Baltimore, November S.-Unofficial
returns from Baltimore city and all
| the counties Of the state show that the
| democrats swept practically every
| thing before them in yesterdays con-
| test. John Walter Srflith, DR.. Joshua
| Herring, and Isidor Rayner, their can
didates for governor, comptroller and
! attorney, respectively, were elected
over the republican candidates by ap-
proximately 1900 majority. The Off
cial count, 1T is Thought, will not ma
terially change these figures. The dem
| ocrats elected II state senators, for
(, four year terms, which with their
hold overs, will give them fifteen out
Of a total membership of 26 in the up
per house of the general assembly. In
| the lower house, composed Of 81 mem
| bers, the democrats elected &c. while
the republicans will have only 25 del
egates in the legislature to meet in
January of next year.
In Baltimore city the democrats
| elected judge of the court of appeals,
clerk of the city court, sheriff, states
attorney, city surveyor and three
judges Of the orphans court.
| OHIO.
Cincinnati, Ohio. November S.-Un-
official returns have been received by
the Western Union from all counties
in Ohio, with few scattering precincts
estimated. The footings give Nash, re-
| publican, for governor, a plurality of
49205. The reports in most cases give
| only the plurality and, hence, it has not
been possible to give the total vote of
| the candidates. The Jones vote, how
| ever has been reported from forty
seven counties, including Cuyahoga,
| Lucas, Hamilton and Summit, where
the largest vote for him was cast. 1t
shows total in forty-seven counties
of 82,7S7.
Columbus, Ohio, Novembe S.-J. j.
Gill, republican, is elected over Lavo-
| sier, democrat for congress in the Six
teenth Ohio district, by AZ votes. Mr.,
Gill will fill the uneXpired term of the
late Lorenzo Danford.
Columbus, Ohio, November S.-The
republican figures on the Legislature
| are: House-Republicans, 81; demo-
| Gratis, As; doubtful, 8. SerNate-Republi-
| cans, 1S; Democrats, IL; doubtful, ?.
Columbus Ohio. November S.-The
statisticians at the republican head
quarters have been busy all day and
night endeavoring to secure some ac-
l
| Nash, the republican candidate for
governor, and tonight an unofficial
table of pluralities by counties was
| completed. This shows that in 81
counties Nash, republican, has 81, 399
! over Mclean, democrat, and in 81
counties, Mclean has 34,035 over \ ash.
| This gives Nash over Mclean iG ahe
state so, 364. 1t is not believed the offi-
cial returns will make any Important
| change in these figures. No figures are
| available on the total vote in the state,
| as the committee sought to obtain only
| pluralfties. Notwithstanding efforts
| were made to get the vote for Joies,
| returns have been secured from only
| 40 of the SO counties. These include
the counties in which the heaviest
Jones vote was polled and show a total
| of $4,000. The remaining counties will
swell the Jones vote to 100000.
KENTUCKY.
Louisville, November S.-No matter
what result the face of the returns
Of yesterdays stale election shows, a
contest is very likely to occur. Addi-
tional returns received today and to-
night continue to show republican
gains, and, baSing' an estimate upcn
the normal complexion of the precincts
still unreported indicate a plurality of
! 5000 or 5000 for w. S. Taylor for gov
ernor. The belated returns are most
ly from mountain counties which are
strongly republican.
The Eleventh district, which in 1896
gave Mckinley a plurality of $4,000, is
only about half reported. Eleven out
of nineteen counties in this dictrict
give Taylor pluralities aggregating II,
062, indicating that the republicans
have carried the district by about the
same figures as in 1896.
The Goebel people cling to their
claim of a plurality of 5000 in the
state, these figures being the estimate
made by the nominee himself tonight
At republican headquarters in this
city, Taylor's plurality is placed al
5000. In neither case is 1t possible
to get the figures upon which the claim
is based, each side evidently fearing
that giving publicity to the reports O1
it's agents throughout the state might
work to the advantage Of its opponent
in the event of contest.
Almost complete returns from LOUIS
vile and Jefferson county do not
change last nights estimate of re-
publican plurality of little ovel
5000.
Governor Bradley is still in the city
and announces that he will remain hers
for several days.
Frankfort, KY, November S.-Sena.
tor Goebel arrived here at O'Clock
tonight and was met alt the train oy
crowd Of 1,500 enthusiastic followers
From the balcony of the Capital hote
where his headquarters are located, h,
made a speech in which he said:
"I believe 1 have been elected. IN
| fact I know / have. / see my frient
General Taylor says he will assum.
the office of governor. All I have Il
say is, if 1 have been elected, as 1 be-
lieve, I will be inaugurated in spite o.
the Louisville, and Nashville railroad
and Bradley's bayonets."
Ex-senator JOS. Blackburn also spok;
claiming GoebePs election by SLENDER
majority and calling on the people tt
