REPUBLICANS SWEEP OHIO.

Columbus, o., Nov. 6--Twenty sena-
tors will be Republicans and thirteen
Democrats; in the House the Repub-
licans have sixty and the Democrats
forty-two.
Columbus, o., Nov. 5.-After IL
o'clock Chairman Dick issued a state
ment in which he claimed that the 'ie-
publican plurality would exceed CO.
900, with an increased majority in the
! legislature.
! The Republicans today carried Ohio
by such increased plurality on their
state ticket and with such an enlarged
majority in the legislature as to cause
all sorts of comment on ''what did it. "
| The result continues the Republicans
in power in the state, making an epoch
of twelve years in succession for that
party in Ohio, and it insures the re-
election of Senator Foraker.
The extent of the Republican sue
cess is attributed to the silver Demo-
Gratis not voting, to the attitude of
j Ohm r. Mclean, the Democrat canGi-
date of two years ago, and the Ohio
member of the Democratic national
committee; to the superior organiza-
tion of the Republicans and other
causes. The Republicans attribute
the result largely to the popular de-

perity, in accordance with Senator
Hanna's appeal to Gle. well enough
alone:" to the desire to support Presi-
dent Roosevelt in carrying out the
policy Of the late President Mckinley,
and to the Endorsement of Governor
Nash and Senator Foraker. Chair
man Dick sent a message TO Governor
Nash at the State house and tclegrams
to Senator Foraker at Cincinnati and
Senator Hanna at Cleveland congrat-
ulating them on these lines.

Lincoln, Nebr., Nov. 6--rhe Repub-
licans are confident of success but the
democrats refuse to concede.
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. >. Indications
at 10 O'Clock based on meager and
scattering precinct returns were that
! Nebraska had reallirmed her verdict
of last year in favor of the Republi-
cans, Figures up to that hour, mainly
from the smaller towns and few
country districts, showed Republican
gain of four to the precinct over "a
year ago-when the average Republi-
can majority was 5000. If these gains
are sustained, Sedgwick, Republican,
for supreme court justice, will carry
the state by from 5000 to 10000. At
Republican headquarters the claim is
made of 10000 but the undecisiveness
of the figures is admitted.
Returns from the city of Lincoln,
with but two precincts missing, give
Judge Sedgwick, Republican, over
!, 800 plurality. The Republican
county committee claim the election
of the entire county ticket with the
exception of register of deeds.
AT midnight Chairman Lindsay of the
Republican committee, said: 1--WE
have elected Judge Sedgwick by "a
plurality Of at least as large as that
given William Mckinney year ago. -
Chairman DE France, of the fusion
committee had no statement to give
out, but said he was hopeful
