McKinley and Pro tection have received a substantial send-off at the hands of the Ohio people. At midnight the returns show that the Major has been elected with a plurality ranging from 13,000 to 21,000 votes. The latter amount is Chairman Hahn's estimate, and he claims both branches of the Legisla ture, with a good majority on joint ballot. The Republican gains were made all over the State, even in Hamilton, the home of Governor Campbell. At this 'writing the Columbus Republicans are whooping it up like wild men. Large companies of men are parading the streets, blowing tin horns and howling for McKinley. Any Amount of Enthusiasm. The Bepublicans receirfd the returns in the City Hall, and thf large room was jammed with enthusiastic people to a late hour. Judge Field, of Columbus, had charge of the arrangements. Chairman Hahn and his men occupied places near the iront of the stage. About id o'clock Chairman Xeal is sued c bulletin cenceding the election of McKinley and the Republican Legisla ture. "When his bulletin was read in the City Hall a large picture of McKinley was displayed, ornamented with two flags. This was the signal for a terrific outburst, and the applause lasted fully five minutes. Men cheered and blew horns until their throats gave out Captain Matthews pound ed vigorously for order, but it was of no trail. The boys were determined to have their yell, ant1 theyJiad it CaniplH.il Concedes His Defeat. At midnight Governor Campbell and " Chairman Xeal threw up the sponee. All evening the Chairman, Colonel Taylor, the veteran, Al Carlisle and other Democrats Eat around a large table in the Democratic headquarters aud closely watched the re turns. As the gains came in from the country districts, they began to look dubious and in a short time gave up the fight. Chafrman Xeal about 10 o'clock said: "The Democratic party is defeated. Mc Kinley will have a majority of 12,000 or more. We expected to gain votes in the country districts, but mised it Governor Campbell and I bave had to fight the battle alone. The Rural Districts. Settled It. The party received very little help from outside of the State, and a number of Demo crats in Ohio laid down, and did nothing. "We never expected 'anything from Hamil ton connty, and now that the rural districts have gone back on us, nothing remains but defeat I can't tell anything about the Leg islative ticket McKinley's gain in the State outside of Hamilton county averages a little over two to the precinct It may be more.

Comparisons were made with Secretary of State Ryan's vote. From the start the re turns indicated that McKinley had a walk over. The famous Western Reserve was in line, and rolled up an old time majority. The expected slump in the rural districts had not occurred. For once Governor Campbell had to recede from his elaim that he never misjudged an election. The Gov ernor maintained a bold front to the last, and then gracefully concedld a victory to his rival.

At 1:30 Chair man Hahn said he could see no reason why he should change his estimate, and he then claimed from 19,000 to 21,000 for McKin ley. He put the Major's plurality in Hamilton county at 7,500, about 1,000 less than his figures before the election. "We have made gains in nearly every part of the State," he said. "The Western Reserve has done well. This is the largest majority the party nasi given lor somej years, though We had a good vote in 1885. I claim the Legislature with a majority, but I am unable to give figures now." Thirty-five precincts out of 47 in Toledo showed a Republican loss of 35 votes, but the Republicans claim Lucas county by 1,200 to 1,500 votes, and the election of four Representatives. General Williams is probably elected to the Legislature in "Wil liams county, now represented by a Demo-crat-and the figures indicate that General Walcutt was successful in Franklin county. At 1 o'clock Q5 precincts in Hamilton county pointed a Democratic gain of 8G8, about 1G to the precinct In the State 379 precincts showed a Republican gain of 1,515, or about iour to the precinct There arc 2,673 precincts in the State, and of this number Hamilton county has about 270. If the Democratic ratio of gain should be maintained in that county the Republican loss would foot up in round numbers 4,500. If the Republican ratio of gain in the Slate at large is kept up at four to the precinct McKinley's plurality would be about 19,000 less the Hamilton county loss of 4,500, making his plurality at least 14,500. This vote is based on Ryan's vote of last year. M'KINLEY VOTED STRAIGHT. How tho Protection Champion Spent Elec tion Day His Friends and Neighbors Made It ricasant ror Him The Re. turns Received Complacently. Cantox, Nov. 3. Special Major Mc Kinley, after his closing meeting last night, retired to his rooms at the Hotel Hurford, where, for a couple of hours, he received callers and answered the innumerable tele grams which showered upon him from all over Ohio. This morning, bright and early, lie arose, and after breakfast walked to his voting place at precinetB of the first ward, several blocks from the hotel, where he voted. His friends about the polls cheered him heartily as he performed this duty as a citi zen, and it is believed he voted his ticket straight Then, after a drive about town, he re turned to the hotel, spending the day in ubsolute quiet with Ills wife. This evening afcpcclai wire was run into his hotel, :indho was surrounded by a group of intimate friends and a few Republican leaders. He received returns from over the State.

Republican Losses In Hamilton Connty. CiscrsNATi, Nov. 3. At midnight the re turns received left no doubt that Campbell's vote in Hamilton connty was holding up to that of Cromley In 1890, while McKinley's had fallen bc)ow the vote for Ryan. In 110 precincts in the county, nearly one-half, the net Democratic gain-was 1,838. Tho same ratio continued would give McKinley a plurality in the countvof 8,700.

RUSSELL RE-ELECTED. ' THE ELECTION IN MASSACHUSETTS AS CLOSE AS ANT. Republican Gains in the Country Districts Democracy's Big Vote in Boston The New Law as to the Connt Delays Re. Knits. Bostok, Nov. 3. On account of the new law passed by ttAMlast Legislature, requir ing votes to be counted bytwo different of ficials, in order to secure correctness, the returns are coming in more slowly from all sections of the State than ever before, al tbongh the electoral machinery has never been in more perfect condition than in the present election. The returns from 50 country towns show a net Republican gain of 708, or 14 per town over last year. On this basis, the Republican gain in the 353 towns of the State would be 4,942. Last year Governor Russell's plurality in the State was 9,053. Indications so far from the large cities are that he has held his pluralities of last year, and that he is elected by" at least 4,000 plurality. The balance of the Republican State ticket is undoubtedly elected. As' the returns of only 50 towns are now in, it is utterly im possible to give any idea of the complexion of the Legislature. Another dispatch gays: There never was an election in Boston until to-day's when there was not a foregone conclusion before midnight To-night at that hour it is not known whether Governor Russell is re elected or not The Democrats claim the State by about 1,500, but the only thing upon which they base their claim1 is Boston's plurality of f 13,000 for the Democratic leader. In all other parts of the State Republican gains are reported. The only question is whether these gains will be large enough to offset Boston's plurality. The country towns are rolling up Republican figures, which make it certain that the margin on either side' will be ve.'y slight Even in the manu facting cities, where the labor voto is heaviest, big Republican gains are report ed. Thcc factK keep up the spirits of the Republicans. PnTSBURQ-, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4 5l1891. II SOLDIER Tffil Yictorions in the Keystone. State by a Handsome Plurality.

At the Democratic State headquarters the State Committee was in executive session all night, Chairman Kerr and the members throughout the State having arrived in the city early in the afternoon. At 11 o'clock the members of the commit tee declared that the outlook throughout the State was exceedingly hopeful, the dis tricts so far heard from showing steady S sw Capftnn Morrison.

Chairman Kerr claimed a majority for the State ticket outside the city, but could give no figures to substan tiate his statement In regard to the result in the city he knew nothing at all.

About the corridors of the leading hotels the election was the one topic of discussion. It was generally conceded, that Flower had carried New York by a safe majority, and that Russell had been re-elected injMassa chnsetta by an increased majority. Ohio -was considered as safe for McKinley by at least 20,000, and New Jersey was again swept by the Democrats. It is the general belief here among Demo crats and BepuMicans alike that the victory in New York is equivalent to Cleveland's nomination in 1892, and were it advisable to put two Eastern men on the ticket, Rus sell, of Massachusetts, would be the Demo cratic choice for Vice President The Philadelphia Returns. 1 A. m. i The city of Philadelphia, with one ward still to hear from, gives Gregg, R., for Auditor General, 28,180 plurality. McCreary, for City Treasurer, with the missing -ward to hear from, has20,906 ma jority. The Constitntional Convention is cer tainly defeated by an overwhelming ma jority, although practically no figures are yet obtainable. Heavy Democratic Gains In Fayette. TJhioktowx, Nov. 8. Special.

Ontsido Uniontown the Republicans have held their own. except In Con nellsvllle borough, where they suffer a loss of 28.

Many of these then picked out and voted a ballot hit or miss, and, of course, the chances were six to one against their having voted the ballot they intended. Those who used the paster, however, never got mixed up, for it was easy to determine which was the pasted ballot, even after all were folded. Mr. Flower spent most of the day at his office in the Windsor Hotel, where returns were received in the evening. The first figures from New YorJ. City were anything but promising, and a feeling of generalap. prehension began . to show itself. Mr. Flower looked disturbed and anxious for the first time during' the day. "He ex pressed fears that somebody had played the party false. Great Uncertainty for Abont an Hour. For almost an hour things seemed very uncertain. Then Brooklyn began to show counteracting Democratic strength, and when the results in the country districts be gan to come in, showing in nearly every case a Democratio increase over 1888, all doubt disappeared. By 8:30 o'clock Fiower's election seemed assured. Thee tnrns, as they came in from the different connties, showing a steady increase, were greeted, with a hand-clapping and cheers. At 10 o'clock Mr. Flower's plurality was es timated at from 15,000 to 25,000. By that hour his election was sure, and many peo ple gave their congratulations to "our new Governor" and departed.

The vote in the Senate chamber will there fore be 17 Democrats to 15 Republicans. The Assembly is Democratic by 67 out of 128, the gain being made up in the State, losses being sustained in New York and Brooklyn both. Glbbs failed again to wiu. Hamilton Fish and Whipple, rival aspir ants for the Speakership, were both left at home. On joint ballot the Democrats have 84 votes out of 160. A SERIOUS ELECTION BI0I Precipitated by a Boy Who Pretended Ho Was Old Enough to Vote. New York, Nov. 3 Special Two or three hundred men and boys participated in a rough-and-tumble fight in Williams burg, just before the closfng of the polls to day. Six or seven of the combatants, said to be severely hurt, were carried away by their friends before the arrival of tho police, Vho were busy preserving order at the polls. When two policemen larrived, about 50 men, some of them armed with clubs, were struggling on tho ground. Michael Scott and Charles Brady were arrested. Tbe other men got away. Brady Is well grown, and looks consider ably older than 19 years. He told several Republican workers that he was about to cast bis maiden ballot, and they tried to ersuade him to vote for their side of the lonse. Their efforts at persuasion consisted In treating Brady to beer nnd cigars. Ho took all they were willing to give, and at about 4 o'clock admitted that he was not yet of age, and as he had not yet registeied, could not voto. Seeing no wav to recover the beer and cigars, Michael Scott determined, so Brady says, to make Brady useful. He insisted that Brady should visit the different booths and represent himself as a man registered in thoso districts who had neglected to vote. In each iustan-a he a to vor tli ballot Governor-Elect HotweU P. fioicer. prepared for him. When herefusedtohave anything to do with the scheme he says Scott hit him. He struck back, and the men who crowded around to learn what the row was about Interfered and took sides. Words led to blows and the street was in a ferment in half a minute.

Spedal-r few minutes after 10 o'clock this morning Candidate Fassett walked from his house, 464 West Church street, to Ayer's blacksmith shop on College avenne, the polling place of theFirst district of the Sixth ward, and cast his ballot.

BOIES RE-ELECTED AND TAKES HIS TICKET WITH HIM. t The Legislature Also Claimed y the Democrats The Largest Vote Ever Foiled in the State Republicans Tet Hope They Slay Win. Des Moines, Nov. 3. Special. Iowa has gone Democratic again, and this time the entire State ticket h elected. Returns received up to midnight indicate this result beyond question. The Democratic strong holds along the river have increased the phenomenal majorities given Governor Boies two years ago, while scattering re turns from the rural districts show equal gains. The .majority for Boies will possi bly reach 10,000. MrZ" " utmuoianc, mc vine to 1 nnn ; nasratyor ,n nis vote oi two yeara ago, when fifts. elected by a plurality of G,C00. Chal.man Fuller, of the Democratic State Committee, claims the election of Boies by a majority as great as that ot two years ago, if in fact it does not exceed that figure. In Wahello, a Republican strong hold, Wheeler got but 9 majority. The Republicans still claim the State, but not so vigorously as they did earlier in the night Unless there is a decided change in the complexion of the returns from in terior points, the Democrats will have a plurality in the State of at Jeast C,000and probably more. At midnight the returns showed that the Legislature will probably be Democratic by a good working majority. The stronghold of the Republicans is in the country.and when the reports from those precincts come in 'the gain may be more rapid. The Democrats are claiming the Governor, but the Republicans are still con fident that the country townshina will heln them out. The rest of the Democratic ticket it is believed is elected, as Wheeler is run. ning behind bis ticket in almost every pre cinct BIPUBLICANS REDEEM KANSAS. The Alliance Nowhere in the Country Pre. clncts, bnt Gain In the Cities. Kaxsas Citt, Nov. 3. Dispatches from var ious connties in Kansas show- the Alliance did not hold its own at 'to-day's election. The returns are very slow in coming in and only 47 connties of tbe 103 in the State have been heard from. These 47 counties are scatteied all over the Stato and represent every political phase. In only two of them have the Alliance made a clean sweep. Har per county always has been Union Labor or Alliance and Lynn was u strong Alliance county last year. The connties show almost invariable Re publican victories or Republican gains. In the country the Republicans appear to have regained their foothold, while in the cities the Alliance has made plight gains through the Citizens' Alliance, but not enough to compensate them for their losses in the rural districts. In the Judicial districts the returns indicate that the Alliance has met wholesale defeat Tbe Republicans and Democrats combined against the Alliance candidate for Judges. DETROIT GOES REPUBLICAN. Tbe Result Considered a Rebuke to Dickin ' son and Campau. Detroit, Nov. 3. Special Hazen 8. Pln gree, Republican candidate for Mayor, was elected to-day by a heavy plurality, proba bly 8,000. William G. Thompson and John Miner, running for Mayor on two separata tickets, split tho Democratic vote, but Thompson got 50 per cent more votes than Miner. This is generally regarded as a serious rebuff to Don M. Dickinson and D. J. Cam pau, who. backed Miner. It will certainly ruin their power in city politics, and may Injure their influence In State politics. The new election law makes returns late, so It is impossible to give exact figures on tho re-. suit. Anngree carnea tne rest oi tno iiepuD lican ticket with him. ONE REPUBLICAN ESCAPES The General Slaughter That Takes Place Down in Mississippi. New Orleahs, Nov. 3. Special. The elec tion in Mississippi to-day, was quiet, a light vote being polled, in consequence of the new Constitution aud election law. The only State officers cnosen were Railroad Commis sioners, the Democratic candidates, Walter McLaurln, J. F. Sessions and J. H. Askew, being elected without opposition. District anil county officers nnd members of the Legislature were chosen unanimously Demo cratic. But a single Republican member of tbe Legislature was elected, nnd four or five Independents. The vote was but little over half the average, very few negroes voting. MARYLAND VEBY DEMOCRATIC. An Estimated Majority of 15,000 or 20,000 in the Entire State. Baltimore, Nov. 3. Frank Brown, Demo cratic candidate for Governor, has a ma jority of between 15,000 and 20,000, as figured out by the Democrats. Tho Democracy also claim to have elected their entire Baltimore city ticket by an average of 5,000 majority. A Mixed Result in Chicago. Chicaoo, Nov. 3. A drawn battle was the result of the local e'lection, as far as could be determined at midnight About half of each ticket had been chosen, according to the re turns from 400 precincts heard from ont of a total of 555. The Democrats had a lead of about 4,000 on Babcock, their candidate for Superintendent of Schools. The Republi cans had nearly as great a plurality for President of tho Countv Board. In the-fight for the vacancies on the Drainage Commit tee, Cooley, Democrat nnd Eckhnrt, Kepnb llcnn, seemed safe by pluralities averaging 3,000. with the third seat in doubt. Tho County Board will be Republican, with pos sibly one or two exceptions. MON8IOH0B PBESTON DEAD. He Expires at 1 O'clock This Morning, Conscious to the Last New York, Nov- 4. Special The Right Rev.

Straightout leaders Disappear Early and Their Headquarters . Are Deserted. CHARGES OP FBAUD FEEELI MADE And the ITead Men of the New Political Party Promise Some Political Sensations for To-day. 2T0 CONSTaTUTIOVAL CONTENTION So Far as Allegheny County and Her Voters ire Concerotd. PE0JII5ENT l'AETT LEADEM CITE FIGURE3 Every political belief of which Allegheny county boasts was represented in the fire alarm office on the fifth floor of City Hall, the principal center for receiving and dis bursing news by the regular Republicans. The fire alarm employes, in anticipation of a crowd, had covered the elegant electrical apparatus in the office with canvas to protect it from injury, the carpet being likewise protected. The Western Union and the Postal Tele graph Companies had placed instruments at the service of the politicians in the same office and a force of operators to attend them. It was about S -o'clock when the operators sat down nnd began to receive messages; from New York and Ohio, and a few min utes later the politicians of the city began to fill the room. Presently the returns from the local districts began to come in over the telephone, and thereafter but little attention was paid to the telegraphic in formation that kept pouring in from all sections of the country. The Great Chiefs Together. In the center of the big office, seated around a table, each with a long tally sheet before him, sat Connty Chairman Gripp, Sheriff McCleary, ei-3Iayor, Fulton, Dis trict Attorney Burleigh, Chief Elliot and Harry Fell, of the Public Safety Department. When tbe first local returns came in showing a terrific majority for tho Republicans in tha First precinct, of tha First ward a shout went up as the figures were read off, and someone exclaimed that Chief Elliot had not been in the ward all day for nothing. The chief was somewhat embarrassed at this flattering allusion tohimself,but laughingly replied that if every ward In tho city would only do half as well as the First, Governor Pattison's Judges would be continued in office by a great majority. Returns began to come in rapidly after this, and the crowd Increased until men of all stations were packed together like sardines in a box. Among others came Mr. C. lVMagee, who at once took up a position behind a tally sheet of the county and w ith pencil in hand, assumed control of the figures and calcula tions. In a crowd of probably 200 men in the office at this time there were representatives of all ranks of official life In the connty, from, a ward constable to tbe judges of tho court. A notable figure in tho crowd, recognized by probably not more than half the people in the room, was . Captain John Morrison, the Republican candidate for State Treasurer. Became iq, quietly, and seated himself between Judges Ewing and Slagle, who occupied chairs near tbe receiving tables, interested listeners to the reports. Judge Porter came in shortly before 9 o'clock and took up a position where he could see and hear everything that came in, and remained there nntil long after midnight. When the returns began to indicate that his election was assured he modestly received the congratulations of his friends bnt cau tioned them not to be too sanguine. Judge McClung also appeared on tbe scena for a few moments, but when he learned the nature of tbe reports coming in he retired with an appearance of satisfaction. Other Political Lights. Other well-known faces seen in the crowd during the evening were those of Warden Wright, County Treasurer Bell, Register Conner, United States District Attorney Lyon, Postmaster McKean, Senator Flinn, F M. Magee, Collector Wormcastle. Chiefs BIge low and Elliott, County Secretary Miller. County Clerk McGunnigle, T. J. O'Leary, Magistrates McKenna and Succop, Chief Murphy, of Allegheny; Colonel F. P. Burr, of New York; Assistant District Attor-' ney naymaker, H. P. Ford, Nathan Brokaw, Dr. Foster, C. A. McKee, Esq., ex-Sheriff Mc Candless, George P. Letsche, Martin Deth lef. Colonel Keed and Prof. Andrews. Tho assemblage was generally quiet and undemonstrative, and even when news came in of a big majority in sections where it had been least expected there) was a general exchange of sly winks or suggestive nods that sufficed to satisfy the enthusiasm of the crowd. Several times, however, a cheer and a clapping of hands wa9 created by the read ing of a statement by Chairman Gripp that in a given number of districts in the connty the regular ticket had a growing majority, and when a telegram from Columbus indi cated that McKinley was surely elected in Ohio the greatest excitement of the even ing resulted. His Drooping Spirits. Aroused. Clarence Burleigh had but little to say early In the evening, as but few of the re turns came in with tho District Attorney ship figures attached. Later the telegraph and telephone messages became mora com plete, and as the figures showed Mr. Bur leigh was not running far behind his col leagues his' tcmperatnro began to rise and he became as chipper as anyone in the room. C L. Magee and Senator Flinn gave but little indication 'Of their emotions as tha figures came in, bnt every once in a while as a district was reported showing light vota cast ono of them would remark: "Those fellows have not been taking much interest in thlselection,"or"Thafsainighty slim showine for that district" At II o'clock Mr. Magee sent a telegram to State Chairman Watres that the returns la , showed a heavy gain over the Republican; vote of 1890 and indicated a majority of S.08O for the State ticket In the city.
