OF the board Of aldermen
1hese two men were originally on the
fusion ticket and were Endorsed by Tam
many, whereupon the fusionists took their
names from the Low ballots and nomi-
mated other candidates.
1t was the nomination OF Grout and
Fornes by Tammany that caused Hugh
mclaughlin, veteran leader of the Wings
county democracy to bolt and declare
that he would not support men who were
not democrats. In spite of his detection.

for Low in that borough
From the day Mr.. Low was nominated,
his supporters urged his reelection on
the ground that no partisan question
was involved but that every man should
vote to uphold the existing administra-

it had done much to stamp out the

state indicate the elections of repub-
lican mayors in Syracuse. Rome, Elmira,
Plattsburg, Rochester, Albany. Bingham
ton. WATERFOWL and Oneida. In Oswego,
Utica, Schenectady. Troy and Amster-
dam democratic mayors were elected
Returns from the assembly districts
up state indicate a few gains by the
republicans the returns up to II p m.
showing four republican assemvlymen
in districts formerly represented by
Democrats. From many of the upstate
assembly districts, however. no reports
had been received.
In New York county the republicans

OHIO.
Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 4.-Republicans
broke their record in Ohio yesterday in
plurality for governor by the election Of
Myron T. Herrick. over Mayor Tom l..
Johnson. democrat, by considerably more
than 100000 plurality. The plurality on
joint ballot of more than seventy-five in
the legislature for the election of Senator
Hanna, more than doubles any previous
record.
The democratic state committee soon
abandoned it's rooms last night and gave
out no statements. Chairman Salem was
in Cleveland with Mayor Johnson, John
H. Clark, the democratic candidate for
senator and other democratic candidates.
Chairman Dick, of the republican COM
mittee. said the result was due to tho
remarkable personality Of Hanna, popu-
larity Of Herrick, endorsement of Roose-
welt and the state administration" and
that these conditions brought about har-
mony among the republicans while thu
democrats were divided into factions and
especially lone great faction that repudi-
ated the single tax and other fads Of Tom
Johnson
Ohio has exceeded 100. 900 plurality only
twice. In 1868, John Brough. republican,
was electer governor of Ohio by 101, O98,
when his democratic opponent, Clement
L. Vallandigham. was an exile in Cana
da. and the soldiers were voting outside
the state.
The only other time when the plurality
exceeded 600 in Ohio was in 1894, for
secretary of state. when there was a
, panic and the democrats did not vote.
The scenes at the city hall, where
! Chairman Dick. Secretary Maloy and
others received returns last night. were at
times wild, as they read out the election
of republican members of the Legislature
from such close and democratic counties
as Hooking Vinton. Coshocton, Knox.
Ross. Paulding. Preble. Metskinum and
Williams. John H. Clarke, the democratic
opponent of Hanna for senator. but re-
Gently removed from Youngstown to
Cleveland, and when the returns showed
that the republicans had elected both
members of the legislature from Mahon-
ing county. there was great demonstra-
ton. as there was when it was announced
that tho Johnson Jones fusion at Toledo
had failed by the largest plurality ever
known in Lucas county.
The greatest demonstrations were over
the announcements from Cleveland that
the republicans had carried Cayahoga
county, the home of Hanna and Clarke,
Herrick and Johnson, by decisive plu.
