BIO. Chairman Nash says there were
6actional troubles in other cities than
Cincinnati - notably Columbus and
Toledo - and that the rainy weather
and other reasons on Tuesday caused
an unusually large stay-at-h home vote.
He states that the official count will
show that the vote was much smaller
IN the rural districts than expected, and
with all that the Republicans carried
more counties than were carried last
year on the presidential vote.
Trying to Explain the situation.
The Republicans claim that their leg
tslative ticket suffered defeat in Ham
alton county because OF the fear by the
reform Republioans-or the fusionists
that strongly Republican legislature
would reorganize Cincinnati or some Of
III municipal boards and take from
Mayor Tafel, Democrat, recently elect
ed as fusionist, some Of the powers of
his office. The Democrats state that the
results in Cincinnati and other cities
were due to the feeling against "bosses,"
OF whom Senator Hanna was consid-
cred the chief, and to fractional fights
that will be carried into the nent sos
