Returns from 215 precincts outside of
Hamilton and Cuyahoga counties. give
Bushnell 3.172 majority, a democratic
gain of 1850. This total of gain would
give Bushnell $4,000 majority. This ra-
ito, however, may change. More pre-
cincts must be heard from to make an
estimate reasonably reliable.

night this democra tic managers at the
state headquarters said they had not
changed their opinions of the election Of
Chapman for governor and of securing a
majority ballot for the election of a SEN
ator No definite figures were given out
vi Il t,otte IL, tf,,l
counties and districts had not been heard
from on the vote for governor and legis-
lature.
Tho chairman at republican headquar
ters 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 state ticket was elected by from
5000 to 10000 plurality. The basis of
democratic gains had been reduced
since 10 D. 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 republican state headquarters at
this hour they are more confident of
having a majority in the legislature than
of decisive plurality on the state tick
ct. They claim eighteen of the thirty
six senators sure, with fifteen democrats
and three doubtful. They also claim
majority of the 100 representatives, but
no definite figures are given on eithsr
senatorial or legislative districts.
This county QFranklin) gave McKin-
ley a plurality of 1900 last year. 1t
gives the democratic state ticket this
year a plurality of 1000 and elects the
entire democratic ticket. The only close
vote is for sheriff,
columbus, o., Nov. 1.-The result in
Ohho is SO Close that it may require the
official count to determine the result es-
pecially CIT the complexion of the legs
lature. The republicans and the demo-
Gratis arc both claiming the state and
the legislature with such persistence that
it will require the official count ait least
to get one or the other to de de-
feat. Incomplete returns Indicate the
eleotion of the republican state ticket
by 10000 to 1000, but the result ON the
legislature is so close that no definite
figures cam be given out tonight. The
democrats claim confidently a majority
in both branches of the legislature, but
give no figures ON the number of repre-
septatives and senators.
The republicans claim fifty-four repre-
sentatives and seventeen senators sure,
or seventy-one votes on joint ballot
seventy-three being necessary to- elect
senator They also claim all of the
twelve repressn batves whose counties
have not besn definitely heard from and
all of which are in the doubtful list. Out
of the five state senators yet to hear
from they clam three so that the result
on The legislature cannot be determined
until all the doubtful counties and dis
tricts are heard from. Both sides are
watching the court very carefully es-
pecially on the legislative candidates
that ara in doubt.
The change from the result of last
year show that the democrats have
gained in all of the cities largely. except
