RESULTS IN OHIO.
Republican Mnjoritv on Joint Unllot
in Legislature.
Columbus, O., Nov. 3. This has been
a (7v of anxiety with the Ohio poli
tic V It opened with the Republl
(t id Democrats both claiming tho
oh i..i of their state tickets, and a
majority of the members of the leg
islature. Before noon the Democrats
conceded the election of .ne Republi
can state ticket by la , ? pluralities
than were given laat night In these
dispatches as the claims of tho Repub
licans. Tonight the Democratic state
committee announced no definite
claims on the legislature, and th Re
publican stat committee raise j lU
claims to a majoilty of five on Jol.it
ballot as follows: Senate, 17 Republi
cans, 19 Democrats; house, 5S Repub
licans, El Democrats. Total, 75 Repub
licans, 70 Democrats.
Wood county had been conceded to
the Democrats until tonight, when the
complete returns caused the Republi
cans to claim It.
On the ret'irns complete at Repub
lican state headcuarters the Demo
crats will have a majority of two In
tho senate, and the Republicans of
seven In the house.
In these claims the Fuslonlsts from
Cincinnati are all counted ns Demo
cratic. The Republicans can organize
the house without fusion. There Is
only one of the four senators elected
on the Fusion ticket In Cincinnati,
who Is a Republican, and he now bo
comes a factor. If Senator Volght,
of Cincinnati, who is a Republican,
elected on the Fusion ticket, should
vote with the Republicans on the or
ganization of the senate or on any
thing else, that body will be a tie, with
Lieutenant Goernor Jones, Republi
can, having the deciding vote. If tho
Democrats had secured a majority of
tne legislature or the Fuslonlsts held
the balance of the power, It Is said
that the Fuslonlsts would have voted
with the Democrats.
The Republicans opect two or more
of the fulcn Republicans to vote with
them for s-enntor, In which event, they
claim a mnjoilty of seven on joint bal
lot, with 77 Republicans and CS Demo
unts None of the fusion voles for
senator were counted on by the Repub
lican manage! g In the event they would
be needed by tho Democrats to elect
their nominee, but now many specula
tions are made about tho fusion votes.
When it was thought tod.w that con
trol of the lejlslature might depend
upon one vote, theie was appuhcnslon
of trouble in home counties Emlssni
les were sent out from state hendqunr
prs to close counties to watch the
tountlng. The Ohio law ntovldes that
'not less thnn one w mom than live
dnvs fiom the date of election the de
puty state simervlsors in each county
, shall hogiii the otflcial cunuss of tho
Note and continue from day to diy un
til completed "
In event of protracted contests In
the close counties, tho susppnso of to
day might have continued till tho leg
islature met next Jnnuaiy.
IMPORTANT RUNNING.
Since tho change of tho claims at
Democratic state headquarters tonight
on the completion of tho legislature,
two Important rumor haa been vig
orously cliculated. One Is tint Join
R. McLean will bo pi sed hy the Ohio
Democracy for the nomination of pies.1
rtent In 10io, and that Senator Hanna
will have opposition In his own patty
for election to the senate. It is claimed
by advocating McLfan for the presi
dential nomination that ho deserves
credit for the reduction of tho Republi
can plurality to less than half of what
It was last year, and of the Republi
can majority In the leglslatmo fiom
so on Joint mllot to five And the Doni
ocrats claim that tho majority on julut
ballot would be five th other .fy it
they had an equal chanee on contests.
There are 21 members of the state sen
at, and only one or two of thew dls
ti Iota are so close or doubtful as to
admit of contests on which Republic
an senatorri could be unsealed.
On the other hand there nre 109 mem
bers of the house, In which tho Re
publicans claim a mnjoilty of 7, while
tb- Democrats have a majoilty of two
in tho senute. And there nro several
counties no close that several seats
BIG BATTLE
could be changed In that body. In the
settlement of contested seats tho Ro
pul Ucnus would have such an advant
age In the house over tho DcmocrntH
In the senate that It Is not likely that
tho latter will be aggressors In that
matter. And this mny nllow the close
murgln of tho Republicans on joint
ballot for senator to go uncontested
In any of the close counties or before
the committees on elections in tho gen
eral abscmbly.
PLOTTING AGAINST HANNA.
There Is another movement which Is
causing much comment, and that Is
the tumor that Governor Bushnell will
be brought out for senator against
Matcua A. Hnnna. Allen O. Meyers,
ono of the managers of Democratic
state hoadquarteis, announced tonight
that Senator llanna would never bo
rleeted to the senate on the close Joint
mnjoilty that Is claimed, although
Hnnna had been endorsed for senator
by tho last Republican state conven
tion, tho same as Fornkcr wo en
dorsed by the Republican state con
entlon two vears ago. Mr. Meyers
said If the close call on the legisla
tuio went against the Democrats In
tho official count of the close counties.
that the Democrats in tho legislature
would Join with a dozen or more Re
publican members of that body In elect
ing Uushnell Instead of llanna to the
senate. Governor Bushnell and all
others Involved In this movement
deny any knowledge of It or that they
would have anything to do with it.
MARYLAND.
Baltimore. Nov. 3. It looks ns if the
political complexion of tho Maryland
legislature may hinge upon tho result
In Calvert county, from which neither
party has as jet heard any definite le
tuins. The latest reports give the Re
publicans 1C senators and the Demo.
ctats 9, excluding Calvert. Republi
can Chairman Scott says: "If we elect
the senator from Calvoit, and I have
no doubt but that we will, we will
have a majority of eight In the sen
ate." The chairmen of both state commit
tees dispatched trusted lieutenants to
Calvert county this afternoon to watch
he count there.
Chicago Rejoicing.

Cleveland, O., Nov. 3. M. A. Uanna to

telegram.
"Ciev eland, O , Nov. 3 To Melville B.

BILLY BRYAN STILL H0PFS.
Thinks the Result Shows Thnt tho
Coiintri Is Tired ot Republicanism.
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 3, Mr. Bryan
today gave out the following state
ment: To tho Associated Pi ess: The ieturns
nro so incomplete that It is impossible to
discuss yesterday's election In detail. Tho
Republicans everywhere Indorsed the Re
publican administration and In view of
tho losses sustained by them In utmost
every state, It would seem that Republi
can politics are being IndoiseU nt the
jiolls. Tho sentiment In tavor of the Chi
cago platform shows a healthy giuwth
thioURhuut the countiy. Perhaps oui op
ponents will now admit that bllver Is not
(load Tho attempt to gecuio Intel na
tional bimetallism has proved a failure
and It Is now more oppirent than ever
that the people of the United States must
lcgllatlto for tlinmselvcsj on the finan
cial uestlon. Tiee and unlimited coin
age at 1 to 1 Is nearer now than It was a
jar ago High tailff upon a gold basis
has disappointed thoso Republicans who
looked to It for lellef. Taken as a whole,
tho u turns aro very encouraging. I
think I volco the sentiments of Demo
crats, Populists und 6llver Republicans
when I say the light will bo continued
with even moio earnestness until the gold
monopoly Is broken and tho money tiust
Is overthrown. Tho fusion forces m
creaso their ptrsentag' In Nebraska and
probably their actual majority.

SHOT WIFE AND CHILD DEAD
Turned tho Revolver on Another
Child nnd Then Committed Sui-cldc--Thc
Terrible Act ol an In
sane .11 nn.
Worcester, Mass., Nov. 2. Edward
Hamilton, for 23 years head account
ant of the Worcester County Institu
tion for Savings, this morning shot
and killed his wife nnd one child and
fatally wounded another child, finish
ing by shooting himself, with probably
fatal lesults. Hamilton had suffered
from neuralgia nnd practically lived
on opiates for several weeks. Mr.
Hamilton was married about seven
years ago to Katherino Long, a pro-
CLARENCE
The Next Sheriff of
fesslonal nurse, who had nursed him
during a severe illness from pneu
monia. Their married life has always
been regarded' as a happy one.
Mary Malone, the domestic who dis
covered the crime, said today that she
had never heard of or seen the slight
est tiouble In .the family. Mr. Hamil
ton seemed to think the world of his
wife and children, but had been trou
bled moie or less with his head ever
since last Friday, when he was taken
nick nnd unable to attend his duties
nt the bank. He had been ud nnd
about In the house, but did not ven
ture out of doors, nnd expressed a wish
yesterday that he might attend to his
duties at the bank.
During tho day Mis. Hamilton at
tended the funeral of one of Mr. Ham
ilton's friends, and Mr. Hamilton
helped the girl put the children to bed
before Mrs. Hamilton returned.
Shortly after dinner was the last
time Mary t-avv Mrs. Hamilton alive.
Mary says the shooting must have been
done between 5 and 6 o'clock. She
went to call the family to breakfast,
but lecelved no response.
As It was still dark, she lighted a
lamp and went to their sleeping apart
ments and looked In. She was horri
fied to see the girl, Katherine, covered
with blood. Tho boy. Prescott, was
also covered w 1th blood and was dead
Nearly fainting with fright, Mary
called in Miss Allen, a neighbor, with
whom the Investigation was further
prosecuted. They found the body of
