claimed victory for the canal plan at Z o'clock

thought the entire vote in the city for the
canals was 1858. whereas this figure was for
only "a out OF JOS election districts. Although
figures for the remaining districts ill not be
ohtainable tonight. Mr. Raymond claims that
the canal question was carried in Buffalo by a
majority Of about 10000 votes. He bases this
claim on the showing made in the siXty-four
districts. and declares that this showing means
that the State has voted for the canals Mr.
Raymonds conclusions are accepted as au-

Record Breaking PluraIities for
Herrick and Hanna.

Columbus, Ohio. Nov. 3.-The Republicans
broke their record in Ohio to-day in pIurali-
ties for Governor by electing Myron T Her
rick (RepJ over Tom L. Johnson (Dem) by
considerably over 100000. The plurality on
joint ballot of 100 in the legislature for the
re- election of Senator Hanna more than doubles
any previous record.
on account of the vote on five constitutional
amendments. the counting was delayed all over
Ohio tonight and when returns We're secured
they could not be compared with those of any
preceding State election. the seventy-one
municipalities with five thousand population
or over had been redistricted under a new NUM-
cipal code that went into effect this year and
changed the voting precincts in those reorgan-
lied municipalities. Almost all the returns re-
ceived were from the cities. in which the usual
rate Of gains or losses could not he definitely
determined. but most Of them made such Re-
publican gains over their vote last April with
which comparisons could not be made. as to in
dictate that the drift was with the Republicans
in the towns even more than in the rural dis
tricts.
AS early as 10 o'clock interest slackened. as
there was no longer any doubt about the result
and the only question was as to the size of the
state plurality and the majority on joint ballot
for Senator.
There was much talk among State leaders Of
both PARTIES about Mcclellan going up I'm New
york and Johnson going down in Ohio" having
some effect on the Democratic possibilities for
next year. There has been a precedent in Ohio
t~ the Democratic candidate for Governor the
year previous to national conventions being
made one OF the delegates ut large to the DEM
ocratic National Convention. and il is evident
