REPUBLICAN GAINS lN COUNTRY.
VIII Save State for Hanna If Anything
Does.

Columbus, Ohio, November AIT 11.30
O'Clock tonight the. Democratic managers,
at their state headquarters, had not
changed their earlier claims on the elec-
tion of Chapman as governor or on seour-
ing majority on joint ballot in the leg
islature for senator. No definite figures
were given out and 1t was conceded that
some doubtful counties and senatorial
districts had not been heard from on the
vote for the legislature. Chairman Nash,
at Republican state headquarters, would
not give out any statement at this hour,
but his assistants, who were tabulating
the returns, announced that Bushnell
was elected governor and the entire Re-
publican state ticket was elected by from
five to 30, 900 plurality. >. s.The;basis ofDenl-
ocrat1c gains had been reduced since 10
P. IN. from 16 to Is per cent. Tho first
returns came from the cities and the
Republican claimed almost uniform gains
from the rural district.
At Republican headquarters at this
hour there are more confident of having
a majority in the legislature than of
decisive plurality ON the state ticket.
They claim l8 of the 36 senators sure with
10 Democrats and three doubtful. They
also claim a majority OF the 100 represen-
tatives, but no definite figures are given.

new York, November 2.-Rain, which
prevailed generally all over the state, had

country voters away from the polls. The
result Is apparent in the reduced majori-

trlcts to VIM. j. Wallace, the Republican
nominee for chief judge of the court of
appeals, as compared with the pluralities
by which the same districts were carried
last year. In many instances the pIurali-

Bird S. Coler is elected comptroller and
Randolph Guggenheimer, president Of the
municipal council, Chas. S. Fairchild,
who was secretary Of the treasury during
Cleveland's first presidential term, and
whom the Citizens Union put up for
comptroller, did not hold the pace with
Low. Ashbell P. Fitch, originally Re-
publican and afterwards Democratic
member of Congress from a Tammany
district of this city was the Republican
nominee for comptroller. He Is defeated
by about the same vote as the head Of his
| ticket.
The legislative branch of the city gov
| ernment Is Tammany- Democratic. 1t is
| q double headed body, one branch being
the municipal council consisting Of the
president and twenty eight members and
the other, the board of aldermen, COM
pr1sing sixty members. The precise num-
Der OF Democrats chosen cannot be rated
at the present writing. There appears to
be strong probability that the Demo-
| Gratis have won la majority Of the county
and borough offices along with the
municipal places.
The vote of Van Wyck in New York

cast for Bryan in 1895, which was 1876, 62&

The returns from the different states
where elections were held yesterday are
SO far very incomplete and unsatisfactory
except in Greater New York and Massa-
ohusetts. In nearly, If not quite every in
stance Republican losses are shown to a
gr eater or less degree.
Van Wyck was chosen mayor of Greater
New York, and his plurality over Low is
about 1900. Low leads Tracy by some-
thing like $4,000. In the state the proba-
btlities are that Parker. (Dem.) has de-
feated Wallace (Rep) for the chief
judgeship.
Both sides are claiming the state and
legislature in Ohio. The returns from
the country are, however, cutting down
the big Democratic gains in the cities.
In Maryland the Republican have
carried Baltimore by reduced majority
over q year ago, but Senator German

New York. November 2.-Tammany's
victory In the first municipal election in
Greater New York is a sweeping one. The
only question remaining to be settled at
IL O'Clock is the plurality by which the
entire ticket headed by Robert A. Van
Wyck has carried the gigantic municirali-
ty. 1t can scarcely be less than &C. 900 and
may be larger than that.
Van Wyck has polled vote which falls
possibly 10000 under the combined vote
Of General Tracy, Republican, and Low,
Citizens Union.
The total number of votes cast was not
far either way from half million. The
indications are that Van Wyck received
