Tho Earlier Claims Of Chairmsn--Ths
Slump in Hamilton County.
COLUMBUS, Ohio. Nov AT 10 p.
m. the Democratic state committee
claimed the election OF their state ticket
by from 5000 to 10000 plurality and q
majority Of the legislature on 5oInt
ballot for United States senator, No
figures were given on the thirty-slx
state senators and one hundred and
nine representatives.. but It was claim
ed that the Republican ioGs Of fourteen
members OF the legislature In Hamilton
county would Insure Democratic con-
troll of the legislature. The Democrats
also claimed the twelve members of the
legislature from Cuyahosa county,
which Includes Cleveland, the home OF
Senator Hanna.
The Republican state committee con-
ceded the loss OF Hamilton county, but
claimed that there were not sufficient
returns from Cleveland on which to
base any estimate. With the loss OF
fourteen members OF the legislature In
Hamilton county and also OF twelve
members In Cuyahoga county, the Re-
publlcans do not expect to carry the
legislature. The Republican state COM
mittee claims confidently that they will
carry Cuyuhoga county and make gains
In other counties. They state that they
had anticipated losses In the cities on
account OF local fights In bosslsm and
other hactionai troubles, but that they
had best reports from the rural dis
tricts A heavy continuous rain pre-
vailed all day and this no doubt affect
cd the rural vote. The Republican gains
seem to come from the rural Democrat
lc counties and the Democratic gains
from the Republican counties in which
the large cities are located.
The Republicans at this hour do not
concede the loss OF their state ticket or
OF the control OF the legislature, but
admit that the result will be very close
on both. Owing to the condition OF tho
roads the bicycle messengers are hav-
ing trouble in rendering the prompt
service that was expected from the ru-
raj precincts.
