THE VOTE IN OHIO.

COLUMHUS, O.. Nov. 0.—Chairman Dick, at the republican state headquarters, has later unofficial returns indicating that McKinley's plurality is between 70,000 and 80,000, the larpest in the hiutory of the siate, except in 1S08, when Bro-igh had 100,000 over Vallandig-ham, then an exile in Canada. Cliillicotho, the homo of Neal, the democratic candidate for governor, went repubiican for the first time.

The telegraph is busy handling1 congratulatory telegrams to McKinlcy from all parts of the country wishing that he may be equally successful in 1896. Republican papers are out with McKinley's name hoisted as their candidate for president.

The proposed constitutional amendments—one to permit the general assembly to tax franchises, such as the Pullman cars, telephone and telegraph companies, etc., and one to divide the big counties, such as Hamilton, Franklin and Cuyahoga, into legislative districts—were swamped for want of attention to the subject on the part of voters.

The republicans have elected twentyfive or twenty-six of thirty-one senators and from eighty-five to ninety of 107 representatives. Also three-fourths of the county officials of the state chosen and most of the district officials. All of the congressional districts but two appear to have gone republican.

The returns show that the prohibition and populist vote has almost disappeared .since last fall, when it was '22,000 and ID,000 respectively. Both of these parties appear to have voted for McKinlcy.

Iowa.

I)ES MOINES, la., Nov. 0.—The latest figures up to 10 o'clock Wednesday night bear out the previous estimate of 85,000.plurality for the head of the

republican state ticket, while the balance of the ticket will probably get more. The legislature will be overwhelmingly republican, standing, according to latest advices, as follows: Senate—republicans, S2 democrats, 18. House—republicans, 76 democrats 24. There arc several very close contests, and the official count may change these figures slightly.

At this writing it looks as though the Hennett-Mitchell vote would not be over 8,000 to 12,000 and that the populist vote would hardly exceed the 20,000 which they had last fall.

It is given out by the friends of Congressman If. dear, of the First Iowa district, that a majority of the republican members of the legislature are already pledged to support him for the United States senate to succeed James F. Wilson.

New York.

ALHANV, N. Y., Nov. 9.—The latest newspaper advices give John l'almer (rep.), for secretary of state, 28,500 plurality over Cord Meyer (dein.). The latest figures on associate judge of the court of appeals give liartlctt (rep.) 85,000 plurality over Maynard (dem.). The rest of the republican ticket is elected by pluralities ranging about that for Palmer. liov. Flower by means of private dispatches received estijiates Palmer's plurality at 20,000.

The republicans have also carried both branches of the legislature, the senate standing, republicans 18. democrats 14 the assembly, republicans 74, democrats 54. The delegates elected to the constitutional convention to held next year consist of: Republicans, 110 democrats, 05.

MjlSSHCllUHCt ts.

BOSTON, Nov. 9.—Practically complete returns show this vote for governor: (ireenhalge (rep.), 190,808 Kussell (dem.), 150,703: Hanks (pro.), 8,104 republican plurality, 34,105. The entire republican state ticket is elected by about the same plurality. The largest gains are to be found in the manufacturing towns and mill coders, in places like Lawrence, Kail River, Ipswich, East Hampton.

New JeaHey.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.—The result in New Jersey, according to the computations of the republican state commitr tee at Newark, gives the republicans the senate by one, a net gain of six, and the assembly by fifteen, a net cain of twenty-four—a total on joint ballot of sixteen and a reversal of the present democratic majority of twentynine. 'j

Pennsylvania.

PHILADELPHIA, NOV. 9.—The returns of votes and county pluralities as far as received for state treasurer, give Jackson (rep.), 128,072 Osborne (dem.), 20,150.

Populists Claim Kansas.

TOPEKA, Kan.. Nov. 9.—Notwithstanding the adverse reports, the populists claim that they have carried the state and that a full count of the votes will bear out the .r ante-election predictions. Populist Chairman Br-iden-thai claims that the dihuatdic8

published Wednesday morning were based on the returns from precincts in the cities or near railroad stations that no definite information has been received from rural communities, where the populist strength lies. The republicans, on the contrary, say reports from city and country precincts alike show republican gains and that they have carried she state by a plurality which insures the election of their state ticket and a majority in the legislature next year.

Nebraska.

OMAHA. Neb., Nov. 9.—The state election in Nebraska is still in doubt and returns come in slowly. The republican committee claims the state for Harrison for supreme judge by a small plurality, but the returns from the western part of the state show a gain for Holcomb (pop.), and the chances that he is elected are still good.

The Result ill Detroit.

DETHOIT, Mich., Nov. 9.—Corrected returns show Mayor Pingree swept the city by over 5,000 majority and has carried the entire republican ticket through with him. Pingree ran far ahead of his ticket. In the First congressional district Griffin (dem.) is elected by between 1,000 and 1,500 majority. aryland.

BAI.TIMOKK, Md., Nov. 9. Heavy gains were made by republicans in this state on Tuesday. The vote on the state ticket is light, and the majority for Smith (dem.) for comptroller, is only 10,000.

In Chicago.

CHICAGO, NOV. 9.—Judge Gary has a plurality for superior court judge of about 11,000. The entire republican judicial ticket, with one exception, is elected. The republicans also elect their county commissioners

Scattering Votes.

Virginia goes democratic, liut by a decreased majority. Equal suffrage was successful in Colorado by from 400 to 500 majority.

Kepublicans claim that Bernis (.rep.) is elected mayor of Omaha by 2,500 plurality. The republican supreme court ticket was elected in South Dakota by a plurality of about 5,000.

The democrats continue in control of the Kentucky legislature, and United Slates Senator Lindsay will not have any opposition for reeleotion.

Utah has gone largely democratic, the returns Indicating a safe majority for tho party in the legislature. IU Salt Lake City Basmin, nominee or the citizens' party, was elected mayor.

Before flis Honor,

There was a delightful rattling of dry bones in the Mayor's court Wednesday and the police were wearing sunny smiles and white chrysanthemums as large as teacups.

John Cully hauls ice, but isn't a nice man if the story sister Lizzie Edwards is to be relied upon. Lizzie's plain unvarnished tale is to the following effect: Lizzie resides on east Wabash avenue "beyant the bridge," and during the sultry weather took ice. By some hook or crook she contracted the embarrassing debt of 30 cents and, as the sable winged stringency, with eyes of lurid flame, swooped down over our fair land unheralded, she was unable to liquidate. The wanton Mr. Cully stood at her back door day after day as relentlessly as Shylock at the court of justice. He banged with bis ice hooks on the side of the house and coldly called for cash. Finally he resorted to unseemly pro-, fanity and called sister Edwards certain names which Mr. Cully's copyright forbids our producing. Mr. Cully was pulled for provoke..

Tude Hamilton has also been at variance with the Edwards family and has digressed from the path of rectitude, wandering on that broad and open way which has a terminal station in the police court. Tude doesn't like the manner in which Mrs. Ella Edwards has interested herself in his domestic affairs. He avers that she tried to make trouble between himself and his wife. Being fully convinced of this fact he met Ella on the street and gallantly and chivalrously proceeded to choke her. Ella says he choked her until her eyes hung down on her breast and her tongue could be made, by wriggling it, to write her name in the duet on the sidewalk. The Mayor is now cogitating the case.

Nig Seering is a refugee from justice. He whipped his father along about the gloaming and Officer Milholland, coming in, administered with his club a sleeping powder to the blithe and happy lad. Nig lay down to pleasant dreams and the legalized clubber sat down to discuss

8 A FEW PLAIN FACTS

By TANNENBAUM BROS.

We have the Largest Store and the largest Stock of Clothing in Montgomery County.

We enjoy good healthy competition It is the life of trade and we always sell as low as the lowest. Our customers will testify to that.

But we never advertise to sell "below cost," or "a $15 suit toi^ $10." Such propositions are ridiculous on the face of them. Clothiers are in business, not for their health, but to make a living.

And yet we have hundreds of ^customers who have stayed with us for years because we never make rash promises but always stick to the promises wa do make: We promise to sell a $15 suit for $15 because it is worth $15 and a $10 Suit for $10 because it'is worth $10. To those who have never traded with us we invite a trial of our methods and our goods.

There is more catarrh, in this section of the country than* all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore req,wires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured, by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the bloodand mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address,
