Columbus, O., Nov. A. - Unofficial but
complete returns show republican plurality
of 26520 in Ohio. Both sides still claim
majority of the legislature, republicans by
five, democrats by three. Wednesday was
q day of anxiety with the Ohio politicians.
1t opened with the republicans and demo-
Gratis both claiming the election OF their
state tickets and majority of the men,
bers of the state legislature. Before noon
the democrats conceded the election of the
republican state ticket. In the event OF the
republicans securing the legislature on as
close a margin as is now claimed by them
and not conceded by the democrats, Chalr-
man McConville predicts that Senator Han
ma will secure the caucus nomination but
fail of election as did DR. Godfrey Hunter,
at Frankfort, Ky. The republicans con-
cede that the democrats will have two ma
tority in the senate, and no ripper pllls
can therefore be passed. The repuphcans
claim that the organization OF the senate
depends upon the attitude of Senator
Voight, of Cincinnati who is a fusion re-
publican.
Fusion on Top in Nebraska.
Omaha, Neb., Nov. AT midnight re-
turns have been received from 46 OF sS
counties of Nebraska, casting more than
half the vote of the state. These give:
Post 53,74S; Sullivan, 60,133 Last year the
same counties gave Mccall, 61157, Hol-
combe, 1853. If the vote falls off in the
same ratio in the remainder of the coun-
OOO At fusion headquarters majority of
10000 is claimed.
Iowa Elects Shaw.
Des Moines, Ia, Nov. 4.-The Register
figures out republican plurality or 3d.
900. These figures are based on practically
complete returns. This will give Shaw a
majority of nearly 10000, which is in eX-
cess of that of two years ago. Chairman
Mcmillan, of the republican state COM
mittee, has complete returns from "a coun-
ties and has estimated returns from the
five remaining counties. By this means he
has figured a plurality for Shaw QepD of
about 31,7S2. Chairman Walsh, of the
democratic state committee, has given out
no figures. He thinks that errors in the
returns may reduce the plurality for Shaw
to 10000. The legislature is safely repub-
lican. The senate has so members, of which
3S are republicans and II populists and dem
ocrats. The house has 100 members of whom
the republicans have elected 81 and the pop
ulists and democrats 80. These figures
are subject to slight variations, probably
to the advantage of the democrats, but they
are essentially safe. The republicans lost
four members in the senate and II in the
house, compared with the last legislature,
which was overwhelmingly republican.
Heavy Plurality for WOlcOtt.
Boston, Mass, Nov. 4-Roger Wolcott,

Gratis, 81; independents, 6; prohibitionists, l.
County Elections in Kansas.
Topeka, Kan, Nov. AT a late hour the
returns from Tuesdays election in Kansas
are still very incomplete. The indications
are that the republicans have elected eight
of the 10 district judges voted for The re-
turns show that in 40 counties the repub-
licans have elected all or nearly all of their
candidates for county offices. In IA counties
the fusionsts have elected all, or nearly
ALL of their candidates. In rs counties the
offices are about evenly divided between
the fusionsts and the republicans. In one
county a straight democratic ticket was
elected
Kentucky Again Democratic.
Louisville, KY, Nov 4.-Kentucky wheels
into the democratic column again by ma
jority of over $4,000. Reports from all over
the state show that Sam J. Shackelford,

600 majority and that the silver democrats
will have a majority of over 20 in the two
houses of the general assembly.
In South Dakota.

Baltimore, Md, Nov. 4.-Senator German
is beaten, although his machine managers
cling to the hope that they will have
majority of one or two in the lower house
of the legislature With a few doubtful
districts yet to hear from, which it is not
believed will materially change the re-
suit, the democrats will have 46 members
of the house-a majority of one. The sem
ate stands II republicans and nine demo-
Gratis, assuring the republicans a majority
of seven on joint ballot. Philip Lee Gains
