Ohio-Returns from Other


Louisville, KY, Nov 9.-No matter what
result the face Of the returns of Tues
days election shows, a contest is very like
ly to occur. Additional returns received
continue to show republican gains, and,
basing an estimate upon the normal COM
pleXion of the precincts still unreported,
indicate plurality of 5000 to 5000 for w.
S. Taylor, for governor. The belated re-
turns are mostly from mountain counties,
which are strongly republican. 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 AT
republican headquarters in this city Tay-
lor's plurality is placed at 5000.
OHIO.
Columbus, o., Nov. 9.-An unofficial table
of pluralities by counties has been COM
pleted. This shows that in 81 counties
Nash (rep) has 81, $3.50 over Mclean (dem),
and in 81 counties Mclean has 4,035 over
Nash This gives Nash over Mclean in
the state 50,364. 1t is not believed the Off
cal returns will make any important
changes in these figures. The republican
figures on the legislature are House-Re-
publicans, 81; democrats, 45; doubtful, g.
Senate-Republicans Is; democrats, II;
doubtful, 2.
Lincoln Neb Nov. 9.-Complete county
returns coming in do not materially change
the early estimates of the results of the
election. The fusionists carry the state by
1900, perhaps more, on the face OF re-
turns from nearly half the counties. They
elect William Neville to congress over
Moses p. Kinkaid in the Sixth district, but
by a reduced majority, and gain slightly
in judicial districts Chairman Edmiston,
of the fusion state central committee. in
sists that Holcomb is elected judge of the
supreme court by 1900, probably more.
The republican committee gave up the
fight and quit counting early Wednesday

Des Moines, Ia, Nov. 9.-Returns from 80
of the 80 counties of the state, with esti-
mates on the others, show that the repub-
lican claim of 60, 900 plurality for Gov. Shaw

above that figure. His majority over all
candidates for governor is estimated at
$4,000, which is the largest in the history
of the state on the. gubernatorial vote.
The legislature will stand: Senate, 80 re-
publicans and Is democrats; house, SO re-
publicans and II democrats, a gain of II
