WHAT NASH SAYS.

Chairman Nash says tonight that the
Republicans have q safe majority of
five on joint ballot in the legislature.
He admits that the pluralities are small
in some counties but claims they are
safe. He has no doubt of the result in
any counties which he claims except
possibly Wood county, and in the event
of the loss of that representative, he
says the legislature would still stand
"A Republicans to Il Democrats and
have a majority of three on joint ballot
for senator Chairman Nash said the
returns from the Thirteenth district
showed that the Republicans had plU-
rality of 1872. so that there is no longer
any of the state senators in doubt and
the senate will stand 10 Democrats and
II Republicans
At Republican state headquarters,
Summit county is not considered so
doubtful as heretofore, and it's two rep
resentatives are being conceded to the
Democrats. This would make the
house So Republicans and 81 Demo-
Gratis.
M'CONVILLE'S CLAIM
Chairman McConville does not admit
that the Republicans have carried the
Thirteenth district for their candidate
for state senator, and he still claims
the representatives from Noble, Della
ware, Wood. Muskingum and other
counties claimed by the Republicans.
He also expects the official count to
give the Democrats two Of the II men,
bers of the legislature from Cuyahoga
county. In all these counties and in
others ne says there will be contests
for the seats in the event of the GER
tificates of election being given to the
Republicans.
Chairman McConville charges fraud
in the close counties and in some Re-
publican counties. He says nearly all
the close counties have gone Republic
an heretofore and the Republicans still
have the machinery in those counties
He says the returns have been held
back and it looks suspicious. Other
counties have completed their counting.
while the doubtful counties are still at
it. He says the result was known def
nitely in Cincinnati yesterday morning
and he cannot get definite results even
tonight from Cleveland, where he ex-
poets the vote to be very close on two
or three members of the legislature
Chairman McCOnville will remain here
on duty until the official count of all the
counties is completed.
REPUBLICAN COUNTIES.
The Republicans claim the election
of representatives from the following
counties:

son, Geaugar Lake, Ashtabula, Athens,

pending the interest in the official
counting Of the vote in close counties.
As the official canvass of the vote in IS
counties proceeded today, the Republic
can pluralities on the state ticket in
creased, and on the legislative tickets
it appeared to be getting toward a very
close shave.
While the Republican plurality on the
state ticket exceeds $1,000. the vote on
the legislative is almost as close as it
could be. For this reason there is still
unusual anxiety at the state headquar-
ters of both parties.
REPUBLICAN CLAIM.
The Republicans still claim that the
legislature stands 70 Republicans to 20
Democrats on joint ballot for senator,
and that their candidates for repre-
sentatives in three of the close counties
have been elected by the following plu-
ralities: Delaware county, 30; Wood
county, Is; Noble county, 50, total of
142 on the pluralitieS of these three
erly distributed in these three counties,
would, therefore. have turned the re-
suit in the Legislature by giving these
three representatives to the Democrats.
Then the legislature would have stood
Y Republicans and IS Democrats on
joint ballot for senator.
When it is remembered that the total
vote Of Ohio last year was over /. 900, 900
and that it was almost 1.000.0 600 this
wear. it is readily seen that II is s11cb
a small percentage that it cannot be
clearly expressed in figures. or frac-
tiOns, or language. And this is what
makes the Democratic state committee
continue TO claim the legislature, and
the Republican state committee to be
so closely on guard in watching the
counting in the
