NAsH'S PLURALITY OVER $4,000
Entire State Ticket Elected by Re.

in the Legislature--C Com t
meHts of Jones.

Columbus, o., Nov. S.--Ohio has
gone republican by plurality of So
900 to 10000.
lhe democratic state committee ad-
mlts defeat, but makes no statement.
III is understood Mclean may make n
statement soon bearing on the causes
that brought about the result. Judge
Nash, goyernor-elect received many
congratulations, and especially over
carrying his own county of Franklin
by over 1000. The county was car
rled by the democrats for governor by
l,oOO TWO years ago. Chairman Dick s
revised figures claim $4,000 to 10000
plurality for Nash and the rest of the
state ticket, and an unusually large
increase in both branches of the leg
lslature. The total vote was exceeded
only at the last presidential election.
III VIII reach 100000, as compared with
594,OOO last year and S64.000 in 1897.
The plurality of Nash exceeds that of
Bushnell in 1897. Jones' vote, al
though the largest ever polled for a
third candidate, is not regarded as
large today as indicated in the earlier
returns last night. 1t is not likely
to exceed 100000, almost half of which
was cast in Cleveland, Cincinnati and
Toledo. 1t is estimated that Jones'
vote in Cuyahoga county is $4,000;
hamilton, 10000; Lucas, 5000; Frank
lin, 1900. Outside of fusion troubles
In Hamilton and the confusion in
Cuyahoga, and the Jones movement in
other places, the republicans seem to
have made gains throughout the state,
especially in the rural districts. The
senate stands 10 republicans, demo-
Gratis, 4 doubtful. The house, 5S re.
publicans, "a democrats, II doubtful.

ctpt one state senator, two represen-
tatives, county treasurer, probate
Judge and two justices of the peace.
Caldwell, republican, for lieutenant

1900.
Cincinnati, o., Nov. s.-Hamilton

republican, 34,S05; Mclean, 35,079;
Jones, 1880 McLean's plurality is
174. Caldwell, republican, for lieuten-
ant governor has a plurality of 939,
and the remainder of the state ticket
corresponds with the vote for lieuten-
ant governor.
Claim Of Democrats.
Columbus, o., Nov. SIT was re-
ported this afternoon that the dem
ocrats had elected Abraham Patrick
lieutenant governor. j. A. Caldwell,
republican candidate, is counsel for
the Ohio Brewers association and the
Anti-Saloon league made "a special
fight on him. The republican state
committee claims he runs ahead i'm
some localities and will average close
with the ticket.
Jones Comments.
Toledo, o., Nov. S.-Mayor Jones
commented on the result as follows:
THE result of the election is graft
flying to me, as it must be to every
lover Of liberty. The vote for the non
partisan idea is large enough to justi-
fy the claim that the cause has won
the greatest victory in the political
history of the state. | believe the
moral force will lead the legislature to
pass the municipal code, which pro-
vides that every municipal officer in
Ohio shall be elected by the non-par-
tisan plan and do away entirely with
political parties in all our cities. Fur
thermore, the vote for the non-par-
tisan idea will have it's influence in
shaping national issues next year.
There will be more of morals in the
national platforms by reason of it. l
am thankful that the non-partisan
vote in Ohio may be regarded as fa-
voring Christian policy toward the
phiIinnineS "
