The RESULT IN OHIO
Dick Claims Republican Ticket
Won by Big Margin.
RETURNS WERE SLOW COMING IN


Congress Will Consist Of II Repub-
lieans and Four Democrats-The
Republican r ylor Won at Columbus.
Columbus, o., Nov. S.-Considering
that the state ticket this year was
small, having only four Offices to fill,
the semi-oficial returns are somewhat
tardily reported.
Based on reports received so far
Chairman Dick reiterated his claim
of a plurality of 10000 for Carmi
Thompson, Republican candidate for
secretary Of state, although the COM
mittee had received complete returns
from only 80 out OF the SS counties
when he made the statement.
Complete unofficial returns received
from so counties and close esti-
mates from the other 3S counties of
Ohio give Carmi A. Thompson (RepO
for secretary of state, a plurality OF
46,7SS over Samuel A. Hoskins
(Dem) The remainder OF the state
Republican ticket was elected prob
ably with a still larger margin.
The gain of three congressman is
the net profit Of the Democrats in the
general results in Ohio. They are 7.
T. Ansberry in the Fifth district, MD.
Denver in the Sixth, General |. r.
Sherwood in the Ninth and w. A. Ash
brook in the Seventeenth. Although
Sherwood ran as an independent in
the Ninth district, he is one Of the old
Democratic war horses Of Ohio.
These three, with NJ. f. Touvelle
in the Fourth, will give the Democrats
four Ohio congressman instead of only
one. as at present.
Chairman CARRIER of the Democratic
state committee, does not dispute
Chairman Dicks figures, but he is
claiming the election of five out of
the 2l congressman in the state, the
late returns indicating a plurality of
as for Sherwood, the Independent
Democratic candidate in the Ninth
district Chairman Dick refuses TO
concede Sherwood's election, saying
that with the result so small 1t will
require the official canvass of the
vote 10 determine 1t.
Early returns on which the Demo-
Gratis claimed to have carried Cuya-
hoga and Hamilton counties, were re-
versed by the more accurate reports
received since. The Republicans
made a clean sweep in Hamilton coun-
ty and carried Cuyahoga county for
the head of the state ticket by 375.
The Democrats won on their county
ticket in Cuyahoga, except Baehr for
recorder. McGlory, Democratic can
didate for sheriff, having a majority
of 6160 over his opponent.
Franklin county elected the Repub-
lican local t''ket by majorities all the
way from 2, 20 to 440O. The Twelfth
congressional district, which consists
Of Franklin county alone, reelected
Congressman E. L. Taylor by $3.50
over Col. w. A. Taylor (Dem.), the
well-known newspaper man.
Returns so far give no accurate idea
of the comparative strength Of the
minor parties.
Nicholas Longworth was reelected
to congress by over 5000 plurality in
the First congressional district. Her
man Goebel, against whom a particu-
larly bitter contest was made, was
