York II Mix-Up,
Columbus, o., Nov. Sat 1890 the
republicans claimed that their plural
ity would exceed $4,000 with over 1907
600 for zones out of q total of less
than 100000. The republican major
ity in the legislature is larger than
usual, but no senator is to be elected.
Judge Nash was serenaded after mid
night at the Neil house. To an en-
thusistic crowd he made n brief
speech, saying that the result was a
message to President Mckinley that
his home state indorsed his admins
tration and presaged Mckinley's re-
nomination and reelection in 1900.
At 10 p. m. last night the chairmen
of both state committees were claim
ing the election of their respective
state tickets and a majority of the
legislature. Samuel Jones is certainly
the closest third place candidate Of
any that have yet entered the Ohio
gubcrnatorial race. The indications
are that he has drawn more heavily
from the republicans in the cities
than from the democrats, with the ex-
ception of Columbus and some small
Ter cities. Even after the returns arc
complete from Cincinnati. Cleveland
and Toledo it may be difficult to reach
the result positively owing to
the tides in the Jones vote, which run
in streans and cause republican losses
in some places and democratic losses
in others. At 10 p. III. Judge Nash
claimed his election as governor. The
Associated Press sent II question to
Mr.. Mclean at his residence asking If
he claimed his election and received
the answer that he had no reply to
make.
The State Journal says: Forty-four
precincts out of 1874 in Franklin coun-
ty, Nash's home, give a net average
republican gain of 26 to a precinct.
This will give Nash 1000 in the com
ty, a gain of $500 compared with 1897.
After IL p. m. the returns showed the
republican net gains We're increasing
at such rate as to indicate Il plurality
of from 10000 to 10000 for Judge
Nash for governor and the entire re-
publican state ticket, including a
majority of the legislature. The later
returns seem to be growing in favor
of the republicans, especially since
the returns indicate that Jones hurt
the democrats much more than the
republicans in Cleveland, Toledo and
other cities, while the first reports in
dicated exactly the opFosite effect.
Judge Nash, republican candidate,
who was receiving the congratulations
of his friends and neighbors at the
Neil house after III p. M, said:
81 claim my election now by at
least 10000, but / am too much en-
gagged to give a statement of the cause
or analysis of the results"
Columbus, o., Nov. s.-The bulle-
tins giving FOG net republican gain in
sixty precincts outside of Cincinnati,
Cleveland and Toledo include the
heavy republican gains Mt Nash's
home in Franklin county, where the
republican gain is over 5000. This
county gave 1900 democratic plural
ity two years ago and up to a late
hour appears as the banner republican
county of the state. Mclean, likewise,
reversed republican majority in
Hamilton county, where his plurality
was surprising.
There are s,07s voting precincts in
Ohio, CT in Lucas county, 1T6 in Cuya-
hoga and 27O in Hamilton county.
Owing TO fusion in Hamilton county,
confusion in Cuyahoga and Jones re-
siding in Lucas county these three
counties are considered separately
from the rest of the state by those
compiling losses and gains. The vote
is compared with that of 1897, when
Bushnell was elected governor by 49,
165 and the republicans carried both
branches of the legislature that elect
ed NJ. A. Hanna senator. The issue was
even more against Senator Hanna this
year than when he was n candidate
two years ago, the faction opposing
him cooperating this year more OPEN
Ely with the democrats. Indications
again point to the Bushnell-Kurtz re-
publicans supporting Mclean and the
Jones vote as being as Independent of
factions as of parties.
Cincinnati, o., Nov. s.-The Times
Star extra comedies Mclean and fu-
sion ticket have carried Hamilton
county.
Columbus, O., Nov. s.~-TeIegrams
from Cleveland TO committee here in
dictate that Jones has carried Cnya-
hoga county. Chairman Seward, fig
uring on returns of forty precincts
outside of Hamilton, Cuyahoga and
Lucas counties, claims McLcan's cleo
ton by 1000, but Colonel w. A. Tay-
Tor, one of McLcan's managers, with
the same figures, makes Nash's plu-
rality about 5000.
Columbus, o., Nov. s.-Private adj
vices to Governor Bushnell from Clark
county, his home, say there are heavy
democratic gains there. Returns from
ten Columbus precincts indicate Nash,
republican, gains an average of 10
votes to the precinct. If he gains II
votes per precinct he will carry Frank
lin county. The republican chairman
announced Nash's county MS their
banner county.
Cincinnati, o., Nov. s.--One hundred
and thirteen precincts out of 2O4 in
Cincinnati shows a total vote of &c.
lao, of which Mclean has n plurality
of 941. Jones vote in these precincts
is 5000, Indicating a total vote in the
city for him of nearly 10000.
Cincinnati, o., Nov. s.-One hun
dred aud twenty precincts outside OF
Cincinnati, Cleveland and Toledo give
Nash, republican. 1902: Mclean, 49,,
305; Jones, 1850. The same precincts
in 1897 gave bushnell, republican, 49,
304; Chapman, democrat, 13,457.
