We're voting outside the state.
The only other time when the plu-
rality exceeding 100000 in Ohio was in
1894, for secretary of state, when there
was panic and the Democrats did not
vote.
The scenes at the city hail.. where
Chairman Dick, Secretary Malloy and
other received returns tonight, were at
times wild as they read out the cleo
ton of Republican members of the
legislature from such close and Demo-
cratic counties as Hooking, Vinton, CO.
shocton, Knox, Ross, Paulding, Preble,
Muskingom and Williams. John H.
Clarke, the Democratic opponent Of
Hanna for senator, but recently re-
moved from Youngstown, Mahoning
county, to Cleveland, and when the re-
turns showed that the Republicans had
elected both members of the legisla-
ture from Mahoning county there was
as great q demonstration as there was
when it was announced that the john
SOMEONE'S fusion at Toledo had failed
by the largest plurality ever known In
Lucas county.
The greatest demonstrations were
over the announcements from Cleve-
land that the Republicans had carried
Cuyahoga county, the home of Hanna
and Clarke, Herrick and Johnson, by q
decisive plurality. 1t is said that the
Republicans have carried three-fourths
of the eighty eight counties. Shortly
before midnight Chairman Dick an
nounced that the Herrick plurality for
governor would exceed $4,000, and that
there would be over 100 of the 143
votes in the legislature for the re-
election of Senator Hanna. 1t is thought
that the Republican majority in the
legislature on joint ballot will exceed
seventy five, or double that of any
previous legislature.
An hour after midnight Chairman
Dick, of the Republican state commit
tee, gave out his last announcement for
the night that the Republican plurality
would exceed 1850, that the Republic
ans had elected 26. the Democrats 4,
state senators. with three districts not
heard from; that the Republicans had
elected 81 representatives and the DEM
ocrats IL; with twelve counties not
heard from, assuring Republican ma
jority of SO on joint ballot for senator,
with fifteen votes not yet determined.
The Republicans elected ]. E. Hard
ing in the district that includes Butler,
Brown, Clermont and Warren counties,
all Democratic except Warren. Butler
county Is known in the state as the
Gibraltar of Democracy" The Re

Since midnight Secretary Richardson,
of the Democratic state central COM
mittee, said that he was not able to
give the reasons for the results on
either state or legislature tickets.
Before closing for the night the Re-
publican state central committee had
the detailed report of this county
showing that Johnson ran about 500
votes behind the rest of the Democratic
ticket. If this vote is maintained else
where the Republican plurality of 1885,
600 for governor will not be maintained
for the rest Of the Republican ticket.
