eratic-The Democrats
Gained All Over.

columbus, o.. Nov. 2.-The result in
OHIO is so close that it may require the
omcial count to show the result. The
republicans and the democrats are both
claiming the state and the legislature
with such persistence that it will require
the Official count to get one or the other
10 concede defeat. Incomplete returns
indicate the election of the republican
state ticket by from 10000 to 10000
votes, but the result on the legislature is
30 close that no definite figures can be
given tonight. The democrats claim a
majority in both branches, but give no
figures. The republicans claim 81 rep
resentatives and II senator's, sure of II
votes on joint ballot, 70 being necessary
to elect senator. They also claim all
of the twelve representatives whose
counties have not been definitely heard
from. Out of the five state senator's
yet to hear from they claim three, so
that the result ON the legislature can not
be determined until all the doubtful coun-
ties are heard from. Both sides are
watching the returns carefully, especi-
ally on the legislative candidates.
The democrats have gained in all of
the cities largely, except in Cleveland.
The gains in Cincinnati and Columbus
were large.
The republicans gained in the rural
districts, but most of the changes were
due to the stay-at-home vote in the rural
districts, which was fully Is per cent.

Result In Doubt.

Topeka, Kan, Nov. 2.-At midnight
practically no figures are to be had to
show the result of today's election. The
fusionists are claiming to believe that
they have elected majority of the
judges voted for. but their claims are
indefinite. In the Atchison district ex-
Governor Click, fusionist, has been de-
feated for state senator by Il. l.. An
drews. republican. No figures are to
be had as to the election of the other
state senator and the four members OF
the lower house, elected TO fill vacan-
cies.
In 'Wyandotte county, in which is
Kansas City, Kan, the republicans
elected their full ticket with the ex'
ception of coroner. by pluralities ranging
from 200 to 1000. Bryan carried the
county by 26 votes. In this, Shawnee
county the republicans have substan
tial majority.
From only about score of the To-
counties have definite results been re
ceived as to the election of county Off
GERS, and the counties are about equally
divided between the republicans and thu
| fusionists.

Boston Goe. Republican.

Boston, Nov. 2.-For the second time
In two years this city, ordinarily demo-
cratic, gave substantial majority to
Wolcott, the republican candidate for
governor, at the state election today.
There was, however, a decided falling
off in the vote for both candidates, and
in this Wolcott suffered more than Will
liams. With a lead of 1900 over his
opponent last year the governor this
year had trifle over $500 in a vote of
about 100000. Wolcott's vote of 81, 600
this year shows a decrease of 80 per
cent from that given him last year
while the Williams vote of 1900 shows
less than 20 per cent decrease. The at.
tempt to consolidate the legislative dis
tricts of the city into a single chamber
was voted down by majority or about
6OOO. John H. Sullivan, who last yeal
was defeated for councillor by Isaac
Ballen, colored man, was elected by
substantial majority over Stanley
Ruffan, another colored opponent.
The election was remarkably quiet.

IOWA.
A Greatly Reduced Republican PIu-
rality-AbOut 1900.


Des Moines, Nov. 2-The returns from
about one-fourth of the 2005 precincts
of the state show that the republican
plurality will be about 1900. These
returns are from all parts of the state,
both city and country precincts, and it is
believed that the ratio tablshed there
by will be substantially maintained. The
ratio of democratic gain has been about
twenty-three to a precinct for nearly 800
precincts. That will give the democrats
a net gain in the state of about 1900.
The legislative ticket returns are slow
in coming in. The best estimates OBJ
tainable here give to the senate 36 re-
publcans II democrats and 2 districts
in doubt. OF the members of the house
probably 65 out of 100 will be republican,
giving them safe working majority in
both houses
The gold democratic vote runs less
than 3 per cent, but will probably be 5000
or 5000 votes in the state, probably less.
The prohibition vote is little heavier
than the gold democratic vote. 1t will
probable amount to 5000 in the state.
The middle-of-the-rOad populist vote is
inconsequential.
At midnight Chairman Mcmillan Of
the republican committee claimed essen
tally the above to be correct estimates,
although he thinks the republican plu.
rality will go to $4,000 when the country
is heard from.
Chairman Walsh Of the democratic
committee made no claims except that
they had given the republicans close
call, and he thinks the late returns may
throw the result in some doubt.

Detroit Goes Democratic.

Detroit, Mich, Nov. 2.-Today's mu-
nicipal election resulted in decisive vic
ticket, Mayor Maybury. The official re-
turns up to midnight, with but 80 pre-
cincts lacking, give Maybury 21OO plu-
rality over Black (rep.). William B.
Thompson (dem.) is elected treasurer
over Grunow rep by something like
1000. Robert w. Webb (dem) is also
elected justice of the peace. The re-
publicans elect John A. Schmidt, city
clerk, by something over 1000 and also
elected Felix A. Lemkie as justice and
legislator at large. The democrats gain
two aldermen, and the new council will
stand p republicans to Is democrats.
Maybury's majority exceeds what he
received in the special election for mayor
last spring by 1900.

Later-The democratic managers have
not changed their earlier claiinu on the
election of Chapman as governor and
on securing a majority on joint ballot
IN the legislature for senator. No def
mite figures were given out and it was
conceded that some doubtful counties
and senatorial districts had not been
heard from on the vote for members of
the legislature.
Chairman Nash, at the republican
headquarters would not give out any
statement at this hour, but his assist.
ants, who were tabulating the returns
announced that Bushnell was elected
and the entire republican ticket was
elected.
The first returns came from the cities
and the republicans claimed almost uni
form gains from the rural districts.
The republicans seem confident of Q
majority in the legislature. They claim
IL of 80 senators sure, with 10 demo
Gratis and 3 doubtful. They also claim
a majority of the 100 Representatives
but no definite figures are given on eithe
the counties for representatives or tn,

Bulletins.

Cncinnati-The returns show the cleo
ton of fourteen fusion members of the
legislature in Hamilton county by ma
jorities of something near 5000. The
same county ticket is elected by from
5000 to $500. Bushnell will carry the
county by 1000 majority.

outside of Hamilton and Cuyahan coun-
cratic gain of 2539. This rate of gain
would give Bushnell $4,000 majority.

Carry Baltimore.
Baltimore, Nd, Nov. 1.-The rcpubli-
cans have elected their municipal ticket
in Baltimore by majorities ranging from
1000 to COCO, but the state ticket is In
doubt and there is some reason for be-
lieving the democrats have carried the
legislature and that United States Sena-
tor German may succeed himself.
Official returns from the state are OF
the most meagre character. A conserva-
tive estimate based on partial returns in
dicates that the democrats will have
sixty votes on joint ballot, while the re-
publicans will have fifty-seven.
There are twelve hold-over senators, Of
whom nine are republicans and three
democrats. When they are added to the
list of those chosen today the total will
be: Republicans, 81; democrats, 60. AS
an offset to this Chairman Scott Of the
republicans says:
81 am very well satisfied ut the result
so far as heard from. We have carried
Baltimore city. including three Legislative
districts. by MT least 5000 majority and
our advices from the state indicate that
the republicans will send successor to
Mr.. German to the United States senate.

In Lancaster County.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 2.-The count is so
slow here and in the country precincts
as to make the result in this (Lancaster)
county uncertain. Seven city precincts
complete give Posten (rep) for supreme
Judge 1893; Sullivan (fusion), 1893; a re-
publican loss. The republicans carry
the county ticket, with the possible ex-
ception of register of deeds. The. repub..
lican committee claims the election of
the entire ticket. The fusionists claim
the election of the register of deeds,
sheriff and treasurer, but the returns do
not warrant the latter claim.

Columbus. O., Nov. 3.-Sincc midnight
the following was given out from the re-
publican headquarters to the Associated
Press:
81 think Bushnell has been reelected
by from 1900 to $4,000. We have
elected fifty.four of the 100 representa-
tives and seventeen of the thirty-six state
senators certainly, assuring us seventy
one votes in joint ballot, seventy-three
votes being necessary to elect senator.
We have doubtful counties unheard from
in which we expect to elect twelve more
representatives. There are also doubtful
senatorial districts unheard from in
which five state senators are to be elect
ed and from which we will certainly
elect three senator's.

electing the three candidates on that
ticket by pluralities ranging from 10000

turns have been received, but enough are
in to measure the result and indicate q
greater fusion victory than in presiden-

From the fusion headquarters the fol-
lowing was given out:
1--WE have carried Nebraska for the
fusion ticket by plurality of from 10000
to $4,000. Together with the magnif-
cent victory for the state ticket we have
carried majority of the county tickets.
The causes leading to the result is a de-
termination on the part of the people of
Nebraska to demand more and better
money through the free and unlimited
coinage of gold and silver.
