hoga and Lucas counties are as vet too
meagre to give definite figures. Enough
have been received to indicate the cleo
ton of Judge Nash by a greater plu-
rality than that of Governor Bushnell
two years ago, which was 2S165. thus
ensuring the election of the entire Re-
publican state ticket. Both branches
of the legislature are Republican"
After this announcement further re-
turns We're received indicating greater
Republican gains. and the band that
had been awaiting orders al Repubii-
can state headquarters struck up for
the first time during the night. the glee

the Democratic committee was asked
for statement on the Ohio results. but

Press. He was then asked if he con-
ceded the election of Judge Nash or

THE result in Cuyahoga county is
not different from what was expected.
and was due TO local conditions. which
were pretty well underslocd before the
election. The result, so far as this
county is concerned. has no real sig
nificance, and while ii is not pleasant
ii is not a surprise. When the returns
are all in il will be possible TO analyze
the figures and understand all they
mean. but until the returns are more
complete there is no use saying any
thing more than that they show a Re-
publican victor-."

Il believe the moral force viii lead
the legislature to pass the municipal
code commission bill. which provides
that every municipal officer in Ohio
shall be elected by the non-partisan
