ed that Gov. Bushnell was reelected gov
ernor. and the entire republican state tick
ct was elected by from 5000 to 10000 plu-
rality. The basis of democratic gains had
been reduced since 10 p. m. from 16 to
per cent The first returns came from the
cities and the republicans claimed almost
uniform gains from the rural districts.
At the republican state headquarters at
this hour they are more confident of hav-
ing a majority In the legislature than of
a decisive plurality on the state ticket
They claim eighteen of the thirty-six sem
ators sure, with fifteen democrats and
three doubtful. They also claim a ma
jority of the l09 representatives, but no
definite figures are given either on the
counties for representatives or senatorial
districts.
This county (Franllin) gave Mckinley
a plurality of 900 last year. 1t gives the
democratic state ticket this year plu.
rality OF 1000 and elects the entire demo-
cratic ticket, the only close vote being
for sheriff.

tives in the legislature

fection will reduce the republican plurali-
ty TO a close margin, though 1t Is probable
