versed, If not by giving as largo a ma
jority for tho Democrats, at least by
changing something like 740,000 votes.
Governor Black's plurality in tho state
last year was over 200,000. John
Palmer, tho Republican secretary of
state, won tho year previous by over
100,000. Tho indications are that
these enormous pluralities have becu
swept away and a reverse plurality of
between 30,000 and 50,000 given.
Tho greatest surprises of the re
turns ara the great gains made in the
assembly by tho Democrats, many of
them being In counties and districts
where there tvai no expectation upon
tho part of Democratic managers of
winning. Republicans explain the so
gains by attributing them to the
heated municipal campaigns and tho
trading of votes. Tho nornintr ro
turns Indicate that tho Republicans
will still control tho assembly, al
though by a largely decreased ma
jority. More surprising, perhaps, than the
roturns upon tho state nnd assembly
district tickets, were results of the
municipal campaign In tho largo cities.
Buffalo, Rochester, Blnghampton,
Syracuse, Utlcu, Albany, Troy and
Schenectady, clcctted Democratic
mayors. In Albany tho conditions
were very similar to thoso In New
York. Two Republican candidates
pllt up tho voto of that party and al
lowed tho Democrats to win. The
combined Republican voto was 2,000
In excess of tho Democratic vote. In
Buffalo and Rochester Republican suc
cess was thought to be nlmost assured
prior to the election, but the result
are foreign to tho predictions.

Both Bides claim it It will probably
bo so close that tho balance of power
may lie in tho fusion candidates from
Hamilton county, three of whom are
republicans, and two of these silveritcs.
Tho republican Btate ticket hns
managed to pull through by a
plurality of atout 20,000 as compared
with 51,000 for MeKlnloy in 1800.

McKinley a plurality of 10,740, gavo

a plurality of about 30,000 to 50,000,
which moons that 210,000 votes were

Albany, Syracuse, llmghamptou. Huf-

Coi.t'itnrs. iTilo, Nor. 4. The result
nf the election In Ohio Is still in doubt.
It is evident that It will require the
otllclal count to satisfy tho contest
ants. Tho mora the rcspe.ctlvo parties
figure on their returns tho smaller
their pluralities seem to become, whllo
their clainiB lucroaso In opposite di
rections. Tho closenesi of the voto has caused
Intense fccllnsr and tho usual cry of
fraud. When tho result was In doubt
In ItiflS It was discovered that the tally
shcots wnro forged. Last night tho
Republicans telegraphed to all their
countv committees to bewaro of tho
frauds of 1385. And when tho Repub
licans were claiming tho legislaturo
by only ono or two majority on joint
ballot tho Democrats telegraphed
their county committees to beware of
all sorts of fraud, and to remember
that it was a majority of ono by whleh
tho groat crltuo of 1877 was committed

The stato headquarters will bo kept
open nil week, or until tho official
counts shall be made In all of tho
eighty-right counties of the state. It
Is oxpcclod that there will bo trouble
in some of thu close counties.
Meantime tho managers of both tho
Democratic and Republican state
headquarters tire to-dny claiming tho

The Republicans claim that Rush

Republican state ticket arc oloeted by
a good 8,000 plurality and that tho
Republicans will have a majority of
two on the joint ballot of the legisla
ture for Senator. Tho Republicans
conecdo that they will not havo a
majority in the senate, which
would prevent tho passage of what
are known as "rippers" or any
other partisan legislation. Tho Re
publicans claim seventeen ot the
thlrty-slx senators, with eighteen con
ceded to tho Democrats and one
doubtful. They claim that fifty-seven
members of tho houso aro thelr's, con
ceding forty-eight to tho Domocrats,

Cincinnati, Ohio, Nov. 4. Tho En
quirer, Democrat, docs not concede
tho election of either Ilushnell or tho
Republican legislature. It charges
manipulations of returns by tho Re
publicans for the purpose of assisting
In what It calls "dirty work" in close
counties. Its cnlm for tho legislature
being Democratic is based upon tho
election of Democratic representatives
in Lucas county (Toledo) and upon the
election of nine of the twelve In Cuy
ahoga. On tho other hand the Commoralal
Tribune, Republican, claims Bushnoll's
election by 20,000 and that tho legis

Dr.s Moinks, Iowa, Nov. 4. Roturna
were slow in reaching the headquar
ters of the state central committeo to
day, but Chairman McMillan of tho
Republican committeo contends that
Shaw's plurality will be 30,000. Re
ports received from fifty counties give
Shaw a plurality of 20,320, and the es
timate of tho Republican committee is
that tho other forty-nlno will do as
woll. It is expected that the plurality
will bo from 1?,000 to 11,000 rabro
when tho roturns aro received from

As to tho legislaturo the Repub

Industry on American Boll. Although
peacocks- arc not unknown hero they
aro not nearly bo often seen ua In Eng
land and on the continent of Europe.
Perhaps the most remarkable peacock
show today seen anywhere In the world
is at Warwick caatle. The place Is
famous for them and the handsomest
of tho blrdH are white, a rare color for
peacocks. It does not require great
skill to breed pea fowls. They must,
however, ho fed- regularly nnd plenti
fully, and In whiter they must have a
warm and sheltered homo. The hen
bird should ho allowed to chose her
own nest if a strong, healthy brood Ib
desired, and tho tactics of tho pea fowl
farmer In HiIh regard should bM exact
ly the opposite of the succct-sful poul
try raiser. It iu understood that tho
breeding of tho birds Is very profitable
In England, and It Is not to lm mi.
posed that tho millionaires whose

there would ho money In It In Arnerl.

MR. HELLER'S .FUNERAL
ilnny Trlendu of the Victim of nn Acci
dent Attend It Ht Ccrpucn.
Tho funeral of Mr. Heller which was
held at Cereeco on last Saturday nf
ternoon was the largest attended ever
held in the city. Friends were pres
ent from Lincoln, Wahoo, Superior
and other points, llcv. llroden of
Omaha preached tho funeral sermon.
Tho remains were buried at Pleasant
Hill cemetery nnd wero followed to
their last resting place by a large con
course of friends.
Tho coroner's jury last Friday lis
tened to evidence in tho matter of tho
death of Mr. Heller. After examining
fourteen witnesses tho jury brought in
a verdict to tho cffc.it that lie camo to
his death by being run over by a car
on the P. E. fc M. V. railway whllo a
flying switch was being made. Tho
evidence was somewhat conflicting
nnd did not tend to show ucgligcnco
on tho part of cither Mr. Heller or the
railroad company. It is thought thut
Mr. Heller did uot notice tho approach
ing car until ho was quito close to
tho track, too close in fact to avoid 9
collision.

OMAHA AND THE FAIR
Probability of Ito llPiiitnnl Hithuhp if
Poor Loral Support
The publication recently of the re
ported assertion of one of the board
managers that there will be no more
stntc fairs held In Oiuiihn bus attract
ed some attention in Omaha, but It is
not news. It wns said duriiig anil aft
er the fnir. and even before it. while
the members of the board of intintigers
were trying to get certain necessary
Improvements out of the fair and spend
association, that, tho board were tired
of trying to got tint facilities and con
veniences assured them when the fair
uu.s moved to Oinaliii. During tho
fair, members of the board were heard
to say that the state fair would uot
again be held so far from the city at
which It Is located, as the necessity of
traveling such a distance by street, car
and similar conveyance seriously cut
down tho attendance. Attention was
called to the fact that Omaha people,
did not turn out to the fair as the
state board had a right to cxpoet. they
would, and as it had been promised
they would. This was duo largely to
tho distance they had to travel nnd
the uncertainty of rsachlng their
home, iu season if they cnt.
At the next iimetlng of the state
board it will bo shown that the attend
of people from Lincoln, fifty-live miles
away, was actually greater iu propor
tion to the size of the city than was
that from Omaha. This seemed to be
a startling statement, but a reliable
und prominent member of the board
who knows its affairs thoroughly said
that a statement wounl be nitule show
ing it to be a fact .Inst what steps
the Oiuiihn fair and speed association,
which owns the grounds where the
the fair is loented and which was thu
prime mover in securing the fair for
Omaha, will tuko is uot known and
probably will uot be until the propo
sition to remove it assumes dcllnlt-j
form.
