received up to $50 at which hour the

| notable exception being Columbus, the
| home of both Governor Nash and Colo

| The greatest republican gains are
| outside Of the large cities. Some OF
| the democratic counties report the larg-
est republican gains. a notable eXcep-

| Colonel Kilbourne said he felt better
| over carrying his home of Franklin
| county with a democratic gain of over
| 5000 than if he had been elected gov

| gave out a statement that the republ1-

Baltimore, November 5-Fully 75 per
cent. of the registered vote had beer
cast at 1 o'clock, with indications that
the democrats had made such gains il
the city and state as to insure the cleo
tion of their ticket. While there j.
some doubt as to the result in the city
> | there seems to be but little in the coun
i ties, all advices indicating democratic
! victories in the doubtful districts. The
republicans are inclined to cOnced
| democratic success in two of the three
| legislative districts in Baltimore city
and the indications point to a demo
cratic majority in the legislature whicl
means the reelection of Mr.. Gorma1
as United States senator.
