quarters go higher.
Chairman Kurtz does not estimate
that the Republicans will have two
thirds of the legislature, but he says
the Republican majority in both
| branches will be so large that the
usual interest is not taken in as
certaining the exact number of Re-
| publicans and Democrats on joint

BLAMING CLEVELAND.
AT Democratic state Headquarters
at 10 p. m. an announcement was
made that Ohio had gone Republican
by decisive majority in the legis-
lature, as we'll as a large plurality
on the state ticket. Some of the
! Democratic managers say that the
result is due to the same causes as
in 1893 and '94-opposition to Presi-
dent Cleveland's administration and
the last congress. The tariff was the
| only national issue between the par
ties. The Democratic wool growers
and others voted with. the Republi-
cans. The Populists cast about 5000
votes, the Prohibitionists about &c, 900
and the socialists about 1000. None
of these parties nor the A. P. A. af-
fected the result.
| RUNNING HIGHER.
COLUMBUS, O., Nov. G. / a. M
While the high water mark of 137, COO
Republican plurality last year for Sec
retary of State Taylor will not be
reached, the Republican state commit
| tee since midnight claim that their
record will be broken for the vote on
any governor. The highest Republican
| plurality for governor heretofore was
| that of John Brough over Clement l..
! Vallandigham in 1863, when the latter
was a refugee in Canada. The Repub-
licans claim this plurality will be sur
passed, and the Democratic state COM
mittee conceded the state to the Re-
| publicans at II o'clock when they
closed their headquarters, by so, 200. or
as much as the plurality of two years
ago. Chairman Kurtz, of the Republi-
can state committee, states that the
Republicans have surely elected II out
| of the 112 members of the house of rep
resentatives, and q out of the 81 MEM
| bers of the senate, a majority of AZ on
| joint ballot for senator.
Franklin county is the only one in
the state showing a big Democratic
gain. The Republican plurality Of 1900;
two years ago has been wiped out, and
| the entire legislative and county tick
| ct is elected by a small plurality.
! EX-Congressman Anderson, chair
man of the Democratic state commit
| tee, after midnight gave out the follow
| ing: eve concede the state to the Re-
| publicans by $4,000 plurality and both
| branches Of the legislature by a large
| majority. The Populist vote of over
| 60.GO0 for CoXey for governor hurt us.
| The hard times were too fresh in the.
and this led to our defeat. There Is
nothing left us but hope on which to
begin the campaign of 1886"
CINCINNATPs VOTE.
CINCINNATI, O., Nov 5.-The vote I;
of the city of Cincinnati was unusually
large, and indicates gain upon two
years ago for the Republicans. 1t is
estimated from these returns that the
Republican plurality in Hamilton J
county VIII run from 1000 to $4,000, I
and that the entire Republican legis-
lative ticket will be elected by a plural
ity of 10000 On the county ticket
Hagerty Dem.), for auditor, who ran
ahead of his ticket. is defeated by
from 1900 to 5000. With five city and
three county precincts to hear from,
Bushnell has 1929 Campbell, 1885, a
plurality for Bushnell of II, ,423. This
is gain over Mckinley of over 2,6OO..
The eight precincts yet to hear from
will not materially change the results.
EX-Gov. Foraker was an Interested !
observer of the election returns to-
night, and kept a close tally on the
returns until long after it was an asa
sured fact that the Ohio legislature,
which is to elect a senator
pledged to his election to succeed Sen I,
ator Brice. Being asked to what hes
attributed the remarkable result INF
Ohio, he said: 'It is the conviction Of
the people that the Democratic partyE
