Earlier Ro turns.
Columbus, o., Nov. 6.-The republi-
cans carried Ohio by a heavy increased
plurality on their state ticket and will
have a greatly enlarged majority in
the Legislature. The result continues
the republicans in power in the state,
making an epoch of twelve years in
succession for that party in Ohio, and
1t insures the reelection OF Senator
Foraker. The republican plurality on
the state ticket is estimated at 60, 900.
The extent of the republican success
Is attributed TO the silver democrats
not voting; to the attitude of John r.
Mclean, the democratic candidate for
governor two years ago, and the Ohio
member of the democratic national
committee; to tho superior organiza-
ton Of the republicans and other
causes.
The republicans attribute the result
largely to the popular desire not to
disturb the prevailing prosperity in ac-
cordance with Senator Hanna's appeal
10 'let we'll enough alone;" TO the de-
sire 20 support President Roosevelt in
carrying out the policies of President
Mckinley and to the Endorsement of
Governor Nash and Senator Foraker.
Chairman Dick sent a message TO Gov
ernor Nash 1t the state house and tele-
grams to Senator Foraker at Clncin-
natl and Senator Hanna at Cleveland,
congratulating them on these lines.
In Hamilton county, which includes
Cincinnati, there was n mixed delega-
ton in the last legislature when John
II. Mclean, democrat, carried that
county for governor. The delegation
then had only two republicans. This
year the delegation consists Of thirteen
republicans. Lucas county had two re-
publican members in the last legisla-
tuTe, but under the new census 1t has
four members, all republicans. The
democrats gain four members in Frank
lin and one In Adams and Pike coun-
ties. The republicans gain one mem
Der each in Summit, Muskingum, Ross
and Williams counties.
In the last legislature Montgomery
had one republican n one democratic
member. This year that county elected
three republican members. so far as
returns are in since midnight, local
option candidates OF both parties for
the legislature have been defeated. The
liquor men are especially jubilant over
the defeat OF r. II. Clark, one Of the
republican candidates In Franklin
county, who was the author OF the
local option" bill that was defeated In
the last legislature.

publican gains In Cincinnati, Cleveland,
Toledo, GAINESVILLE, Portsmouth, Can

notable exception being Columbus, the
home Of both Governor Nash and

outside OF the large cities. Some of the
democratic counties report the largest
republican gains.
