oFF1o1AL CANVASS IN PROGRESS.
Columbus, O, Nov. 4.-The canvass of
the official votes is in progress 10 most
of the counties today. The Republicans
today confidently claim majority of
five on joint ballot of the Legislature.
Chairman McConville contests the Re-
publican claims to Noble and Wood coun.
ties and the Marion.Logan district, and
says the Legislature stands 70 Democrats
to "a Republicans. he claims two out of
70 representatives from Cuyahoga ooun-
ty, and three from other counties not

legged frauds. 1t is claimed that with no
more margin than five or six votes on
joint ballot, enough Republican members
can be found who will 60 with the Demo

MARYLAND REPUBLICAN,.
independently announces the corrected
figures in Talbot county insure the elec-
tion of the entire Republican legislative
delegation. Talbot county was original
ly conceded to the Democrats, but later
unofficial returns showed that Levi H.
Tull, Republican, had majority of two
over Frank 8. Orem, and William D.
Leonard, Democrats, and Edward Wood
wall, Republican, had tied them, while
William G. Dudley, Democrat, had a
majority of but. four. The Evening News,
claims this change insures the lower house
to the Republicans by AZ votes, to 43 for
the Democrats, gives the Republicans IS

the entire Republican delegation by about
$50 ajority.
NEBRAsKA's CASE HOPELESS.
Omaha, Neb., Nov. 4.-Flfty-two coun-
ties have made returns on the head of the
ticket. These give Sullivan, Democrat
Populist, $3.50; Post, Republican, 59,.
425. The same counties last year gave
Holcomb 8l,O77; MoCall 67,O70. This
shows the vote to have fallen off 1919
per cent from 1896. IT this ratio is
maintained, Sullivan will get 27,790 votes
in the remaining counties, and Post a.
O48. This will leave the total vote ap-
proximately: Sullivan 93,669; Post 49,
329; Sullivan's plurality, 10,330.
SENATOR HANNA CHEERFUL.
New York, Nov. 4.-The Evening World
prints the following telegram:
"They tell me am sure of reelection.
That is all know about it. It is an off
year and compared with the elections
that usually follow presidential elections
IN Ohio, think there is nothing to COM
plain of. The weather was against Re-
publicans this year and the good times
made them careless. I don't think the
result has much significance as to the
money question. don't see that the
Democrats can reasonably bring silver
up as an issue in this state again.

DIR. PARKHURsT ON NEW YORK.
Paris, Nov. 4.-Rev. DR.. Charles Park.
hurst made the following statement re-
garding the Democratic victory of New

maDy's clutches after it has been once
rescued from them, may the Lord have
mercy on New York"
NEW YORK LEGISLATURE IS REPUBLICAN,.

election of members of the lower house of
the state Legislature are complete from all
but eight districts which are in New
York and Kings counties. These show
the election of 10 Republican,, 81 Dem

should the remaining eight districts all
be carried by the Democratic nominees,
which is not prob abl-, the Republicans
would still have msjority of eight in the
assembly. Chairman Elliott F. Dam
forth, of the Democratic State committee
said today: "We estimate we have "a
members. There is no doubt but that
the Democrat with the Worth Republic
ans and Citizens Unionists will organize
the Legislature. This has been CAM
paiQn against bossism throughout the
state and believe the factional fight
among the Republicans is ION to the
death."
