Republicans Elect Governor of OHIO IS DEMOGRATIC PATTISON DEFEATS HERRICK IN FIGHT FOR GOVERNORSHIP BY SAFE PLURALITY. . REPUBL:CANS CONGEDE HIS ELECTION BOTH BRANCHES OF THE LEGIS LATURE ALSO CLAIMED BY THE DEMOCRATS. Columbus, O., Nov. 9—John M. Pat: tison, Democrat, will be the next gov- ernor of Ohio and his party associates on the state ticket haye also all been elected, according to the indications of late, returns. The exact figures are unknown, but there seems no reason to doubt the success of the. entire Democratic state ticket by at least a - sate plurality, while Chairman Garber claims 36,000 plurality for Pattison and the Democratic ticket. Both houses of the legislature will be Democratic, the last hope of the Republicans vanishing with the report that the Hamilton county delegation was solidly Democratic. The follow- ing statement was given to the Asso- ciated Press before noon: “Chairman Harvey Garber claims and has figures to back it that Patti- son carries the state by not less than 36,000 and the Democratic state ticket is also elected by safe pluralities. He says that the Democrats have a large majority in both branches of the legis- | lature, Chairman k has issued the fol- lowing statement: 5 based upen reporis from counties, which inciude 1,461 cts, and the assumption ! that the same raiio of Democratic | gains will continue in the 1,544 pre- ' cincts yet to be heard from outside of , Cuyahoga and Hamilton counties, show ' that Paitison is-elected by a plurality ' approximating £5,010.” I LEGISLATURE IN DOUBT. | i Maryland Voters Defeat Proposed Suf. frage Amendment. Baltimore, Nov. 9.—Ad nal res ! turns confirm the overwhelming de: , feat of the proposed suffrage restric tion amendment to the constitution but leave in doubt the state comp- trollership and only complete returns will show whether McCullough, Repub- lican, or Atkinson, Democrat, has been , elected. The legislature is also left in doubt by later returns. The senate is certainly Democratic, but the official count throughout the state must be completed before the exact composi- tion of the house of delegates is known. The legislature elects the state tr urer and the politics of that official as well as of the board of public works, of which he will be a member, will depend on the legislative returns yet to come in. JEROME TAKES ACTION. Orders Assistants to Guard Returns Carefully. New York, Nov. 9.—District Attorney ! Jerome anncunced during the day that he will do all he can to see that there is a fair count of the vote for mayor. He gave orders to his a. tants that ;!he s Irom the Eighteenth and | Sixth assembly districts be guarded carefully. Tammany leader, Charles F. Murphy, is leader of the Eighteenth and Congressman Timothy D. Sullivan is leader of the Sixth district. Mr. Jerome d: | “Take these returns from the | Eighteenth and Sixth assembly dis- tricts and lock them up. carefully. They may cut a big figure count. I propose to see that a fair count in this mayoralty contest, no matter whom it hurts.” Guard them BY PLURALITY OF 23,000. Massa- chusetts, Boston, Nov. 9.—A revision of the vote in Tuesday’s election in hMaszsa- .chusetts fails to materially alter the result. The revised figures are: Governor—Guild, Republican, 197, 512; Bartlett, Democrat, 174,296; Guild’s plurality, Lieutenani jovernor—Draper, - Re- publican, 182,197; Whitney, Democrat, STRONGLY REPUBLICAN, ;180 201; Draper's plurality, 1,996.
