New York, Nov. 4.-The Evening
world prints the following telegram
.5dressed to its editor:
.rbey tell me l am sure of re-elec-
4 .,,,, That is all know about 1t. Com
ssred with elections that usually fol-
r., nresldential elections in Ohio, /
.s,rk there is nothing to complain of
N the present one.
aThe weather was against the Re
.,,hl,eans this year and good times
/ nave made them careless.
81 don't think the result has much
.,nI0cnnce as to the money question.
4 don't see how the Democrats can
,.osonably bring silver up as an Issue
/ n This state again. They did not make
1 - ,esu, of this year. | hardly think
. ba money question ought TO he con-
4 ',i,red as unected either way. The

Columbus. o., Nov. 4.-The canvass
\ a, official votes IL in progress in most
\ NJ the counties Of the state today.
4 These will he watched carefully and
waited dnxiously in the close coun-
'ss and also in the Marion-Lagon
4 ssnatorial district. The Democratic
md the Republican headquarters VIII
NJ kept open to get the official figures
nom the close counties. Some of the
disputed counties are very close, with
puulities on the legislative candi-
Y dates Of less than 100.
No further interest Is taken In the
4 rate ticket since complete returns at
state headquarters last night showed
Republican plurality in the state of
over 5000.
The Republicans today confidently
claim majority to 5 on joint ballot and
lay that Summit county is the only one
in doubt and that its two representa-
ives have been put in the Democratic
Or doubtful column until the official
count is completed.
/ Counting the two doubtful represen-
utlyes from Summit county as Demo-
tats, the house stands 8 Republicans
and 81 Democrats. The only state SEN
uor In dispute is In the Marlon-Logan
district but the Republicans confident
| Is claim that district and the senate
| tands II Republicans and 10 Demo-
| Gratis. This makes the legislature con-
sst OF 70 Republicans and 10 Democrats
/ vim q nlNlOIltg pl llNt bH Jplul Ddllpl
81 United States senator.
/ DEMOCRATS CL.,IM THE LEGIS-
I.ATURE.
Chairman McConvllle still maintains
the Democrats elect majority in the
legislature. He contests the Republic
cans claims to the Woods and to the
| Naron- Logan district, which would
make the legislature stand 10 Demo-
Gratis to Y Republicans.
He claims one of the two representa-
tyes from Cuyahoga county and two
4 from other counties not claimed, pend
| Ing the investigation Of allie ged frauds.
II was understood that there was
terrible fractional treachery during the
CAMPAIGN and with no more margin
than five or six on Joint ballot enough
republicans can be found to go with
The Democratic members to elect Gov.
Bushnell or some other than MIR. Han
nQ. II Is stated that there have been
frequent conferences on this situation
and II may cause sensational ses-
sion. Senator Hanna was endorsed by
the last Republican legislature and
therefore viii have no opposition for
The caucus nomination but 1t is said
that efforts will be made to keep
enough Republicans out of the caucus
10 defeat him.
The first close vote to be received
officially today was that of the Della
ware county which gave Bushnell Il
Republican plurality OF 1926 and Smith.
The Republican candidate for repres-
[ntlye; plurality of only 20. The plu-
Qualities In Wood and Noble counties
are also close. Wood county il thought
Nv be less than Delaware. Represen-
Ntlfes OF the Democratic state COM
mlttee are in these counties watching
We Official count and have filed Of
Elclal protests to the counting of GER
yam precincts and otherwise prepared
EiT eontesting the seats of those re-
EoNing certificates OF election.
