COUNT OF THE VOTES
Showing How the Election Has
Gone in the Dozen
States.
OHIO ENDORSES SENATOR HANNA
Kentucky Elects a Republican
Governor with the Leg
isIature in Doubt


and Massachusetts, Does the Same for
Crane-Nebras1za Goes for Bryan and
the Democratic Leader Claims $4,000
PIurality-New York and New Jersey
Observation-Disclosures Returns to the
Democratic Fold.
Columbus, o., Nov. S.-There are s.
07S voting precincts in Ohio, 81 in
Lucas county, 176 in Cuyahoga and
27O in Hamilton county. Owing to
fusion in Hamilton, confusion in Cuya-
hoga, and Jones residing in Lucas,
these three counties are considered
separately from the rest of the state.
The vote is compared with that of 1897
when Bushnell was elected governor
by %, 165 and the Republicans carried
both branches of the legislature that
elected NJ. A. Hanna senator. The is
sue was even more against Senator
Hanna this year than when he was
u candidate two years ago, the faction
opposing him cooperating this year
more openly with the Democrats
Republicans Claim $4,000.
At 1890 the Republicans claimed
that their plurality would exceed So,
900 with over 100000 for Jones out of
a total Of less than 100000. The Re-
publican majority in the legislature is
larger than usual, but no senator is to
be elected. Judge Nash was serenaded
after midnight at the Neil House. To
an enthusiastic crowd he made brief
speech upon being introduced by Hon.
Harry NJ. Daugherty, his rival for the
nomination. Judge Nash said that the
Ohio result was a message to Presi-
dent Mckinley that his home state in
dorsed his administration and presaged
McKinley's denomination and re-elec-
ton in 1900.
Where the Jones Vote Hurt.
The returns indicate that Jones hurt
the Democrats much more than the
Republicans in Cleveland, Toledo and
Columbus and other cities, while the
first reports indicated exactly the OPP
posite effect. The returns at Cleveland
and Toledo are very slow. Fifty
precincts in Cuyahoga county give
Nash, 1882; Mclean, 1870; Jones, g.
476-a Republican loss of 2,162 and a
Democratic loss of 4.259. This will
give Jones a majority over the other
two candidates in this county. At
Toledo indications at midnight were
that Nash would barely pull through,
as all save three of country precincts
were in. Seventy-twO out of 10 pre-
cincts give Nash 6,O96: Mclean, 1857;
Jones, 1891. Nearly all remaining pre-
cincts are Democratic.
NEBRASKA CAPTURED by FUSION.
Bryan Says 1t Is a Protest Against the Nc
Kinley Policy.
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. St is evident
to both parties that Nebraska has re-
pledged her allegiance to the fusion
standard. While Republicans are not
yet willing to admit defeat early fig
ures point that way There has been
steady falling off of the vote of
both parties, but while the fusiOnists
have suffered but little the Republican
loss has not been less than three to
precinct. If the present ratio is main
tanned Ex-Governor Holcomb and the
fusion state ticket will be elected by
not less than 10000. Fusionists claim
much more.
Later-The returns continue to show
steady fusion gains and the majority
for Holcomb will not be less than
10000. w. J. Bryan gave out this
statement at 1 o'clock this morning:
''The campaign in Nebraska was
fought on national issues and the re-
suit is protest against the policy Of
the administration" Mr.. Bryan said
he had no comment to make on the
results in other states. At 1 o'clock
Chairman Tefft, of the Republican
committee, admitted that the figures
at hand showed the election of the
fusion ticket.
