THE RESULT in OHIO.
THE REPUBLICAN STATE
TICKET ELECTED.
The Legislature Claimed by Both Sides
Republicans Claim Five Majority
on Joint Ballot, Which the Demo-
Gratis Do Not Concede.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 8. Many talk
about a crisis in Ohio Some believe
chat crisis is impending. The talk
about a combine in the legislature
against Senator Hanna has subsidized,
pending the interest in the official
counting of the vote in close counties.
As the official canvass of the vote in
the lightweight counties proceeded
yesterday, the Republican plurality
on the state ticket increased and on
the Legislative ticket it appeared to be
getting toward very close shave.
While the Republican plurality on
the state ticket exceeds $4,000, the
vote on the legislative ticket is almost
as close as it could be- For this rea-
son there is still unusual anxiety at
the respective state headquarters OF
both parties.
The Republicans still claim that the
legislature stands Sc venty- live Repuo-
lcans to seventy Democrats on JOINT
ballot for senator, and that their can
didates for representatives in three
OF Jn6 close counties HdNc DSSh
elected by the following pluralities;
Delaware county, 80; Wood county,
rs; Noble county, So; a total of lt9 on
the pluralities. A change of 70 votes,
properly distributed in these three
counties, would, therefore have turned
the result in the legislature by giving
these three representatives to the
Democrats. Then the legislature
would have stood 72 Republicans and
rs Democrats on joint ballot for sen
ator.
Last night it became known that
the courts would be resorted to for
the purpose of preventing boards of
election from issuing certificates to
the Republican candidates in certain
counties. The cause will be brought
in the lower courts, and thence to the
supreme court as soon as possible.
The Republican state committee
already has lawyers preparing cases
of contest.

Republicans Elect nine Judges-POpu-
lists Gain on County Onioes
TOPEKA, Kan, Nov s.-Election re-
turns have been received at Republic
an headquarters from SO counties out
of los, and from Is counties at Popu-
list headquarters. While both reports
agree on Republican gains over the
vote of 1896, they are conflicting in
comparison with the vote of sos, and
this must be determined by the official
count
The Republicans elect nine out OF
thirteen district judges, as follows:
M. p. Simpson, IN the Ninth district;
r. M. Piclkler, in the Fifteenth; Ansell
A. Clark, in the Twentieth; r. B.
Spillman, Twenty first; r. Il. Thomp.
son, Thirtieth; f. Il. Price, Thirty
first; w. E. Hutchison, Thirty-second;
c. w. Smith, Thirty-fourth, and Will
liam Thompson, Thirty-fifth. The
fusionists elected these judges: John
T. Burris, Tenth district; A. @. L.
Geiger, Seventeenth; w. L. Mcbride,
Nineteenth, and j. e. Andrews,
Thirty-third
In sixty counties from which def
mite returns have been received the
Republicans have made gains OF
twenty three principal county offices
over 1873, when the Republicans swept
the state, and the Populists have made
gains of fifty-six principal offices,
net gain for the Populists of thirty
three
Ex-Governor Click was defeated in
the Atchison-J ackson district for state
Senator The fusionists elected the
Senator in the Leavenworth district
The Republicans elected three out
of four representatives to fill vacan-
cies, and the Populists have probably
elected the fourth, although no re
turns have been received. Each party
elected one state senator, as already
reported. This leaves the Populist
majority in the legislature unchanged.
