EI Pa.o Republican by 5000.

Colorado Springs. Colo, Nov. A.
The election here to-day passed of
very quietly. the votes being only 5000
out Of 1900 registered on account OF
a cold, raw wind which prevailed all
day. Early this evening both sides
claimed a victory. but toward 10 or IL
O'Clock. when the returns OF the
straight votes began to come in, 1t
was evident to the workers on both
sides that the Republicans would carry
the county.
At first Chairman Bernard OF the
Democratic committee conceded Re-
publican majority of 1000. but later
was compelled to raise his estimate to
little over 1000. Considerable dis
appointment has been expressed over
the fact that Stimson did not run
ahead of his ticket in this county. as
he was expected to do.
Up to o'clock this morning COM
plete returns have been received from
only nine precincts In the county. 1t
is claimed that the entire Republican
ticket is elected by majority Of g.

Heavy Gain. for Republican. in Ohio.

Columbus. Ohio, Nov. 4.-The Re-
publicans have carried Ohio by next
to their highest plurality on record
Nothing above 10000 had been predict
ed. but partial returns indicate that
II will greatly exceed those figures.
The Republicans. however. lose one con-
gressman. The present Ohio delega-
tion in Congress consists of seventeen
Republicans and four Democrats. and
the returns show sixteen Republicans
and five Democrats elected.
In this tFranklin) county. which
also constitutes the Twelfth congress
sional district. the Republican plural
ity on the state ticket is 1000. while
Huling. the Republican candidate for
Congress. is defeated by 500, due to To-
cal opposition to Huling.
At midnight Chairman Dick said:
Returns to this hour do not change
our estimates of 100000 Republican
plurality. We have carried all districts
now represented in Congress by Re-
publicans. with the possible exception
OF the Twelfth, and in its place we
have probably carried the Thirteenth
district"
With . single exception the Repub-
lican plurality to-day was the highest
in the state Of Ohio. in q total vote OF
less than 100000. In 1894 the Repub-
lican record was established, with =
plurality Of 1907 votes.

NEW York CLOSE.
coisr Received Big Vote In the City,
But Republicans May Win Out.

New York. Nov tin spite of
phenomenally large vote in New York
and Kings county for Bird s. Coler.
Democrat, the returns up to q late
hour tonight indicated the election OF
Benjamin B. Odell. Republican. to the
governorship Of New York state by
over 1000 plurality.
Coler's plurality in Greater New
York exceeded LIE. 900, a surplus OF 3.-
900 above the claim made by Charles
F. Murphy. leader of Tammany hall,
but even that large vote was not suf-
ficient to overcome the Republican ma
jorities from up the state. Odell's
vote in the country districts was light
er than two years ago. but Coler's was
also lower than Stanchfield's in the
same year. In New York City Coler's
plurality was approximately 1850,
made up as follows:
New York county, $1,000; Kings
county. 26.500; Queens county, $3.50.
and Richmond county, $500.

On returns received from a major
ity of the counties where the result
was in doubt. Secretary Vivian of the
Republican state committee based the
estimate early this "wednesday
morning of q plurality outside OF
Arapahoe county ranging from 10000
to $4,000. These figures were not the
result Of guess work, but were based
upon largely completed returns. 1t
was q noticeable fact that where sup
Elementary returns were received they
nearly always showed further Repub-
lican gains.
On the basis of the county returns
Mr. Vivian was able to show the
probability that thirty-four Of the
members of the House in the next
Legislature would be Republican.
Defective and unoficial returns on
the amendments are on the whole in
clined to show that the whole list has
been lost. The defeat OF the Bucklin
proposition by an overwhelming ma
jority Ia announced at both party
headquarters.
At 4 o'clock this morning the cleo
ton Of the entire state Republican
ticket by safe majority was conced-
ed at Democratic headquarters in the
Brown Palace hotel. Milton Smith,
the state chairman, made a pretense
of claiming the state. but he could
quote no figures to support his claims
and those who had been receiving the
returns declared that they were about
identical with those received at Re-
publican headquarters.
The Democratic losses were heav-
lest in the counties on which they had
strongly relied. and as the returns
from Teller. Pueblo. Huerfano, Las
