me Legislature to the Republicans
Mr.. McConville said The Republicans
claimed the legislature by 5 10 I. He
struck the representatives from Wood
and Noble counties from their list, ,aIsc
the senator from the Marion Logan
district, and said these three changes
would make the legislature stand %
Democrats 10 p Republicans, snd he
would never give either OF these three
doubtful members up til the official
count was completed. He slSo con
tests the election OF two OF TIE y msm
bers from CUy&hoga county, which
would make the legislature stand %
Democrats and 20 Republicans. Char
man McConqiIle says ne believes The
Democratic representatives. were elec-
ted il three other counties, which he
does not want 10 mare, pending IN
vestigatiou Of alleged frsuds. He
charges frauds in Noble srd Wood
counties and ID the Marion. Logan dis
trict.

The only district disputed By the De.
moc~2ts is that which includes Marion
and Logan COUNTIES and which would
make The senate stand Ii Republicans

concede that the Democrats will have

AS the canvass of the vote n the IS
counties proceeded today the Repuol
can plurality on the State ticket in
creased, aud on the legislative tickets
The margins became narrower.
While the Republican plurality on
the Safe ticket exceeds 2S,OGO, the
vote in me legislative ticket is almost
as close as it could be. For this rea-
son there is stiilunusual anxiety at the
respective State headquarters OF both
parties. The Republicans still claim
that the legislature stands Is Rspu oil
cans to 70 Democrats on joint ballot
ior senator and that their candidates
fer representatives IL three Of the
close counties have been elected by the
following plurality: Delaware coan.
ty, 90; Wood county, 2S; Noble coun-
ty;. SIS. a total OF 142 il the plurality
of these three counties. a change OF
70 votes properly distributed IN these
three counties, would therefore have
turned the result in the legislature by
giving these three representatives TO
the Democrats. Then the legislature
would have stood 70 Republicans and
70 Democrats on joint ballot for sena-
tor
When it is remembered that q total

year, it is readily sseo that II Is such a
small percentage that It cannot De
expressed in figures or fractions or
language aud this is wnat makes the
Democratic State committee continue
10 claim the legislature and the Re-
publican State committee to be so
closely on guard in watching me
counting IN the close counties. me
official count Of Delaware county is
in, bus with protests and notice OF
contes. from the Democrats, and the
same is true Of NOBLE county.
In Wood cous.ty the Democrats pro.
tested against counting the vote OF a
precinct where the place OF voting was
outside CT the precinct, out within the
ward. Had this precinct been thrown
OUT, it would nave elected the Demo
cratic candidate for representative by
q plurality OF five instead Of the Re-
publican candidate by %. Tne vote
of the precinct was counted and the
Democratic protest fled. Other tech.
nicaIities are expected IL the progress
of the vote in that county tomorrow.
In Noble c0unty there was 6 loag con-
test over 81 scratched tickets that were
finally thrown out because they were
not properly marked. These were g
Republican loss. Every point is De
ing contested il the official count Of
the close count S.
Republican Chairman Nash says
that the Republicans nave safe ma
.iority of I'VE on 1int ballot IN the
legislature. Es aom!ts that the Pil-
ralitieS are small IN some counties,
but claims thsy are safe. lie mas no
doubt OF the result IN any OF the coun-
ties which Ee claims except possloly
Wood county, and IN the event OF the
loss of:that representative, he says the
Legislature would still stand y Re
publicars 10 II Democrats, and have a
msjority OF three on Joint ballot fer
senator. Chairman Nash said the re-
turns from the 18Th distric. showed
that the Republicans had plurality
OF 432, so thar there is No longer any
OF the State senator's in doubt, and The
senate wiIi stand l9 Democrats TO II
Republicans.
ct Republican STATE headquartes,
Summit county is not considered so
doubtful as heretofore, and rs TWO rep
resentaGives are being conceded 10 the
Democrats. This would MAZE Inc
house IS Republicans and 81 Demo,

Democratic Chairman McConvlle
does not admit lha! the Republicans
nave carried the 18th district Tor tae!r

still claims Inc representatives from
