The vote was heavy throughout the city, but the great bulk of it was cast for the Republican candidates.

The Democratic vote does not seem to have come up to the expectations of even the Republican managers, and the Swallow strength appears to be away below the expectations of the friends of the preacher candidate.

Columbus, Nov. 8. Chairman Daugh-erty said tonight, after receiving practically complete returns: uhio has given a plurality to the Republican State ticket of from 55,000 to and elected fifteen. Republican Congressmen, who will support the magniiicent administration of President McKiniey. This is a splendid indorsement of the President's administration from his own State.

Ohio probably gives a greater increased plurality than any other State in the union in support of the present national administration. We know the President better than he is known in any other State, for he is our own distinguished citizen, and we are equally as proud to pay him this tribute as he is to receive it." Chairman Daugherty sent messages to President McKinley and. Senators Foraker and Hanna. Chairman Blacker of the Democratic State committee, in conceding the State, said the result was due to the administration's successful conduct of the Spanish war. the especially strong effort in the President's State to indorse his administration, the lack of money on the part of the Democratic campaign committees, and especially to the stay-at-home Democrats.

The Republicans elect fifteen of the twenty-one Congressmen and four districts are carried by the Democrats. Two districts, the Third and Twelfth, are in doiiht. The present delegation in Congress is fifteen to six. The Republican States committee has a dispatch from George B. Cox of Cincinnati that Hamilton County gives a Republican plurality of 14.500.

As the county gave Bushnell a plurality of 1.5(H) last year this Is a Republican gain of 13.000 in ot.3 county. The vote of both parties is less every where than last year, but reports show that the Democratic losses greatly exceed those of the Republicans, so that the latter have a large plurality on the State ticket and a gain of two Congressmen.

8. In the First District William B. Shattuck, Republican, is elected to Congress. In the Second District Jacob H. Brownell, Republican, is elected.

The total vote of Hamilton County will be about 58.ono. The plurality of the Republican State ticket will be about 12,000. The majority for Congressmen in the First and Second Districts will be in that proportion. The county Republican ticket is elected by pluralities averaging 8,000, the lowest candidate being Otto Pfleger for Judge of the Court of Common Pleas. Canton, Nov.

As in the last two years, Wolcott succeeded in carrying Boston, which is usually a Democratic city. nut tne rusionists cut him to pieces in the Twin Cities.

one-fourth of the complete returns are in, and the indications are much farorabls to the Republicans. At this hour Chairman Slaughter of the State Republican committee at Omaha gives out the following for publication: One-fourth of the complete returns from Nebraska are in. On this basis M. L. Haywood.

Republican candidate for Governor, is elected by at least 7 .000 plurality. He running away ahead of his ticket, and. white Haywood's election does not necessarily mean the success of the entire Republican State ticket, the indications are much that way. Those one-fourth returns are from various parts of the State, and show a steady Republican gain. It is reasonable to suppose that there will be no further change, and that the Republican perty has gained about votes in the election.

There was something like lO.ono plurality to overcome on the fusion fide. This gain of the Republican party means the election of a Republican Legislature by about 'M plurality, thus assuring the return of a Republican Senator in the place of Mr. Allen. It also means the election of two more Republican Congressmen, in the Third and Fourth, so the net gain to the Republican party is the State ticket, the Legislature, and two Congressmen. The estimate at this hour of the fusion committee is somewhat reduced from previous estimates, but the claim is Ptill con-fid'ently made that while the Republicans have made large gains, there is not enough gain to change the result, as previously given out by the committee, and if the political status in the State is changed at all by the vote of toduy it is in favor of the Popun lists.

From a non-partisan point of view, however, the situation at this hour is favorable to the Republicans, and look at least Governor HAZEN S. PINGREE of Vavn. Lieutenant Governor O. W. ROBINSON of Houghton.

PLATT of Genesee term). Detroit, Nov. 8. Governor Pingree held his own tolerably well In today's elections. At 10 o'clock tonight the Republican State Central committee, claimed his election by from to UO.Ouo majority.

The Democratic State committee do not yet concede defeat. The Governor ran several hundred ahead of his ticket in Detroit, and ran up a plurality of in Grand Rapids. In Saginaw he doubled on his plurality of In Jackson, Lansing, Bay City, and other smaller cities he was cut considerably, but the country districts surrounding went quite strongly for Pingree. The balance of the Republican State ticket is elected. The upper peninsula gave its usual Republican majorities, but there was a great amount of splitting on Governor in the lower peninsula.

The vote on Congressmen is close in half of the twelve districts, the others returning Republicans with certainty. The Legislature will have a Republican majority, but whether Pingree or antl on the equal taxation issue is as yet undetermined. From present Indications it looks as if John B. Corliss has been defeated for Congress in this district by James H. Pound, Democratic candidate.

The Legislature will probably be Republican and the Senate the same. One exception here seems to be John A. Matthews, Republican candidate in the Fourth District, who was knifed by the Pingree forces. A bulletin from the Republican State Central committee says Pingree leads in Monroe County and carries Grand Rapids, while the entire ticket is claimed to have been elected in Muskegon County. Sixty-two precincts out of 1,840 in the State give Pingree 0.0.'Sti; Whiting.

5,345. At Flint complete returns give Pingree 850. His vote two years ago was C74. At Jackson the universal scratching of votes in each ward makes the counting slow. At this hour the indications seem to a couii uiiLii wie iuu count is CALIFORNIA IS REPUBLICAN.

The returns came in slowly. At 11:30 tonight Chairman J. B. Treat of the Republican State Central committee said: Governor Scofield Is reelected by at least 40.000. The returns from the State are coming in slowly, but enough are In to show that this is a conservative estimate of the plurality of the Governor.

The whole Republican State ticket is elected, and we are positive that nine Republican Congressmen are elected. There is still some doubt about the Second District, and I think it possible that Dahle may pull through. We have elected 70 Assemblymen, and will have 20 Republican Senators, which will give us a majority of 59 in the Legislature. It is a glorious victory. Of course, there has been a falling off from the vote of two years ago, but then the victory this year, considering the vote, is as good as two years ago." E.

C. Wall, the Democratic national committeeman, made the following statement: The claim that the State has gone Republican by 4O.00O is absurd. Less than 10 per cent of the vote is in. The returns show great Democratic gains. I am not willing to concede anything as yet, and will make no claims until more returns are received.

We have surely elected two Democratic Congressmen, Jones in the Second and Donnelly in the Fourth District." Shortly after midnight Mr. Wall on behalf of the Democratic State Central committee said: We have heard from thirty-seven out of the seventy counties in the State, and, basing the ratio of loss on the returns already in, the Republicans would have a plurality of 10.000 in the State outside of Milwaukee County. In 1S92 the Republicans had a plurality in the State outside of Milwaukee County of 7,700. Figuring on this ratio of gain and loss the balance of the State which has not been heard from will more than wipe out the apparent Republican plurality, and I am confident that when the returns are in the Democrats will have carried the State by a safe plurality." The split on the head of the ticket has been so great and makes the count so slow that but meager returns have been received as to the result in the Assembly and Senatorial districts. However, at 10 o'clock tonight Chairman Treat of the Republican State Central committee estimates that the Republicans will have seventy Assemblymen, and, including the sixteen holdover Republican Senators, twenty-six Senators.

E. C. Wall, the Democratic National committeeman, would make no estimate on the legislative Senators. Allowing for a liberal shaving from the Republican estimates and conceding to the Democrats nearly all of the doubtful districts, the Republicans will still have a good working majority on the joint ballot and will be able to elect the United States Senator. It is impossible to figure at the present time as to which candidate will have the largest vote.

There is no doubt but that some of the districts in Milwaukee County which were counted upon to go Republican have gone Democratic, and this will materially lessen the chances of J. N. Quarles, as he relied mainly for his strength on the vote of this county. A number of Babcock men have been elected not only in the Third Congressional District but also in the Eighth, Tenth, and Seventh Districts, and it is the opinion of many of the political leaders that he will lead on the first ballot for the Senatorship. Isaac Stephenson of Marinette will have the vote of the Assemblymen and Senators of the Ninth Congressional District practically solid.

From the returns received from Oshkosh It appears that some of the districts in the Sixth Congressional District are in doubt, and the loss of only one or two of them would materially weaken the candidacy of S. A. Cook, who is the candidate from that district. jwever, none of these avowed candidates have any special advantage over the other, and it is probable that Judge Webb of Grand Rapids may be taken up as a compromise candidate. As was expected there was a light vote cast, especially in the particularly strong Republican districts.

This accounts in the main for the falling off from the pluralities of two and four years ago. The fact that Governor Scofield ran behind his ticket was no surprise to the political managers or those who watched the trend of events in the State.

NEW JERSEY IS REPUBLICAN. Lacon. 111.. Nov. 8.

Special. The excitement in Marshall County over the lynching of Stewart, the Toluca negro, near Lacon on Monday morning, is rapidly subsiding. The disposition is to treat it as a closed chapter. Sheriff Parkell says he will bring the matter before the grand jury, but that does not meet till January, and with the present condition of public sentiment it Is evident that it will be difficult to secure any evidence. Stewart's body was buried today in the potter's field, having laid In the city hall from the time it was cut down from the tree to which he was hanged.

The negro had a wife and child at Toluca. but his wife refused to receive the body, and refused to have anything to" do with the funeral.

m. show the election of William A. Stone for Governor and the whole Republican State ticket by pluralities which will exceed lOO.OOO. Colonel Stone's vote will be somewhat less than that for the remainder of the State ticket. The Legislature will have not less than 39 Republican Senators out of 50, and 140 Republican members of the lower House out of 204 giving a Republican majority on joint ballot of over 70.

It is impossible at this time to determine just what the anti-Quay strength will" be. The State organization claims a majority of Quay members. This is a Republican loss on Congress. The Swallow vote has experienced a collapse. It has been returned from comparatively few counties, and it seems likely to be something less than last year.
