Have Gone Republican.

Columbus, O., Nov Safer II p. m. the
returns showed the democratic gains in
Cincinnati and other cities were reduced,
and that Mclean was likely third at Cleve-
land, and possibly at Toledo, in which cities
Jones drew much more heavily from the
democrats than from the republicans. AT
the same time the republican net gains out
side of Cincinnati, Cleveland and Toledo
were increasing at such rate as to indi-
cate plurality Of from 10000 to 10000 for
Judge Nash for governor and the entire
republican state ticket, including ma
tority of the legislature. Chairman Dick
had previous to the election repeatedly
claimed the election of the entire repub-
lican state ticket by not less than $4,000
plurality. So far he has refused to give
out any figures, but those around him say
that means that he now has no reason to
change his first figures. The later returns
seem to be growing in favor Of the repub-
licans, especially since the returns indi-
cate 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 opposite effect. Judge Nash, repub-
lican candidate, was receiving the con-
CALCULATIONS of his friends and neighbors

Judge Nash (rep.) for governor by over
$4,000. AT ten p m. Mclean (dem.) said he
was not prepared yet to answer the ques-
election.
Toledo, o.. Nov. s.-Mayor Jones con-
cedes his own defeat. "If my ace has con-
tributed in any way" he said, ito the sue
cess Of John r. Mclean and rebuke to
the infamous Philippine policy Of the adj
ministration feel that it has not been in
vain" Owing to the frightful amount Of
scratching on the local tickets, returns
come in very slowly. At II o'clock 26 pre-.
cincts out Of ITO give Nash 2,o7O; Mclean.
1856. and Jones, 1,449. Only three Of the
larger precincts in the city have returned.
This includes ten of the 20 country pre-
cincts where Jones is weak.
Cincinnati, Nov. 8-With the figures
available at ten o'clock in Cincinnati 1t APP
pears that Mclean will carry the city by
about 1000 votes, and that Jones' vote will
reach nearly 10000. The Times-Star con-
cedes the Mclean and fusion ticket have
carried Hamilton county.
Columbus. o., Nov. 8.-The State Journal
says: Forty-four precincts of 124 in Frank
lin county (Nash's home) give a net av-
erage republican gain of 26 to the precinct.
This will give Nash 1900 in county, gain Of
$500, compared with 81.
Kentucky.
Louisville, KY, Nov. S.-Returns from
the state are coming in slowly, but each
county shows republican gains, and to such
an extent that the returns indicate Taylor's
election by majority of over 5000 Secre-
tary Hampton, of the republican commit
tee. is claiming Taylor's election by TO-
600. Chairman Long and Gov. Bradley
are confident of Taylor's election and say
he has carried the state by safe plurali-
ty, but they decline to give figures. The
Courier-Journal (dem.), from its figures,
says the result is in doubt The Post (dem.),
which has opposed Goebel, claims Taylors
40 Do%, fro .sx,,
coming in slowly, but show republican
gains and indicate that the republican
ticket has carried the city of Louisville by
about 1000
Chairman Blackburn, Of the Goebel cam
paign committee, said: I'VE will go to
Louisville with majority ranging from
10000 to 1900. All reports received are Of
an encouraging nature, and with Louisville
democratic we expect to win in the state
by a nice majority. The legislature is GER
tainly democratic"
Nebraska.
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. SIT is evident to
both parties that Nebraska has repledged
her allegiance to the fusion standard.
While the republicans are not yet willing
to admit defeat, early figures point that
way There has been a steady falling off
In the vote of both parties, but, while the
fusionists have suffered but little, the re-
publican loss has not been less than three
to precinct. II the present ratio is main
tanned ex-Gov. Holcomb and the fusion
state ticket will be elected by not less
than 10000. Fusionists claim much more.

107,9i9. The three remaining towns in 1898
