which indicates his having about one-half
tho plurality given Mckinley. expressions
Of surprise could be heard. But such q
result was naturally to be expected, on
account of many democrats voting the
republican national ticket. and refusing
to vote the state ticket. Still more COM
ment was made on the vote for Woodruff.
for lieutenant governor, which pointed to
hts having about 5000 plurality.
Chicago, Nov. 3.-Returns from over the
state of Illinois indicate that Mckinley
has made big gains in proportion through
out the counties and towns as he has In
Chicago, seeming to justify the claim OF
the central committee that the state has
gone 100000 republican. II the gains
which are already reported hold up in the
districts yet to be heard from. the major
ity, 1t is said. will exceed that figure In
the southern part Of the state tho gains
have been heavy. and several towns and
counties reported at S:45 have given Bryan
small majorities
From all other parts Of tho state the
dispatches received at state headquarters
claim substantial republican majorities.
In the dispatches. comparing the votes
Of Tanner and Mckinley, the former
has in most instances ran slightly behind
the latter.
The figures, however plainly show that
Tanners loss was no gain for Altgeld.
Forman was the gamer. Comparisons
made with the vote cast for Harrison IN
1892 show very heavy gains in nearly every
instance over the republican vote cast
that year.
The republican state central commit
tee has Issued the following:
1.-The Citizens of 1llinois-The republican
state central committee consratulates you
on your action at the polls to-day. which
places the western empire state at the
head of the list of honest and law-abiding
commonwealths in I've union. The cleo
tion of Governor Tanner by plurality
equal to the wonderful strength of the
idol of protection is a tribute TO his worth
and declaration that the people Of I'LL
nois know he will give them good adj
ministration. We possibly return a solid
delegation to the lower house OF congress
to support the president-elect in a policy
secure legislation which will send to
the senate republican in place of Gem

Atty. &C. L. Kurtz, chairman.
| In the comparison of the vote with that
| of the last presidential election Ohio made
| unprecedented gains to-day for Mckin-
| ley. In 1892 Harrison carried Ohio by an
| average plurality for republican electors
| of 1912. The republicans have had phe-
nomenally large pluralities in Ohio the
| past three years. commencing with Nc
| Kinleys reelection as governor in 1888,
while in 1892 the result was very close.
| The largest plurality ever given a repub-
lican ticket in Ohio was $4,000 for Gar
| field in 1880. While the democratic state
committee makes no claims on the state

dispatch from the republican committee

ilton county gave Mckinley from $4,000 to
10000 and other cities report large gains.
He claimed Ohio by $4,000.
