The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1899-11-10
From Today's Early Edition.

Columbus, Nov. 8, 2 a. m.-Chair.
man Charles Dick, of the Republi'
can Committee, insists that Nash
will have 10000 plurality in the
state, basing his Judgment on the
rural vote that is slow in coming in
and believing that the Jones vote
does not amount 10 much outside of
the large cities. The Democratic
Committee will not give any figures
and is making no concessions, but
insists that 10000 is too high a
figure.
Columbus, Nov. 7.-Election in Ohio
has been held without serious disaster.
The interest was the most intense for
years and the vote throughout the state
was tremendously heavy. For weeks
the political managers have been hust-
ling and never has the state been so
thoroughly polled and organized. Both
committees seemed to have plenty of
money and they used 1t to the best ad-
vantage for their respective sides. John
r. Mclean and Judge Nash are both in
Columbus tonight. Mclean has his
headquarters at home, and receives the
returns there. He has made magni-
ficent campaign and when he returned
from Cincinnati tonight he felt at ease
and confident that he had done his duty
by his party and made good his promise
at GAINESVILLE: you have done your
duty, / will do mine." Those who
know how he has labored for the sue
cess of the ticket appreciate what he
has done. No other man could have
given the cause the vigor that he has.
The returns from the election indi-
Gated at an early hour that there had
been a great deal of scratching. This
was sure to make the count late. 1t was
decided that the comparisons would be
made from the vote for governor in
1897.
The first news from one of the large
cities was satisfactory to the Demo-
Gratis. Mayor Jones's home, Toledo,
seemed to have something encouraging.
Betting was going on at a great rate.
Republicans had remained in their
booths so long that it was known that
Nash was being cut Whether the
votes were for Mclean or Jones was the
problem. 1t was reported that bets
ran $40 to 81 on Mclean.
The first return that came in from
outside was from Cincinnati. 1t was a
loss for both Nash and Mclean, ac-
counted for by the Jones vote. Precinct
C, of the 23d ward, gave Nash 21S, Nc
Lean 10, Jones SO. The same precinct
in 1897 gave Bushnell 254 and Chapman
144.
Reports began to come in rapidly
after o'clock and the men at head
quarters were kept busy tabulating the
reports.

Nash 154S, Mclean 2194, Jones 3S9.
Mclean average gain to the precinct.
Hamilton county-Liberty precinct,

The few scattering returns show

one-twelfth of the total vote and COM
ing largely from Republicans.
