Columbus, Nov. 3. 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. This will give him a majority of
C.000 outside of Hamilton county."

new system. Only a few scattering returns
had been received up to 10 o'clock, but they
commenced to come in at a lively rate after
11. Scarcely anything came from Cincin

At 1 o'clock 3J5 precincts outside of Cincin

along the line the Republicans had in
creased the majorities of last year.
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. "
The soldurs at tae Dayton Home kept
their -promise, and voted the Republican
ticket Returns from eight precincts gave
McKinley a majority of 723, and at this
rate he was expected to net 1,300 in the

rritOH a staft correspondent, i
Columbus, O., Nov. 4. 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.

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

hotel, where several thousand .Republican?
had gathered to hear ! o news. His appear

thusiasm, and the Major acknowledged the
greeting of his nishbors In a fe w words. The
Demoerats established headquarters at Em
pire Hall, a few blocks distant, and the
cheers of th3 rival were distinctly heard at
each place.
Seated on the rostrum and surrounded by
a group of friends, the protection lender,
w rapped in a heavy overcoat and smoking a
cigar, complacently listened to the reading
of bulletins and personal telegrams, ana
figured out possibilities. He was in good
humor, and pleasantlv recounted ana re

which he had just made. During the even

the Tabernacle and sainted McKinley and
then left to swell the crowds and increase
the din upon the streets.
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. The Pro
hibition vote In tho State has fallen below
that of last year, while the gain of tho Peo
ple's patty over last year's vote was 1,247.

nAiriLTOTf, Nov. .3. The vote for Governor
Campbell in his own county shows gains
over his majority two years ago. The Aus
tralian ballot was not greatly relished by
tile German voters in this city,, where the
vote was less than anticipated. Campbell,
however, gained in every precinct except
one. In the county at large his majority will
be between 3.C00 and 3,700. His gain is from
the Republicans. . ,
McKinley's Victory in Akron.
Akros, Nov. 3 Special. Refnrns from

and the remaining precincts will not change

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.

Excitement In the Quaker City.
The scene in this city to-night is one of
wildest excitement Bonfires are blazing
on all the prominent street corners, the

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

returns from 13 districts Indicate that the
Democrats have carried Fayette county on
the Stato ticket by about 700 majority, a
gain of 230 over tbe State of 18S9. The vote
throughout the county was unusually light,

first time since the war, has been carried by
the Democrats, their raaj ority for the tate
ticket being 34, again over the vote of 1839 of
129. Ontsido Uniontown the Republicans
have held their own. except In Con
nellsvllle borough, where they suffer a loss
of 28. By Republican apathy and the non
payment of taxes 75 Republicans lot their
votes, which is the cause of the big Demo
cratic victory In Uniontown.
The Claims of the Two Chairmen.
Clabios, Nov. 3. Special. Returns are
coming in slowly. The result of the judge
ship contest is absorting all the interest
The candidates were: Clark (Democrat),
residing in Jefferson county, which gave
Harrison 833 plurality; Reed (Republican), of
Clarion county, which gave Cleveland 930
plurality. There is a hitter sectional light.
Fifteen districts In 'Clarion county give
Reed 117 gain on Cleveland's vote; 14 dis
tricts In Jefferson oounty give Clark 185 gain
on Cleveland's vote. Returns indicate
Clark's election. From meager returns In
State Democratic Chairman Laughlln claims
1,200 majority. The Republican Chairman
claims a majority reduced to 1,000. Tilden
is likely to lead his ticket by 100.
The Alliance Vote In Lawrence.

light vote was cast. The Republican county

Farmers' Alliance last Saturday endorsed

The Somerset Judgeship Close.
Beotord, Nov. 3. Special. The tight to
day was centered on the Judgeship. The
withdrawal of Kooser from the contest left
the fight between Reynolds andXongeneck
er. Eighteen districts in the county show
large Democratic gains. The same ratio, if
kept np, will trlve Reynolds, Democratic, a
majority of 500 in the county. The State
ticket was lost sight of in the Judicial fight.
Retnms from Somerset connty show large
Democratic gains, which will make the fight
a close one.

a possibility of its going even higher than
the last figures. The vote in New York
City did not come up to Democratic ex
pectations. In other parts of the State it
has exceeded them. The Democrats in
Brooklyn have elected their Mayor by
10,000 or 12,000, and ex-Mayor Chapin is
elected to Congress. Jn both New York

voter to deposit the wrong ticket A great
many men became nervous at the polls, and
many to-day came ont of the booths with all
their ballots folded, and uncertain which
one' was the ballot they had chosen. 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 following is New York City's vote
complete: Flower, 145,623; Fassett, 86,586;
DeLeon (Socialist), 5,111; Brnce (Prohibi
tionist), 1",215. Lieutenant Governor Shec
han will preside over a Senate with a
friendly majority. Vedder, Donaldson,
Laughlin and Richardson are the victims.
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

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. Neither Brady nor Scott
were seriously hurt They made counter
complaints against each other and were
locked up. Policeman Logeman savsjio
was informed that ten men were injured.
No report of the riot was made to the police
in charge of the precinct.

Des Moines, Nov. 3. Special. Iowa
has gone Democratic again, and this time

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

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-.

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.

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.
Shortly afterward the big leader leaned
