OHIO

Columbus, o.. Nov. 5.-The Republi-
cans carried Ohio by next to their
highest plurality on record. Nothing
above 10000 had been predicted, but
the returns Indicate that it will greatly
exceed that figure. At the same time
the Republicans made no gain in Ohio
congressman, but are likely to lose
one. The present Ohio delegation in
congress consists of II Republicans
and four Democrats, and the returns
show 16 Republicans and four Demo
Gratis elected, with the 18th district
in doubt. During the campaign it was
said that any reduction of the plural
ity in Ohio would be considered a vic
tory for Mayor Johnson over SeSnator
Hanna in the senatorial contest of
next year.

Doubtful if New Leg Can Elect
U. S. Senators.


U. S. Senators.
Wilmington, Del, Nov. 5.-The COM
pleXion of the next Delaware general
assembly is in doubt. 1t is apparent
that deadlock on the two United
States senatorial vacancies will be the
result, as was the case two years ago.
The Regular Republican state commit
tee claims that the body will be COM
posed of 19 Union Republicans, 8 Regu-
lar Republicans, % Democrats and 8
doubtful. The majority in joint ballot
and the members necessary to elect
United States senators is 27.
Mr. Salisbury places the Kent county
membership, including two Democratic
hold-over senators, at seven Demo-
Gratis, seven Union Republicans and a
tie in the 9th district. His advices
from Sussex county are that three DEM
ocratic representatives and one Demo-
cratic senator were elected yesterday.
The Democrats have a holding-over
senator in Sussex.
The Democrats gain five members in
New Castle county. Joseph L. Cahall,
the Union Republican chairman of Sus-
sex county, claimed at midnight that
the Addicks Republicans have elected
seven representatives and two senators
in that county.

II KILLED WATCHING RETURNS
People Blown to Pieces In New York
Ey Premature Explosion.


New York, Nov. 5.-By a series of
explosions of pyrotechnic bombs and
other fireworks last night among the
vast multitude gathered in Madison
Square to witness the ascension of an
air ship and the display of the cleo
ton returns II persons were killed out
right, many being blown almost to
pieces and at least so injured, many
of them fatally.
1t is estimated that at least 10000
persons thronged the square at the
time Of the explosions, which were sue
ceeded by a frightful panic in which
hundreds were thrown down and tram
pied under foot.
Five hundred policemen and all the
ambulances in the city were instantly
summoned and the dying and those
most seriously injured were removed
to the hospitals. In addition to these
many of the wounded were taken away
by friends. Nine men in charge of the
fireworks display were placed under
arrest Immediately after the explosion.

MARYLAND

Baltimore, Nov. 5.-The election in
Maryland, which was only for con-
gressmen, passed off quietly with the
exception of few minor disturbances
in the eastern district of this city.
OF the six congressman, the Republi-
cans elect four and the Democrats two.
The vote in the Sd district was very
close, Wachter having a majority OF
about 100. The judges in one precinct
of the Sd district had dispute be-
cause of the imperfect marking of bal
lots, and the ballot box was sealed and
placed in the care of the election SUI
pervisors. The disputed precinct is nor
the result.

was not sufficient to overcome the Re-
publican majorities from up the state.
Odelps vote in the country districts
was lighter than two years ago, but
Coler's was also lower than Stanch-
fields in the same year. In New York
city Colers plurality was approximate

Queens, $500, and Richmond. $500

Frank w. Higgins; secretary of state,
John F. O'Brien; comptroller, Nathan

attorney general, Henry B. Conan;

districts in New York city and Long

members of the national house to the
Republicans, the heavy Coler vote hav-
ing carried, according to the returns,
the first 10 districts in the state for the
Democratic candidates. All returns in
dicated that Judge Gray, Democratic
candidate for judge of the Court of

We are informed that some read
ers of the Item were of opinion that
the article upon the county debt
formed part of the campaign liter
ature. This is great mistake. The
county debt is not a political ques-
ton, nor do we intend to agitate the
subject for any political purpose
whatever. The News Item does in
tend to take keen interest in the IL
nancial affairs of the county. The
past is past but the future is before
us. We have no unkind words for
former commissioners and certainly
none for those now elected. Messrs.
Yonkin, Biggar, and Gahan are men
of intelligence and honesty and each
has substantial interest in the
county. We mean to aid them if
they take hold determindely to di-
minish the present debt. If they do
not, we are equally determined to
criticise their actions.
A large part of the increase of the
debt has been occasioned by buying
iron bridges at extravagent prices.
We expect the new board of COM
missioners will go slow on iron
bridges. There are other economies
which can be made and we look for
careful watchfulness all along the
line. Every year the hemlock for
ests now being assessed at $12 per
acre are being stripped, and the val
uation going down while the debt
increases. We expect that the new
Board will insist that the Union
Tanning Co. and other owners of
timbered lands will help pay this
debt, ann not leave it (when the
hemlock is all gone) as heavy bur-
den on our farmers and business
men.
There is IA grave doubt whether
all our county debt is legal. We ex-
pect the new Board to carefully test
that question by competent legal adj
vice, and we warn them now that
they best go slow on comforting
judgements or signing interest bear
ing orders for borrowed money,
And further we wish to say to the
new Board not to be afraid to spend
enough time to do the county work
properly. Some ignorant people
think it is the best Board of Com
missioners which puts in the fewest
days. But that is not our idea. If
the new commissioners will give as
close attention to the business of the
county as they would to their own
business, every day so spent is valua-
bic to the tax payers. Take every
day necessary, do the work your
selves, understand every contract,
know the fact about every bill, and
at the end of the year charge the
county for every day spent in its
service. The money will be well
earned and no intelligent tax pay
er will kick. This is enough to out
line a few of the notions at hand and
we can assure our readers that the
Item is going to keep the closest
watch ON county affairs and speak
out its mind regardless of any person
or any party.
