 pretation of the Ballot.
 Columbus. O., Nov 3.-This has been a day of anxiety with Ohio politicians. It opened with the republicans and democrats both claiming the election of the legislature. This forenoon tEe democrats conceded the election ot the republican state ticket by larger plurality than was given last night in the earliest dispatches. Tonight the democratic state committee announces no definite claims on the legislature, and the republican state committee mas raised it's claim to a majority of hve on joint ballot.
 On returns complete at the repuD- lican headquarters the democrats will have a majority of two in the senate and the republicans seven in the house. Fusionists from Cincinnati are all counted as democrats. The republi-
  the democrats. Senator Voight is the only one of four senators elected on the fusion ticket in Cincinnati who is a republican, and he now becom5s a factor. If Senator Voight should vote with the republicans on the elec- tion of a senator or anything else the vote would be tie, with the lieuten- ant-governor, a republican, having the deciding vote. The republicans now expect two or more of the fusionists to vote with them for senator, in which event they claim majority of seven on joint ballot
 YESTERDAY GARISH LIGHT.
 Columbus, O., Nov. 3.-The result of the election in Ohio is still in doubt. With more complete returns today than were obtainable last night it is evident it will require an official count to satisfy the contestants. The closeness of the election has caused intense feeling and cry of fraud.
 When the result was in doubt i'll 1885 it was discovered that tally sheets were forged. Last night the republicans telegraphed to all their county committees to beware of the frauds of 1885, and when the republi- cans were claiming the legislature by only one or two majority on joint bal lot, the democrats telegraphed to their county committees to beware of all sorts of fraud and to remember that it was a majority of one by which the great crime of 1877 was committed t at defeated Tilden.
 State headquarters will be kep5 open until the official counts are made in all of the eighty-eight counties of the state. It is expected there will be trouble in some of the close counties There will no doubt be much agita- ton in all of them tonight. In the meantime the managers of both the democratic and republican headquar- ters are today claiming the state.
 The democrats claim the election o1 Chapman for governor and their state ticket on such close majority it wiz require official figures to determine the plurality.
 This afternoon the democratic state committee no longer claims the election of their state ticket, but an- nounces that their majority in the legislature on joint ballot will not be less than six and may possibly be nine l.. that the republican plurality on tht state ticket will be from 1200O tt 15,000, and that the republicans will have a majority of at least three ol joint ballot in the legislature. On of the doubtful counties has been Del aware, which this afternoon reportet the election of a republican b. twenty-six plurality Chairman Nasl announced that the legislature wuol, stand, seventy-five republicans an, seventy democrats.
 BUSHNELL NO DOUBT SAFE.
 Cincinnati, Nov. 3.-A careful com pilation of the vote for governor made from returns received from al sources up to 2 p. m. indicate a plu rality for Bushnell approaching 25,OOC
