M'KINLEY's OWN STATE.
Republicans Claim "a Plurality i'm Ohio
of $4,000.

COLUMBUS, o.. Nov. 6.-McKinley has
carried his own State without doubt by an
increased plurality. but at midnight 1T Is
impossible to give the figures. owing to
the unusually meager returns received.
The Democrats have gained about 5000 In
Cleveland and as much in Cincinnati and
less in some other cities. The Republicans
have gained i'm the rural districts and in
this city, in Canton, in Akron, the home of
Chairman Dick, and few Other cities.
Democratic State Chairman Long comedies
the State to the Republicans and expects
gain of one congressman over the last
delegation from Ohio in Congress, which
stood sixteen Republicans and five Demo-
Gratis. Republican State Chairman Dick
stands by his poll of the State. which he
insists shows from $4,000 to $4,000 for Nc
kinley, and he insists that the Republicans
Will gain two or three congressman. At this
hour the indications are that Mckinley has
gained largely in Ohio over mis- plurality of
1896, and that most OF it came from the
rural districts, with the exception of Co
lumbus. Toledo Canton, Akron Springfield
and few other cities.
Democratic Chairman Long at midnight
gave out the following: THE returns from,
Hamilton and Cuyahoga counties show sub
stantial Democratic gains. While ma
jority of the country precincts reported
show Republican gains of to a precinct.

the vote of 1896. Lentz's election TO Con-

This means a gain of congressman.

1t will probably require an official count
to determine the Twelfth congressional dis
trict. Both Thompkins, Republican. and
Lentz Democrat, claim TO be elected. and
returns from AS of the precincts indicate
as 100 plurality.
At 1:30 a. m. no changes were announced
on national and state pluraIities, but the
Republicans claimed the election of Robert
M. Nevin in the Third and Emmett Temp
kins in the Eleventh congressional dis
tricts. leaving only the Twentieth district
in doubt, in which the Republicans have

KENTUCKY IN DOUBT.
Both Republicans and Democrats
Claim the State.

LOUISVILLE. Ky. Nov. 6.-At midnight
the result of the election in Kentucky
was in doubt, with both sides claiming
the State and presidential tickets The
Democrats may be considered to have a
trifle the better of the argument Ex-Gov-
ernor j. b. McCreary, chairman of the
Democratic State campaign committee,
said
Bryan and Beckham have carried Ken
lucky by safe majorities. The Democrats
have elected nine out of eleven congress-
men, including Gilbert, of the Eighth,
Kehoe, of the Ninth, and Rhea, of the
Third district
Chairman Leslie Combs, of the Repub-
lican campaign committee. said: Official
returns from twenty-eight counties have
been received. In three counties Beck
ham, for Governor, has gained 1,039 over
Goebel last year, while Yerkes has gained
1902 over Taylor in the same counties last
included in this estimate. This indicates
that Yerkes has been elected by a safe
majority. In the presidential race Nc
Kinley has probably run 100 behind Yerkes
in the same counties.
The Courier-Journal at midnight says re-
the State now show Bryan and Beckham
nlajorities. The result will depend on the
size of the majority in the Eleventh con-
gressional district, which is heavily Repub-
Ecan.

plurality in Cook county at 5000"
Chairman Watson, of the Democratic
State central committee, refused to con-
cede the State to Mckinley, and claimed
that Alschuler Democratic candidate for

the party ranks and that practically a
normal Democratic vote had been polled
The outpouring OF the voters. however, in
view of the ideal weather, was not 50
great as might have been expected. and
the total vote for all the candidates, when
the returns are completed will probably
show very little gain over 1856, despite
the heavy increase in registration. This
falling off, however. from what might be
called the anticipated vote, was probably
due more to lack of local contests
In two congressional districts, the Third
and Tenth, there was something like a
spirited campaign, and considerable work
was done to-day in getting out the vote.
Elsewhere, however, party fealty was
practically the only incentive.
