ciated Press as follows: present returns
indicate that Mckinley has carried Ohio

election as governor in 1888 while in 1882
the result was very close The largest plu-
rality ever given Il Republican presidential
ticket in Ohio was $4,000 for Garfield in
1880. While the Democratic state commit
tee makes no claims on the state tonight,
the Republican state committee expect the
complete returns to break all former
records.

following precinct pluralltics: A., no; Il,
81; G, 115; ID, 10. Total, 81. This ward
gave Cleveland 1O3

of seventeen Republicans and two Demo
crafts to congress and two districts in doubt,

that the state has gone 100000 Republican

hold up in the districts yet to be heard
from the majority, it is said, will exceed
that figure. In the dispatches comparing
the votes of Tanner and Mckinley the

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. At headquarters con-

The election in Maine proved one of the
quietest in the states history. Generally
the returns showed a falling off in the
Democratic vote and a slight increase in
the Republican vote. which accounts. in
a great measure. for a heavy Republican
