he said by majority of the
voters. The combined vote for
McIcna and Jones is about 10000
greater than the vote for Nash,
and, to this extent the admins
tration candidate is in the minority
in Ohio. Jones stood for principles
opposed to the Republican party.
He was against the Philippines
policy and against Hanna, the
administration chef representa-
tive, in the State. Mclean of
course, was hostile to the Republi
can party. The people who voted
for Jones and Mclean voted against
the ideas represented by the Re
publicanS, and it SEEMS said the
Senator, that the voters who
were thus Hntagonistic Outnumbcr-
ed by 81, 600 those favored the
President

vote against the Subjugation of the
Flipipos and the iorcible annex

been stated by the President in his
Western speeches and repeated by
Republican orators in Ohio, that
