Columbus. o., Nov. e.--That John M.
Pattison has been elected governor for
the next three years by a plurality rum
ming well above 1000 Is well settled, as
also Is the democratic working majority
by both houses of the legislature. but
there is still some uncertainty as to the
balance of the state ticket. The earlier
returns were apparently from sections ia
vofable to the governor for he held q
lead over the balance Of his ticket until
Wednesday. when fuller returns from tho
country districts cut into his vote severe
ly and by the middle Of the afternoon
he seemed to be over 10000 votes behind
the balance of his ticket. II that differ
ence stands the victory on these other
offices will depend on the size OF Patti

of the choice OF the entire democratic
list
