COLUMBUS, O.-It is definitely
settled by later returns that the
Fourth, Ninth and Seventeenth con-
gressional districts have gone demo-
cratic
Chairman Dick last night reiterated
his claim of a plurality of $4,000 for
Carmi Thompson, republican candi-
date for secretary of state, although
the committee has received complete
returns from only SO out of the So
counties in the state. Chairman Gar
ber, of the democratic state commit
tee, does not dispute Dicks figures,
but he is claiming the election of five
out of the Il congressman in the state,
the late returns indicating a plurality
| OF 4S for Sherwood, the independent
democratic candidate in the Ninth
district Chairman Dick refuses to
| concede Sherwood's election, saying
that with the result so close, it will re-
quire the official canvass of the vote
to determine 1t.
Secretary Flickinger, of the govern
or's office, who came up from Dayton,
gives Harding's plurality for congress,
over ex-Gov. James e. Campbell, as
1,600. Butler county defeated the ex-
governor, as he ran enough ahead of
Harding in Montgomery county alone
to have elected him.
Cincinnati, O.-According to the
returns, Thompson, republican, for
| secretary of state, carried the state by
| plurality of 1885. Thompsons plu-
| rality in Hamilton county is S,671 All
| the republicans on the county ticket
| are elected, except the infrmary di-
rector, by pluralities ranging from 5S1
to 1902.
Returns indicate that Stanley Mat
| thews, democratic candidate for cir
| cult Judge, ran ahead of the rest of
| the democratic ticket and that he is
| elected by plurality of about 70. The
circuit comprises Hamilton, Butler,
Warren, Clermont and Clinton coun-
| ties.
Cleveland, o. - Cuyahoga coun-
| ty has gone democratic, except for
Herman Baehr (repD, who has been

dicate that every other democrat has
been elected by pluralities probably
running from 1000 to 6 1000.

NEW YORk.-With the official
vote of but three counties missing,
Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler apparently
is elected lieutenant governor on the
Observation-Disclosures league ticket
by plurality approXimating 100
votes over Linn Bruce, republican. To
arrive at these figures, Bruce's prob
able pluralities in the counties of Es-
sex, Ontario and Niagara are based on
the vote for the republican guberna-
torial candidate. Fulton county is
also missing, excepting a statement of
Bruce's plurality over Chanler. While
slight changes may be made in the re-
turns from several counties, it is not
believed they will materially reduce
Chanler's lead, but may increase it. 1t
appears that all the other candidates
on the democratic state ticket are
elected by small pluralities.
The republican managers have de-
cided to make applications in the SUI
preme court of the several counties in
this vicinity for orders compelling the
production in court of all void and

AS EngIishmen View the Election.

London, Eng-All the morning
newspapers publish editorial articles
on the result of the election in New
York. With scarcely an exception they
comment on the close vote as an indi-
cation of the popular discomfort with
enormous combinations of capital.
The Daily Telegraph thinks the mora,
is that Americans, while mot quite
ready to accept 'Hearstism' in fun"
are heartily sick of being robbed by
trusts and corporations" The Mail
considers the result as an evidence Of
growing evaporation against trusts
and their tactics.

With two-thirds of the state vote
tabulated, Mr.. Guilds plurality was es-
timated late last night at about $4,000.
The republicans reelected their en-
tire state ticket, although Lieut. Gov.
Draper fell considerably behind Gov.
Guild. The next Legislature will be
republican by the usual large majority
in both houses, and this will ensure
the election of United States Senator
Murray Crane, of Dalton. who is at
present completing brief term.
The Massachusetts delegation in
congress will remain practically the
same, although spirited contests in the
Fifth, Sixth, Tenth and Eleventh dis
tricts made the results in those sec
tions doubtful at an early stage of the
tabulation.

A Murder and Robbery.

Stafford Springs, Conn. - Mrs.
Henry Williams, about 80 years
old, was found murdered in her home
near here Thursday afternoon. Rob
berry apparently was the motive, and
the murderer is believed to be a
tramp. The body of Mrs. Williams
was found lying near a stove on the
floor of the kitchen, with the throat
cut, head battered and towel twisted
around her neck. Near the body lay
a knife and club. Following the
murder the man made a search for
money, for the house was ransacked
ard about 800 in money taken.

aged 50 years, known as the Barley
King from 1890 to 1898, during which

and in Winona. The concern during
these years controlled the barley mar
ket and had under its direction the
largest string of grain elevators in the
world. At one time O'Neill was re-
puted to have been worth several mil
lion dollars. Family troubles cost him
almost his entire fortune.
