OHIO PLURALITY $4,000
Herrick Made a Phenomenal Run In
The Buckeye State.

Columbus, o.. Nov. 5.-The repub.
lican plurality in Ohio Is about 49,
900 for governor and majority In the
legislature on joint ballot for sena-
tor Is ninety.three.
When 1t became known last night
that there was a Landslide" all the
agencies for gathering official re.
turns quit except Chairman Dick of
the republican state committee, who
yesterday secured reports from all
his lightweight committees and last
night announced that Herrick. repu.-
lican, had carried sixty-two counties
and John, on, democrat, twenty-six for
governor, most of the latter by small
and the former by large pluralities.
On total vote of less than 100000
Herrick received pluralities In the
counties sggregating 1851 and John.
son 20,476. SO that Herrick had a
net plurality In the state Of 114,706
on estimates that may be increased
from 1000 to 1000 by the official
count. The plurality on the rest OF
the republican state ticket will likely
be from 1000 to 5000 less than that
OF Herrick. The total vote for John
son was less than that of any demo-
cratic candidate for governor for
years.
On the legislative ticket the demo.
Gratis carried four less counties than
fer governor, or less than one-fourth.

shifting his palm with his clenched
fist. Pope took no notice, and after
walking the deck for some time, he
went below into his cabin for a cigar
and his fine telescope, with which to
follow the departure of the Thetis. He
heard Crystal talking to the girl in
the next cabin. and strained his ear,
even laying 1t against the bulkhead to
catch what they said. Unhappily for
the listener the brig was slightly
pitching, and the groans of the fabric,
its occasional squeals, the jar Of the
rudder and the noise of the wheel
ropes, troubled and deafened him. So
he abandoned a hopeless effort, to
light his cigar and pick up his tele-
scope.

THE BIRD OF THE FAMILY.
Some Facts About the Stork and Its
Nest.

Some Facts About the stork and Its
Nest.
In Holland the nests of storks are
generally on the summit of tall post,
put up on purpose for them, on which
is fixed an old cart wheel. Says an
English writer: "A Dutch gentleman
of my acquaintance has one such post
in his grounds within sight of his
library window, but he improves on
the cart wheel by having an iron
framework for the reception Of the
nest. The first year it was put up,
toward the end of June, a solitary
young stork used to come daily and
carefully inspect this framework. I
saw him there myself one day, stand.
Ing in the empty receptacle exactly
like q would-be benedict inspecting an
empty house, contemplating the view
and wondering if the drains are all
right. The verdict was apparently
favorable. for next season saw the
nest occupied by the newly welded
pair. Their power of wing is very
fine, and on hot days I have watched
them ascending in spiral circles, hard
ly moving their broad, black wings.
till they have looked no bigger than
flies. After the young are Matched
they appear to be suspicious of one an
other and unwilling to leave the nest

The Booty.


Next morning was as shining as
the splendid day that had vanished.
At halfpast eight the cabin breakfast
was ready. Capt. Pope and Capt.
Crystal awaited Miss Lauras emer-
gence from her cabin. The square
man was seated; Pope stood. and con-
tinued to stand until she came, when
he saluted her with low bow, and a
look of helpless alteration. After
some commonplaces about the pass
age OF the night, the comfort of her
cabin and the like, the conversation
shaped itself thus:
when do you mean to give the
men sight of the stuff they're crav-
ing to see, Pope?" asked Crystal, try

Mcclellan Elected Mayor By
Plurality Of 63,6l7 Over

DEVERY WAS NOT IN THE RACE

and Tammany Won Despite Almost
Unanimous Opposition of the Press
and Pulpit Of the City.

New York, Nov. AFTER a remark.
able campaign in which there was
united against him nearly all of the
newspapers and practically every
minister Of religion In the city, Geo.
b. Mcclellan. son of the civil war
commander, was yesterday elected
third mayor Of Greater New York over
Seth Low, fusionist, the present may
VI, by plurality of 61,414.
Edward M. Grout was elected
comptroller, and Charles v. Fornes.
president Of the board Of aldermen.
These two men were originally on the
fusion ticket and were endorsed by
rammany. whereupon the fusionlsts
took their names from the Low ball
lot and nominated other candidates.
1t was the nomination of Grout and
Hugh Mclaughlin. the veteran leader
of the Kings county democracy. to
bolt and declare that no would not
support men who were not democrats.
In spite Of his detection, however.
Mcclellan, Grout and Fornes carried
Kings county. The management of
their campaign there was taken over
by State Senator Patrick II. McCar-
rem when Mclaughlin refused his aid
A surprise was the low vote for
Wm. s. Devery, formerly chief of po-
lice, who ran on an independent
ticket, which was given practically no
support.
This result shows trem endous
change of public sentiment since
Mayor Lows election two years ago.

he carried all the boroughs but
Queens, his plurality in Manhattan
and the Bronx being 1851 and Brook
Ign 25,767, and in Richmond 763. In
Queens, Shepard, democrat, had a
plurality of sci.
Yesterday Mcclellan carried Man
haitian and the Bronx by about $4,000,
a gain of $4,000; Brooklyn by about
5000, a gain of about $1,000. and
Queens by about 5000, a gain OF
more than 1000. This makes total
net gain for Mcclellan Of about 103,-
900, as compared with Shepard's vote
of two years ago.
Low carried only one borough,
Richmond, by about 200.

Pope" exclaimed Crystal, folding his
arms and speaking in a voice that
seemed to suggest an apologize pos

with us but for them. Since she's
come into my hands I must hold my
self answerable to my cousin for her
safety and well-being."
We'll both see to that" respond
ed Pope.
At this moment there was a move
ment among the men about the gal
ley, and number of them, preceded
by Grindal, came aft. Pope came to a
stand, and lightly pulled at his cigar
with an unmoved face. Crystal swayed
on wide legs behind him.

That there Thetis has been a tough

Pope coldly.

what he's worth already"
That's It," exclaimed a man.
Who'll do the valuing part?"
Draw lots for it, If you like, my

ously.

bin.
The instant pause that followed
seemed, to use the language of the
poet Pope, "To hesitate dislike" Then

YES" answered Pope at once, I'M
able to catch sight of the expression
of Crystals face.
What price do you value her at"
continued, IF so be as how you've
gone into it?"
Pope could not help laughing. He
laughed loud and continuously, and

have never heard of, and which most
of you couldn't read If you had, you'd
discover that the lady is put down as
one of those females whose value is
far above rubies."
What's she worth, captain?" said
Grindal
Give her value a name and deduct
it from my share, and so reward me
for the money I'm putting into your
pockets" cried Pope, with an excel
iently-handled note of scorn in his de
livery.

Pope, looking round, could dimly see
Miss Crystal standing in the compan.

said he, approaching the ruffian by o
couple of PAGES. and putting on his
overwhelming manner OF command,
perceptible enough to the fellow who
stood close. Tomorrow well bring
the plumber on deck and attempt such
a valuation as shall enable every man
to understand what his earnings al.
