Summary of Latest Returns.
Returns from the twelve states hold
ing elections yesterday indicate both
Republican and Democratic gains. In
Ohio the Democrats suffered disap-
pointment more in the large Republic
can majorities than in actual defeat,
as in "off years" these majorities have
always been materially reduced
In Pennsylvania the Democratic
ticket gained materially. although cas-
lily defeated.
In Maryland it appears that both
branches of the Legislature will be
Democratic.
The same is certain as to Kentucky.
Virginia gave a sweeping Democratic
majority.
Mississippi elected Democratic treas
urer and secretary of state.
In Iowa, Colorado, Massachusetts,
New Jersey, Rhode Island and Nebras-
l.. 49, Do,,,hI;oa~ - +;oI-a.e r,aro oosiI1y
elected by majorities ranging slightly
different from those which character
lied the last election.
Columbus, O.. Nov. 5.-Returns up
to 10 o'clock indicate Republican gains
in Cincinnati, Cleveland. Toledo, Day
ton, GAINESVILLE, Portsmouth, Canton
! Springfield and other cities, the nota-
BILE exception being Columbus, the
home of both Gov. Nash and Col. James
Kilbourne, the Democratic candidate
for governor.
The greatest Republican gains are
outside of the large cities. Some of the
! Democratic counties report the largest
Republican gains. A notable exception
in the rural districts was found in Pike
and Adams counties, which Jointly
elected Democratic member of the
Flegislature for the first time in eight
years.
T At 10 o'clock the Democratic State
Committee had no claims to make on
the state ticket or the Legislature. Col
Kilbourne said he felt better over car
rying his home OF Franklin county
with a Democratic gain of over 5000
than if he had been elected governor
without carrying Franklin county
| Chairman Dick at 10 O'Clock gave out
a statement that the Republicans had
carried the state by over $4,000, with
majority in each branch of the Leg
| islature.
The greatest Republican demonstra-
ton here tonight was over the re-
| turns from Toledo, showing that Nash
had carried Lucas county and that the
legislative ticket there is elected. AS
Gov. Nash had opposed the state ap-
| preparation for the proposed Ohio Gen.
| tennial Exposition in that city it was
| expected that he would lose that coun-
| ty. When this dispatch was received
after Chairman Dick had made his
statement the Republicans raised their
estimates several thousand.
At Democratic state headquarters no
official statements have been given out
tonight that they conceded the state
to the Republicans. Chairman Dick Of
the Republican state headquarters said
goodnight to the crowd after issuing
the following:
Returns at midnight Indicate the
election of Gov. Nash by $4,000 and up
wards, and the election of twenty-five
to twenty-five of the thirty three mem
bers of the Senate, and 20 to 80 OF the
| 110 members of the House."
The Republican plurality exceeds the
average of $4,000 for the last ten years,
or since the first election Of McKin-
| ley as governor, which has been term
| ed the greatest Republican era in Ohio.
! The total vote this year will not reach
| 900, coo and the shortage is considered
| one of the features of the campaign.
The Democrats were the chief losers
in this shortage.
